Driving back from Leeston. Driving past Lincoln Uni. Four students openly stealing a park bench and scurrying across the road with it. Slowed down to let them cross and thought 'I don't want to know' and kept going.

today because of the Six60 concert. Very good for supporting the local economy. Very taxing on personal patience levels. (They are also a bit of a boring band, sorry.)

Well, happy 230th anniversary to Edward Jenner carrying out the first successful vaccination against smallpox, opening up a field of science which has saved a number of lives too unfathomable to count, and which continues to be uncontroversial and widely accepted to this day

I know we should be empathetic to workers like couriers because their working conditions are rubbish, but boy oh boy the generally shit service I've had the past few weeks (unaccountable delays, delivery instructions just ignored) has worn that very thin.

Many years late to this. Incredible song. Brutal. "The neighbor's brother came home in a box/But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault/Another red heart taken by the American dream."

I think the name of this establishment gives a very good idea of the type of place it is. (Full disclosure: sadly, when I was a student, it is almost guaranteed I would have frequented this bar 🙄.)
