Quote: A third asked animal rights group PETA to “save these poor dogs from this nightmare.”
The show's utter garbage, but the brain of that person's even worse. PETA would, under an impentrable aura of self-righteousness, murder all the dogs for the lulz and then toss the corpses in some random third party's dumpster.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ah reality TV - opiate of the masses without 3 brain cells to rub together. Sadly Oz seems to have decided that rubbish should be the major content of current tv programming.
I think it is a conspiracy by the streaming companies to make tv so bloody awful we will pay them for content.

So, I looked through the front page of the BBC website, interested to see this years April Fool gag. Maybe it's a sign of the times, but I can't work out which one (or ones) is the gag and which are true.
"Half of people don't know Covid symptoms, study finds"
"Runway dining at $540 a meal proving hit in Japan"
"Few with Covid symptoms self isolating, study finds."
"Rice indispensable, but areas of concern remain for England"
"Can we guess which number between 1 and 10 you're thinking of?" (No, they couldn't.)
"Capturing every hour of each New Year's Day for 24 years"
"How good are you at "adulting" really?
"Nike sues over "Satan Shoes" with human blood"
Give me strength.

news.com has some good ones at the moment too.
"Train cleaner’s sick bin juice scheme"
"Claims CEO used ‘mind control’ on staff"
"Rare chance to own Toadie’s ‘Neighbours house’"
"TV star transforms tablecloth into racy top"
"Depressing picture of mysterious ghost Macca’s"
"Boost mood and look younger in one minute"

. . . and this is not even the finished result of the damage done to the general population by their "hand held devices". There will come a time that you will look back on these as the good old days.
U can make book on it.

The "Satan shoes" is obviously straight news. Even the Beeb isn't that warped.

Since half the Covid symptoms match my daily situation pre-covid, I'd say it's half the alleged Covid experts who don't know the symptoms. Seriously, I went through the CDC covid symptom chart and realized that I've had Covid for several decades now.

I forgot today was April Fools. I think the world is too sensitive now and we won't be seeing many good jokes anymore.

I thought the BBC had given up on those stupid "jokes" a few years ago.
And I, for one, appreciate that. There's plenty of other sites for that sort of thing.

DREADFULS?
As in "Penny Dreadfuls" - cheap popular serial literature produced during the nineteenth century?

After reading a little of John von Neumann some time ago I admired him for his contributions to many and diverse fields. I recently read a bit more. INCREDIBLE This guy was on another level almost incomprehensible. If he were a programmer he wouldn't be a 10X programmer he'd be a 10^10X Programmer. I'd be happy to be a 2X programmer.
