Purloining (because it's a great word) and media obfuscation (isn't English wonderful?)
I found (see: saw, spotted no owner, wiggled over, grabbed, stuffed in bag) a scarf on the train this morning, a pretty scarf of exactly the kind I've been hankering for, and so I made it mine, but because the world is so bloody hi-larious, it's got one of those tags shops put on to stop people purloining things. I legitimatly adopted a lonely scarf and am now stuck with the guilty ink-explody device!
Ahahahaha world, you are so funny.
Work update: The Stationary Room Revolution is nigh!
Repent all ye who lay the highlighters with pens and mix up the envelopes!
I think it's important to maintain a healthy level of scepticism in regards to news stories, escpecially those that probably have a motive or bias. There is such a thing as over-compensation, though.
I just read a headline about the Thai government denying firing into a temple, and my brain went - Statement from government + bias (opposition possibly injured) = bullshit. It's become wired to believe most statements (generally defensive ones) are lies.
The next obvious step is to believe everything I hear...
