Eh, businesses with poor/unethical practices can see short-term gains that justify cutting corners despite the long-term consequences. I don't have a lot of faith in the market correcting this stuff on its own.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

That is terrifying.
The bees, or the sheep?
Or the beesheep hybrids?????

Sheep that carry bees in their mouths so when they baa they shoot bees?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As I understand, it's very poor practice to hurt the sheep in shearing, because that affects productivity
You'd think, right? But mulesing continues to "save" the sheep from issues generated from breeding for maximum skin area.

The bees, but beesheep hybrids don't sound much better.

And maybe Marine One (x3) just went by.
Except I thought that was tomorrow. Maybe also a practice run?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I find the bee story mildly terrifying. I give your friend props for working with his hive despite their agressivity.
Randomly, the beesheeps remind me of the Monty Python sketch about the French airsheeps. "Ou sont les passagers?"

The beesheeps take me to a Night Vale place. Which isn't a caught up place. Can anyone really be caught up, with all the live shows and non-podcast ones? Well, I guess Cecil mostly is.
A fic recently taught me the spelling of Khoshekh. That surprised me. I don't know what I was expecting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That was one of the first Monty Python sketches I ever saw, which caused me to instantly fall in love with the show. (Well, the first part of the sketch, anyway. "Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.")
