> The Science Museum has been accused of trying to "Quietly hide away dirty money" after it agreed to a request by the Dr Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation to repurpose a £2m donation earmarked for a prominent new gallery.
> In 2017, the Science Museum announced that the galleries would have two new key funders: GSK and The Dr Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation.
> The museum confirmed to the Guardian it plans to keep the money and spend it on other projects, and said a donor board at the museum names the Dr Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation among its funders.
> The Science Museum said it came to an agreement with the foundation that the £2m gift "Would be most effectively applied to support work across the museum's world-class scientific, technological and medical collections rather than being specifically designated to one project".
> The director of the Science Museum group, Ian Blatchford, defended the museum's decision to take money from oil companies, including for sponsorship of exhibitions about climate-related issues.
> A spokesperson said: "Rather than trying to quietly hide away dirty money, the museum should be drawing an ethical red line and turning it down. When other cultural organisations are confidently cutting their ties to oil money too, it's troubling that when it comes to ethical sponsorship the Science Museum is still dragging its feet."

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

Most Alarming People 2020
(The Daily Beast and the New Yorker used to run lists like this as a year-end feature. This is my humble attempt to keep the tradition alive. A year of so ago someone said it reads like the rantings of Abe Simpson. I think he may be right.)
STEVE ADLER, Democratic Mayor of Austin Aggravating Factors: Recorded a message asking the people of his city to stay at home due to the virus. He recorded it from a resort in Mexico. He was there for a wedding. The wedding featured a big crowd. It was held indoors. Extenuating Factors: He “never violated any orders or guidelines.” Sentence: His state’s upcoming blue wave passes him by.
PAUL ELIAS ALEXANDER, Former assistant secretary for public affairs of the Department of Health and Human Services, just another talk show person advising the Trump administration. Aggravating Factors: He called for colleges and schools to remain open in order to rapidly spread the infection and establish herd immunity. His policy would have caused many thousands more deaths. "Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions etc. have zero to little risk….so we use them to develop herd…we want them infected…" Controlled the statements of public health officials because, "None of those people have my skills. I make the judgment whether this is crap." Extenuating Factors: He is a doctor, a PhD, not an MD, but still, he is a doctor. Supposedly there are no photographs of him. Sentence: Loss of senses of taste and smell.
SCOTT ATLAS, MD He was the head of White House policy for the Covid-19 epidemic. Before that, he was some sort of radiologist, but he has been retired for ten years. Aggravating Factors: Is advocating herd immunity as a response. The more infected the better. Extenuating Factors: Seems to be more of a crank than a quack. Sentence: “The only way this stops is if people rise up.”
STEVE BANNON, He has made his fortune fleecing the trailer park set. Both a financial and a fashion criminal. Aggravating Factors: When he was arrested, he was riding out the pandemic on the superyacht of an exiled Chinese billionaire. (Cf. Jerry Falwell, Jr.) Extenuating Factors: Did seven years in the Navy. Sentence: His zone gets flooded with shit.
TODD BELL, Pastor at the Calvary Baptist Church, Millinocket, Maine. Aggravating Factors: He officiated at a wedding in rural Maine. Someone was sick and sparked the biggest outbreak in the state. Not his fau

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
