As The Mercury News reports, a gaggle of troublesome turkeys have laid siege to NASA’s Ames Center in Mountain View, California.

According to the report, the Ames gobblers are defecating all over campus, blocking traffic, pecking at windows and cars — they’re even proving to be a threat to the agency’s aircraft. Making matters worse, people are refusing to stop feeding the birds in spite of a “no feeding the wildlife” policy.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

Kinda strange, missing a generation - if it was a will, intestacy rules mean the inheritance would be shared amongst the children before it went to the grandkids...

I'm glad to see her go, I'm amazed she lasted this long. She was part of the corruption machine.

I have considerable confidence in Sadiq Khan and he's done well here again.

Good to see some common sense being shown to academia - I emphasise being shown to them, not by them.

Their biggest donor has pulled his millions because of their covid rules.
I'd never heard of him but he seems like a brilliant chap, clever, successful, wealthy, and he knows that academics need to be guided by people in the real world, not the other way around.
