Help us keep documenting the chaos

Running a satirical news empire from our living rooms isn't cheap. Well, actually it is, but we'd like to pretend it's expensive to justify asking for money.

  • We watch boring council meetings so you don't have to
  • We may or may not buy protest domains with our own money
  • Coffee isn't free (neither is Natty Ice)
  • Someone needs to document the 27-month kayak launch saga
  • Our therapist says this is healthier than yelling at clouds
