Mythical being of the day: Kraken [krah-kuhn] noun A large and aggressive sea-beast said to inhabit Nordic waterways principally, but ubiquitous in Scandinavian folk-lore. Capable of forming powerful whirlpools sufficient to imperil passing nautical traffic, they are in all instances to be avoided. Never photographed in its native fjords it has nevertheless been claimed, by multiple sources – various and dubious in equal proportion, to have been sighted and captured, if only on camera, off one of Auckland, New Zealand’s beaches in the Spring of 2021, sadly forced from its Norwegian home to the opposite side of the globe, almost certainly as a result of plankton depletion in its preferred habitat caused by anthropogenic climate change:

“I wouldn’t trust her with anything.”
“The vaccinated must feel pretty ripped off considering this expert’s advice to beat the pandemic is to open a window.”
“Just sitting here kraken up at the label ‘expert’.”
“This is satire right. This pink haired tart is a proven liar and hypocrite. I’d be safer reading tea leaves”…
Yep, we’re done. We’re not havin’ it; Siouxsie, get out, get kraken, get gone. Your fifteen minutes of doom-porn fame are finished.
