Hello and welcome to Thursday links. It’s also somehow the last day of April, which seems impossible? How was March ten thousand years long and April passed in the blink of an eye? Quarantime is so weird, you guys.
In case you missed it, New Zealand ended their lockdown the other day, which meant that McDonald’s, which had been closed in the country, was allowed to open back up. People responded enthusiastically, with lines hundreds of cars long that began forming at midnight the night before restaurants reopened. In the town of Rotorua, despite having enough stock for five days, all three branches sold out of food yesterday and were forced to temporarily close.
