Under 6 pee wees remains a deeply unserious level of football
82-12 is gross and shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Congrats PVL for turning the sport into AFL.
Heading up to the ol’ dumpling place to stand at the big window and see some dumplings being made
The ABC dot com is so committed to the idea that AFL has a following outside Australia, it’s quite lovely

Walking into the cinema to go see The Odyssey while carrying an LRB tote bag and a highlighted copy of Emily Wilson’s review. It impresses all the staff, and they offer me a free bag of popcorn. I refuse, as I pull out my container of Kimchi. Everyone stops what they’re doing and applauds

If it was people's genuine anxiety that would be different again from what I suspect is a deliberate misinformation campaign. Seeing nearly identical seed posts inviting people to comment, popping up in different groups.

That alert very tough on the over 55s!
Yeah better sort out those ~checks notes~ over 55s
