Lmao

Macarthur's not a real place.

I mean, has anybody ever been?

#Perth things that happened to me over the last week or so

An orangutan

This orangutan has big Uncle energy

Meh -- the last time a senior Asian Cup was hosted in Australia, Australia lost to South Korea in the last group game and that turned out pretty well #AUSvKOR

Obviously it takes two to tango, but is the last 20 minutes the best *football* the Matildas have played for yonks? #AUSvKOR

Lmao Colacovski being a little piss boy -- love it!

Unless we lose.

#AKLvPER

Midfield still needs sorting. I think Pennington and Tevere need to be in there but beyond that... it's difficult to see a way forward.

Dragging Colacovski off was a mistake. Pennington was immense. Popovic looked like a baby giraffe. #BRIvPER

I'm not actively hate-watching, but instead, enjoying watching the Perth Glory?

What is this?

#PERvBRI

Has FA done any kind of review into The Championship -- how it worked, didn't work, what could improve it etc.?

My first reaction to Matt Sutton being signed by the Glory: Cool!

My second reaction to Matt Sutton being signed by the Glory: Wait, he's 25 years old? I thought he was 34 or something?

The moment the Glory lose 3-4 in a row, people are going to turn on Adam Griffiths and his entertaining press conferences *so damn quickly* -- so I guess enjoy them now before they become super annoying #aleague

A few recent #Japan highlights

This guy disarming the terrorist at Bondi Beach, Australia, can only be described as hero.

Various #Japan things

In #Koyasan, getting spiritual as heck

Update from #nara: saw at least 15 gaijin calling deer names and generally being mean

Update from Japan: natto is still a yeah nah yeah nah nah

Moustaches give Australian cricketers a mystical power.

English Premier League to introduce spending cap next season Premier League clubs agree to the establishment of spending caps in England's top flight, beginning in the 2026/27 campaign.

No real football league uses a salary cap

Wait, I'm being handed a note...

A headline from the New York Times reading: 'Trump Says House Republicans Should Vote to Release Epstein Files'

I imagine enough time has now been bought to clean the files #epstein

Plur1bus has *the juice*

Bots really must be doing a number -- and I can't help but wonder whether agentic AI is playing a role in any way...

Well cool.

I'm trying to get a ticket for the Ghibli Museum and I've been assigned the 22,084th place in line on mobile, and the 24,013th place in line on desktop.

Cool cool cool.

What is this 'keeping the ball' thing? We don't do that here #PERvCCM

Continuing the weird anachronism that is North Korea and youth women's football, they are set to face the Netherlands in the U17 World Cup Final.

A Netherlands side they spanked 5-0 in the group stage.

Only in truly failed societies is there a trade-off between sustenance and dignity

Platform being pursued by federal police escapes teen social media ban Roblox, Discord and WhatsApp have been excluded from the ban – for now.

The reasoning offered for Roblox not to be included in the social media ban (by the safety commissioner) seems to be inconsistent. It's not a platform primarily about communication, fine, but neither is YouTube? Also, how is Discord and WhatsApp not on the list?

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

It's almost as if the natural consequence of anonymity and power is corrupt behaviour
