This is something to keep an eye on because while I guess it may be debatable whether Iran’s the first to move its capital due to environmental degradation (I’m pretty confident it isn’t) it almost certainly won’t be the last

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.

so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

Yeah, kinda disappointing the captains, umpires and ground staff couldn’t turn around and say “let’s play three, shall we?”
Alternatively go full early 1970s and play an ODI today…
Those two days of cricket on Friday and Saturday were so good. I reckon someone should invent a format that goes for something like 4 or 5 days. That’d be ace. #Ashes

This entire test is just a fever dream and I’m going to wake up and find it’s still Thursday night and none of this happened, right? #TheAshes

Someone really needs to release a “cricket field expressions of Marnus Labuschagne” calendar.

You need to produce an emergency chapter of the 50 ridiculous Ashes moments just from this test

England's two innings in Perth lasted a combined 405 balls - the fastest they've been bowled out twice in a Test match since 1904 😳

And the pitch isn't even a howler? Right? I know Perth is historically a fast bowler's joint, but this hasn't been unplayable

England batting in both innings for a total of 6 7 overs (and three balls) to try and engage with the kids.

I love the idea that any of this manic lunacy can be described as a stirring comeback.

A first over of an innings that wasn’t a wicket maiden? Crazy. #Ashes 🏏

Disappointing that Head forgot we were shooting for four innings where the first wicket fell without scoring. Frankly disappointed they didn’t open with Boland or Doggett just to complete the bit #TheAshes

Travis Head? Ooh now that’s gutsy #TheAshes

Have to say I’m impressed by anyone making a prediction about the result of this match, as if anyone has any idea what’s going to happen. #TheCricket

Brydon Carse’s batting is the vibe.

It’s like a punk band that can’t play their instruments great but you don’t care.

England bat 67.3 overs across two innings, and are probably in pole position in this test match. Wild

As a one time local I’d recommend any of these except Rottnest Island (but only because it’s Schoolies this coming week)
- Rottnest Island: hire a bike and cycle around, making friends with the quokkas
- Fremantle: nice waterfront, maritime museum and historic prison
- Aquarium of Western Australia at Sorrento (can combine with some beach time)
- Perth Zoo
- Kings Park
- Elizabeth Quay playground and water park
