Australians call us whinging poms, but my word the Australian #rugby team certainly put a lot of energy into whining to the ref (even without Nic white on the pitch)

Everyone compares #GithubCopilot to a junior dev. I think it is more like a senior engineer who has given up on life.
Moments of absolute brilliance followed by moments of apathy and lothing "I have no idea why I used that variable there, let me see if I can be bothered to correct it properly"

I take it someone has told the Europe #RyderCup team they have to to lose or we all end up poor because of additional, unrelated and not spiteful at all, tariff hikes...

Advertising exec: Picture this - a girl gets out of a car and traps her skirt, but instead of just opening the door she fights hard and rips it out
Most people: That sounds dumb
Tesco: Perfect - that encapsulates out brand perfectly

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I would love to know what is needed as evidence for a crash landing if the plane being upside down only "appears to have crash landed" (I hope everyone involved recovers quickly)

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

On a train, someone asks to take the seat next to you. You stand up to allow them in. The person behind, having watched this, feels it is acceptable to step forward, stopping you returning to your seat. Then walks at you expecting you to make room for them to pass.
What is the correct response?

Never criticise a #rugby ref. But you have to be consistent - if you say "next player to push goes off", you do it. Leaving him on field, leading to a try (and not even reviewing the mighty close forward pass) is not great.

I don't understand why they are allowed to lie and not be held to account in any meaningful way.
It's been going on for years, things that are demonstrably false are just waved through. Don't let them carry on when they lie.
Stop.
Tell them they are lying.
Don't move on.
Demand the truth.
