2025 has been the worst year of my life. Started off well at Sydney Harbour but my wife getting diagnosed with Cancer and me losing my job made it a horrible year. Good riddance 2025. At least one thing is looking up for 2026 but I can’t talk publicly about it.

If you walk around a museum with a phone's AI on blasting out you deserve to have people and AI making fun of you. Also I hope they kick out anyone that does this.

It's an incredible goal. Couldn't get the win but a great goal and a great road point
Can't stop watching the Leeds goal from yesterday. One the best team goals you'll ever see and the kind of goal that only a confident and well-drilled team could score.

I suspect we won't see a USL CBA deal before it expires on Wednesday night but it's sounding like not an immediate lockout, which will buy some time at least. #USL

This is an odd choice given St. Nicholas isn't from an EU member so wouldn't have this document making it so easy.
Ever wonder how Santa delivers gifts so fast across Europe?
It's thanks to the EU customs union and Schengen!
With no customs checks between EU countries, Santa’s sleigh keeps moving smoothly from one stop to the next: no delays, no paperwork 🇪🇺🎁
