You know how there’s a real trend towards 80’s style pop music over the last few years…

How far can they take that?

Can we get hair metal and safety dance style stuff back?

“Stocks up: Leticia McKenna found the back of the net for City's lone goal of the game and had a good day out despite the final result. McKenna's three shots for the day were all on target. She also produced four crosses and two tackles.”

Cap. Her. Joe.

Hayashi’s double helped Brisbane to second on the #ALW table and sunk Sydney FC to the bottom.

The hosts didn’t get the new manager bounce, but there were signs of hope for the post-Ante era

If all the other shit isn’t enough to make people reconsider WCup travel plans, this should.

You’re gonna end up quarantined when you come home

Gonna be harsh here, she’s not the only one playing badly but if Tash Prior is in the Matildas squad I’ll be very confused

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.

Genuinely bizarre.
