For those who follow Rugby: well done Brumbies. As a Tahs fan, that's an impressive performance.

Crusaders: you got almost every decision your way including a very clear red card being reviewed to yellow. You cheated your best, but it wasn't cheaty enough.

We're told to use AI at work. If I weren't three years from retirement, I'd be looking for a new job. Instead I've decided to use it as much as possible to drive the cost up and the code quality down. It's not as if I care if the shit shop goes under once I'm out.

Great memory for all involved.
There's nothing quite like turning up for a 4th division suburban match here in Sydney, being asked to switch to tighthead prop, and finding out you're up against RWC91 winner Tony Daly.

I might actually become religious if there's a divine power that can save me from "Ice Breakers" at the start of meetings.
You've never understood just how cool you are until one of these is run by an IT person. Legit.

A large dessert resembling the Egyptian pyramids sits in a sandy desert landscape; mountains are visible in the background, and a palm tree stands to the left. The word "PIRAMISU" is printed in white capital letters below the dessert.

Accidentally searched Piramisu. Was not disappointed.

Photo of Angus Taylor and Jane Hume at the Centre for Independent Studies that might be possibly the whitest two people ever captured together on camera at the whitest gathering of people ever assembled. Their smiles suggest they are either about to sell you some dodgy time-share or are to ask you whether you have hear the good news of this cult they have just joined.

Looking on from Australia, I agree. I think your situation and ours are remarkably similar: neither side wants to hold the other to account too closely, because they know the pact they signed - political class above all else - and how many skeletons they *all* have in the closet

Agreed. For those affected: smile and take the payout, then wait. Ask for 20% more when they come crawling back

An entire world view built on a zero-sum game will convince you that the rise of any "other" is at your expense.
Speaking as an Aussie, we're not immune from this and have political and media outlets who like "othering" as a standard.
Also speaking as an Australian, we call these people "fuckwits".
