Underrated: a mid-morning trip to the cinema.

Grab a coffee, watch a movie, then get lunch and sit with the movie for the rest of the day; and you get to do other stuff with your day

HR specialist 'thought leadership' on LinkedIn is right up there with pestilence, famine, death, and war as a bane on human existence.

What's that? Active support walking out because of a lack of support for their community from the organisation they support?

Must be an America thing.

Over a third of people on sinking Tuvalu seek Australia's climate visas More than one-third of the people in the tiny Pacific nation of Tuvalu, which scientists predict will be submerged by rising seas, have applied for a landmark climate visa to migrate to Australia, according to official figures.

Having a 'climate visa' probably isn't a great sign.

Having more than a third of an entire nation apply for one is probably a bad sign:

Joe clearly taking a gamble with the tactical approach: apart from keeping the ball, the thing teams like Japan do super-well is press high and win the ball back immediately.

Whether this current squad can do that is another matter entirely #AUSvSVN

Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme A 21-year-old tourist has described the horrendous treatment he allegedly received after being denied entry to the USA due to a meme depicting JD Vance as bald being found on his phone

Comedy is now legal in the United States, it appears.

It's just the jokes tend to be a bit...darker, than usual.
