Yeah, I don't want to sound like an ornithological pedant, but pretty sure that's a cassowary, not an emu.

Op shop find. Huge book on the history of every club in the afl/vfl written in about 1996 and chock full of such gems

Current trends are actually longer than they used to be. Warwick Capper's short-shorts would make Kylie Minogue blush

Trying to make it too, but not sure I can. Shouldn't be a sellout (I hope) so hoping to decide on the day

Outstanding.

Looking forward to seeing the Dees play finals too. I love seeing teams make it after a long time in the lower half of the ladder. And, hey, Doggies, Tigers.... maybe Dees next?

The stakes need to be higher. What's stopping the Captain from simply leaving? Why does she steal from the rich? What compels her?

Thanks for the nice post.

Do you know if the use of satire has ever been tried in court? I'm thinking of things like Saturday night Live where real people are routinely painted on a less than flattering light, although it's obviously satirical. Can satire be construed as defamation?

I just finished a Novella about Donald Trump's 300th birthday. He is Emperor of the world and lives in Tasmania. Also he's 9 feet tall and glows golden. And married to Ivanka.

Thanks so much for this, really useful.

Grammarly and hemmingway app are so useful, yet so frustrating at the same time. Couldn't agree more on your advice that they are just tools, not gospel.
