The annual cycle of Carlton fan pre-season manic optimism followed by crushing first round defeat is really one of the joys of this game. I say this with no malice; Geelongâs ability to lose unloseable Grand Finals is in the same category: painful to the teamâs fans, a source of glee for all others.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. Itâs time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

If Albo is right that children are obliged to lie in the bed that their mother made, why is he sleeping at the Lodge and not a public housing flat, while the children of the "ISIS brides" must remain in a refugee camp in Syria? Seems a little inconsistent, logically, just saying.
