To boldly go where no tram has gone before!
I asked the local shoe store to match this deal and they were quite happy to sell me two shoes for the price of one.

17,000 Boeing workers have been shown the door.

None of them knew how to fit it.

Just before midnight and the temperature has climbed to the maximum for the (calendar) day
Given 1800 numbers are 10 digits, I’m shocked … shocked, I tell you … that 1800WOWSER was available for this company 😃

7News Sydney ending with a packaged segment in tribute to the work of their journalists…

Hoping their audience don’t watch Four Corners or do their own research, I guess.

From the excellent Garbage Day newsletter. X (Twitter) is a cesspool and not surprisingly its users are fleeing. I'm one. Ironically, as it becomes more and more extreme it becomes less influential.

"X has lost 18% of its user base since last year, 23% since Musk bought the site, and it’s not growing anymore.

The site is totally stagnant."
