    I feel Norths are trying to steal our draft picks

    I'd celebrate, but it's only North Melbourne.

    If Bon Scott hadn't removed himself with drink and drugs we probably wouldn't have known Brian Johnson

    Sounds like someone needs more Geordie in their life….

    @antipodean said in Hubris:

    This popped up in my YT feed. Amusing and quite frankly alarming as I haven't trained since prepping to go to France last year.

    Doc says another week and the internal stitches should be dissolving so I can start training again. I already know it will be worse than the above video and certainly not as funny. Perhaps once you get over 50 there's such a thing as muscle amnesia?

    That was pretty cool, I liked his honesty and humbleness. I’m shocked he only managed FOUR dips though !

    You really do have to use it or lose it especially as the time passes.

    Thank goodness I have a garage gym ( which is also a garage bar but only when I’ve done said gym work )

    The issue it had is the same, but the opposite direction. Lefties used to get recommendations / for you of other lefties. And that’s what they liked, as they were close minded to other views.

    Now they get a selection it’s a “right wing” platform.

    So the left used to dislike it as it was clear where Twitter allegiances lied. Now with Musk owning it, the view is that it’s a right wing platform as that’s where his allegiances lie.

    The truth is that real truth seekers shoukd read a variety of opinions, which I believe is what Musk is trying to do. However, his posts are so anti woke, it’s easy to disagree with that …

    Personally I think most who leave will come back, as they realize they were addicted to getting upset at things on Twitter.

    Looks like these had broken again. There was a small change to the instagram urls so I had to update the pattern matching.

    Should be good now. No idea how long it was broken

    [Edit] Actually there seem to be a couple of different urls styles now. So not every embed was broken. It works for both styles now
