^ Anthony Taylor was refereeing the match after all.

That guy has been screwing Chelsea over for years

[What'sinaname]

^ help me out here. The ball came off his thigh and hit his arm. Is that not illegal?

[Jezza]

^ It was a penalty, but not a red card.

[What'sinaname]

ah yes, now I see. If it was intentional, I would suspect it would be a red card...yes?

[Jezza]

^ Yep, that’s right.

The vision coming out of New York. The flooded subway looks like that tour ride at universal studios, just crazy, a top photographer I follow posted a pic of cars that fell into a broken road pit. It looks like any of a million disaster movies, I have to ask, what next?

The Australian government has approved the Identify and Disrupt Bill 2021, which has been labelled 'unprecedented' and 'extraordinarily intrusive'.

The legislation gives Australian Federal Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission new powers to take control of people's social media accounts without the need for a judge's warrant.

They will be able to modify or delete the data of suspected offenders, collect intelligence on criminal networks, and take control of a suspected offenders' online account.

With lockdowns, we are in 1984

Unfortunately they need every tool in the box when going after terrorists and pedos. When they caught an Adelaide Pedo who was administrator of a child porn site called the love zone they tracked him by scouring forums and found him also ona 4WD site and got a photo of his car and tracked the number plate. The federal coppers got a warrant and arrested him and he was logged on to his his jiddy porn porn site so the police made a decision not to shut it it down but used it to track, worldwide, other mongrels and 100s if not thosands were caught worlldwide. So it has already happened. They are not going after you for having an affair with the bosses wife.

WTF is wrong with people...

Sloane Stephens sent over 2,000 ‘horrific’ messages after US Open loss

Seriously some people are pathetic.
Same with those who sent vile messages to Toby Greene (AFL) and Latrell Mitchell (NRL) (and to family members) after their respective match incidents and subsequent bans. I am not a big fan of either player but nobody deserves that sort of crap.

Agreed,DB. WTF is wrong with those people, threatening to break the legs of an athlete who just lost is bizzare and fkn wrong.

Anyway, my WTF is much more local and less important. Yesterday arvo I was bored so I went to Costco. Driving down Childs Rd Epping there was a massive queue of cars to go the the 4cyte Pathology Covid testing site. That was the place I got tested when I came back to Vic on News Years day after the numbnuts here slammed the border shut and the state run covid testing joints were beseiged.

But now, the state run places are quiet as. It's quick and easy to get tested, I smell a rat. maybe a couple of them.

Rat 1, if you get tested at a state run site, the government knows your result. If you get tested at a private pathology place, the result goes to the GP who referred you. I don't know if there's mandatory reporting requirements or not, but it's the only reason I can think why people wpuld spend hours queued up to get tested at a private place when they could be in and out in 15 minutes at a government run one.

Rat 2, there's clearly money to be made in Covid testing. 4Cyte has opened a new drivethrough site near here in what was a car yard. They'll get to bill the Federal Government under Medicare for each test done and, since you need a GP referral to get any test at a pathology joint, if you don't have one they'll arrange that too according to their website, and bill the government for that too.
