I had the same observation going from Australia to Argentina. For the first time in my life I saw men investing in their friendships - and holding each other to account was part of that. I’ve also seen men from NZ do the same, but that’s the only Anglo country I’ve seen it in.

There's an implicit assumption that winning is integral to playing and enjoying sports, but statistically there are always going to be fewer winners - so if that's your only motivation for doing sports then I suggest you go and find a hobby/career with better odds.

I keep thinking about Subway sandwich guy and how sometimes, when the law is being an ass, it's convenient to have a way to make that go away.
Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't harms in the other direction too - sexual assault cases being the most extreme example.

One year there was a competition to find the most expired tube of medicine in your parents' medicine cabinet. A real community moment.

For those of us who were following the story 5 years ago, it seems incredible - but not surprising - that they haven’t used this time to get ahead of the story. Maybe this time around some corrupt men will lose their jobs?

I saw an Israeli acquaintance re-posting an Italian far-right post about how everyone should wrap themselves in their country's flag, apparently unaware of what has happened to Jewish communities in Europe when people start wrapping themselves in the flag. Mainstream Israeli media is baaaaaad.

Once I was driving and I saw a kangaroo crossing a paddock towards me so I slowed to a complete stop. The kangaroo, having the vast expanse of Australia at its disposal, hit my car and broke the wing mirror off.
