4 year old stallion Anthony Van Dyck was killed after a catastrophic injury in today's #MelbourneCup, the same injury responsible for nearly 57% of on-track deaths recorded during the 2019-20 racing year.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gwinnett County Police Department as they mourn the loss of one of their own, K9 Blue. K9 Blue was shot in the head and chest by the wanted felon he was tracking earlier today. Please keep Blue's family and the department in your prayers.

The misogyny of the Karen meme disturbs me, too. ‘The Karen meme has become a way of not just describing women’s behaviour, but controlling it. No wonder so many men enjoy it.’ https://t.co/5C337EFwVV
“Why is 20 patrons still safe but 50 isn‘t, when the Bunnings across the road from us is chock-a-block?” Well said, @franzmadlener. It’s very wrong. https://t.co/N47A1vkMvn
“Our hospitality and retail venues have worked hard to create a safe environment for customers and our own team. We now want to get on with the job of creating jobs and occasions where Australians can get back together and share a meal and drink safely and responsibly"
