Well at least we can all agree that they’re both the worst. 

Puerto Rico shouldn’t be talking about statehood until they get some people that really know what they’re doing.

Trump wants a lot of shit; Trump wanted to retain a House majority, too.  I want a fucking pony.  Ain’t gonna happen.

There is no possibility Trump actually read a Wall Street Journal article. I don’t believe he could get past the font of the front page headline without falling asleep.

Is anyone surprised that Trump doesn’t understand paying off debt. 

It is true that for many Americans, Australia feels like a subtly bizarre, abnormally laid-back alternate universe where toilet water spins backwards,* most people are white and everyone else is Asian, everyone spends most of their time doing fun outdoorsy stuff, and every few years another celebrity tribute is…

Yeah, this is weird. Especially since, aside from a couple of weeks of coverage, people weren’t that panicked. I got a lot of snapchats of people eating strawberries and joking about being brave/playing Russian roulette, but no one I know stopped buying them (and many people bought more of them to support the farmers).

After months of panic

In the US, Woolworth’s is so old and gone, the internet wasn’t the cause of its demise; shopping malls were.

We’ve got enough tragic stories of our own! Give us the real weird shit. 

The supermarket industry in Australia is dominated by two companies, Coles and Woolworths, they’re huge.

There are still Woolworths in existence?!?

Thank you. I cannot believe I’m getting pushback on thinking that it’s crazy for a kid to put needles in fucking strawberries. 

Honest to God, Australia is covered so infrequently and haphazardly by US media, it's always weird to see which stories you end up covering. There was a suspected terror attack in a popular mall in Melbourne last week. Just saying.

Right? This had to be an older kid too. It’s not like a five year old has access to needles, the forethought to carry them to the store, and then the follow through of putting them into fruit.

Children do stupid things but that doesn’t mean they should be excused for doing horrific shit like this. I would never have done something like this as a kid.

At least once, the culprit was a child who admitted to playing a prank
