Not talking and just doing — or mindfully declining to do — will be how decent people survive this. They broke it, they bought it. Not your job to clean up their messes. Your job is to make the crack you live in be habitable as you can. There’s always an underground society. That’s us now.

1-1 tie. We scored early. They got a penalty late. Craven saved at least three goals after that.

We looked fantastic. Cardiff were only able to sustain attacks the last 15 minutes or so of each half. Never lost their poise, but we kept them on their back foot all game.

Pontypridd’s nightmare season continues. Gave up 3 goals in the last 6 minutes of the match to lose 3-2 to Barry. Really a shame. Was hoping they’d get one. They’re working their butts off. #AskWxm

Without a doubt. #AskWxm

Pontypridd is up 1-0 over Barry and Swansea is up 2-1 over TNS.

I’d be fine if that’s how the day ends.

Might make her hesitate about coming out to get the ball or not. Which is fine by me. #AskWxm

That was a pretty underwhelming shot from their single best break of the entire match.

Oh darn.

The pace of this match is just insane.

I love it. #AskWxm

Glad this match is exciting because it’s keeping me from launching into a mind-numbing nerd fest on the relationship among white balance, color space, sampling schemes and color perception.

The game is more entertaining. Trust me.

There’s a little tiny girl on the sidelines who wants nothing more than to go out and play with that ball everyone is chasing. #AskWxm

That was amazing! COYR!

Another keeper contemplating poor life decisions. #AskWxm

They’re in north Wales today. They’re playing at Not-The-Rock (which seems to be a nice little ground, so no complaints).

Here we go ladies! So excited! #AskWxm #WrexhamAFCWomen

I’m 62 and have a pacemaker and congestive heart failure. I still think I’m better off than him.

It’s good. Definitely recommend.

I suppose #2 comes closest to my personal opinion, but I was way out of the target demographic when it came out and I hate dumping on things from other people’s childhoods that make them happy.
