How to tell if you are too much online ( or have a teenager).
All these words seem rather old.

the screams were actually us from the future
We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

OK, who is spying on me?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Really missing parent tonight.
There would have been a lot of phone calls the past two days talking about the cricket.
Gentle ribbing of the son-in-law during the calls.

The memories are good, but they still sting.

The wrong timeline

Pitching a horror story in which an England cricket fan goes to sleep while England are winning and wakes up to find out they... didn't stack it and won the test. Said fan immediately knows something is very, very wrong with reality...

I know nothing about cricket btw

England.
Always the team to follow when you want to see someone snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Losing the same day you were 100 ahead at lunch with 9 wickets in hand takes some doing #Ashes #AUSvENG

Good batting, and raining a bit.
A good decision to skip the outdoor gig.
Hmm, was thinking of heading into the city to see a free gig tonight.
But will stay at home with the cricket.
Don't make me regret this boys.

OK, if it takes that long for a DRS, surely it should be not out?
I always grew up with the batsman being given the benefit of the doubt.

Me too, tiny human.
Me too
🧵Spotted at an A&P Show in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human (2?) has spotted a pen of puppies.
Studying them for a long moment, she bursts into tears.
Dad asks what's wrong and looking up at him in abject anguish she wails: "I WANT TO PAT THEM ALL!" (1)

Amazing catch.

Meanwhile, what have Ch 7 done with the duck?
