No matter how clear the offence is, or how closely the victim applied best practice, there will always be somebody who thinks they did something wrong anyway.
The car driver is an idiot, but what the cyclist did was not very safe, for this reason.

Seriously, just give kids and young adults free bus passes. Realising at 16/17 I could hop on a bus at the end of my road and go all the way to Merry Hill, or into town or whatever under my own steam was a revelation.
Or make buses free. Whatev.

Just sitting here minding my own business and suddenly I'm humming Stuck by Caro Emerald. I haven't heard it in years. Banger, even for this tired old metal nerd.

Apropos someone asking why it was a .gif in the replies:
Next year the .gif format will be as old as the last spitfire made was when the .gif format was released.

Academia tends towards the spitfire_survivorship_bias.gif meme on multiple levels (not throwing shade here, lots of institutions are like this!), along with more senior types forgetting that lots of high flyers were so-so students once upon a time

If you need the better part of five minutes to check twenty-eight replay angles for possible handball, and one shows it's deflected off her chest and rolled off her arm, having had no effect on the ball's path, I suppose you have to give the penalty to show it wasn't an entire waste of time. #ENGCHI

I think Molumby's just saved Mason's job*. Four subs at half time, after that performance, is only something a manager 45 minutes from the sack does.
* For now.

Wonder whether the Albion tried to be part of the 2035 Women's World Cup bid. If rugby grounds and sheds like the Racecourse can be part of it then surely Shilen should be getting our name in the hat.

I've seen enough now. Mason doesn't know what he's doing. Far too timid and in the time it took him to set us up a man short we've already gone behind from 2-1 up. Anyone who's ever seen Mulumby play knew he'd be a liability.
