Even if it is factionalism, though, digging in like this is a poor look—it is wiser to be graceful publicly in taking leave while the investigation runs its course—and his explanation of "feels on wheels" seems so workshopped. I've only ever seen it used to refer to rumours of impropriety

For the avoidance of doubt, I would like to denounce the following: - The Whig view of history - Tranz Rail - Alfred Domett's govt of 1862–63 - Using "impact" to mean "affect" - 20-min frequencies on the Upfield line - The purported south side of Melbourne - That pole in the Corner Hotel bandroom

one of the great benefits of growing up in India that I didn't even realise till I left was that you get so used to people being loud in public that someone playing a Tiktok without headphones doesn't even register, knowing to block out other ppls sounds is just Life Around Others 101 in South Asia
