The structure of wrists mean we have the capacity to do both handstands and neurosurgery. A lot can go wrong

It’s a bad time of year for wrists. Parents – and sometimes grandparents – full of enthusiasm and holiday cheer hop on their child’s new scooter or bike, keen to show said child how great the new toy is, and forget that gravity isn’t as kind to the body when we’re older. Falls happen, and wrists often take the brunt.

“It’s got its own name: ‘fall on an outstretched hand’,” says Brigette Evans, an occupational therapist at Bathurst Hand Therapy. As we fall, our instinct is to put our arms out in front of us to protect our body, face and head, and the wrist takes a lot of that force.

After four shark attacks in New South Wales in less than 48 hours, authorities on Tuesday urged beachgoers “just go to a local pool instead”.

Sydneysiders have heard similar warnings before – in the past, they’ve been issued for beaches polluted with faecal matter after heavy rains.

When 2023 rolled around, I was ready for a change. I’d spent the Covid years locked down in Victoria, Canada. I had quit my day job at the end of 2019 to write full-time and travel, only for the world to shut down.

During those long, lonely years, I kept myself distracted by playing an online game. Nothing fancy, just a phone game about surviving a zombie apocalypse. It was a bit of fun and a way to connect with people from around the world. One of those people was a fellow named Craig.

There was Wendy, Holly, Josie … I forget the others. We lived in London, but also had a 25-acre farm out in Somerset with a Georgian farmhouse that was built in 1750. A guy from the British Beekeeping Association, who worked at the local church, would come over and help me open up my hives and harvest the honey. It was crazy how much honey we got – up to 150 jars a season. It was the best honey I’ve ever tasted.

• Trump tells New York Post he will skip Super Bowl

• NFL stands by Bad Bunny amid rightwing backlash

Donald Trump said he will not attend next month’s Super Bowl in northern California, citing the distance to the game, amid an ongoing culture-war backlash over the NFL’s choice of half-time and pre-game performers.

Trump told the New York Post he plans to skip the 8 February championship game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara because the trip is “just too far away”, adding that he would have considered attending if it were a shorter flight. The decision means Trump will not repeat his appearance at last year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, where he became the first sitting US president to attend the NFL’s showcase event.

Drummer Budgie “Dit is een van de meer existentiële nummers op ‘Los Angeles’. Het is een hommage aan Koyaanisqatsi van Philip Glass, Ron Fricke en Godfrey Reggio, met tekst van Isaac Brock””.
Producer Jacknife:  “Het nummer is absurd. Het geluid is absurd. En het gaat over insecten.”

Drummer Budgie, bassist Steven Severin (beiden van de in 2002 defintief gestopte Siouxsie and the Banshees), Lol Tolhurst (tot 1985 toetsenist bij The Cure) en Isaac Brock (leadzanger/gitarist bij Modest Mouse) gaan olijk te keer in ‘We got to move’.

Maar hoezo hommage aan Koyaanisqatsi? En waar zijn die insecten? Misschien in het in de tekst bezongen matras?

Ik kom er niet uit. Kunt u het voor ons duiden?
