"Meanwhile, a mysterious object found in Western Australia had the Reddit community playing cosmic detectives. The Sydney Harbour Bridge turned into a kaleidoscope of colour for World Pride. Eurovision fever spread to Australia, with Voyager nabbing a Top 10 spot while stopping by for an AMA. Hello again Myf Warhust!
"And let's not forget the pop culture twist: the financial status of Bluey’s parents that sparked fervent debate and then the meme magic."
