Happy 1,year anniversary of Izzy Gomez knocking out the Melbourne branch of Abu Dhabi to all who celebrate. A goal that was so good the rest of the season was called off 🤣🤣

Israeli attacks are intensifying in southern Lebanon, with 552 killed since the 'ceasefire' started on April 16.

Tickets for Saturday secured, but as always, Ticketek made it all needlessly complicated. Several times, I was told there weren't enough tickets available, and several times I got the don't have permission error.

Congratulations Angie Beard on 100 games in the dub. May game 102 be in navy blue 😉💙🤍

Dub starting in just over 10 minutes and no stream available on 10Play yet. Such a joke that this continually happens.

Sorry ABC - 8m are not on "income support". My fact check for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Smashing Collingwood is always enjoyable.

Latest example of the documented result of what happens when supposed ‘centre left’ parties go to the right to try and appease conservatives rather than stand for something different - voters go even further rather than stick with the imitators

Glad our season is done. We were absolute shite all season long, and today's game perfectly encapsulated it. We had no midfield. We had two strikers who can score but were stuck on the wings. A LB who isn't a LB. A RB who isn't a RB. No balance at all. Midfield is still shit without Amy 3 years on

If it was me, I'd play Jančevski further up the field next season...

How hard can it be for APL to say what day and time next weekend's GF is? And then just announce the venue after tomorrow's game?

“So then I says to Borg, ‘You know, as long as we’re under siege, one of us oughta moon these Saxon dogs.’”

The Shakira who's doing the World Cup 2026 song, she's not the same Shakira who nicked thr World Cup 2010 song off another band and then kept much of the money that was supposed to go to charity? It's a different one, right? m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

As the awful Shakira teases her awful new World Cup anthem, a reminder than we still don't know what happened to the millions her "Waka Waka" ("borrowed" from a Cameroonian band) was supposed to make for charity. Well, we do, She got a very large part of them.

God creates the animals.

Australians who fight for IDF are free to enter the country with almost no scrutiny after possibly committing war crimes, but some women who married ISIS members and travelled to Syria were arrested once the plane touches down. We asked experts why. www.ettemedia.com/women-isis-c...

Why is it even possible to bet on games involving minors and children as young as...12? Yet legal and illegal platforms offer them. A call to arms - and to action - by Corentin Segalen and Samuel Wahlberg from the Group of Copenhagen for @josimarfootball.bsky.social.

“Wait! Wait! Cancel that. … I guess it says ‘helf.’”

#BREAKING 🚨 Vic premier Jacinta Allan has overturned a Melbourne Arts Precinct decision not to host World Cup public screenings at Fed Square Allan says despite the “risk of bad behaviour from a few dickheads”, the government will “ensure Fed Square has the support it needs”

"In four host cities—Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle—nearly 80% of hoteliers say bookings are behind a typical summer, with many describing the tournament as a “non-event.” In Los Angeles, nearly 65-70% of AHLA respondents report bookings below expectations".

Israeli terrorists committed another massacre, this one in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Palestine. You didn’t hear about because all the reporters were murdered and the west pretends there’s a ceasefire.

In this special episode of We Used To Be Journos, Antoinette unpacks her new book Women Who Win through the lens of media literacy, power and representation.

32 years ago today, was Principal Skinner so out of touch? No, it’s the children who were wrong. #TheSimpsons episode “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” first aired on May 5, 1994.

Even among fascists, this is an extreme clothing brand, because it’s not deniable. And people now feel comfortable wearing it in the middle of Berlin, in a way they didn’t 10 years ago. I can’t describe how serious this is. It’s basically saying “I’d wear a swastika in the street if that was legal“.

Minnesota Aurora, the pre-professional women’s soccer team, has signed its first transgender player. “For me, it’s very important to find an inclusive team, community, organization," Isaac Ranson said.

“And notice, gentlemen, the faster I go, the more Simmons sounds like a motorboat.”

It would surely make things easier if the RBA board just had their self decided role to drive up unemployment made formal with targets and stuff.

Well worth every minute you will spend reading this, and re-reading it.
