The #NinjaAleague posting 15 days of Matildas who scored in the dub is irritating me. What’s the point beyond the social media boost of the word Matildas? Almost none of them are playing this season.

Getting better all the time. The Swiss gambling regulator is now concerned that Fifa's NFTs, which offer a *chance* to buy tickets once you've paid for them, are a form of gambling. And Fifa doesn't have a gambling licence. share.google/pl2VMm5VKqmM...

Please allow @josimarfootball.bsky.social, @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself a minute of self-congratulation. We wrote a total of 39 articles on 777 Partners' house of cards. It was time well spent. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/b...

As an Australian taxpayer, I continue to resent paying the 6-figure salary of the conflict of interest-riddled Special Envoy Jillian Segal

Always remember - The ALP do not need a single vote from an LNP Senator to pass laws.

Mark it in your calendars, God's returning to the dub 🙏

I mean she's basically Australian now so it'd be un-Australian not to!!

A legend continues her REIGN 👑 Marta has reached 𝟏𝟓𝟎 appearances across all competitions for the Pride, the most in club history 📶

Basically, it's not that rare to see rats on football pitches

Disgusting comments from the Deputy Premier just days after kids died from tainted pills. Victoria, NSW and ACT are all exploring pill testing because it’s a proven and safe harm minimisation programme that saves hundreds of young people’s lives.

My new report is out - Adani sold coal at mates rates to India, avoiding $400m in royalty payments to Queensland ...and Qld's LNP gov doesn't seem to care. Thread below on how they did it. Write up in @australia.theguardian.com @australiainstitute.org.au www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Labor Gov, under @stevenjmiles.bsky.social chased Adani for this money. The new LNP government recently abandoned the court action, essentially giving away $400 million worth of coal to Adani. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

'The rat had to be ushered off the pitch by Brennan Johnson.' If you think that the Football Weekly podcast is all about on-point football analysis, you'd be mistaken. @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @alimaxwell.bsky.social

30 years ago today, Lisa is told by her family that she “won’t win friends with salad.” “Lisa the Vegetarian” first aired October 15, 1995.

After an extraordinary 19-year career, Jess Fishlock will retire from the national team following their match vs. Australia this month. Jess retires as Cymru's most capped player, record goalscorer & as the player to score Wales' first-ever goal at a major tournament. Legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐐

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan" So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

Gianni Infantino's latest Instagram post on how FIFA is going to help the Palestinians is only for those with strong stomachs. Infantino appears to be laying the ground to buy off the Palestinian Football Association and get them to drop their complaint against Israel, which has FIFA in a corner.

Linda Reynolds will be remembered for her character, which seems to consist of nothing but distilled, ossified spite.

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well." An estimated 20,000 children have died in the war in Gaza.

"Ooh! Look at me. I'm making people happy. I'm the magical man from Happy Land In a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane."

Because when you burn down a house and nobody ever rebuilds it, someone is still forced to live in the ashes

It looks like Australia is going to be chasing a big target but that's OK as I'll back Litchfield and Sutherland in for tons.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

As I argue in #PlatypusMatters, Australia has the world's best mammals, but is sadly the worst place on Earth to be a mammal, with the planet's worst #extinction rate. The Christmas Island shrew is now the latest species to be officially declared extinct. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump said he planned to take over control of the Scandinavian nation, describing his actions as “a beautiful, very peaceful liberation mission”. theshovel.com.au/2025/10/11/t...

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation. And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

I don't say this to be fatalist, rather to move the conversation on. We're past this point. It's too late. The government has had many opportunities and won't do it. Dismantle corporate capitalism or this the inevitable media future

i'm so serious, give the peace prize to ms rachel www.instagram.com/p/DPosLeoAMYu/

AUS Foreign Minister Penny Wong's fawning praise of Trump is vomitous. No mention by Wong of the billions of dollars of arms provided to Israel by the USA for its genocide in Gaza? Srsly?! This is abhorrent commentary from Wong. 😔 #auspol #USPolitics #NobelPeacePrize #GazaGenocide

If you could dictate to a band a cut-off in terms of songs they could play at a gig what would it be? I wouldn't allow U2 to play anything after Pop or Metallica to play anything after the black album. Conversely is there any band you wouldn't apply restrictions to (for me it'd only be Radiohead).

“Inside, you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king!” “Sideshow Bob Roberts” first aired October 9, 1994. (Clip features a deleted line!)

Israel highlighting how many 100s of aid trucks they will now allow into Gaza is a tacit admission that they were using aid as a weapon of war, by the way. seems weird not to talk about this
