After Venezuela beat the fucking US in baseball for the tiniest shred of poetic justice, the President posted that it should become a US state. This is quite literally the most unhinged and depraved instance of sore-loserhood in the history of sports. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

it sure seems like Israel is actively escalating the war in the hopes of drawing an Iranian response that can force Trump to escalate in return

Can't wait for this. I'll be wearing my 7-0 t-shirt courtesy of @munkfc.bsky.social. Plus, get to hang out with the always great Nix fans.

30 years ago today, we first met Chester J. Lampwick, although it wasn’t the first time Grampa Simpson or Krusty the Clown met him. #TheSimpsons episode “The Day the Violence Died” first aired March 17, 1996.

Press pack journos with access to the PM, you need to be asking him about Lebanon, otherwise you look complicit and stupid. A million Lebanese displaced by the IDF. There are a quarter million Lebanese Aussies. What are @albomp.bsky.social's thoughts on the Zionist carpet bombing of Beirut??

29 years ago today, March 16, 1997, #TheSimpsons episode “Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment” first aired on Fox.

Testing whether or not animals “kiss.”

Once again, Trump uses the language of sexual assault. It's what he knows.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

“Oh, brother! … Not hamsters again!”

“Well, I’m not sure. … I guess it’s been washed.”

I want to say a few drinks and some lube, but I may have misunderstood the question

“Listen—I bought these here yesterday, and the dang things won’t stop squeaking!”

"Open the Strait of Hormuz. You may not receive the help of any other sovereign nation. Fastest wins."

Quite possibly the biggest #Oscars  upset in history.

Yes. The real victim of Robodebt was *checks notes* Scott Morrison...

HERE IT IS: Earlier this month, without any planning, I drove 6 hrs to the desert to capture the last full lunar eclipse until December 2028 Over 3 hours I shot over 3000 stills, but not the stars Last Tuesday I drove 4 hrs to capture the stars After 30+ hrs figuring out editing, this is DONE 🧵

In the 2021 census, there were 248,430 Lebanese Australians and around 110k Jewish Australians. Israel is bombing Beirut. A million Lebanese have been displaced. With contempt to local demographics (not to mention basic morality), the ALP is backing Israel’s genocidal expansion

If ESS get to April 17th without collecting the 4 points in any game, they will achieve parity between days since winning an #AFL final and hours since winning an #AFL game

The global energy crisis will enable oil and gas companies to make huge profits, which we won’t benefit from because our main fossil fuel tax, the PRRT, is so poorly designed.

Australian state and federal governments provided $16.3 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and major users in 2025-26, according to new research from The Australia Institute”. This is a pretty screwed up way up address climate change, @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Tillies fans in Melbourne the best place in Melbourne to watch tomorrow’s big game is the W-Club! 💚💛

Have always loved Emma and finally got round to showing it. Added bonus found out her father is from the Netherlands so high chance there's a Robera Dutch kit in my future 🧡💚🖤

And so it went, night after night, year after year. In fact, the Hansens had been in a living hell ever since that fateful day the neighbor’s “For Sale” sign had come down and a family of howler monkeys had moved in.

Time to re-up this from Women's Euros 2022. There are so many things that Popp does so well that make her and excellent goalscorer. Here are six steps to being a Popp-star! open.substack.com/pub/dribbles...

“We’ve made it, Warren! … The moon!”

The Matildas are going to Brasil! We’re going to Brasil! 💚💛

“The wench, you idiot! Bring me the wench!”

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network “Advance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US. This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.

A kind of advertising that has all but disappeared. And thank you, @gralefrit.bsky.social, for making this appear in my TL.

Beer drinkers pay more tax than gas giants, despite gas 5x the sales, but Uniparty votes down Senate inquiry call by Greens, indis and PHON. That's donations for yous #whatsthescam @kimwingerei.bsky.social #auspol michaelwest.com.au/hold-my-beer...

Thanks to idiotic scheduling from the APL, tonight is the only one of the quarter finals I'll see.

I find it impossible to listen to B52's Love Shack without singing Homer's alternate lyrics
