Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

Forever getting the ick from the - just a bit too much - women's footballer personal life stans.

A major healthcare policy paper commissioned by @govnl.bsky.social government from Deloitte at a cost of $1.6 million, cites research papers that don’t exist, making it the second major government policy paper called into question in as many months. #nlpoli #AI theindependent.ca/news/lji/maj...

Musings on movies- Missing the light entertainment theatre release movie that got big and sits in our minds. Maybe the streaming replacement will be the same long term, but feels like anything equivalent fades quickly from the mind, regardless of quality. Quite possible I'm just being old.

I see many draws but no Wellington victories aleaguestats.com/WLeague/A-Le...

Hearing sirens and weird noises on the broadcast and not sure if it's tv or real #WELvMVC

“There’s no money in journalism anymore. No fame, no glamour, no prestige. But there’s lots and lots of money in media—in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers” www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

Despite general commentary *everywhere*, Heyman can do wrong. Correct foul called.

Just switched on the cricket and thought it was David Boon out there.

Welp, Premiership and Championship got. Coach Maj in! #FM26

Games on Sunday when you lose are the worst. If Sunday arvo, work on Monday blues weren't enough 😮‍💨

My lord... how do I make them SHOOOT FARKIN BETTER?!

I expect better from you, Dub.

Okay, not sure if I'm going to like it, but I'm giving Football Manager a go. If only to play Dub!

Just got a glimpse of Halo and the discourse. Yuk. Seems deliberate in its grossness, like it's being set up as an excuse to NOT do better coverage after it fails.

Not much more frustrating than a shot over the cross bar from the middle of the box. #ADLvCBR

Good to see Fenton back and about. #ADLvSYD

I like Polias (and Gill who does this too) on comms, but the "no intent" comments after hard tackles irks me. Feels like a knee jerk reaction to soften the impact of physical play to protect some kind of odd purity of women's football culture or something. Just call a hard tackle a hard tackle.

Enjoying the Australian Ghosts. I liked both the original UK and remake US version as well. Can see how it's a premise that if they let it mould to local context makes it more relocatable than most tv shows.

A grinding win. Good to get points when the other team had lots of chances and momentum at time. Lots to work on but big happy with three points! #PERvBRI

Honestly dude... A minute for each goal then three more for the sitting cramp and other... Seems fair. I get Perth game, pro Perth commentator... Would love to see the same for Brisbane home games but we never get that. #PERvBRI

Ha, look... Varley sits when she wants, she sits when she wants. Leia Varley she sits when she wants.

Getting annoyed by this Lincoln narrative in commentary She plays high which is how *teams* want to set up. Can she get caught out? Yeah, especially if team mates don't take care of the ball Think she's generally a good shot stopper, & confident on corners/crosses. Plus good distribution #PERvBRI

Soooo, this game has gone from being a grind to feeling a bit chaotic #PERvBRI

Yes yes, I will gobble up an ugly goal. #PERvBRI

Yeeeeeessss!!! Far out that felt hard but some Sharn determination and Bente being in the right spot. #PERvBRI

Watching these long range shots from Perth just makes me yearn for Momo. #PERvBRI

Loving the camera work highlighting Leah Varley’s socks #PERvBRI #ALW

Brisbane being their own worst enemies at the moment. Gotta actually make those passes in defence. #PEEvBRI

Ah bum. But that was a nice turn and goal. #PERvBRI

Yes I yelled shooOOOt and yeah she did! Go Grace! #PERvBRI

As Peter Van Onselen would say ‘the future of the Liberal Party’. Identical private school white guys. The way it has to be. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

I dunno, you go into someone's ankle even if you get a slight touch on ball.. pen? Would be interested to hear any ref opinions. #CBRvNEW

Post Western hibernation, will be interesting to see the impact of their players in other trams. Prakash already looking key for Mariners. Thinking on my own team... I reckon Amy Medwin is shaping up to be a solid pickup for the Roar. (Not counting Lincoln cos think that was an earlier deal).

Not gelling at the moment though! Think this is going to be a really fun season.

Oh Gomez... Was that outside of the boot too?

Keeping this on my wall.

Adelaide have quite the squad

Top tip, if you're squeezing your game in around storm cells full of thunder & lightning. While also having a moments silence for someone who lost their life due to be struck by lightning..... Maybe you need to realign your values #ALW #BRIvMVC

A long lightning filled day but worth it in the end with three magnificent points! Plus no hail hurting the car and managed to get home between storms (missed the last re-start, thankfully did not concede)

Surprised they made it to this long. This is just after 3-2 #ninjaaleague #brivmvc

Back to winter seasons so I don't have to worry about storm logistics when trying to support my team 🙃

Steph Catley isn't underrated by anyone but the dickhead mainstream media who don't give a shit about women's football anyway.

I hate injuries in friendlies. I mean, I hate injuries at any time, but yuk.

And that was completely pointless to risk doing in a friendly... 🫠

Holy f-ing hail stones

Bad, legit scary lightning ⚡

Feels like 10 years of happiness credits were expended on that shootout.
