All that GYG caesar salad ad makes me want to do is never shop there again. Who in marketing let old mate front that ad?

2-2 between Brisbane Roar and Qld. Second half was fun. Some Sunny Franco dark arts leading to a good finish from Withers, and a mistake gifting Qld a shot but a great finish nonethless Sharn with a tidy finish from a nice cross and new import Jansen with a really good industrious goal on the break.

Predictably first preseason game performance from Brisbane against Qld in the first half. A bunch of rotations already. No Yallop, Varley, Cuthbert. Momo as centre back. Not sure we'll be able to garner heaps from this, but some good passages from both teams in a typically disjointed affair.

"[Covering Robodebt] radicalised me in a weird way that I hadn't expected," he says. "It's like I saw the world the way it was for the first time in my life”

“Morton admits writing it "sent me mad"; he stopped seeing his friends and felt angry all the time.”

You know the cold weather is over and on to hot times when you get the faint whiff of dead things when you step outside.

This commentary... If the score had been the other way around it would be sickening. #AFLGF

I thought I had waited long enough to turn the AFL on to miss the crap coverage. But nup, saw that grand final ball cringe fest. #AFLGF

Shot put is so weird.

Watching men's sport and forever being turned off by their all too regular fuckwit energy

Luke, not a great final tribal performer. Feels like that's that then. Was hoping for a more compelling fight. #survivorau

Janine wasn't winning anyway. Especially cos she won't be able to claim all the moves if Luke is at FT, giving Luke the chance is reading the room that a millionaire betrayal seems like ego and petty. Especially since Luke is similar to Cirie in attempts, but don't want either gone. #survivorau

When they said fan favourite, I think they were mainly talking about me

I see the WNBL are trying to get another Brisbane team up. Think they actively tried a few years ago too but nothing came of it. Hopefully they have some success this time, I'd sign up as a member!

There is some weirder than usual editing in this episode #SurvivorAU

Listening to podcasts and hearing the way Americans pronounce niche is always a surprise.

#BREAKING 🚨 An earthquake – currently estimated at around magnitude 5.2 – has struck near Kingaroy and been felt throughout south-east Queensland, including Brisbane The BOM says there is NO tsunami threat to Australia

I think there was just an earthquake in Brisbane!

The only saving grace is that Callum is able to be more gracious in defeat than Laura ever would have. #masterchefau

Ok, so Netflix version of Copycat edited out the tiny bit where Helen doesn't want him dead at the end.

Peak signifier of wealth and cool in 90s 2000s movies - a beautiful stereo system. Especially one that played CDs vertically. Watching Copycat and there's one. Also remember About a Boy having one too. One of my fav presents from my parents as a teen was a 7 stack cd player. SEVEN!

I get sick of being told “well, we have to take their concerns seriously.” No we don’t! Their concerns are completely made up! We shouldn’t even gesture at maybe taking them seriously, especially when what they want is to take rights away from someone!

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but it really looks like the AFL's approach to women's sport is commercially predatory, like most of their actions against other sports, even though supposedly NFP.

this is one of the widest gulfs between popular sentiment and establishment policy i have ever seen in this country

It's not a fucking war ABCNEWS24. It's one side slaughtering another.

Stumbled on the channel 9 report on the Sydney march for humanity. What a bootlicky report focussed on police perspective. Ridiculously so.

"But my audience is there." "Sir, your audience is not real." "How dare you?"

No we're not. There is nothing forcing anyone to use, contribute to, rely on or in any way support a right-wing social media site that uses a language model to firehose lies out into the public sphere. We're actively volunteering to fuck ourselves maybe, but we're not unavoidably fucked.

Ooft quite a correction

Ah Meta AI... Yes, but no I won't be doing that.

But also, best venue draw for group A.

Guess I'll be doing the red eye!

Ugh I don't want to stay in Perth then have to get to the Gold Coast to watch Japan 🫠 Plus... *If* Aus and Japan both top, on track for SF instead of final. Maybe coming second but so bad. #WAC2026

The Matildas will be playing the Philippines, IR Iran and South Korea at the 2026 Asian Cup. #WAC2026

Now I want Japan in Group B so I see more of them.

Oh well, don't mind a tough group... Gotta be frosty from the beginning.

Tameka! Dammit!

The dignitary listing at these things is always tedious. Does your ego really need to get named every time? #wac2026

I think Spain would’ve won if they would’ve just kicked it into the goal

wow wow wow wow wow the pens at this tournament are truly… something and mostly something not good lmao

Welp, Spain only got yourselves to blame for that.

Wtf?!

Thanks, I hate this.

What is Harps doing covering the Euros?

Being kind, I'm going to assume this is an attempt at a pisstake. But even giving that benefit, as a pisstake it is a bland one... which is on brand I guess.

Finally Bronze gets a yellow, for probably the least of her bad tackles this tournament.
