It’s strange how much joy I am extracting from having both @redbullracing cars out in Q2 in the #SingaporeGP

I’m currently catching up on #HouseOfTheDragon, but also spending some unexpected time with my elderly mother, so we are watching #TheCrown together. Suddenly @mattsmith_dw has become unexpectedly and somewhat disturbingly central to my life.

@robbdogg_ @SennettReport @goganbunch @Super70sSports They were very big, for a small demographic for a short period of time, and I was part of that demographic. Just compare some of their record sales to Nirvana or Soundgarden during the same time. They are not even in the same ballpark, let alone playing the same sport.

@robbdogg_ @SennettReport @goganbunch @Super70sSports I saw Everclear live in Australia in January. And I couldn’t figure out why they were playing in such a shitty venue, in my mind they are a huge 90s band. But after some Googling, the truth is that they are not.

@PRGuy17 Maybe just a #racistpotato

Hey @SBSOnDemand #couchpeloton what’s the deal with your Flander’s classics replays? You’re replay of Gent-Wevelgem stops about 30 minutes before the end. Your Men’s Ronde coverage cuts out at 3h15m when streaming on TelstraTV, but streaming on Chrome runs 6h54m

[Craig S. Dickson @craigsdickson]

@Telstra Why do I know have to pay 2 separate bills each month from Telstra? Are your store associates really not allowed to take feedback from customers? If so, why? Seriously, why???

[Craig S. Dickson @craigsdickson]

The diabolically shit level of customer service from @Telstra never fails to underwhelm. When I let the assistant know in the store I was not satisfied, she straight face informed me she wasn’t authorised to take feedback from customers. WTAF?

[Craig S. Dickson @craigsdickson]

@Telstra Why did I have to create a whole new login to the Telstra app to do this? Why do I currently have no data service on my phone after leaving the store 2.5 hours ago?

[Craig S. Dickson @craigsdickson]

This feels like a sick burn directed right at me. And how the heck are the Hoodoo Gurus only in the fine print.

Rodney Rude has seen Talking Heads and you haven't.

[Richard Seroter @rseroter]

A couple years back, O'Reilly published the book "Software Engineering at Google." It's good, I read it.

Now, you can read it online, entirely free. Do yourself a favor, and at least flip through it!

Now do it with the US flag or the Australian flag - we call the game “Patriot or Racist” in our family. Spoiler alert, the Racists are currently undefeated

and not in Australia for various AFL and cricket matches. Raiders fans are a breed apart, and in my personal experience deserve every piece of bad press they get. If I had been there with my wife or kids, I would have left by the end of the first quarter.

[Craig S. Dickson @craigsdickson]

This guy deserves every accolade he gets. I went to a Patriots game, in full Patriots colours, with almost 100 other Patriots fans, at Oakland Coliseum. I spent the whole game carefully measuring my actions, purposely not drinking alcohol, …

[David Wade @davidwade]

Patriots owner Robert Kraft has invited this Patriots fan to this weekend’s game at Gillette.

Jerry Edmond -at his first NFL game- kept his composure while an obnoxious and aggressive Raiders fan got in his face.

I think his 2nd game will be better!

[Craig S. Dickson @craigsdickson]

was clearly a single small false move away from a punch up. I’ve never experienced anything like it anywhere in the world - being a visiting fan in a stadium, not in various US states for NFL and MLB, …
