I'm just going to leave this here today for anyone who might need to hear it, whether you're applying it to the #Yankees/#Dodgers #WorldSeries or to life in general. 🙏⚾️❤️

@washingtonpost Democracy dies in darkness? What a joke. Plutocracy is clearly making the decisions at the Washington Post.

@MSDeplorable73 @washingtonpost Assignation definition: an appointment to meet someone in secret, typically one made by lovers.
"his assignation with an older woman". We Dems wish Trump did everything in secret. Instead he’s running for a second term to outdo his first go as ‘worst president ever’.

My friend Mariel Garza just resigned as editorials editor of @latimes after the newspaper’s owner blocked the editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris for president. https://t.co/etvsPubDMV

@Leo_Puglisi6 When you spend Saturday night on X, Leo, the Xers aren’t going to care who said it when you post an image of middle aged bald guys kissing. Never forget that you and your audience are primates, inhabiting groups and struggling for alpha status.

@MadmanFilms They are one. By combining a female empowerment social satire with lots of hot dancing babe scenes, The Substance is a genre that should be gold at the box office. It’s a shame this movie, unlike ‘Barbie’, stops being clever after about 45 minutes. But it’s a fun and wild ride.

@antoinette_news Fortunately, we can count on Dudley Crayon to defend Shaun against intolerance and oppression (once he’s taken out the bins).

@antoinette_news Age, colour, gender aside, per the SMH, “There’s an energy to his presentation, a spark borne of enthusiasm for the show and clear affection for his travelling companion. Relaxed and confident, Shaun is having fun, and that’s a big element of the show’s appeal.” Maybe that’s why?

@paradoxinvestor @TheEconomist He who cares about the water, returns it / Wie het water deert, het water keert.

This translation is for all the people reading The Economist, confused about a Dutch proverb used as a sub-headline, Google it, and end up at this tweet.

If the news from Ukraine is hard to bear, read this evocative and joyful tale of Kyiv nightlife in 2021.

@heidimur The traditional collective name for ravens would be more apt for these: ‘an unkindness of scooters’

@TheKouk Why couldn’t Woolies succeed with a Bunnings competitor? Real estate. Companies want to make a lot of money as soon as possible. Costco and Aldi take a longer-term view, but even Costco is closing in the Docklands in MEL. They want a bigger, cheaper store.

@TonyHWindsor The parliamentary system fortunately keeps people like Trump from leading major parties here. But Australia just experienced full on democracy too, and Dutton led the charge on dividing us on the low-risk proposition of a First Nations advisory body. Politics is about division.

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.

@damiencave Of course, the whole, ‘the water’s over there if you want water’ culture you’ll find in many AU restaurants suggests that a culture of tipping may not be a prerequisite for good service, but it does help servers pretend they care about serving you.

[Gordon McNenney @el_gordon]

@damiencave It’s interesting that when tipping started in the U.S., it was considered ‘deeply un-American’.

The Murdochs and Tony Abbott agree. We must vote no to the elites. https://t.co/VMAaZW8dt2

@Peter_Fitz I’d say a combo of Suzy Eddie Izzard and Eddy Munster.
