@Stumaj @AshleyLeahy @JaneCaro @PhillipAdams_1 @rtralphy Absolutely ridiculous decision - as a tax payer presumably about to fund her treatment and impending baby needs - she forfeited her right to some privileges when she committed a crime, and two of those was to conceive and motherhood whilst incarcerated.

@Racing @johnkanga @JyeMcNeil @stowaustralia So good for racing these moments!

Once again we have a commentator for the NRL Storm vs Rabbitohs match that is so anti-Melbourne it is laughable - we’re 25 mins into the game and Storm are 12-4 up but “the Storm are not at their best and being challenged by the Rabbitohs” - WTF

@OrmondWiz @rtralphy Absolutely agree, no kid interested in horse racing or having a punt asks that question - yet another woke proposition to changing what is not broken.

Australian Story ABC TV on Bon Scott was a fabulous trip reminiscing growing up in the 1970s and 1980s - he was such a magnet, you were absolutely drawn to him, and his facial expressions, during those AC/DC Countdown close ups.
RIPbon

“… the conditions have suited the Australians” … did I just hear that - who won the toss and batted?? FFS

Robert De Niro’s full statement on Trump. Please read and let me know your thoughts:

I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong.  Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

When the elegant actress was asked:

Why don't you have any plastic surgery?

She answered:

“I will never allow them to remove the wrinkles in my forehead, because they are the result of my amazement at the beauty of life…

…or those on my mouth, because it shows how much I laughed and how much I kissed…

…not even the black spots under my eyes, because behind it I hide the memories of my sadness and cry…

…They are part of me and I love their beauty...

I will preserve my facial features because they're an indicator of my life experiences."

Did Luke Darcy just say Patrick Cripps is “one of the all-time greats” - you’re kidding, is he anywhere near Matthews, Carey, Reynolds, Ablett (x2), Greig, and so on ….. NO HE IS NOT

Mick and his friend walk into a restaurant. After ordering their food they begin to have a bite to eat.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.
After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. Mick's friend looks at her and says, Can you swallow?'
The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Can you breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue, and shakes her head no.
Mick's friend walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers, and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm, and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, Mick's friend walks slowly back to his table. Mick says, 'You know, I'd heard of that 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't never seen anyone do it..."

This World Cup is the most attended women’s sporting event of any kind in the history of the world, in a country that isn’t even supposed to like soccer. 1.6m live spectators before the quarter finals even began. Awe-inspiring athleticism. A watershed in women’s sport. #Matildas

It had to be a sub that sunk the French.
