Parenting dilemma:
Good: kid is, unprompted, practicing their writing on the weekend.
Bad: They’re writing “fuck you {sibling}” over and over

Wrong Alan Jones mr Reaper.
Vale Alan Jones.
It is with great sadness that the Australian Grand Prix Corporation acknowledges the passing of Alan Jones, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, loved ones and friends.
As a Formula 1® World Champion and one of Australia’s greatest racing drivers, Alan holds a special place in the history of our sport. His 1980 World Championship inspired a generation of Australian motorsport fans, while his victory at the Australian Grand Prix that same year remains the last time an Australian driver has won their home Grand Prix.
He leaves an extraordinary legacy in Australian motorsport and will be deeply missed by the motorsport community around the world.

Today marks exactly 10 years since Hacker T. Dog delivered the greatest unscripted line in British television history.
"We're just normal men... We're just innocent men."

“Back to Foulke, Red Sox fans have longed to hear it, the Boston Red Sox are World Champions.”
22 years ago tonight, the Curse of the Bambino was finally broken with a sweep of the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series.

As an Australian, I have never heard that name in my life.
I admittedly know next to nothing about cricket, Aussie rules football, or rugby, but I have a question for the Australians out there:
Is it fair to put Alexander Volkanovski in the pantheon of Australia’s greatest athletes, alongside legends like Rod Laver and Ian Thorpe?
Because from where I’m sitting, Volk has earned his place in that conversation.
This is right. The Shane Gillis monologue was fine and those taking offence need to lighten up. But it wasn’t particularly funny, and he can be very funny. Felt phoned-in and “controversial” for controversy’s-sake - and to that purpose it’s succeeded in spades.
The Shane Gillis bit on SNL wasn't very funny. Not that it was offensive - it was pretty standard observational humor- but it just wasn't that funny. It wasnt well constructed, and the delivery was weak.
Dave Chappelle made the exact same joke here and absolutely killed it. Just an absolute master of his craft.
Holy shit, someone actually got fired from their job for “appropriating” a hairstyle. 🙄
Regular reminder that “cultural appropriation” isn’t ever a thing and so-called progressives who pretend it is give the rest of us a bad name.
By now you’ve probably heard of the woman who was fired from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society following complaints that she culturally appropriated her Burning Man cornrows. Well, we got ahold of an internal document one staffer sent to volunteers and it’s an employment lawyer’s dream come true. Excerpts below or hear all about it on next week’s episode of Blocked and Reported (up now for Primos, unlocked Monday) blockedandreported.org/p/epi…

Once again I ask, where were these Roosters in the 80s and 90s when I was heavily invested in them and constantly disappointed?? Zero premierships in my first 26 years … now 5 in my next 24 when I didn’t really follow any more 🤷

I get the ideology it should be under a UN mandate but that’s impractical. Supporting sovereign states against invasion (particularly friendly, democratic ones) should be a core principle. Not providing support is effectively supporting the aggressor. Do better.

I wasn’t aware it was a position of The @Greens to not provide weapons to Ukraine. I’ve voted them #1 exclusively in my 30+ years of voting but this is a threshold issue. (1/2)

My top vote won’t get any other love but it holds a special place - was my first exposure to The Beatles and my brother and I listened to it non-stop on family car trips
3 - Beatles Ballads
2 - Elv1s - 30 #1 Hits
1 - Wave of Mutilation - Best of Pixies (my 1st Pixies album)
I definitely would have preferred the underdog Freo but my kids are ecstatic as they play for Fitzroy Lions soccer club so claim a connection to Brissie 🤷♂️ #AFLFreoLions

Very, very hard choices for #5DebutAlbumsFinal
I know these last few games don’t matter but you want to be heading into the playoffs with some momentum. #RedSox pitching is looking strong but hitting 6-62 with RISP in last three series is just pathetic. Gotta turn in on soon.
