I know we say this a lot when someone dies, but I mean this, nobody said a bad word about PAC ever. And he's swam some shark invested waters in the last 25 years. Yet he was so admired and liked by his peers and the fanbase. God, his poor mother.

Between the two prelims and that GF would have to go close to the best end to a finals campaign ever... Amazing 3 games #aflgf #afl #aflfinals

Bisexuality does not require you to have dated X number of people Y times to count. You attracted to more than one gender? Cool. You count. Anyone saying otherwise is a jerk.

If you told high school me, listening to Death Certificate in 1992, that the most politically astute rapper in 2026 was a white guy from Seattle with a novelty hit about Value Village while Ice Cube was full Republican, I think I would have lost all youthful confidence and become a monk or something

That was a hell of a 5 min burst from Jackson, just took it by the scruff with the team on his back and turned the game back in Dockers favour #AFL #AFLFreoCats

Fair to say my #AFLFantasy GF weekend is def not going well, now struggling and pretty much done in all 3 GFs 😭 Thankfully have #EPL and #FPL back to also frustrate and infuriate me as well... WTF was I thinking captaining Bruno over Haaland 🤦

Congratulations Spain and the right result... Credit to Argentine defending but one thing to try and stifle opponents, but when you don't get into the box or shots don't deserve rewards #WorldCup

I know world cup finals often are but this is a yawn fest so far for the most part.... As crass and un-needed as the half time was still been the most interesting thing #worldcup

I saw "Spotify removing slop" and got my hopes up that they had finally deplatformed Rogan but sadly no.... even though removing AI music is still a good move (though behind other platforms like Tidal)

Spotify removes 'AI slop' and seeks transparency from musicians who use AI

Spotify is making AI music easier to detect
Streaming giant Spotify has stopped short of expunging artificially generated music from its platform, but it is making it easier for listeners to work out that they are listening to tracks produced using AI.

Ok this is absolute BS and FIFA/Gianni need to be taken to task for this... "hydration breaks" was bad enough but extending half time from the usual 15 to 25+ minutes actually changes the game, fitness, recovery, how the game plays out... Just, no #WorldCup

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.
Sam Neill on profile in EVENT HORIZON, with a patch on his jacket that shows the Australian flag but with the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because fuck colonialism and Sam knew that this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land

The "FIFA Peace prize" winner says jump, Gianni says how high... Supposedly it didnt impact the "independent review" and the red card ban being overturned had nothing to do with that, despite no other explanation being given for why...

Thats a fair one two punch from Haaland... the cross on the first was just sublime, and defence stood too far off on the second but cracking finish #WorldCup #BRANOR

More great stuff from @alasdairgold.bsky.social and a fair point with "everything Levy had set up has actually allowed Tottenham to do all the things he wouldn't" Levy set up the solid base and created the monster but for whatever reason he just couldnt unshackle and release it #COYS #THFC

Fingers crossed... with all the other massive transfers happening the fact theres been no talk or even random rumours bout anyone for the RW did make me wonder if maybe the club are confident in Deki being up and about to back up to rotate with Kudus

I also appreciate Cody Gakpo and his partner using their platform to talk about miscarriage. It’s hard, it’s heartbreaking, and historically it’s been so stigmatized that you don’t realize how normal it is.

Yeah bad call... I think there is too much holding going on in the box and needs to be clamped down on, but that one was too soft and shouldnt have been called, goal should have stood #WorldCup #GERPAR
