#CycloneAlfred path has as many twist and turns as Alfie Langer stumbling home from Caxton St

@RapidResponse47 At this point I know think MAGA are just bots on the internet

@bowtiedstocks Nice spot and cheaper than most pubs meals

Lunching out at the Manly Boat Harbour in Brissy today Good spot and good steak frites 🥩 What a day for it

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days. More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine! The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

@bluewolfpack1 Risk rally mostly priced in as TACO has been trying to back out for a week. Small pop in risk, then Israel fucks it everyone. End of the day Trump has no control on this situation

The Iranians have told Trump the only way we negotiate and you get the Strait open is if you first stop the war . That’s what this Trump national address is about . He will announce war is over . And obviously that Trump won . Risk rally will be insane . Am long risk .

When I think about my music nostalgia this is just absolutely it.

@MarioNawfal What a fucking loser

🚨🇺🇸 Trump is adding his signature to the dollar for America's 250th birthday. The first sitting president to ever appear on U.S. currency. He already put his name on buildings, steaks, a university, and a dance. The dollar was inevitable. Collect them while they're fresh! Source: @sentdefender / NBC

@NoLimitGains “WITCH” what a fucking dumbass

🚨 DONALD TRUMP JUST POSTED THIS: The 48-hour ultimatum became a 5-day ceasefire. 48 hours ago he was threatening to destroy Iran’s power plants. Now he’s postponing military strikes for 5 days. I’m expecting a short-term bounce and the downtrend to continue.

@OBBY001 Straight from the Trump propaganda playbook

Yesterday I posted the AFL total crowd from the weekend @ 383,644 and the rugby league crowd @ 177,834 I asked the Q - How will PVL spin this one? Didn’t have to wait long - here it is ⬇️

@bradontc9 @rugbyphilosophy Agreed the saffas are unbearable but love to hate them and admire the passion they have for their country

@bradontc9 @rugbyphilosophy I can guarantee maybe a couple dozen people in Australia know of the 6 nations and only 5 people would follow it. The wallabies barely get a mention in our media. Our cuzzies over the ditch don’t care, they’re only just getting coloured TV

Dear 6 Nations fans, I want to give you an insight into the mindset of Southern Hemisphere (albeit New Zealand) rugby fans. For years, there’s been this sentiment down under that 6 Nations rugby is rubbish compared to the Rugby Championship. Admittedly, it turns out this rivalry is pretty one-sided. Apparently, you guys don’t really care much about the North vs South thing, while down here, we care deeply. Like a little brother making up a competition just so he can beat his older brother. But I want to give you some insight into where this perception has come from and why we think this way. 6 Nations fans love their rugby because it produces some of the most exceptional rivalries, and high pressure moments in the international rugby. Highly pressurised, back and forth, leave-nothing-on-the-field, pressure cauldrons. Each team duking it out with each other, landing blows, trading penalties, until one team finally wrestles momentum to score the match-winning penalty with seconds left on the clock. BUT... they were trading penalties. Every moment one team gave an inch, the other team would capitalise in the form of a penalty. To us New Zealanders, we’d wake up on a Sunday morning, pop on the highlights, and watch a 3-minute penalty compilation. "Boring!" we’d shout, and go back to drinking our milo and eating our marmite toast. What we missed were the stories. The moments, the pressure, the devastation of loss and heartbreak at a mere penalty changing the balance of an 80-minute encounter. "But we want tries," we’d say. Most Northern Hemisphere fans would think we meant try-fests, or defenceless muckabouts where it’s basically like watching 7s. No time building pressure, no moments of teams beating each other to try to force an inch of difference. But that was far from what we meant. It’s not just more tries because of poor defence. It’s tries because teams and players are so exceptional in their skillset that they are able to exploit the smallest error for a try, rather than focusing on the big giveaways that result in penalties. And that final game between England and France perfectly encapsulates what we’ve been saying all this time. Rather than a tit-for-tat of penalties building to massive moments, it’s a tit-for-tat of incredible tries. It was the same beautiful, powerful, pressured rivalry. The same storied history. The same never-say-die attitude, the same moments of pressure, the same giving everything on the field, but now the moments, the inches given, are capitalised on not by penalties, but by tries. Two powerhouse teams giving their all, exchanging blows and capitalising on each other's mistakes with TRIES. Beautiful, glorious, spectacular tries! Just look at this shift: France (2022): 17 tries and 12 penalty goals. France (2026): 30 tries and 3 penalty goals. England (2022): 8 tries and 17 penalty goals. England (2026): 21 tries and 6 penalty goals. This latest game is the exact opposite of what we’ve critiqued about 6 Nations rugby in years gone by. It's exactly what we've been talking about! It's the kind of rugby that keeps us awake at 3:00am. And if this is the new 6 Nations, then the old 'North vs South' grudge is officially moot. That was world-class rugby, and we can't get enough of it.

@mrchrisnico Bunch of snowflakes hurt by the truth

@CaroDiRusso How does someone with an Arts degree become finance minister?

Australia’s Finance Minister Katie Gallagher has no clue about numbers and no clue about the budget. Together with Chalmers, she’s responsible for the budget. No wonder it’s a mess. #auspol

@scottmelker Is this the same Lawrence Lepard that launched a meme coin then blamed it on being hacked?

I have never seen anything on Macro Monday or any show ever like I just saw on Macro Monday.

@Nowooski Who the hell sorts the medal tally by total medals and not amount of gold won?

Did China shut down their Olympic program or something? Not only are they in 14th place, but 25% of their medals were won by Americans.

@JBachick @stats_feed @grok lol sit down gronk

@X is a cesspool of American propaganda. Can't we just go back to asking @grok to put bikini's on hot chicks?

@JDVance Shut up you little fat cunt

This is preposterous. First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car. Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs. Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing. Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating. The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him. A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.

@Alex_Watto @cricketontnt Your team sucks, cope harder

@cricketontnt Its been a terrible series, clear cheating with technology, terrible pitches, day night test that are hardly played across the world and a imbalance with a modified ball. Well done Australia for killing what should have been an exciting series.

Travis Head finishes the Ashes series as the leading run-scorer 👏 Jacob Bethell breaks into the top 10 from just four innings 🙌

@braddavo Well said Brett

My respect for Ben Stokes has grown a lot this summer. Just a wonderful competitor that leaves absolutely everything on the pitch. Hard not to admire that #ashes

@EricLDaugh So Trump is trying to emulate his idol Putin

🚨 BREAKING: Greenland and Denmark just BEGGED to meet with Secretary Rubio after President Trump made clear he's very serious about bringing it into the United States That's what Denmark gets for doing NOTHING for Greenland and letting Russia and China into the region. WE LOVE MARCO! This meeting is going to be epic 🤣 TRUMP: "We NEED Greenland for national security!" "You have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place!"
