@rtralphy Rule change ended the great Vin Cattoggio's career. Just sayin'...

History says footy greats adapt to rule changes Adjusting the holding the ball interpretation was no problem for Kevin Bartlett. Peter Moore and Barry Round both won Brownlow's after the ruck line was brought in Hope Patrick Voss can cope #heaveho 🟪

@IncrediblyBozza Watered down 7/11 coke and a 4 day old pie, at best.

Isn’t it funny? Last trade period North supporters said Jye Simpkin was worth 2 first round picks. The way they are talking about him today, he is worth no more than a can of coke and a pie. #AFL

@MikeyRobins Every time I see the ad I wonder whether his teeth are going to pop out.

The Trivago guy is the last person you need to run into at reception

@MaxAbrahms Max Abrahms.

Is there a more overrated guy than Joe Rogan ever?

@AofahKoff Pommie Bastard has an opinion.

I wish I lived in SA, so I could put One Nation last on a ballot.

@fictillius So what?

Punters lost a record $9.3 billion on NSW poker machines last year. $179m a week or $1.1m per hour.

@alexbhturnbull Why didn't the legless dickhead that is your old man fix it when he had the chance? You complete Muppet.

Your periodic reminder that thanks to John Howard and others we do not have gas reservation in the East Coast of Australia which is also why fertilizer plants were shut and why farmers do not have enough fertilizer. #auspol

@mabziz You have to be quite dumb to actually believe this.

Iran did not beat the F-35's radar-defying tech. It didn't even try to. What it did was focus on a different realm of the electromagnetic spectrum; HEAT, with CHEAP thermal sensors. Per a fundamental rule of thermodynamics, HEAT can't be hidden. And F-35 generates massive heat

@adamscrabble It is absolutely not anon. I've followed him on blogs and SM since about 2001 when the Climate Wars started after the ridiculous Third Assessment Report came out, which included the Hokey Stick. He's a statistician par excellence and very thorough with his research.

Is this account an anon? His website doesn’t have any disclosure of the identity in case I’m missing something??

@plebcapital Any food chain that can't get me to eat at it is not gonna make it in the US.

No. $GYG

@IanCarrollShow @marklevinshow Two tiny penis Jews arguing like schoolgirls is exactly the sort of content I'm here for!

@marklevinshow You should move to Israel Mark. The Americans are having a conversation.

I assume you worked in the fruit section of the food store.

@john_macgowan @VoteLewko Diabolical.

The real reason they do this is to game inflation data. 10% of the CPI basket is "arts and culture", to calculate it, they use the sum of average ticket prices over projected attendance, not raw sales. So if you add an 80% discount category to adult, children and consession tickets for cultural institutions, even if no one buys a ticket, you drop the gross CPI basket. The gov used to use TPD pension card tickets for this, but those guys have all died out. Expect by the end of the year similar categories for sport and entertainment, which are an even bigger slice than arts and culture.

The Mosman, Toorak and Kirribilli mob will love this.

@CrimsonRaven777 And come back and burn the crap out of your fingers when you grab the tongs! Use a wooden skewer and no issue apart from it being a tad burnt where it touches the side of the pan. Handy tip - for multiple chops the wooden skewer holds everything in place nicely.

Handy tip for rendering down the fat on your chop, you can walk away n do something else 👍😉

@adamscrabble Also my fav DM song. This Never Let Me Down Again is one of the greatest live performances of all time. youtube.com/watch?v=QRCYRV…

What Depeche Mode song was your joint back in the day? Mine was 🎶 Never Let Me Down Again

@bernardtjoy Well, it's not freaking Transporter 1, 2 & 3, that's for damn sure!

Which is the greatest film trilogy of all time?

@IanCarrollShow Listen to Jew Carroll. Jew Carroll knows.

The FBI couldn’t be bothered to investigate the Epstein Israeli pedo ring but it’s investigating a war hero who’s blowing the whistle… Thats how corrupt our government has become.

@allovertheform Good thinking! Metro maidens should be restricted to 7yo+😆

@Johns_Analytics Depends on age etc

Let’s stop pretending this is a tough conversation. It isn’t. It’s overdue. Saturday racing in Sydney is supposed to be the pinnacle. It’s the shop window. The best horses, the sharpest stables, the riders at the peak of their powers. That’s what people tune in for, that’s what punters invest in, and that’s what the industry trades its reputation on. So why are we still handing out participation ribbons in the middle of it? Highway and Midway races had a purpose when they were introduced. They were designed to give smaller stables exposure, to create pathways, to spread opportunity. Fine. Noble, even. But somewhere along the way, “pathway” quietly became “entitlement,” and now we’re treating Saturday metropolitan racing like it owes these races a slot. It doesn’t. And before anyone jumps in with the defence it is only two races out of ten, that somehow it is harmless, that it is just a small slice of the program that misses the point entirely. Saturday is not about majority rules. It is about standard. You do not protect the integrity of a premier product eight races out of ten and then look the other way for the other two. Winning in the city is supposed to mean something. It’s supposed to be earned, not allocated. The moment you carve out protected lanes for certain classes of participants, you dilute the very thing that makes city racing valuable merit under pressure. If you want to win on a Saturday in Sydney, you should have to beat proper town hall company. No shortcuts. No separate divisions. No soft landing. You line up, you measure up, or you don’t. That’s the deal. Because here’s the reality punters won’t say quietly anymore these races break the rhythm of a Saturday card. They lower the standard, they muddy form lines, and they inject inconsistency into what should be a premium betting product. Two races is all it takes to disrupt flow, confidence, and form. And quality matters. Not just for perception, but for turnover, integrity, and long term growth. You don’t build a flagship product by compromising it, even briefly, to tick a participation box. There are plenty of places in the calendar for Highway and Midway races to exist and thrive. Midweek programs. Provincial showcases. Feature support cards. Build them up, give them identity, give them space to breathe. But Saturday in Sydney That’s sacred ground. This isn’t harsh. It’s honest. Privilege, not a right. That’s what a city win should be. And right now, we’ve blurred that line to the point where it barely exists. Scrap the Highway. Scrap the Midway. Restore the standard. If you want to win in the city, earn your way in and beat the best. That’s how it should be. That’s how it used to be. And that’s how it needs to be again.

@walterkirn I tell people that there are two filters for the world Kumbaya Filter - shallow thinkers, globalist, UN/ICJ are more important than national laws and institutions Game of Thrones Filter - how the world really works, power centers competing for supremacy, violent, uncompromising

I have a friend in the security world, high in the security world, who speaks of "power centers" rather than govt's or nations and seems to feel that the world is more a set of rival and allied "ventures" than a game of Risk in the old sense. I'm coming around to this idea.
