@KoroTeeps That was shocking last night. Blues were pretty bash and blah. No wonder three of their guys went off with head knocks. They were just slow and piling in with no purpose. Canes forwards much more dynamic. The Blues need better coaching and leadership and team culture.

Caleb Clarke should move to a team that wants to give him more ball. Hes an absolute weapon on the wing, good defender with a strong high ball game but he sits out there on left wing, ignored by his insides.

I had no idea who the US vice president was until Lyndon B Johnson had to step up. Prior to him they weren’t noticed, but now they are a thing

Australian wages rose about 82% over 20 years. House prices rose 193%. Shares did even better. After two landslides, a LABOR GOVT proposes modest rebalancing of tax settings + tax relief for 14m workers & it's punitive class warfare against boomers? Give me strength.

@firehorsemia @Becs Yeah but when supply gets rationed they will be in the box seat for a while. That will trump the cost.

A recent purchase at an auction, a ca. 1961 Tasman Empire Airways Limited (TEAL) fine china cup & saucer. TEAL (1940-1965) is the former name of Air New Zealand. The teacup was made by Japanese manufacturer Noritake.

@irisshackleton I think people hope they signs of his imminent demise, indications of serious health problems. Given how he has mocked and demonised others for their health problems there is a certain schadenfreude.

Why are people so obsessed with Ffrumpf’s hands & ankles? The focus should be on how corrupt he is, the evil he’s perpetuating & the damage he’s doing.

@we_dollar @therealgregjack My Dad smoked, mainly a pipe, from his early teens I think. In his 50s he had a really bad bout of bronchitis and literally stopped overnight. He said he felt so sick smoking wasn’t worth it and that was that. Stubborn guy.

@therealgregjack My Dad was a 2 pack a day post K Force. He went to work in a sawmill in the mid 50's and forgot to take his ciggies with him and never touched them again. He became an evangelical non smoker after that. A pretty insufferable anti smoker. Pity help anyone who lit up around him. 😬

Warren Buffett just warned that the US dollar could collapse and admitted he doesn't understand most of the stock market anymore. 95 years old, sitting on $380 billion in cash, and the first time watching from the sidelines instead of actively investing. And what he revealed at this weekend's Berkshire shareholder meeting is genuinely concerning: On the market, Buffett didn't hold back. He compared it to "a church with a casino attached" and said the casino has never been more packed. On one-day options: "That is not investing. It's not speculating. It's gambling. Totally." He pointed to the Avis short squeeze THIS WEEK. A rental car company that's been around for 50 years getting meme-squeezed in 2026. The same behavior that blew up retail traders with GameStop is back, except now it's hitting boring legacy companies with zero business being volatile. "We have lots more regulation now, but people spend their time figuring out how to get around the rules rather than follow the rules." That one sentence explains more about the current market than every CNBC segment combined. When asked why he's hoarding $380 billion instead of investing it, Buffett said something no one expected: "I understand fewer of the businesses as a percentage of the whole than I did 10 years ago. I have not learned new industries for some years. I'm not going to have an edge on a whole bunch of younger people that have actually grown up with it." Think about what he's actually saying... This is a man who made $140 billion by understanding businesses better than anyone alive. And he's telling you the current market is so detached from reality that even HE can't make sense of what's being valued and why. He quoted IBM's Tom Watson Sr.: "I'm smart in spots and I stay around those spots." In 60 years of managing money, he said MAYBE five were "really juicy." Five out of sixty. That means 92% of his career was spent WAITING while everyone else gambled. And he still ended up richer than all of them. Then the conversation turned to inflation and that's where it gets really interesting: Buffett said America is "not immune" from runaway inflation. He brought up countries that went bankrupt "six or seven times" in his lifetime. Compared today to right before Volcker had to rescue the dollar, when Americans were borrowing at 12% to buy farmland earning 6% because they believed the dollar would disappear. "Cash is trash" was the mentality. Nebraska farmers collapsed because of it. Entire communities wiped out not by a recession but by a BELIEF that the currency was dying. And Buffett sees that same energy building again. Then someone asked the question everyone wanted answered: Do you see a crash coming? "If you saw it coming, it wouldn't happen. The things people are talking about and thinking about? It's not going to happen. But there are things that can come out of the blue." He compared it to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 that triggered World War I. Nobody was discussing or anticipating it. But it changed the world overnight. "That's particularly true now because of the things that can come out of the sky." A 95yo man who has survived every crash, every war, every crisis of the last six decades just told you the market is a casino, the dollar isn't safe, and the real collapse will be something nobody sees coming. $380 billion in cash is his answer because he believes things are about to get much worse.

@TerrySparrow4 I thought when someone is tasered it’s meant to incapacitate them. I don’t think the guy could let go of the knife or move his arms so kicking him in the head did nothing but release some fear and tension in the cops. A bit better training might give them more confidence.

100% THIS! I’m sure they gave the shitbag a cup of tea 🫖 in the Custody suite for the shock. He was intent on murdering innocent people remember, personally I thought the officers 👮‍♀️ acted with incredible restraint myself all things considered. 👍

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.” Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

While I was out surveying the local cats, ducks, and fungi, I had a call from the nurse practitioner to say that my PET scan last week was all clear 🎉🎉🎉 I am, as you can imagine, a very happy bunny 😊💖
