@CultureCrave Wow $9 for a really shit coffee. Starbucks is dogshit.

Starbucks CEO defends a $9 coffee ☕️ • Says it can be worth it for a 'premium experience' — examples include a nice place to sit and friendly baristas • He thinks some people look at it as 'really affordable' because it's 'less than $10' "In some cases, $9 does feel like you're splurging ... that means we have to make it worth your while" (via @WSJ)

@ZforVendetta1 @ForgiatoBlow47 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It sure looks like Lindsay Graham is going to lose his South Carolina seat after 23 years What do You think about that?

@baker_girlie What medication is she on? Oh ffs. She’s on 14 fucking gin and tonics that’s what medication she’s on.

This clueless lady gets pulled over for driving erratically and having a street sign sticking out the back of her car. It’s quite obvious she ran over the sign. She isn’t drunk. She is under the influence of prescription medication. These officers are very kind. I wonder if they arrested her because her husband was at the airport heading to NY for a surgery.

@strangerous10 Absolute no-brainer. Get it done.

Barbara Pocock says oil & gas co’s are “raking in wartime profits” & calls on Labor to introduce a 25% gas revenue tax. Says govt has support of The Greens to legislate which could raise $17 Billion p/yr “Workers should not be paying more than a massive gas corporation”💥#auspol

@upholdreality Presstitutes is brilliant and bang on

Marandi's patience with these presstitutes is honestly superhuman At least we get to see him shred the script live on air

@McMullanColin @Partisan_12 Who’s “you”? I’m Australian. And the Irish are hardly alone in turning a blind eye to institutional abuse. Check your own backyard. Jog on with your confected moral outrage you flog.

@WhatTheChicken @Partisan_12 They let the provos and the church nonce their kids and done nothing! A culture of blowing shit up and noncing kids ain’t of legends… Maybe that myth word Fenian is code word for nonces as it can’t be great Irish warrior 🫣 you haven’t won any wars! Losing makes you great 🤷🏼‍♂️

@northnthat @LBC @AndrewMarr9 Perfectly said

@LBC @AndrewMarr9 It's Mossad mate, you know it, we all know it. Stop being a fucking prick.

‘It is well worth exploring whether there might be a genuinely ominous backstory.’ @AndrewMarr9 puts forward the possibility of a ‘Russian connection’ to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activity.

@orca_chaser @beckytaylorgill Who TF is Vicky?

@beckytaylorgill Very astute Vicky. Wrong numbers but the difference is nearly bang on!

England are gonna bowl Australia out for 100 and then get bowled out for 60

@ABsay_ek Absolutely beautifully written

There’s a particular cruelty in cricket’s numbers when you’re a pace bowler. The sport will worship a quick who can touch 150kph even if his average hovers around 30, but a bowler who runs in with the intensity of a man trying to push a broken-down car uphill? He needs to prove himself in triplicate just to get his kit bag in the dressing room... Michael Neser has 423 first class wickets at 23 odd average. He also has 4000+ runs at average around 30. Those are allrounder numbers. Yet until last month, Neser’s entire Test career could be summarized in a coffee break: 2 matches, in last 4 years, each appearance feeling like Australia had remembered they had a spare key hidden under the doormat... Stat sheet doesn’t tell you about the 2010 Shield debut, when a 20 year old Neser dismissed Adam Voges and Shaun Marsh; two batters who’d go on to play Test cricket, whose Test careers would begin after that game & end before Neser got his baggy green. It doesn’t tell you about the countless times he’d be the best bowler in Shield, only to watch the selectors fax in another squad with his name in the “emergency only” column... “I feared my Test career was over,” Neser admitted last summer, and you could hear the exhaustion in that sentence. Not the dramatic exhaustion of a torn ACL or a stress fracture, but the quiet, grinding fatigue of a man who’d torn his hamstring playing Australia A against India A at the MCG; 12 months on the shelf for a glorified practice match. The kind of injury that happens to players who are always available, always dependable, always one phone call away from being told “we need you to carry drinks and maybe bowl 12 overs in nets if it rains.” Neser, at 35, became the human equivalent of that reliable sedan in your garage; works perfectly, gets you everywhere, but everyone’s dreaming about the sports car they can’t afford. And then, the twist. Gabba 2025. Last minute selection over Nathan Lyon, a decision that had Shane Warne’s ghost reaching for the whiskey. A 35 year old on his home ground, picked ahead of the greatest off-spinner of the modern era. The controversy was delicious. The vindication? Even better. Neser’s Test progression reads like a man who’s tired of being the backup plan. 1st Test: 2 wickets. 2nd Test: 5. 3rd Test: 6. 4th Test: 4 in the first innings at MCG, each wicket a middle finger to the idea that you need 90mph to succeed in Australia. He has never gone wicketless in an innings. Not once! In this series where England built their entire philosophy around speed; Wood, Archer, Carse, Atkinson. Neser & Scott Boland have tilted this Ashes by proving that 5 good balls an over beats one thunderbolt followed by four half-volleys... Depth of Australian fast bowling didn’t just keep Neser out of the side; it forged him into something harder, sharper, more complete. While others were being rested & rotated, he was bowling in Cardiff, batting in Glamorgan, learning to be the player you’d build a team around even if nobody ever did... You won’t find many pace bowlers with those numbers, in any country, in any era, still waiting for their moment. But then, you won’t find many cricketers like Michael Neser... He doesn’t need speed. He has got something better: perseverance. And finally, the opportunity.

@TheBarmyArmy Cricket

- Smith and Jacks put on 200 - Carse chips in with 18 - Tongue SMASHES a six - Jofra hits the winning runs - 2-1 in the Ashes - Wins in Melbourne & Sydney - Ashes REGAINED Who says no? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #Ashes

@McFlavour7 @bbctms 😂

@bbctms None. You need to have ticker to be picked in the Australian side, plus we have a no dickheads policy.

Which current England players would get into the Australia side? You can send in your questions to our Ask Me Anything team. ✉️ #BBCCricket #Ashes

@JamesChuChan 😂

Well done Jofra Archer. 5 wkts. Deserved. Shame he was let down by his captain Stokes and Carse/Tongue who bowled pish. Am sure he’ll be bowling again later today as we bat like assholes again #Ashes

What's the EASIEST thing to do in cricket?

@RichGuy1975 @micah_erfan You MASSIVE dickhead. Australia produces its own beef - so why would we need to buy more of the same thing? Instead we buy OTHER good from the US that we don’t produce. More than you wankers but from us. Hence the trade SURPLUS. Get off here and go read a book.

@micah_erfan Correct However When you refuse to allow US beef to be imported yet, send your beef to the US. Is that fair ? The answer is... NO. This is about open trade for everything, not banning things that you send to us. That would be free and fair trade.
