Zzzzz

@Ceejay4luv @tobyasky The coach Popovic knows we're shit so he is making us into a defensive wall and hoping we fluke a goal a game. It's shit to watch but it might work. In this game we had a lot of possession but because we're shit we couldn't get a shot on goal until the 85th minute.

@tobyasky Very boring game,the early game finlands own was better

Australia v Cameroon Early games for the FIFA series.

@tobyasky @DamisDml I wouldn't pay to watch it, it was pretty dull until Irankunda came on with 15 minutes to go.

@DamisDml It’s on FIFA tv, for free

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇 "As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions. Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation. So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East. Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

@Charity1186302 @benezrafx @michaelxpettis Soon you'll have to sell your women to them to pay off your debt slavery. 😉 It's western colonialism with Chinese characteristics! Lol

@benezrafx @michaelxpettis It's like we're trading our independence for infrastructure, and now we're even having trouble paying back the debts we owe because of it. When will we wake up and realize we're just building ourselves a new form of colonialism?

China Daily: "China's central bank announced on Friday that it will cut the foreign exchange risk reserve ratio for forward foreign exchange sales from 20 percent to zero, a move analysts say signals efforts to ease the rapid appreciation of the renminbi." chinadaily.com.cn/a/202602/27/WS…

@SenSanders Id be quite happy if Dulles got renamed. Dulles was the worst of CIA nut jobs, he was worse than a Kissinger or MacNamara.

Donald Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him. This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.

There’s no single leader in the Developed World that survives that “Obama - Ape” post. The UK PM would be gone before noon. France, Germany, etc. All gone. And the ones who’d survive - the likes of Putin & Xi - wouldn’t post it. Because they aren’t stupid. Except Trump.

Time to ban “state” funerals except for former PMs and those who’ve made a significant national contribution. State funerals have been seriously cheapened over recent years. What was John Laws’ positive contribution to the nation, Australia?? He did his well paid job.

Said this before but I’ll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened? We had same day GP, ambulances within minutes, dentists, good education, decent public transport, clean river and beaches. So AGAIN WTF happened?

@RichmondWomens @KFCAustralia Now to get some decent talls like North. That seems to be the key factor in AFLW ATM.

Mon Conti does it again 🔥 Another dominant display earns her the Round 9 @KFCAustralia Player of the Match! 👏

Storm surges from Super Typhoon Ragasa caused flooding, yet a man stood in the stormy waves, seemingly unfazed, risking his safety.

Deflation in China: The CPI dropped 0.2% and the PPI fell 2.9% last month.

I'm on the new Time Team episode shot at Norton Disney, which is now online for free. There is a point on Day 3 when Carenza and I turn over a piece of masonry. Our surprise was real and was caught live. We only shot that once. A real "Time Team Moment". youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@ACCIONA_EN Hydroelectric generation is far from green. The destruction of habitat, the generation of CO2 from constantly growing & rotting vegetation & the infrastructure to transport the power are all expensive & environmentally damaging.

@BlisterBarny @7AFL Fitzroy fans from the 80s may beg to differ. They got robbed of games a few times. And I'm not a Roy boy at all.

@7AFL Neutral observer. Worst 30 seconds of umpiring in the history of the game.

SCENES at the MCG?!?! Cam Rayner gets one free kick, kicks the goal ... then gets another free kick, and kicks another goal! 😳

@kwillow2008 @7AFL Suspended for staging

@7AFL Rayner needs to be fined for staging for that first one.
