@Mishi_2210 127. Double plus 1.

@NoLimitGains Got a leash on Israel?

🚨 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.

@PhilipHermann @magachrchpastr You fell into his trap worse that Trump has fallen into Irans.

As a Pastor, your expertise is not geopolitics and sorry to say it shows! What you just said is just an enormity! Everyone knows how the strait of Ormuz is strategic in economical, polical and geopolitical world! Everyone! So take care of the souls of your parish, and abstain from commenting topics you have no clue about! I have rephrased it, but the bottom line is same!

I wish everyone would stop blaming Pres Trump and Gen. Pete Hegseth for the insanely high fuel prices that will ruin the world economy. There was simply no way to predict the Iranian regime would block the Strait of Hormuz after we started bombing them🙏🇺🇸

@LangmanVince America could take over a lot of countries in no time but none of it would be right.

How does Denmark's military compare to America's? This is hilarious 😂 We could take control of Greenland in about 20 minutes.

@DudespostingWs Let that be a warning if you try invading Australia

@cdesilva23 Quite simply the most overrated cricketer ever.

Can we have an honest conversation about Ben Stokes? His PR suggests his career averages look like Jacques Kallis, but he might not be better than Shane Watson.

@bet365_aus Ricky, you earn enough to not do this.

Welcome to the team, Punter!

@icelandcricket It’s not right but I’ll take it as you didn’t put Anderson in.

It is Ashes week and today we announce our all-time best combined team: Matthew Hayden Len Hutton Don Bradman Ken Barrington Steve Waugh (c) Ian Botham Adam Gilchrist (wk) Shane Warne Dennis Lillee Sydney Barnes Glenn McGrath Drinks waiters: R Ponting, B Stokes & D Gower

@SENBreakfast We’re sick of change. We’re sick of the AFL changing our game.

"What is the issue here? It is literally an extra week of football, we fill in the pre finals bye, I don't get why people are angry about this." - Kane on the Wildcard weekend

@MiguelS92940618 @AFL_House Last year Sydney had two byes before west coast had one. Ridiculous.

10 sides get two byes during the season. 8 sides start a week later and get one bye. This is a stupidly needless inequity for a fixture that’s got its fair share of inequities. Probably the worst idea @AFL_House has had, and that’s a crowded field.

@isaguha Outside edge to slip. Classic.

Favourite Kohli shot? Legside glance or cover drive? #AUSvIND

@mattwelter Have some kids. Then you’ll realise all the things you worry about aren’t worth worrying about at all.

i have... - an amazing girlfriend - making ~$450k this year - can work anywhere / anytime - live in a house w/ a pool yet i have anxiety every damn day, tight chest, hard to take a deep breaths, intrusive thoughts, always feeling not enough, can never relax what went wrong

@Martinlundqvis1 @travisakers You are the problem.

@travisakers So, you left your occupation because you felt disrespected by a 6-year-old or because you had reached retirement age? Blaming the kid for your choices sound nonsensical, take ownership of your life.

A message from a Kindergarten teacher: After forty years in the classroom, my career ended with one small sentence from a six-year-old: “My dad says people like you don’t matter anymore.” No sneer. No malice. Just quiet honesty — the kind that cuts deeper because it’s innocent. He blinked, then added, “You don’t even have a TikTok.” My name is Mrs. Clara Holt, and for four decades, I taught kindergarten in a small Denver suburb. Today, I stacked the last box on my desk and locked the door behind me. When I started teaching in the early 1980s, it felt like a promise — a shared belief that what we did mattered. We weren’t rich, but we were valued. Parents brought warm cookies to parent nights. Kids gave you handmade cards with hearts that didn’t quite line up. Watching a child sound out their first sentence felt like magic. But that world slowly slipped away. The job I once knew has been replaced by exhaustion, red tape, and a kind of loneliness I can’t quite describe. My evenings used to be filled with construction paper, glitter, and glue sticks. Now they’re spent filling out digital reports to protect myself from angry emails or lawsuits. I’ve been yelled at by parents in front of twenty-five children — one filming me with his phone while I tried to calm another child mid-meltdown. And the kids… they’ve changed too. Not by choice. They arrive tired, anxious, overstimulated. Their tiny fingers know how to swipe a screen before they can hold a crayon. Some can’t make eye contact or wait in line. We’re expected to fix all of it — to patch the gaps, heal the trauma, teach the curriculum, and document every move — in six hours a day, with resources that barely fill a drawer. The little reading corner I once built, full of soft beanbags and paper stars, was replaced by data charts and “learning metrics.” A young principal once told me, “Clara, maybe you’re too nurturing. The district wants measurable results.” As if kindness were a weakness. Still, I stayed. Because of the small, holy moments that no spreadsheet could measure — a whisper of, “You remind me of my grandma.” a shaky note that read, “I feel safe here.” a quiet boy finally meeting my eyes and saying, “I read the whole page.” Those tiny sparks were my reason to keep showing up. But this last year broke something in me. The aggression grew sharper. The laughter in the staff room turned to silence. The light went out of so many eyes. I watched brilliant teachers — my friends — vanish under the weight of burnout, their joy replaced by survival. I felt myself fading too, like chalk on a board that’s been wiped one too many times. So today, I began my goodbye. I pulled faded art off the walls and tucked thirty years of handmade cards into a single box. In the back of a drawer, I found a letter from a student from 1998: “Thank you for loving me when I was hard to love.” I sat on the floor and cried. No party. No applause. Just a handshake from a young principal who called me “Ma’am” while checking his notifications. I left my rocking chair behind, and my sticker box too. What I carried with me were the memories — the faces of hundreds of children who once trusted me enough to reach out their hands and learn. That can’t be uploaded. It can’t be measured. It can’t be replaced. I miss when teachers were partners, not targets. When parents and educators worked side by side, not in opposition. When schools cared more about wonder than numbers. So if you know a teacher — any teacher — thank them. Not with a mug or a gift card, but with your words. With your respect. With your understanding that behind every test score is a heart that cared enough to try. Because in a world that often overlooks them, teachers are the ones who never forget our children.

@AussiePunter32 @traderadio I had never even heard of Young before this trade period. The mind boggles.

@brett_tasker @traderadio Not to mention the fact Aleer is a lot younger than Young and doesn’t have his injury history.

"He probably isn't a priority for us right now. We have Tylar Young coming in to shore up our defence." - Matt Clarke on if they will look at Leek Aleer

@AussiePunter32 @traderadio How’s his poker face. Surely Richmond asks for more than 41 now that we’re saying Young is our saviour. This guy is hopeless.

@traderadio It frees up Ginbey to go into the midfield or at least to be rotated through there at times. This is utter nonsense from Clarke & the Eagles & they’re ignoring a potential golden opportunity. It would suddenly give us a lot more flexibility to have both Young & Aleer in there.

@KysaiahOwnsU That’s madness. Petracca is not worth what you think.

@adrianbarich It’s called the ‘immaculate chain,’ Barra.

The last player from the Eagles legendary “golden thread”… from the 2018 grand final… has departed the club. Gone - Gov, Vards, Flyin’, Dom. Only 4 players remain from the premiership team… Yeoy, Duggo, Coley and Crippsy.

@traderadio Probably not quite there yet, a few more academy players should do the trick…..

"It's an embarrassment of riches." This list of players that didn't play for Brisbane in their Grand Final win is STACKED 🤯 #AFL | #TasmanButchers

@BigBirdsBigGame First thing tomorrow morning we need to trade 16 in a package deal to Gold Coast. That’s what a savvy club would do.

Tell Starcevich to fuck off then. Simple. Medical reasons to do so, now theres list building reasons to do so.

@nuffingtonpost I have heard the deal has always been Ryan for Collard.

Looks like it’s going to be picks for Liam Ryan. Guessing it will be a second rounder.
