I feel like she still has a tendency to get out to rash T20 type shots. But when you're that talented you have to make it interesting for yourself. Another few years and she will have worked that out of her game. It will be incredible to see.

Creating a playlist for a friend who is about to turn 30. Plan is 30 tracks I heard before my 30th that have stayed with me. I’m struck by how much of my collection I discovered in my 30s, 40s, and 50s. It seems not all of us indulge in the nostalgia of only listening to the music of our youth.

Post your first record.

Deadwood
The Sandbaggers
Callan
Dangerman - early half hour episodes
The Prisoner - original UK series, not the awful US remake

That was a hell of a thing to watch. And she took the first catch off Schutt as well.

Many years ago a branch of the Deen family ran a takeaway near the Mt Gravatt mosque. Fabulous food. On the wall was a large photo of a cake with an iced scene - a wrecking ball hitting the Cloudland arch. Took pride in their work.

I've watched that video so many times over the years. A great reminder that most people are genuinely good. You just know that he would have spent the rest of the day helping his mate's mum clean up the mess.

I'm an economic ignoramus and I've been wondering how bad it gets when the AI bubble bursts and Trumps insane policies really bite. I imagine you guys who know this stuff must be really horrified.

Canadians have done well to relocate the Matterhorn. Clearly enterprising people!

Always thought that drums were important in evaluating stereo speakers. On good recordings the kick and snare will sit nicely in the mix, the toms will resonate, and the hi-hat and ride will sound like real metal. Ride played by Morello, DeJohnette, or Christensen really shines on great speakers.

And for the sexists who resist the change to Batter and Fielder in cricket, why didn't they have Bowlsman and Wicketkeepsman?

I think they could have mounted some sort of public good defence. They did, after all, reveal The Word to the listeners.

So you're not going to buy some of that FBI Director merch from his Amazon store?

For those of us who aren't economists, are we about to witness a rerun of 2008 or 1929 or are we in uncharted territory?

And she falls for the classic right-wing misconception that all musicians and actors are fabulously rich. Her mother works the European opera circuit and her father was a small time theatre actor who now manages his wife's career. Hardly the stuff of intergenerational wealth.

The past is immutable. Take lessons from past events, but don't fixate on them. Also, pessimism is a corrosive choice. Choose to believe that a better future is possible and work toward that.
