If England continue to be happy with occasionally giving it to the Aussies, they’re never going to win. Australia’s defence has been nigh on impenetrable, especially pitted against England’s lack of last tackle imagination.

Mike Johnson really is vile.

Not many politicians provoke such a reaction in me. Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton are obvious ones that spring to mind.

Just repulsive in the eyes of rational people. Reptilian in their countenance.

Not even just to disagree with, but to actually recoil from.

WALL-E was a fucking warning, not a blueprint!

It’s amazing how utterly inconsequential the human race is. And at stark odds with how important we think we are.

Without offering a shred of evidence I can’t help but wonder how many other self-absorbed dominant species have consigned their version of our planet to ruin…

I’m suspicious now about how weirdly prescient Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World were.

I think they were time travelling. So where are all the present day novelists time travelling to help us understand the next future?

If there are none then that means there’s not much of a future :\

I expect by the end of the Premier League season Slot will be replaced by Nuno, Dyche will end up at West Ham and Slot at Forest. Possibly a wild Gerrard will appear for a couple of months somewhere in between.

Good decision by Aston Villa to ban Israeli fans. They presumably saw what happened in Amsterdam and could read the will of their fans/the mood of the nation.

And apparently Starmer actually wants to encourage violent flashpoints into footy games?!

And now the Tories care about footy fans 🤣

The federal LNP had their arses handed to them because of vacuous identity politics. Honestly, what’s changed since Ley assumed control?

Not only that, the Qld LNP shitshow is simmering quite nicely.

They can’t help themselves.

Who does this vile divisive Yankie hatred appeal to in Australia?

Three English teams in action tonight in the Champions League. 33 starting players.

4 English. 8ish %.

Dunnit it make yer proud?

That’s what the game of football is all about. Who can hire the best mercenaries. Fuck cultural clashes, national styles & pride and all that tribal nonsense!

Woowwweeeee! BT’s trademark utterance definitely fits this 4th quarter.

Absorbing first 30 mins of the #AFLGF. I still feel like Geelong will be too good, but the Lions are going toe to toe so far, even with a couple of quiet players.

I think that a brave western media ought to be headlining with the most graphic images of the brutalised victims of Putin and Netanyahu.

The injured, the disfigured and the murdered.

Force the discomfort of reality onto their consumers.

Thumbs down for the national anthem at games that aren’t the final. It should be a special privilege of the big dance only.

Imagine Dezi Freeman is captured & sentenced. Then imagine the LNP winning power & releasing him, painting him as the victim.

Now imagine hundreds of Dezi Freemans.

Basically what Trump did with the J6 insurrectionists.

Kirk wasn’t brought down by someone who found his racism or misogyny indecent, but by someone who found his levels of racism or misogyny indecent.

Is it the microplastics, chemicals and frankenfood turning Americans demented? WTF is going on? Or are we simply witnessing a standard “empire” falling?
September 13, 2025 at 7:39 PM
I thought little of Charlie Kirk, pre-assassination, other than that he was a right wing talking head.

Now I’ve absorbed some of his opinions I think he was a piece of shit.

I don’t celebrate that he was gunned down, murdered. My heart breaks for his kids. But schadenfreude? Absolutely.

What if I object to current immigration policy yet wish to protest Israel’s treatment of Palestinians? There’s no march that suits!

Presumably the folks that voted for Trump are beside themselves with joy at the amount of “owning the libs” he’s getting through…honestly, I think this is the case, even the ones categorically out of pocket as a consequence.

Under-education, chemical over-exposure & dietary poisoning FTW.

One of the benefits of getting older, I’ve noticed, is the reduced concern for competing with others.

I don’t give a shit if I’m the funniest, fastest, best or whatever so much anymore.

Mediocrity is a place of comfort.

It’s time for the govt to have a referendum on housing & energy prices.

If an unequivocal percentage want direct action, and will vote for it, then that’s a clear mandate to ignore the inevitable banshee shrieking from Newscorp/Seven/Nine and the LNP.

A bonus if Michaelia Cash’s head explodes!

I haven’t lived in the UK for some years now & I’ve just taken a moment to reflect on the fact that the Tory party is led by a black woman, succeeding an Asian man.

Hilarious, on the one hand, to consider the conniptions the old faithful must be having.

On the other hand Farage & Reform benefit.
September 1, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Chelsea vs. Fulham. Goal disallowed by #VAR. Utter bullshit. I can’t watch this game anymore. It’s not competitive sport. It’s pseudo-outdoor-ballet.
August 30, 2025 at 11:56 AM
Fuck “Where’s Trump?”

I WANT THAT CUNT TO BE DEAD.

Die Trump, die (that’s not German either #shamelessSimpsonsripoff).

Gavin Newsom’s mockery of Trump’s social media posts is glorious. So simple and so obvious, in hindsight, that it boggles my mind that it wasn’t tried out sooner.

It’s relentless, hilarious and utterly exposes Trump’s inadequacy and immaturity.
