Looking at the sign up page, I was expecting some "Under Construction" banners from the mid-90s to pop-up.

A letter to those who taught me my Jewishness, and who now sit on the other side of a deep chasm.

When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love

Not speaking would go against everything I was taught to honour: the righteous among the nations – those who refused to be bystanders to injustice

Have the police said why he was arrested yet? I read the story yesterday and no where did the police say what he's been accused of. I'm hoping they're just not saying yet out of an abundance of caution not to jeopardise these cases.

Sigourney Weaver's parents didn't choose her unusual first name. She chose it herself.

"When I was about 14, I was reading The Great Gatsby and I picked it out of the book," she told talk show host Bob McLean in 1981. "I guess I was bored with my name, which was Susan."

Just read on X that Robbie and Macca are doing the A-League Off Air podcast again this season. No confirmation on if it requires a paid Patreon subscription this time or if it's for free.

After much discussion we’ve decided if we’re gonna do a 25/26 season it’s gonna be a Patreon. Probably around $2 a week. This is as far as our discussions have gone.

Like this post if you’re keen. If you’re not, tough titties!!!

I use Podcast Republic to listen to all my podcasts. I can't see The Second Ball yet when I search using either that name or Round Ball Australia as the publisher. I have no idea how podcasts are distributed but hopefully it will appear eventually.

Screenshot from the Podcast Republic app. Shows the search results for publisher, "Round Ball Australia", being the two podcasts, "Round Ball Australia" and "The Dubcast". (Yes, I gave both 5 stars)!

love to have NWSL's broadcast partner CBS running a whole CarMax ad during a player substitution and proceed to miss an entire goal by KC Current

With Serie A to play a match in Perth, will A-Leagues play a match in Italy? 😉

Sorry, I just needed an excuse to show Jessika Nash and
Jacynta Galabadaarachchi in their awesome US Sassuolo Calcio kits.

Serie A Femminile began last weekend with Sassuolo playing out a 0-0 draw with Juventus.

The price of subscriptions everywhere is getting out of control! I've got a PlayStation Plus subscription which I've stacked over the years from when discounts have been available. Next month will be the first time I've paid in several years and Sony wants $187.95 for PS Plus Extra. That's nuts!!
