November 25, 2019 was the first day of the trial of the State of WA vs Bradley Robert Edwards. A bit has happened in between. One year on, to the day, these arrived from the printers. Looking forward to some feedback — I think: subscriber.thewest.com.au/en… – at Perth, Western Australia

Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

JUST IN: Crows defender Max Michalanney will miss the start of the 2027 season after his one-match ban for striking Charlie Cameron was upheld at the AFL tribunal. The incident was graded as intentional conduct, medium impact and body contact. Adelaide was unsuccessful in arguing that it was not a strike but a push.

Wharfie Time is in.
AFL approves @freodockers to use it once - and must be after they’ve kicked a goal.
So, in theory, could be used with 3 mins left in a close game - same style as has been used at Optus.

This is how you handle a Trump supporter (what’s left of them) . Each week, more and more Americans are jumping off the Trump train. Because they’re waking up .

Right now, more than 5,000 sailors and Marines are stuck aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the ninth month of a deployment that was supposed to last seven, supporting military operations against Iran that Congress never authorized.
Their families are begging someone to listen.
Moldy showers, broken toilets, no hot water for weeks, meals that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas.
A ship’s store out of soap, deodorant, and toothpaste.
Sailors so worn down that, according to one family member, the ship’s own doctor warned they need to reach port soon or people are going to start losing their minds.
Back in April, when families first raised the alarm, Pete Hegseth dismissed the reports as fake news. These are the people we ask to serve in one of the most dangerous workplaces on Earth, the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
They, and their families, deserve answers. ms.now/news/conditions-safet…

It’s been a mad 15 years. It’s had everything thrown in there, from the highest highs to the lowest lows (on and off the field 😜).
My time was up, and no one was going to be able to make that decision other than me.
But in the meantime, I just want to say I ❤️ every single England fan and every single cricket fan who’s supported me over the years.
I ❤️ every single person I’ve walked out onto the field with representing England.
I could go on and on, but I hope you get the gist of how much I loved doing what I did for 15 years.
I’m looking forward to being a fan and supporting the team, and the odd day in hospitality won’t go amiss 🤣.
Family, friends, teammates, fans… I ❤️ yas all.

There is no F—king way Trump is getting out of this one.
He falls asleep at the loud and exciting Knicks game, and then jolts awake suddenly.
What a low energy, sleepy, old man.

When I was a reporter at the @postandcourier, I covered Elias Irizarry case. He was a cadet at the Citadel, and was kicked out of the senior military college’s Republican Society post-Jan. 6.
When I called him for comment, he gave the phone to his mom.
