I’m barracking for how many points Carlton can rack up. #AFLBluesCats

#weflyasone Geelong best port by 10 goals. Geelong beat crows by 5 goals. Does that make the Crows twice as good as Port? Hmm makes you think doesn’t it?

Replying to @RubinReport
Hey @RubinReport , I saw your segment on Fox News where you brought up the Seinfeld AIDS Walk episode. What a fitting segment for the times we live in today. I made a short edit on that episode:

Holy Moly. Next to health workers, teachers (and abused check out chicks/chaps) should be next up for medals after all this. What other sector has had to reinvent themselves in five weeks? Nothing but respect for what Australian teachers are doing.
This is a former headteacher asking education to act as "selflessly" as the health sector. He proposes extended school day, Saturday school and reduced summer holidays. God, this one has made me angry!

Happy Bithday Brandon from Adelaide, South Australia. Here’s a magpie who visits us each day. He too wishes you a great day !!
This is my son, Brandon. Today is his 12th Birthday. I can’t give him the party he deserves but Brandon loves geography. He would love it if you would RT or reply where you are so he can mark it on his map.

"We were caught off guard by an unexpected, turbulent storm. We've realized we're on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other." vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

Do it for the cider
Just when I'm feeling blue about the state of things, an old friend reminded me of something that Martin Luther said: "Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree....because it's a good thing to do." Off to do some planting!
Great to see Kyrgios enjoying his tennis. Team environment seems to help him be less self centred. Hewitt doing a great job with him and the team. #ATPCup #TeamAustralia

At the risk of being labelled a wowser, the #KFC ads are not okay esp for a young audience, many of whom would be watching the cricket. Surely there are creative people @KFC who can make clever ads that aren’t suggestive, crass or play on swear words. Poor form. #BBL2019 @7Sport
