Almost zero tolerance. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Wonderful holding off of Chalobah and great dinked finish. More please, GJ9. #ARSCRY

The other repercussions of the Ange situation is a bunch of Aussies declaring themselves lifelong Spurs fans and having to deal with that poor life choice while budgeting for the Bein subscription for Ange's next job at Atalanta or wherever. #TOTCHE

Amaaaazing shithousery by Jorgingo while they get the free kick ready. #WHUARS

"35 minutes of fantasy from Arsenal, who are schooling the Hammers." This is fun. #WHUARS

West Ham defenders had absolutely no idea how to handle that corner routine. So many screening runners. Forget concerns about goalkeepers being impeded. Gabriel had a wall in front of him to keep regular markers well away. Monster Ed. #WHUARS

Why do some matches have to end? #SPOARS

Total masterclass of a first half. Monster goal for the third. #spoars

Sporting badically sitting on their hands for the first six minutes and Arsenal just swarm all over them. #spoars

Exclusive: Saudi Arabia accused of modifying official #Cop29 negotiating text, after tracked changes appear on document.

James Maddison playing like Thomas Broich in his pomp. #mcitot

City just discovered Brisbane Roar football. #mcitot

Still flabbergasted over the deputy Liberal party leader so casually saying supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza was necessary to ensure an ongoing relationship with the United States. Essentially that the deaths of thousands of children is OK because it'll make the US happy.

This is Gaza, once buzzing with life, families, workplaces & schools. Israel has obliterated everything and exterminated over 38,000 children here, kids like yours or mine. Nothing can excuse this amoral contempt for human life.

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

Back in 2012, a bunch of us decided we'd had enough of the way Alan Jones talked about women. We decided to #destroythejoint. Much love to all those women and men who helped. www.smh.com.au/national/i-t...

A genuine relief to see actual human beings in my new follower notifications.

Good gracious, starting from scratch is a pill to swallow. Hello Bluesky. It already looks better in here than Threads, which can mostly be summarised by "I had an encounter with a random stranger who carried a strange grievance. THREAD."
