Billionaires are not “scared” and are not “bending the knee.” Billionaires are being freed from the shackles of needing to pretend to care about other people.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Brady is 2-0 against him in the playoffs and never, ever played the worst game of his career in the Super Bowl. He made 10, won 7, and was in all 10. Mahomes just shat the bed in the biggest game of his career. Mahomes has to surpass every Brady record SIGNIFICANTLY to ever be in the conversation.

ESPN Research: The Eagles blitzed Patrick Mahomes on zero of his 42 dropbacks. Mahomes is the 6th QB in Super Bowl history to not be blitzed a single time. All six QBs lost.

Kendrick staring down the camera at Drake, calling him a paedophile, during Not Like Us at the Super Bowl. AND Mahomes/KC getting obliterated when attempting the 3-peat and ending the ludicrous, absurd Brady comparisons despite being nowhere near him? Best*. Super Bowl. Ever.

I am often accused of being too emotional when reporting on politics - but I would rather have a human emotional response than pretend this is just 'reshaping US policy in the Middle East'. It's ethnic cleansing and the end of the rule of law. And the Australian government has said nothing

Some moronic holy war for the land was always the plan. Millions of average citizens globally protested this for over a year, and leaders/media committed genocidal war crimes with glee over land for money. So many people voted for this. So many people of power and influence chose it. Enabled it.

Just an awful choice.. Melbourne is great, the MCG is not for rectangle action. One thing you should probably get right for a game/event of this scale? The venue. Or, more specifically, the venue being the correct shape.

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

If multinational companies operating in Australia paid their fair share of tax, and if just a small portion of that money went to the arts, we could support great cultural institutions and fund our artists to create new work. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/886841...

Bigger defensive players, mostly LB’s, NEED to stop mindlessly launching into ballcarriers already in the grasp of their teammate - almost always leads to friendly fire injuries and is always unnecessary. Lions about to lose Robertson to it, and their title hopes with him.

The wildfires and the genocide raise the same question: how much pain and suffering are we willing to inflict on ourselves, each other, and our world before we do anything different? How bad does it have to get? I deeply fear the answer to that question.

I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.

Cricket getting a taste of the NFL catch rule.. yes, the ball touched the ground, but the ball was IN control when it touched - should be play on from there. Sadly not to be - might be something cricket needs to look at (and likely hasn’t had to before). India get lucky here.

Yay for the team I follow, but it’s just so fucking ridiculous that this is not for next season, but the one after. Thompson plays a season with a foot out the door, and any actual excitement for him or his new club and their fans is completely neutered for a year. Such a stupid system.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department
