Surely the highlight of the @maxrushden.bsky.social volley footage is the ice cream van sound track in the background?

Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

The manifesto makes a straightforward case that government and Silicon Valley power must be fused in order to defend Western values - which are superior to others - with hard rather than soft power. For many, this sounds like techno-fascism.

Should Arsenal buy a striker?

Alejandro Garnacho completed more passes to Manchester United players tonight than he did in his last three Manchester United appearances

I’ve coughed up things more threatening than the Chelsea attack.
The ludicrous approach of repeatedly buying players from mid table mediocrity has got us…….solidifying into mid table EPL mediocrity.
BlueCo are disgraceful cowardly and stupid.

What is the point of having Garnacho on the field? Adds nothing. Does nothing.

“Offside trap or back three?”

I just think I should be able to attend a World Cup game in the United States for less money than it would cost for me to fly to Europe and watch a Champions League match, airfare, hotel, and tickets included.

Typical entitled filth from Real post match. Absolutely awful

What a ridiculous half of football. More please!

Huge huge huge congratulations to Barry for his fantastic running achievement and fund raising. What. A. Man.

Get rid. Total dross.

Yep!

Thank you 🍒

Foot stuck? Just keep singing!
Strangely professional from #TISM

Why does Diego Simone always disappear down the tunnel? Even when his team achieves a great result?

Double Dragon move The Elbow. Unstoppable. Devastating.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will deliver an address to the nation tonight, outlining the government's response to the Middle East conflict and encouraging Australians to "play their part". He is expected to urge Australians to save fuel for areas and industries that "most need it". The address will be simulcast on television and radio across Australia at 7pm AEDT.

people simply love it when you storm out of the gates to support an illegal war, then lecture them about personal responsibility after it makes their lives worse

Cavalry rescues Socceroos in second-half blitz Australia 5 Curacao 1 We had been thoroughly entertained by Cameroon and China in the early evening fixture of this FIFA Series double-header; now it was time for the main event. The Socceroos look…

Please remember this game without rose-tinted glasses. The @socceroos.bsky.social were 30 minutes from a very different outcome, but their knights in shining armour showed up to change the game completely. A fitting farewell ahead of the FIFA World Cup in June.

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

"please rate your purchase experience"

absolutely not, I paid in currency for goods or services which you then delivered, I do not need to validate your weird need for validation afterward

Maybe don’t take off a defender for Garnacho when your team’s on the ropes, Liam…

Ha! It’s the night for it 💙

Barcola can never finish but of course he hits a thraker against us

accuracy of advice provided to the Cabinet under their names. Those were and are requirements of the principle of Cabinet solidarity. But that does not mean that the presenting and portfolio ministers were (or presumably are) expected to examine or interrogate each proposal they brought to Cabinet with the time, skill and insight of the departmental experts whose role it was to ensure that the NPP complied in all respects with Cabinet requirements. If the department failed to ensure that an NPP was compliant, the presenting minister and to a greater or lesser extent the portfolio minister were ultimately responsible; but not necessarily, if at all, because of any personal failing on the part of those ministers to do what was to be expected of a competent minister in the presenting or portfolio minister’s position. Neither presenting ministers nor portfolio ministers had or presumably have the time, or in most cases ability, to reinterpret or re-examine matters covered in the checklist; especially the question of whether legislation is required. Ministers were, and presumably still are, expected to and did rely on the warranty of the secretaries of the departments who had signed off on their Cabinet submissions.

NACC lets Morrison off the hook, believing Ministers shouldn't be expected to "examine or interrogate" new proposals like Robodebt. They say Ministers also don't have the time or ability (??) to ensure programs are compliant with the law.

What...do they think we're paying these people to do?

Seeing that handling on display, will Kinsky be able to catch the plane home?

Kinsky having a Karius. Actually no worse than that
