The year 2000, where footy fans could fax their preferred name for the St. Kilda mascot.

Is it fair to compare the dominance of comic book films in the 2010s to disaster films of the 1970s? Or is that being too harsh on Irwin Allen and co?
Recall when this was shown on TV here in Oz in the 90s it was presented in letterbox format which was highly unusual at the time.
The sort of film that requires the best technical treatment.
3AW have always had affinity fir that milleu; recall former Hanson adviser John Pasquarelli being a regular on Steve Price's show during the 1998 election.

Apart from inserting the word 'woke', this is pretty much the same article Steve Price has been writing for the past 25-30 years.
Carlton's 3QT flakiness this season worst I've seen since Richmond in first 6 rounds of 1987.

TGIF is ordinary but watchable. Nobody's Perfekt is inane and dreadful.
Largely true although this era includes the Gabe Kaplan comedy 'Nobody's Perfekt'.

Trump finally releases his healthcare plan.
Haha, loved how they had to put in it being a 'wealthy' suburb.
Nothing more than Arsenal deserve. Been pitiful this half.
Arsenal really lacklustre that first half; lucky to be only 1-1.
Also, admire Bournemouth for sticking to their 1980s logo.
No credit at all to Freo fir how well they defended under enormous pressure all night.
With the way Garry Lyon and co were commentating the match, would've assumed Pies were 12 goal better side tonight.

Didn't give Freo a moment's praise for how well they defended in that first half.
That Daryl Somers promo is the most 1983 thing ever (topped off by Jennifer Beals appearance).
Yeah, afaik his political radicalism period seemed to end once he put his career on hiatus in the mid-70s. A domestic life and the general rightward shift of US society in the late 70s prob turned him in a conservative direction.
Never verified, but speculation has been around for a while that Lennon was a Reagan supporter in 1980. Likelihood of that being true?
After Catherine O'Hara's passing and seeing her great SCTV work, was prompted to watch 'Schitt's Creek' for first time.
Opening episode was solid, but has hit its stride over next few eps and is really likeable and funny. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Happy 20th birthday to Get This! The funniest and therefore greatest show in Australian radio history.
Jeremy Sims?
First time I've heard Leigh Matthews commentate on Fox and no surprise that Mark Howard took barely 2 minutes to be a sycophant towards him.

Don't watch FTA news enough to judge but is Ch 7 even worse than 9 & 10?
The marches had no shortage of skeptics. In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king. "He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said. "And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president." He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr. Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)
But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.
Know they're 2 wins from 3, but don't think North Melbourne have improved at all. That last quarter was appalling.
