Headline in Advertiser about missing boys family threatening an uninvited journalist hassling them

Fucking fair enough too I say

Christ, pity the sound engineers too. This was NOT 14 hours one and done, this was scraping for the least-bad takes along the way. Hope it paid well

If they haven’t worked it out at this stage, maybe give someone else a turn. Beyond embarrassing it’s gone this far

Quote from Pauline Hanson saying Barnaby Joyce has ‘a lot to offer in politics’

There you go, proof the #auspol system is broken.
What exactly does he have to offer? Nothing to the electorate, that’s for damn sure. He just sees a chance for some grifting as a redneck Farage. There’s $$$ to be made on the neocon circuit

My vote for the wedge tailed eagle in the Bird of the Year poll

Sadly the Peregrine Falcon has fallen out of polling. I’ve upsized and voted for the Wedgie - and you should too
#birdoftheyear

Interlull hypothetical for you @arseblog.com & @gunnerblog.bsky.social:
If Arteta quit tomorrow and you had the choice of Iraola coming in with Semenyo, or Glasner arriving with Wharton…who’s your pick?

⚽ On the ball - 12/10/2025

I guessed the player in 2 guesses

Top 59% of players today

Went for a hero ball, was a bad decision. Oops

They announce this the day before?! JFC. I’ll just be watching YouTube highlights I guess, just can’t be arsed with another subscription, esp one that treats customers like shit

Australian bird of the year 2025: vote for your favourite #birdoftheyear in the Guardian / BirdLife Australia poll From little penguins to (very big) cassowaries, every bird has its fans. Vote for your favourite in the 2025 Guardian/BirdLife Australia poll

So many awesome contenders. The Peregrine Falcon has my vote

Distribution I think. Not a bad call, don’t mind that. Think we need Frida on at the break though for Pelova for a bit more bite in midfield

I was lucky enough to buy tickets for England v China in the Women’s World Cup. Not ONE THING Fifa claimed would happen with on sale dates, times etc actually happened. Pure fluke that I saw a post on the nazi site alerting me. Fucking shambles all told (then both Beth & Leah injured anyway!)

Triassic 5

Properly broke my brain when it came out, and still my favourite album of all time.
Great choice.

Los Lobos' Steve Berlin Labels Paul Simon a 'Jerk,' Alleges 'Graceland' Snub

It was the first record I bought with my own money.
But then my FNM fandom led me to checking out Steve Berlin and I found this…

Headline in Guardian Australia about MPs lawyers trying to reduce his rape sentence due to ‘fall from grace’

So guys, how does get fucked sound?

“Make sure you try the slow roasted baby panda guys. It’s just divine”

This is where things get weird. Rupert HATES the ABC.
But Trump is suing Rupert for a bajillion dollars or whatever.
Hard to know where to look some days

Dear CEOs everywhere:
We see your ‘transformation’ and absolutely know you mean ‘job cutting’.
In the same way you see ‘AI’ and manage to read it as ‘free labour’.
We’re not dumb

If only any random 16 year old on an internet forum was consulted. That’s a criminal amount to spend on an obvious DOA product

Jingoism. The weaponisation of the phrase ‘un-Australian’ to mean I (personally) don’t like something - and will fight it.
Not as big as some policies, but a notably nastier tone set

WSL TV Picks for October announced The WSL television selections for October have now been announced, with both Arsenal Women’s games for that month selected and altered for TV. The trip to Manchester City will now take place on Saturd...

The question is, will it actually be watchable?!

If the BBC broadcast is working, be nice if they’d serve that to everyone for the second half, instead of this hot mess of freezing, skipping and distorted out of sync commentary.

But but but…cost cutting and something something shareholders!

Anfield chanting ‘Champions’ against #Arsenal, and I’m genuinely shocked to discover they were so invested in the Emirates Cup

Not sure this is even plausible, but something for passes NOT played that would have been high xG. Esp in the final third, identifying opportunities being missed (key passes not played, KPnP?) so we can see where efficiency in attack is actually there if we use it? On TV I feel I don’t see it all

Somehow Chelsea just get more and more unlikeable

VAR screwed him, but refs need to be able to back themselves. This is the culture PGMOL and the media have created: everyone’s scared to make a decision and be wrong. Fans suffer because the game gets worse

Is the Premier League really going to sit and let PGMOL ruin their product? That was fucking ridiculous by #VAR, complete over reach
#CHEvFUL

Absolute classic. Saw it as a kid, showed my kids. The more who see it the better

That promo was the first it’s been so much as mentioned. Good news though
