Did Onana pull a DDT on Mac Alister like he was Jake the Snake??? #LIVAVL

At my local Bunnings, it’s more like salmonella and cockroach. Wash it down with a lukewarm can of Coke from 2018.

Well, we have been offering gifts all game but Martinez has delivered a right royal balls up there. β€œIdiot” is the cleanest thing I can say here. #LIVAVL #AVFC

Not sure why the consternation from the Liverpool faithful. Offside even in the good old days of eyes and flags only. #LIVAVL

Indeed. 81% possession for your boys doesn’t do my BP much good.

Agreed. Guessand running like he’s had a couple of Bunnings’ snags though. Needed to do better.

6am on a Sunday: I’m getting up to watch Villa at Liverpool. If we are winning, it could be noisy early doors. If we are losing, I could be in Bunnings by 7:15. Either wayβ€”up the Villa! β˜•β°πŸ¦

So sad. A kid doing what he loved and now he’s gone. Thinking of the cricket community, the Fern Gully CC, Ben’s friends and family at this devastating time. #BenAustin

Constantine the Great allegedly saw a glowing cross in the sky before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge β€” and decided to rebrand the Roman Empire overnight.

Monday again. The day my bed transforms into the most loyal, understanding place on Earth β€” and my alarm clock becomes Satan’s apprentice. β˜•πŸ’€

Anyway, let’s pretend we’re thrilled to be here.

Currently reading Corpus by Rory Clements β€” Cambridge, 1936. Fascists in the shadows, everyone terribly polite about it.

Like Brideshead Revisited met Tinker Tailor in a smoky pub and decided to start a coup. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ“–

β€œBack when all-black outfits were a lifestyle, not a fashion choice. πŸ–€

No filters, no hashtags β€” just stairs, questionable posing, and the quiet confidence of people who thought they’d invented cool. 😎

Baseball, comedy, and mortality β€” all in one photo.
Lou Gehrig, the Iron Horse who’d soon face ALS, standing with the Marx Brothers β€” chaos, laughter, absurdity incarnate.

A reminder: joy and tragedy often share the same dugout.

β€œHire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”

Sure, Steve. And yet half of LinkedIn still thinks leadership means micromanaging people who know twice as much as they do. πŸ™ƒ

πŸ”₯ Hire brilliance. πŸ‘‚ Listen to it. πŸš€ Get out of its way.

Standing tall against the fading light; a reminder that legacy isn’t about applause in your lifetime, but the shadows you cast long after the sun dips below the horizon.

Every great figure starts as just a person who stood a taller than the fear around them.

April 1912.
A boy sells papers screaming β€œTITANIC DISASTER – GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.”
The crowd buys them, reads them, and moves on.

We haven’t changed much.
Tragedy is still something we consume, not something we confront.

World Series: The billion-dollar Dodgers versus a team built on cold weather, bacon, and polite vengeance. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

If Toronto wins, it’s history.
If LA wins, it’s just Tuesday at the accountant’s office.

Let’s go Jays β€” ruin some Hollywood scripts. ⚾️πŸ₯Ά

✍️ Writers β€” stop playing safe.

Joyce was right: β€œWe must write dangerously.”
If your words don’t make someone uncomfortable β€” including you β€” you’re not writing, you’re reporting.

Bleed on the page. Risk something. That’s the job.

Meet my great-granduncle George.

He’s got that 1900s β€œsurvived two wars, three recessions, and a lifetime of unsmiling portraits” energy.

I can’t tell if I’ve inherited his face or his general disappointment in everything.

Either way β€” respect, G. You wore existential dread before it was cool.
