Yikes. Depends on the day. This morning I'm going to say:
3. Songs in the key of life
2. Ziggy stardust
1. Let it be
with no conviction at all. Superb list.

When asked about her cartoon and the Sydney Morning Herald's decision to apologise on her behalf, Ms Wilcox sent an abusive email. "Why in God's name do you think I would answer the questions of Murdoch's petty little propaganda operation, to give them more fuel for their campaign of hatred?" she said. "The irony of me having to answer to charges of hatred when your grubby outfit gives not one shit about what you do to people you target. "Remind the boss about how much they cared about free speech when one of theirs was in the spotlight. Political correctness gone mad, eh? You and your hit squad goons can fuck right off."

Sublime.

I've got a number of people in my office all cursing that "the hyperwealthy pedophilic genocidal dickweeds are winning?!?!" whenever another bad news story breaks. Thanks @davemilbo.bsky.social, you're an inspiration to us all.

Superb

A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

Who knew 1970 was such a stellar list?

3. Let it be
2. Bitches brew
1. Man who sold the world

Bowling rotations. It was thought that Australia were going to be bowled out a few overs prior. The commentators talked about it incessantly during the match.

First ever Park Run. And a PB 5k for the junior one. Very exciting.

Spent my Saturday on the couch watching every ball of #TheAshes test with my kids. Reckon we'll all be talking about that kbock for a long long time.

The winner is clearly the avalanches, right? I mean, everyone let me down in the last poll when amnesiac didn't win but I digress. This is stilll my favourite thing on bluesky, despite other voters letting me down...
3. Since I left you
2. Kid A
1. Felt Mountain

Beijing's tap water museum has been one of my favourites.

Surely they should have played the live version. #hottest100

We got there, finally.

I'm right there with you. So meh. Good to see someone else on the bandwagon. Or off it as it may be.

The ultimate eyewitness account, in stereo. The reporter - any reporter - will never top this.

Soundgarden, you say? Hell yes.

3. Burden in my hand
2. Spoonman
1. Pretty Noose

I wish our leader would do the same.

A batsman by any other name Why language matters in sport

Today in my newsletter I'm exploring the importance of language in sport and wading into the battlefield of the "gentlemen's game" of cricket to take a look at why the language we use across both men's and women's cricket matters

Attendance record at the MCG 23,561 for the two days of the test so far.

Without my glasses on I’m not 100% sure, but I think this is the number of catches England has dropped this match.

The movie poster from David Lynch’s Blue Velvet, which shows Isabella Rossellini laying back in Kyle MacLachlan’s arms. It is a dark scene, like it is shot in a dimly let room, however in this satirical version, Rossellini has been replaced by Bluey’s mum, Chilli. Chilli is looking away absently, distant from the intimate embrace of her young lover. Perhaps she is wondering when the robins will come. Perhaps she is wondering what chaos awaits her return home to her family, or how a twist of fate has found her in this conflict between the dizzying abandon of this dream state and the secure mundanity of her routine suburban existence. The movie title in flowing yellow script reads, “Bluey Velvet”

If David Lynch made children’s cartoons.

That's a relief, given the content of all your amazing writing, I do fear for your mental health. Appreciate you putting your body on the line for all your non-cathartic moments.

God it was so nice to have an iconic genius old man die and not have to go through discourse about loving his work even though he did sex crimes or punched his wife
