Even downdetector won’t load for me to check what’s up. Guess somethings happening with cloudflare

Eden Park shouldn’t host cricket anymore. Its embarrassingly small boundaries are just cheapening the record books without any test of skill or power

With the amount of hype driving the (sensible) preparations, should it not really eventuate you would not want another one for a very long time as complacency from the current event would be a huge issue

Increasingly likely that Alfred is going to be a bit of a fizzer by the time it finally does cross the coast. Lost a lot of momentum and energy in the last 24 hours, arrival been pushed back 36 hours from original estimates and now over cooler waters

Here’s why some people still evade public transport fares – even when they’re 50 cents Neither lowering fares or simply increasing enforcement can solve fare evasion alone. Investing in better services and winning public trust are just as important.

The argument that the 50c (or any free tapping/ticketing system) is required to monitor usage seems trivial. There’s more advanced ways of monitoring passenger movements now with CCTV

I did wonder what the bullshit on the front of the days Courier Mail was relating to #isittrueordidyoureaditintheCourierMail

Just casually tried to reconfigure my whole Plex server setup while procrastinating putting my luggage in the ride to the airport

Best tip I have for people flying with ADHD: take the earliest flight possible. Less shit to sidetrack you and go wrong!

Thanks AirNZ. Would have even taken an earlier option but none were available so why even mention it? Remove it from your template!

Upset that someone finally had the guts to challenge some of the narrative and it wasn’t a “journalist”? On one had we have media orgs asking for handouts from us and on the other they don’t really provide anything other than puff pieces full of opinion. Somebody has to hold (all of) them to account

Peter Lalor dumped by SEN over Palestine posts SEN Radio has dumped cricket journalist Peter Lalor midway through the Australia v Sri Lanka test series, after the commentator reposted several news stories about the Israeli-Palestine conflict.Lalor...

The sound of his voice made people unsafe? From commentating cricket? That’s some powerful Illuminati level lobbying if ever I saw it. mumbrella.com.au/peter-lalor-...

The lobby wins another scalp Peter Lalor is a first-class journalist and brilliant human being

And after 16 years, 20k+ tweets and some good chats & friends along the way, it’s gone. Pity about the dumpster fire in the end. Miss the bird times

Sheesh could be tough going then. I have no skin in the game so not fussed either way who wins or not but setting up that ahead of your next match doesn’t seem like a good long term plan. Australians love to have a villain!

Yeah totally agree. I think next match for her will be even tougher in terms of having the crowd on side. Wouldn’t be surprised if they put it on the smallest of the main courts

Didn’t see any booing or jeering for Danielle Collins until she started taunting the crowd after winning. Yes the crowd was very pro Aiava (which I guess struck a nerve), but not anti her until her carry on #AUSOpen

Now to start moving some of the twitter follows over to here. Arduous task on a phone though…

Kangaroo Point bridge tower with some lightning illuminated clouds behind

Turns out the new Kangaroo Point bridge is quite the vantage point for city storms (as long as you can stay safe & dry!) #brisbane #bnestorm

As the temperature rises, my already mediocre finishing times do too! #parkrun

I know they didn’t want to refer to these as skeets but im glad the term is gaining traction. All skeet skeet goddamn!

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon will not attend Waitangi at all next year He says he has chosen to take part in celebrations elsewhere.

Not sure why I still remember my #ICQ number - 71268250 but it definitely will be of no use in a months time

But I already have it!

Agree school holidays is the best time for crowds, but domestic cricket isn’t moving the needle in terms of TV rights (perhaps online betting tops that up). Have been involved in high level cricket and seen the scheduling take into account super rugby starting more than anything else

Must be why they usually schedule them so late in the summer - hoping for the rain

NZ Cricket “Don’t enforce the follow on so we can make the match last longer and get more moneys”

Between the scams and unreliable pricks Gumtree and Marketplace are a shit way to sell things these days. Bring back the trading post or buy sell and exchange!

Rainy low 20’s are preferable to humid high 30’s for me. Except when the dog want to go out #brisbane

Hello 2024! A new year, a new social! Here’s hoping it sticks around and doesn’t degenerate like some others!
