Sale Sharks should change their name to Manchester Rugby. Much more globally relevant in Sport and Culture when you say, Manchester.

https://t.co/vQwhLBYysY Wonderful, thoughtful, inspiring piece from @NickBryantNY He’s right. This appalling tragedy can either unite us or divide us. We must all work to ensure it unites us. It is our collective responsibility. #Bondi #auspol

I’ve covered the aftermath of mass shootings and terrorist massacres, but never before in a setting cherished by so many as a happy place: Bondi.

The many articles by Malcolm Gladwell (like Sacks, a fine essayist) which mixed good reporting with dubious statistical reasoning and misleading claims (e.g., that only practice, not talent, is necessary for achievement, or that IQ above 120 doesn't matter)

There is no evidence of the supermarkets price gouging. Their annual profit is only 3-4%. But Labor needed a scapegoat for inflation caused by rampant govt spending. Jim here is patting himself on the back for fixing a problem that didn’t exist. Totally performative. #auspol

@AndrewVossy It was realistically never a shot, the thing that surprised me was how much the league press took it all as gospel despite almost all the noise coming from league agents.

Some disgraceful right-wing Cookers have disrupted the Welcome to Country at The Shrine this morning. You do realise that indigenous Australians fought in wars and then were denied pensions and even RSL membership? Do you stupid fucking racist cunts understand this? #AnzacDay
