Happy one year on oestrogen day to all who celebrate.

Spoiler alert: It's me.

I've got some news to share as I continue my journey of self-discovery towards being my authentic self. It hasn't been easy and I felt keeping it under wraps for a while was the safer option, but the time feels right.

I can tell you without any shadow of a doubt that the loser is football.
It’s OFFICIALLY a FIFA World Cup year 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽

Drop your never too early who’s winning it all predictions ⤵️

Also, this is the tweet that they selected as a key example of my antisemitism. Need I say more?

I am sick. This was not a good idea as I found out very early into our recording session.
It's a quick episode of The Dubcast this week because Poletti is sick but there was so much #ALW action it would have been unfair to not talk about any of it.

Wtf. Suspend him immediately. I am so sick of these NFL guys getting away with stuff like this with minimal to no consequences.

🇦🇺 Macarthur have drawn 🇹🇭 Bangkok United in the first knockout stage of the #ACL2

The victor will play the winner of 🇻🇳 Cong An Hanoi and 🇸🇬 Tampines Rovers in the quarterfinals.

This means the Bulls would avoid heavyweights, 🇯🇵 Gamba Osaka and 🇰🇷 Pohang until the East Final.

Cardinals can still end the season with more losses (14) than the other 3 teams combined (13).

Are our lawyers and judges and activists up for the fight againt the coming fascist bullshit? Because I know for a fact our journalists are not, and I'm increasingly sus on the unions.
Labor is simultaneously talking about letting CSG, a Zionist security org with close links to the IDF, carry heavy firearms at events in Australia, and also Australians can't protest anymore... What does that feel like?? Seriously?? Anyone that isn't batshit psycho ok with this?

To further this point, so far this season I have been in attendance for exactly one #ALW game, and if an #ALM team didn't play five minutes from my house, that number would be the same. There's only so many games you can go to when you have to work another job to survive. It's unsustainable.
Btwn laying off media staff, or sponsors only wanting to fund retired players/huge outlet while refusing to support smaller/independent media:this will happen frequently for wcbb, woso & WNBA and NWSL. Alot of us cant afford to foot our own bilis anymore so we wont be in press conferences/events.

I'll go back and watch this particular clip every couple of months. So many good one-liners in just a couple of minutes, and Ned just completely losing it.
29 years ago today, December 29, 1996, Ned Flanders lost his diddly mind on the town of Springfield. “Hurricane Neddy” first aired on Fox.

Lose to the Chiefs, and the Raiders will draft a QB1 😍
With their loss today, the Las Vegas Raiders now hold the best odds to land the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

My brother has just arrived at the MCG for Day Three, wondering where the game is. These other guys he bumped into are similarly confused. #Ashes 🏏

I've routinely said, the biggest obstacle women's football has to overcome is the men's game, but it can't be negotiated, it's there not just as a shadow but a blueprint shareholders are desperate to follow.

I'll save everyone the threaded rant, as I'm old and tired and retired.

When England last won a test match in Australia in 2011 it'd been 10 years since Essendon had won a final. It's been 15 years since that win by England and Essendon still hasn't won a final 😂😂

Of course Staj is going to say this. He's their coach, but take out the penalty and the xG looks significantly worse, littered with a ton of 0.1xG or less shots. They had 26 shots, and only six on target. His game plan isn't long-term successful, and they're languishing at the bottom of the table.
Western Sydney outdid Adelaide 2.67 vs 0.95 in the xG charts yet found themselves on the end of a 3-2 defeat.

Are Staj's Wanderers on a run of bad luck or are the problems deeper? #ADLvWSW
