The whole world needs to ban it.

The rest of the world should follow.
Malaysia and Indonesia become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

Australia should immediately block Grok and X.

Can anyone else near Sydney CBD smell smoke outside?

I had just opened the windows and straight away I could smell of smoke.

Great win by Sydney FC against Macarthur, a 3-0 clean sheet.

They could also be cricket analogies.

A ball is another word for a delivery by a bowler.
Angle of attack: It's to do with the delivery by the bowler when bowling the ball to the batter.

It is easier to warm up than it is to stay cool.

At least the kids understand, or at least tolerate it.

Same situation, only one I can talk to is my Mum (who lives interstate).

One of my uncles is a newbie, converted during his stay at my place for Christmas/New Year. The first game he watched was the Habs v Bruins on Christmas Eve.

At least the sugar-free Zooper Doopers are stocked up in my freezer!

Yet how many did they score?
January 3, 2026 at 2:20 AM
Exactly, which makes the selection for Team USA more ridiculous.
January 3, 2026 at 1:54 AM
It seems to me they don't anyone setting up goals and scoring goals.

Leaving out Robertson, DeBrincat, Caufield, Hutson and Zegras is totally nuts. Scorers are an essential part of hockey.

Macarthur vs Western Sydney Wanderers or Newcastle Jets vs Auckland FC?
