The question as to why that first Test should be held at Perth rather than the Gabba has one compelling answer - the weather. There are currently 20,000 shell-shocked English fans wandering around Perth in comfortable 22C heat.

The forecast for the first day of December says it will be 39C!

I am most encouraged by this news - it was the day that Tony Abbott announced that he was granting a knighthood to Prince Philip that his fate was sealed.

It doesn't matter how many medals they wear, clowns are still clowns

It's been over ten years now, so @messyjez.bsky.social thought it was time to sit down @guerillahendo.bsky.social & the bear to talk us through the ups and downs of the last decade of Guerilla Cricket.

This is actually the first Sussex game I have been able to get to in 60 years. Last time I watched Ted Dexter and John Snow were playing. Delighted to be hearing you, and that Sussex haven’t lost a wicket since I arrived!

One major unresolved matter for AI is, "How accurate is it?"

The attached contradictory answers to the same question, "Which is further north, Birmingham or Cambridge uk" both appeared atop the same Google search page.

It's pretty basic stuff, but it seems AI is totally untrustworthy.

It feels like it's 2022 all over again. Didn't we already vote out the mysoginistic, arrogant, self-entitled, corrupt, and incompetent fools. But STILL they throw back at us the same shit from Dutton, Fraser, Cash, McKenzie, Hastie, Joyce at al.
No policies but hate and division.

It’s my book launch on Monday 28th April (5 days) and so I’ll be posting a bit about it for the next week or so!
Nervous, excited, overwhelmed- I’m all of these things plus a few more.

Oh, well this is rich: Trump’s “tariffs guru,” Peter Navarro, wrote an entire book based on the philosophies of a person who DOES NOT EXIST!
Navarro made him up, and gave him a fake name — Ron Vara — which is an anagram for Navarro. Trump, the chump, hired him based on … nothing. And here we are!
