A really good interview on the recent Ukrainian battles. Not sure why I hadn’t previously understood that in the rain and high winds no drones operate apart from the fixed wing type, so this is and opportunity for massed assaults to happen

Leading up to the #AFL Geelong v Brisbane Grand Final I’ve just discovered this 2 part podcast on Chris Scott that is probably the most revealing thing I’ve ever heard on him podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

The fact Chris Scott has never won the coach of the year award absolutely makes this award suspect. As a side note King Hinkley has 2.

Leading up to Friday’s #AFL Geelong v Hawthorn game I treated the home and away classic from earlier in the year and wondered who Hawthorn have to stop the speed of Max Holmes. The little hand slap to dismiss Worpel is magic

Apologise that it’s a Murdoch link, but it’s a really good personal insight on the impact last nights booing has on fellow #AFL fans.

A fantastic article that gets to the crux of homophobia in the AFL and how the media is complicit in a conversation that doesn’t address the obvious issue - the men’s AFL is the only major sporting code in the world that doesn’t have an openly gay person. They’re too afraid to come out openly.

@support.bsky.team @bsky.app bring back Mira of Kyiv, (@reshetz) one of the accounts I came here to follow from Musk's absolute sewer. I've never seen her post anything worthy of a ban so if you've responded to troll reports you should probably take a long, hard look at yourselves.
patriark@patriark.bsky.social · last yr.@support.bsky.team The Ukrainian activist and humor account @reshetz (Mira of Kyiv) seems to be suspended/banned. This must be a mistake.
