Apparently it’s International Day of People With Disabilities today.
So with that in mind, here’s one in particular who is truly loved by me, her mother, her little family and anyone lucky enough to know or meet her ❤️

30 years ago, the Mirror Ball sessions with Pearl Jam (and Brendan O’Brien) joining Neil Young gave us Mirror Ball earlier in the year (and an amazing tour to boot) and this double A-side of ‘I Got Id’ and ‘The Long Road’.
Without Mirror Ball, Pearl Jam would have split up.

Again, brave words from a treasonous, felonious, murderous and cretinous coward who not only dodged the draft 5 times, but surrendered to the Taliban.

Yes, we got smashed at scrumtime. Doesn't mean there's something wrong with the game.
Penalties against teams losing out in a scrum are primarily safety-based. You can't just wave an advancing scrum that collapses on.
Once you've engaged in the front-row at any decent level, you'll understand that.

‘Rubber Soul’ is 60 years old today.
This was The Beatles ‘post-Dylan’. The time they really kicked on. The eclectic list of songs testament to just how much they had developed as a band.
An incredible album.
How could they possibly top it…?

When to just shut up and keep to yourself.
Imagine blurting this out in public about a former teammate.
Derek Pringle on the late Robin Smith who sadly died the other night.
“Everyone loved him but maybe that caused him to sabotage the relationships that mattered most - RIP mate”.
Godawful.

Why is this murderous, treasonous regime of evil charlatans only doing this at sea? Why not in airspace? Or along the border on land?
Because it is a series of bloodthirsty PR stunts. Much easier than hitting the factories where the drugs are made themselves. They know where they are and do zilch.

This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

At last, someone of Rossy’s vintage and nous is asked the right questions instead of the melodramatic bilge that usually emanates from the scribblers across the ditch instead of here, like ‘we got smashed so the game is broken/ref was rubbish’.
Tired of rugby analysts being happy with a lack of knowledge of the scrums
So I called up a scrum expert to get the verdict on Ireland's Springbok capitulation
TLDR: Ireland shouldn't be worried, but the 'Boks are ludicrously powerful. What makes them so good?

One of the greatest sequels ever made, in my opinion, was ‘A Shot In The Dark’.
Only a director like Blake Edwards could have followed up ‘The Pink Panther’ with something even better like this.
The opening scene alone is just genius. So well choreographed ❤️

George Harrison is 24 years gone today.

I have to say it was a beautiful surprise to hear ‘Beware of Darkness’ at the start of the movie, ‘Weapons’.
