Not a fantastic update to have to share first up – seems like delayed starts are the trend in Australia’s matches today. Rain also delayed the start of the Australian Men’s team’s game against New Zealand earlier today! News from the ground is that the rain isn’t heavy and people are walking around without umbrellas, but it is continuing to fall at the moment. We will keep you updated!
Hello and welcome, wherever you’re joining us from around the world! Continue reading...

People keep "debunking" the claim that Charlie Kirk wanted to stone gay people to death but I'm pretty sure he meant it.
![She's not totally wrong. […] The first part is Deuteronomy 6:3-5. The second part is Leviticus 19. So you love God, so you must love his law. How do you love somebody? You love them by telling them the truth, not by confirming or affirming their sin. And it says, by the way, Ms. Rachel, might want to crack open that Bible of yours, in a lesser reference — part of the same part of scripture is in Leviticus 18, is that thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death. Just saying. So, Ms. Rachel, you quote Leviticus 19, love your neighbor as yourself. The chapter before affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters. Now, so how do you best love somebody? You love them by telling them the truth. Don't be cruel […] I would love for Ms. Rachel to respond to this: Is pride a Christian value? She thinks it is. Happy Pride Month everybody! […] In fact the Scriptures tell us the opposite. "Pride goeth before the fall."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76trmiofvaxxpvx2vnb2vwf/bafkreigz33xmlq2bypmg55jsxb6cymen7agrv46klrgri6nbsagdul643y@jpeg)

The most maddening thing is that it would be perfectly fine to write "9News reporter shot by police" because it is it accurate, true and backed up by the video footage.
Even *if* the cops want to claim it was accidental, to word "shoot" says nothing about intent.
We're using passive voice to lie.

This vile coward defended her own swim coach after it was revealed he sexually assaulted her teammates. Simone Biles stood up to the man that systematically sexually abused her and her teammates.

A landmark piece of Australian journalism. The headline makes it sound like it’s about one person. It’s an exposé of ongoing medical bias against half the population. www.theage.com.au/national/the...

More than 1800 women told us their stories of medical misogyny. Today we begin sharing those stories and building the case for change.
