    The Lions have a Bluesky account... But they haven't posted on it yet. There is a nice Lions community growing over there and I would encourage anyone on Twitter to check it out. Hopefully once the Lions get their media dept sorted they can post there too.

    Yup. They need to share a very large chunk of responsibility for him winning. I fear they won't learn the lesson.

    Unfortunately this confirms what seems to be a really common theme at the moment... There are Republican voters all over now dealing withe FAFO factor because too often they cruised along without doing any research for themselves. Like the Texan mothers shocked Trump is defunding and closing...

    I hope you are right, but fear you are not. My life has taught me differently to yours... which is what makes the world go around. I saw what hatred he created for people last time that largely went unnoticed but created the environment for what's happening now. With no checks and balances and...

    The sad part is that more of the same wasn't the right answer either - but clearly a less dangerous one for a lot of people. Part of Trumps appeal is he wants to tear the system down. And in a lot of ways he's right. But his priorities in doing so are what makes him wrong. He favours the few...

    Some of his executive orders are mind blowing... The man just wound back 50 years of equal rights for anyone other than a white, straight male. He gave complete pricing control back to the pharmaceutical companies and removed pricing control on things like insulin. He removed the right of...

    And here lets not kid ourselves. It's just that it's never been so blatantly rubbed in peoples faces - or wallets - until now. I just don't know who keeps all of these shit stains in line in any meaningful way or with any sort of consequence.

    The only way that number makes sense is if the proposal sees a consolidation of pretty much all of Brisbane's sporting infrastructure - swimming, basketball, cricket, AFL, athletics etc and possibly Brisbane Arena. The line "and will include the southern hemisphere’s largest sport centre of...

    I'm hoping for the opposite in a way... We've always been a team that's tended to cruise way too often but now they understand the reward for real effort. We know they can do it, they know they can do it. Maybe 2024 creates the understanding of the results of real application now they have...

    I doubt if any of the current Vic Park proposals will be the final once actually...

    Well that's irrelevant really... You simply can't force people to live where they don't want to. And if you think dropping 50 people in a town that's lost 500 or 1000 over 20 or 30 years is going to solve any sort of issues for that town you are a long way off base. The population growth to...

    I'm not sure that's really the answer as someone who actually lives in regional towns can attest. A sprawling urban area isn't the issue - we do genuinely have the luxury of space here - it's what appeals to people. The issue is consecutive short sighted governments who had/have zero desire or...

    Covering the ICB is easier - and I would expect cheaper - than excavating down to get under stadium access. If you are clever you actually create a void with the road cover that means access to under the ground would be at current roadway level off the ICB. The topography does a lot of the...
