Probably Damian Willemse's worst game of rugby ever. Shouldn't go near the boks if thats how hes going to play.

Stormers having a nightmare today. Playing like its literally a Sunday game. Absolutely piss poor. #Stormers

Liverpool, if you're going to play so shit, please let me know in advance so I don't waste 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back. Thanks. #LiverpoolFC

Controversial take: if Michael Jackson was an up and coming start today, he would never make it big.

The Springboks hardly ever perfrom well when they are the favourties. They always perform best as the underdog. Going down to 14 men was the best thing that could happen to the Boks. Turned them into underdogs and the rest is history! #FRAvRSA

Salah's decision making the last two games has been really poor. Trying to solve his poor run of form by scoring instead of passing to teammates. #LFC #salah

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them. However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest. Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

So so so great to see Ireland getting handed some humble pie by France. "Best team in the world". Really?! #SixNations2025 #IrishRugby #lesblues

Hey @betcoza. I have still not been paid out for my bet on Dricus Du Plessis beating Sean Strickland. I have been informed that it is a "technical error" with no ETA on feedback. What is the issue? And must I resort to reporting your conduct to the gambling board?

Nothing better than seeing Ireland rugby eat some humble pie "no 1 in the world" 🤣

In 2030 for making a Facebook comment that the UK government didn’t like

Irish scrum looking like it's on ice skates. Massive embarrassment for the "2nd" best team in the world.

Voting - heads up for anyone registered to vote at Hyde Park High. There are no Ballot Papers or Voters Roll, and IEC had no ETA on when they will arrive. @IECSouthAfrica what's going on?@MyLeaderNicole

Dit is vandag 41 jaar sedert die bomontploffing in Kerkstraat. Dit is nodig dat geskiedkundige gebeure soos die Kerkstraatbom van 1983 onthou en herdenk word omdat daar vandag ’n eensydige en dikwels verdraaide narratief oor die geskiedenis is. Die motorbom wat deur die ANC geplant is, het op 20 Mei 1983 voor die Nedbank Square-gebou in Kerkstraat, Pretoria, ontplof. Negentien mense is dood en sowat 220 beseer. Die meerderheid van die slagoffers was burgerlikes.

You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes. I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others. I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, both or not wanting sex at all. I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring. She isn't more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing. What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn't stop her being a woman), is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she's done either of those things, or ever wants to. Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib. Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say 'I thought you didn't want to be defined by your biology,' it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don't want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology. It's one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either. Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don't and can't, because we belong to our sex class. Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren't born. Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it. I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have exactly the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety. I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones literally turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies. I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused, and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people. I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength. In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation. I sincerely hope that answers your questions. You may still disagree, but as I hope this shows, I’m more than happy to have this debate.

They knew it would injure kids. The first Pfizer trial on children was on only 1300 kids. Maddie de Garay was one of the 1300. Pfizer was stuck with the extrapolation that 1 in 1300 kids would get an injury like this. RFK: "Pfizer did not report her injury…instead it said, she had a Stomach ache , so that’s what they reported to the FDA, they lied”. Shockingly, according to her mother, Maddie de Garay was IN HOSPITAL when the EUA was approved!

Day 9 of no water. outgoing government @MYANC outgoing premier @Lesufi outgoing mayor @KabeloGwamanda still doing nothing. @JHBWater have 0 reasons for the lack of water.

Jones wins the ball, studs to shin, foul, VAR intervention, red card. Doku wins the ball, studs to chest, no foul, VAR check and no intervention. Make it make sense @Carra23
