My biggest takeaway? The desire to thank

for his performance as Cyborg. It was compelling, and in particular his physicality in the role was eye-catching and scene-owning. I truly enjoyed it. Thank you, sir.

I turn 42 in April.
I'm notoriously bad at math, but even I can see that's half my life spent at the one newspaper.
Here they are but, quick summary: I enjoyed it a lot more than I'd expected, and came away convinced WB should have stayed the course and released this as planned.

All those peddling any form of racism, from casual on up, should be utterly ashamed of yourselves for adding hate to a pandemic.

Eloquence, poise, thought, maturity, strength, self-insight, compassion. That's my friend Demi, regardless of what
@RheaRipley_WWE
does or does not do on screen. Kindness costs nothing, people.
Hi, Demi here…. Ya know, the real life human inside Rhea Ripley.
Just wanted to point out that WRESTLERS & any form of ENTERTAINER is a real life human off screen.
Don’t wish harm on ANYONE.
Don’t wish for anyone to be BURIED.
Don’t wish for anyone to be FIRED.
F’N disgrace.

The fact killer carer Rosa Maria Maione is about to be sentenced, for the manslaughter of Annie Smith, in a court room that is wheelchair inaccessible says a lot about the circumstances and context of this case.

My deepest condolences to his family, loved ones and friends. This is a heartbreaking loss. I will forever treasure his work, his example and what I learned through his performances.

@SAHealth
for not only this chart of our state's restriction-easing plan, but for all you've done to manage this crisis.
So you say you don't need

Permit me to challenge that stance, using one city over just the past 72 hours. [Thread]
Forces a handshake from a clearly traumatised woman. Goes on to force one from a resting volunteer firefighter. Walks away from both amid calls for greater assistance. This is, apparently, Australian leadership in a time of crisis. Shameful.

Ever have one of those moments on social media where you feel like responding to someone's shade, then look at their follower count and realise doing so will just fulfill their actual goal of negating their own growing irrelevance?

Submissions like these are precisely why so many people feel re-victimised by the court process, and why they need public understanding, empathy and support. If counsel is "just doing its job" then it's on all of us, post-conviction, to do ours and back survivors.
1. Had my own TV series, based on my book.
2. Commentated the first-ever Australian-produced wrestling pay-per-view alongside

3. Wrote an article that gave a long-silent sex abuse survivor a voice, leading to legal change that kept his tormentor in jail.
