I'm sure someone's already mentioned it but by far the best Macklemore controversy to me is when he was going to perform Same Love at the NRL grand final and Peter Dutton said that for political balance an anti-same sex marriage song should be played as well.

I really need journalists to learn that every time OpenAI or Anthropic or xAI says that their model has broken containment and could destroy humanity that it’s a marketing pitch by companies running out of cash with high overheads and no profitable business model wanting more investment.

Newcastle Jets will now have a 4 week break with no football to stew on a 7-1 loss to Kashima Antlers.
Then it's a home match against Gamba Osaka.
The APL need to fix this ridiculously long off-season problem.

That was a debacle.
Grasping for positives, the subs in the 2nd half added some spark that lead to the goal. They had some good periods where they, if not controlled, held Kashima.
However, every time the #NewcastleJets had a bit of possession, a cheap turnover would lead to a goal. #ACLElite

A first half to not just forget but to lament. Having a lot of squad turnover and just the one competitive match since the end of last season is really showing.
Fingers crossed for an improved second half.
