Matt Thistlethwaite now speaking on ABC News about getting Australians home from the Middle East hasnโ€™t got a clue what he is talking about and is not answering the questions directly. Useless! #auspol

I think it is concerning that #ABC journalists are too well entrenched in the #Canberra bubble. They have been obsessed all week with the #libspill which arguably is a very little concern to the bulk of Australians. #auspol

#libspill Why bother? #Liberals are pretty much down the drain already.

On another note, I wish the #ABC news channel would stop the blanket coverage. Itโ€™s getting very boring. #auspol

People complain about how much electricity AI data centres use. What about the electricity wasted by the media constantly broadcasting about #libspill an issue which nobody other than the #Liberal members cares about. #auspol

According to a #gemini analysis, Novak Djokovic is projected to win the 2026 Australian Open men's singles title in 4 or 5 sets, securing his 11th Melbourne crown and his 25th Grand Slam title. The Legend Factor remains the decisive variable. gemini.google.com/share/8158ac...

15-0 in sets. Alcaraz isnโ€™t just winning; heโ€™s erasing people. Heโ€™s matching Borgโ€™s peak efficiency right now. Zverevโ€™s tired, and with the air getting heavy today, Carlosโ€™s drop shots are going to be a nightmare. #tennis #ausopen #gemini #ai

Alcaraz is playing video game tennisโ€”15 sets, 0 losses. Heโ€™s matching Borgโ€™s peak efficiency. With Melbourne cooling to 26ยฐC, the heavy air rewards his insane topspin while Zverevโ€™s serve-heavy game might just stall out. Final bound? #tennis #ausopen #gemini #ai

I think the carry on of the conservativs recently endlessly bitching about leadership shows where their priorities lie. Itโ€™s not the people. #auspol #libspill #natspill

At 38, Novakโ€™s basically playing on "cheat mode" right now. ๐ŸŽฎ He just had a 4-day break thanks to a walkover and hasn't dropped a single set. Heโ€™s actually never won a Slam title in years where he got a mid-draw walkover. Is the rest a blessing or a rhythm killer? ๐Ÿโœจย

Alcaraz is on a different planet right now. ๐Ÿช 15 sets played, 15 sets won. Heโ€™s two wins away from a Career Grand Slam at just 22, which would beat even Rafaโ€™s record. Next up? A massive rematch with Zverev. Is Carlitos actually untouchable? ๐ŸŽพ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The stats say Alcaraz is the favorite with that 5-0 record, but the Demon is on home soil and returning like a literal machine right now. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Heโ€™s leading the tournament in first-serve return points won if anyone's going to crack Carlitos' serve, itโ€™s him. ๐ŸŽพ

The Demon on fire! ๐Ÿ”ฅ After crushing Bublik in his fastest AO win ever, Alex de Minaur faces his ultimate boss: Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz leads their H2H 5-0, but he's never passed the QFs in Melbourne. With 44ยฐC heat coming, will the home hero finally break the hoodoo? ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

Evernote is forcing a decision on me As a creature of app habit, Iโ€™ve kept paying for Evernote even as the rates for my note-taking app of choice have increased considerablyโ€“mainly because the new management at that servicโ€ฆ

Fellow #Evernote users: How are you responding to the 92% rate increase coming with your plan renewal? And if you've already noped out, what note-taking app did you switch to, and how did that transition go?

I am moving to Apple notes. OK it lacks many features that Evernote has, but no *additional* financial outlay now and beyond. I guess Evernote figured that they will profit more with only entertaining high paying users.

Alcaraz vs. Paul is a total flip-coin on hard courts! ๐Ÿช™ Even though Carlos has a 5-2 lead overall, theyโ€™re deadlocked at 2-2 on this surface. Tommyโ€™s flat shots usually rush the Spaniard, but Alcaraz hasn't dropped a set all week. Can Paul break the streak? ๐ŸŽพ๐Ÿ”ฅ
