How is it even close to the meaning of the word it seems to be replacing???

I have no idea unless it’s some kind of filter/plug in/paywall I’m using that’s doing it to get around their paywall.
Take THAT to the spelling and punctuation thread.
(edit: yes, I know it was a typo)
They’ve probably hired one of these new AI journos.
(BTW, when I was younger, “AI” stood for Artificial Insemination , aka “the Government Bull”.)
That is the most “ok boomer” headline I’ve ever read.

I preferred the Greg Sheridan piece about Swift triggering lefties.
This is meant to be a serious newspaper.

Backpfeifengesicht
Have you ever seen someone whose face just… annoys you? Well, the Germans have a word for that in another one of their wonderful compounds.
You could characterize such a mug as das Backpfeifengesicht [ bak -fahy-fuh n-guh -zeekht ]. That translates to a “slap face” or “punchable face.” Backe means “cheek,” and Pfeife means “whistle,” but taken together, a Backpfeife is “a smack in the face.” So, Backpfeifengesicht is “a face that looks like it should be smacked.”

They see the worst of themselves as the best of him.
They are a deluded, narcissistic lot, by and large.

3AW reporting on Sam Kerr’s criminal charge being based on saying “stupid white B-word” to the pommy cop.
I guess the silly bastards wanted us to think the B-word was “beyotch”, or even “bobby”.
(It doesn’t seem very news-worthy, especially when the matter is so urgent the trial will start two full years after the words were said.)

Need to call out the, albeit seemingly rarer by the year, good journalism when it happens too.
Four Corners work on Cranbrook is a very good example of what investigative journalism should be.

It’s like musical chairs. Each one hoping to be the lucky one when he pops off.

I’ll commend 4 Corners for good journalism when and if they ever look outside Snydey for their original investigations.

Chris Masters did one on Essendon doping, nothing on Cronulla or any NRL players.
That or pass the parcel.
Meanwhile, I can’t quite decide whether Rupe’s playing pin the tail on the donkey or bobbing for apples.
