The AUKUS-brigade must be crushed as a wave of US-Australia mutual fandom/appreciation breaks out on the streets of Melbourne - and across the US-Australian internet.

By the way, Qantas (airline that flew the 49ers to Australia) stands for “Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services” 🤯

Volcanic ash has covered parts of Jakarta after Mount Anak Krakatau erupted off the coast of Java. 🌋 The volcano, whose name means “child of Krakatau,” sent ash toward the Indonesian capital, coating aircraft, vehicles, and surfaces in a layer of grey dust. Jakarta’s main airport was closed as the ash cloud disrupted aviation operations. Volcanic ash can severely damage aircraft engines and reduce visibility for pilots, making flying through affected areas hazardous. 📸: @Fahadnaimb
Hundreds of flights at Jakarta’s main airport have been canceled following the eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Anak Krakatau, as a volcanic ash cloud spreads across the region. AirNav radar data shows that air traffic to and from Jakarta effectively stopped at around 01:00 local time, when the last arrivals and departures were recorded. Nineteen Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights are among those affected, with the ash cloud disrupting aviation operations across the Indonesian capital.

That is, sadly, what the Russian mind, heart, and will is all about. They are essentially a cruel, heartless people who justify any inhumanity they inflict as part of manifest destiny to rule the world as the Third Rome.

Great work, @realDonaldTrump!
The national average price of diesel has skyrocketed to $5.82 per gallon. This sets a new record for the most expensive price of all time.

No. Putin learned the limits of U.S. pressure under Obama. 2009: Obama’s team pressed the “reset” button with Moscow, betting engagement could improve relations. 2013: Obama drew a red line on Syria. Assad crossed it. Putin stepped in. 2014: Putin annexed Crimea. 2015: Russia entered Syria and expanded its regional leverage.
Do you remember when we had a strong President who knew how to deal with Putin? I do.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Patrick Dangerfield ranks No. 7 of the good. "One of the best players on the Geelong Cats, which essentially is a suburb of Melbourne and is home to my favorite team in the AFL since I learned about the sport two days ago." si.com/nfl/49ers/onsi/good-n…

I hope @nflcommish appreciates that the 49ers are spending a full week at public events and interacting with locals in Melbourne, doing the NFL’s ambassador work. The team does seem to be enjoying the people there. The Rams are the “home team” and the party responsible for requiring the 49ers take that lengthy trip (and we all know why), and they’ve done exactly jack squat to sell the NFL brand or connect with Australians. Fly in, fly out, no contact. I’m sure the Aussies feel great about that snub. Fail. It’s going to be heavily red in the stands again.
