Only three survivors from Fuso in the battle of the Suriago Strait. The ship which actually did most of the damage was USS Phoenix (later the ARA General Belgrano) which battered the Fuso to atoms. She was a very old ship by then. I wrote about it myself 🤗

Just gotta chuckle at the idea that Test match cricket isn’t the pinnacle of the sport. In what universe does ODI or T20 garbage top this format?? 🤣🤣 #SAvAUS

Corporate greed is Microsoft making $134 billion in profits last year, receiving $19 billion in tax breaks under Trump, paying a lower federal income tax rate than a nurse and getting rid of 60,000 workers.
“Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.

This is one of the craziest days of Test cricket I have followed
1. Before play started:
Australia are mad. They have dropped Scott Boland, their best bowler of the previous Test, and have gone with a spin oriented attack.
2. At the toss:
Australia are insane. They have elected to bowl first after including two spinners in their attack.
3. At lunch:
Send for the straitjackets for the Aussies. Ackerman and Makram have smashed the Australian attack to all parts. South Africa are 140-0.
4. Shortly after tea
Send those straitjackets to South Africa. Some reckless batting has let the Australians back into it. 232-6.
5. Just before stumps.
Bad day for Australia after all. Rickelton and Jansen have got the South Africans to 327-6 with 95 run stand. 400 looks possible.
6. At stumps
You know, Australia might not be too unhappy with this. Starc takes the last four wickets for two runs to leave South Africa 329 all out.
Crazy batting by Ackerman, brilliant bowling by Starc, glorious drives by Markram, straight hits by Jansen, dropped sitters by Travis ahead…the day had it all.

Tbf Pat has got his wish by protecting the batting. They won’t have to bat until day three. #cricket

Old MAGA white lady says I should “go back to my own country” if I don’t like Donald Trump’s America.
So, I parked my buffalo in her driveway, set up my teepee on her front yard and said “I’m home, what’s for dinner?”

They should have a rotation between the 4 quicks. They all provide something different. When you think injuries to Hazelwood and Cummins have been a growing concern he’s always there to help out.

Let me get this right - in the last week we’ve seen cars washed away in Chile,
Istanbul, Turkey and now São Paulo, Brazil.
And no media is joining the dots @bbcnews @itvnews @skynews @thetimes @bbc5live @lbc @DailyMail This isn’t even the new normal. It’s going to get much much worse.

🚨The Public have got to wake up. This is Istanbul, Turkey, tonight and it’s just the beginning. Last year Professor Hayley Fowler, a leading climatologist and hydrologist, warned the UK could face this kind of extreme rainfall; enough to wash away cars and homes without much warning. It was ignored by the media.
Journalists and anyone with influence needs to lobby the Govt and the Prime Minister to broadcast the National briefing about the facts of climate change and what is coming towards us publicly on TV in the way we had Covid broadcasts. @nebriefing
The public need to face the reality that we’ve all fucked up. Our media and democracy doesn’t work.
I’m very aware that people think those of us who talk about climate change are crazy but the reality is developing right in front of our eyes. The scientists warnings are coming true.
People want to look away. I know lots of people in my own life do. But this is just the beginning it is going to get much much worse. The planet is already hotter than it’s been in over 100,000 years, carbon dioxide levels are higher than they’ve been in millions of years, scientists are telling us our kids will not survive the coming decades on the course we are on. This is really happening and we got to wake the hell up urgently. We are already in huge trouble and it can only get worse. youtu.be/2Jq23mSDh9U?is=u830…
