What is the opening advertisement about and who sponsors the Mike Hosking Breakfast?
Perustin pyöräilyvaatteita valmistavan ornotin vuonna 2013. Mielestäni parasta Shopifessa on se, että voimme harjoittaa liiketoimintaa ilman teknistä osaamista. Voimme hallinnoida yrityksen taustajärjestelmiä ja front endiä sekä myydä verkossa. Vaivatta, jos Shopify olisi pyöräilyvaruste, se olisi mielestäni itse polkupyörä. Sillä asiat hoidetaan ja meidän liiketoimintamme hoituu Shopifissa. Aloita ilmainen kokeilu shopify.com-sivustolla.
Tough on power, sharp on insight. The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate covering all your real estate needs. News Talks Ed B. Morning and
welcome today. The regional scoreboard on our economy. Who's hot and who looks tragic? Stacey Jones on the Warriors Do or Die weekend. What's the matter with fence? Are they all getting the boot or what? Tim and Katie after rate, Richard Arnold, Steve Price. They they polish it up as well for us. Good on a Friday, doesn't it? Seven past six. Welcome to the program. How about our week of angst day? Take your pick. Hot takes galore. You follow this Sydney Sweeney. She was the funniest. The ad agency who dreamed that up must be lining up for a bonus because the air time it got in the end outweighed any actual cost by about ten to one. I reckon it went white hot viral as millions raged about boobs and sexuality and insulting female athletes, all of which it did, of course, but that was the point.
Didn't No one work out that was the point. Get Sweeney partially naked say sport, sport, sport. Cue the fury. Oldest trick in the book. Play the old sexuality card and we're all still falling for it unbelievably. High rocks. That was just plain weird. Unfortunate scenario mid routine and the whole rule book gets changed. Based on the outrage. The woman concerned didn't seem overly worried, having appeared on social media. She did apologize, I note, overnight. I suspect because she's truly over it. Harry and Megan, I blame the media, mainly the British media. But their school upheaval went viral globally. Turned out the security issue for the kids was a bit of traffic, for God's sake. And once again, a reminder that these two are the worst sort of attention-seeking grifters, and I now genuinely feel sorry for the kids.
I mean their mum and dad. Dad of buffoons, but given they don't know any better, and their attention obsession is seemingly incurable, maybe it's the media's job to step back and simply ignore them. Seems incredible that Garga, a vastly bigger name than both of them put together, can vanish, give birth, and truck a reasonably well developed child around and no one knows about it or sees any of it unless she decides to let that happen. But the biggest and saddest of them all was of course Macklemore and the fellow travelling tryhard to decide. decided to abandon their friendship with Ed Sheeran by dropping a minute after they, like so many of their lot, felt unable to keep their politics to themselves.
Sheeran is famously apolitical. Very smart move that served Dolly Parton well, and yet the musicians, some of whom you would have never have heard of if it wasn't for the Sheeran kindness and desire to promote new talent, left him with possibly no American tour at all after MacLamore got dropped, and the rest quit in a fit of peak. Is it too much to ask to park your self importance for a half hour opening act and just play a bit of music? Oh. And to maybe be a decent person for the bloke who's giving you your break? So much outrage, so many causes, so much self importance. Lucky the world is such a benign place, eh, and we've got nothing big to worry about.
News of the world in 90 seconds.
Sweet me, which all the heavyweights are out to play this morning. None heavier than the King on AI.
We need sufficient means of control before it is all too late. Those uh in our world who value deeply Our humanity and its vital moral component are anxiously seeking your reassurance that we will not lose control of our destiny or our soul.
Also out the B and
E head,
why couldn't up the right in Britain? Mortgage rates in this country since the end of February when this conflict began have gone up by nearly one percent.
