David Warner. Usman Khawaja’s Calm Reaction To Mitchell Johnson’s Critique: A “Hero”

Australian player Usman Khawaja has strongly retaliated against Mitchell Johnson’s critical remarks about David Warner.

Speculation that the opening batsman David Warner didn’t deserve to be in the team has centered on Warner’s selection in the Australia team for the Test series against Pakistan. In his piece, former Australian bowler Mitchell Johnson took aim at Warner and the Australian selectors following his inclusion in the Test squad in spite of his dismal form. Many people have taken issue with Johnson’s criticism of Warner; Australia batsman Usman Khawaja described Johnson’s remarks as “harsh”.

Writing in his West Australian column, Johnson questioned “why a player at the centre of one of the biggest scandals in Australian cricket history warrants a hero’s send-off?”

However, Khawaja stated that he views two of the three players at the core of the ball-tampering affair, Steve Smith and David Warner, as heroes.

“In my opinion, Davey Warner and Steve Smith are heroes,” Khawaja stated to the press. “They had a difficult year in Australian cricket, missing a whole year of play, but they have made amends.

“Everyone is not flawless. Mitchell Johnson has flaws. I’m not flawless. Steve Smith is not flawless. David Warner has flaws.

“What they have done to advance and improve the game surpasses all else they have accomplished.

Best of the Best Series

Some of the best series where every work is a banger. Binge read these and have fun!

and i think it's gonna be a long, long time by boasamishipper @boasamishipper

The Captain Marvel AU of Top Gun, with Maverick Mitchell as Carol Danvers and Iceman Kazansky as Maria Rambeau.

These are so fun and interesting! I love how well Ice and Mav fit in the Marvel universe. My favorite is this one:

screaming in the sonar

“Kazansky’s missing,” Fury says. Everything in Maverick’s body goes cold. He feels like the very breath from his lungs has been sucked out, leaving him nothing but a gaping chasm of terror. “What?” “He was reported missing three days ago; I just found out today. There were signs of a struggle at his house, and…” Here Fury hesitates, and Maverick knows that whatever will follow cannot be good. “There was a ransom message left on his communicator, Maverick. It was written in Kreeglyphs.”

Mav going berserk because they hurt Ice. Chef’s kiss. I keep rereading these stories every few months and I’m always delighted to read it again. boasamishipper, your brain is truly magnificent!

look at the sky and you will always find me by dangerousinlove @gohoubi

Iceman/Maverick fics.

Seventy five, SEVENTY FIVE of some of the most creative and heart-wrenching Icemav fics. It’s short, but a lot of them have categories, like Retirement-Verse or Wolf!Iceman-Verse, so if you’re looking for bite-sized fics within the same universe, check these out. My favorite:

blood in the water

After his cancer, Iceman finds out that going back to normal is harder than he thought.

Heavy angst, like really heavy. Absolutely decimated my heart. But it’s a possible scenario and it makes me sadder when I think about Ice’s cancer and how surviving affected him. 

Gayboy Airlines & Goose, LLC by aelibia @topgunreacts

Bits and pieces of Maverick's life as an amateur and later pro dom. Also Ice is there.

Of course, aelibia deserves a second mention because they’re just that good. Aside from AortaArgent, aelibia’s one of the authors I trust to write about sex. Their writing makes blood rush south but also to the heart. My favorite:

Product Testing 

Somebody has to test out all these sex toys. Might as well be Ice and Maverick. [oneshot series with standalone chapters]

The portrayal of Icemav’s sex is fun and familiar, the kind of act born from years of vulnerability and complete trust in each other. It kind of showed me that sex can be fun, it doesn’t have to be so hot and serious all the time. You can get off but you can laugh while doing so. Overall, a very good portrayal of a different kind of sex that I don't often find.

Alright, virtual convention is done! Time to unveil the answers I got!

Mitchell did not know or remember recording male vocals for 'If Only' so he gave me a generic 'yes' when I asked if those vocals were supposed to be Ben (to be fair, it's been almost 10 years since the first Descendants came out...and now I feel old). Brenna though thought it could have been maybe foreshadowing Hades slightly, as a father daughter relationship. So until I get the chance to ask Kenny, we're just going to say that yes, that is Ben singing in the background.

Mitchell does not think Jay would be part genie because he thinks that if Jafar was a genie when all the villains got put on the Isle, then Jafar would have been the most powerful and the most evil so he thinks that Jafar being put on the Isle is from before he makes the wish to become a genie. However, I prefer Brenna's answer to that question so you might find that Jay gets some dormant genie powers in my fics lol :D

The mini bow between Ben and Carlos in 'You and Me' was not scripted by Kenny. Cameron apparently wanted to sneak a dab into the dance and Mitchell was all for it, and Kenny didn't realize that's what they were doing but thought that it was a dance move they thought up on the spot. Brenna apparently was 100% against them doing that.

Brenna's birthday is one day after mine--I already knew that before this virtual convention, I just thought it was cool to share lol :D

Bart Johnson did not know why they have the 'Troy....listen...' line start 'Gotta Go My Own Way' in the HSM2 soundtrack when she does not say that in the movie.

Wow...honestly I'm kinda impressed I remembered all that considering I'm pretty sure I've only gotten 4 hours of sleep and have been relying on caffeine and sushi to make sure I didn't miss anything from the convention.

Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson, the newly appointed president of the Chicago Board of Education, has a lengthy history of posting inflammatory antisemitic, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas content on social media, according to a review of Johnson’s public and private Facebook posts following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks last year. 

After the 2018 Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, Mitchell added a banner to his Facebook profile picture that said, “Together Against Antisemitism.”

But since Hamas’ terror attack last year, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis, he has used Facebook to share dozens of posts praising the terrorist group, justifying the Oct. 7 attacks and slandering Jews who support Israel. 

“How can a group of people who have suffered from the Holocaust; today join with the Alt Right Community?” Johnson asked in a post last December. 

He continued to invoke the Holocaust in numerous posts that followed. 

“The Nazi Germans’ ideology has been adopted by the Zionist Jews,” Johnson wrote in February. “The Israeli government offers a renewal of Nazi language once directed toward European Jews, ‘savages, dogs, vermin,’” he wrote in March. 

Johnson’s posts did not just attack Israel and Jews. He routinely made clear his support for Hamas: “I have been saying this since October 2023. People have an absolute right to attack their oppressors by any means necessary!!!” he wrote in March. 

Last Christmas, Johnson shared a video showing Miko Peled, an anti-Zionist writer, defending the Hamas attacks as merely prisoners breaking out of their jail. 

“The single most direct video that has crossed my feed,” Johnson wrote. “I invite my once Jewish friends to respond to this video with honesty, integrity, and morality.” 

Earlier this month, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson appointed Rev. Johnson (no relation) to the Chicago Board of Education amid a turbulent time for the body. 

All seven members of the Board of Education resigned in early October after clashing with the mayor over budgetary and personnel issues. Mayor Johnson replaced them with a new slate of officers, including Rev. Johnson. He can remain as president in January if the mayor allows it. 

Mayor Johnson, a progressive, has clashed with Chicago’s Jewish community in the months following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. In January, he cast the tie-breaking vote on a contentious cease-fire resolution, making Chicago the largest city in the country at the time to back a cease-fire. In August, before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, he called Israel’s war in Gaza “genocidal.”

Im being so serious. Who is Anders Johnson and why is he the second most tagged character when you sort by Being Human, above all of the actual protagonists except for Mitchell. Why is Anders Johnson in 1/4 of all of the Being Human fics on AO3. Who wrote 500 rarepair fics for Mitchell/Anders Johnson. I am both impressed and shocked.

There's always going to be Lincoln discourse, whether he was a good partner to Daisy, whether he was the worst character of all time, so you know what? Let's discuss it

Now to start off, I don't hate Lincoln. I also don't love him, but overall, I'm definitely not the biggest fan of him. And the primary reason for that is that he just doesn't have that much to do as a character

When you examine his character from s2 and being boosted into a series regular for s3, there isn't all that much growth for him. Lincoln is more or less the same character he was when he was introduced, which isn't something you want to have for a series regular. Technically there should be a lot for him:

He's a Doctor, he went to med school and got a degree

He has a sister named Amanda who Daisy donates a portion of her S.H.I.E.L.D. to

He tried to off himself on numerous occasions

He nearly killed his girlfriend before being brought to Afterlife (reminder this is not a study on if he's a bad person, but admittedly this is pretty bad)

These are all traits that were given to him in season 3 to try and expand upon him, and would do so for basically anyone, but for whatever reason they all kinda fall short. And this, I think, has to do with his personality: Lincoln just doesn't have a lot of it

Lincoln is not a very consistent character. One minute he would be fighting with Daisy and the next they would be having a cute movie montage. It doesn't fit. Their relationship doesn't fit, considering if it were anyone else, Daisy would've most likely left. There isn't enough to him to make him memorable, he would've been just as forgettable as Joey Gutierrez if it weren't for one factor. And that is his impact on Daisy

Think about it. What is the one thing about Lincoln everyone always remembers, that continues to send ripples throughout the show years after he is gone? His sacrifice

Lincoln's sacrifice is what caused Coulson to step down as Director. It's what caused Radcliffe to start up the Framework. And most importantly, it's what caused Daisy to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. Lincoln was really only there to jumpstart her Quake vigilante arc; his sacrifice is the only thing that is remembered by the narrative, and I believe his character suffers as a result. The writers needed someone to fulfill the "who's gonna die?" arc from season 3, someone who was important to the show, but mostly to Daisy and only mild affects to everyone else. Lincoln is who the writers chose for that. I'm quite sure that if Ward had turned good, he could've been a contestant for this, too. Lincoln's death is essentially the male version of fridging

It shows in the fandom, too, cause nothing with Lincoln in it is only about Lincoln; he only gets remembered through Staticquake. If there's a Lincoln edit, 95% of the time it is Staticquake. He can't be remembered on his own because his relationship with Daisy was the only "important" part of him

(And just saying, the way he treated Daisy wasn't really the best. He was arguing with her constantly, most of the times in the wrong, yet it was her who always had to apologize? Weird)

In the end, it's only his death that is remembered, not him as a person, and it hurts that he could've had so much more with him beyond Daisy. That's what really bothers me

This tradition has been passed down through countless generations. And I jumped the line. And not only did you go through without permission or prep, but you did it old-school, with a diviner in a kree temple. Uh, that hasn't happened for thousands of years.
