The Last Kingdom (Seasons 1-3)
Before or after Mr Hooper?
Rhyming slang. Spot on!
I can't quite get over the blinkered knee-jerk ignorance on display here. Who would have thought that bluesky could attract so many people who apparently have no idea there are countries in the world other than their own? But that is no doubt a key part of the big problem
Native diet. Maize. Bison. Berries. All good stuff actually
ABC: "Support firms for Angus Taylor to win Liberal leadership". SBS: "From water dealings to questionable economic credentials β who is the man touted as the future Liberal Party leader?"

Worth reading the full thread. Government buy-in for this marketing garbage is very worrying
We're a Youppi and an Ace away from having an awesome board of peace of our own.

Much simple enjoyment to be had in this thread. Oh, the humanity
To (presumably mostly American) skeeters wondering what 'figgy pudding' is...this is the most perfect answer
Highly recommend reading this pithy text on pop culture from @brittlestar.com. No time for sitting with video but the audio version of the podcast will be accompanying my walk this morning!
Ugh. Deleting Firefox now. Browser options narrowing π
(Don't forget adding -ai to your search string in Google will rule out AI slop in results. Tedious, but we must resist)
I think traditionally the star stands for the 'hope' in the Advent themes of hope, peace, joy and love? We are not really religious but we still top our tree with a star, the same one for 30 years and counting. Never give up on hope

Worth tuning in wherever you get your podcasts
Great to hear
Music doesn't need to change your life to matter. Sometimes a song just needs to make your Tuesday commute better. That's valuable too. Joy doesn't have to be profound.
Heart Like a Wheel was written and first performed by Kate and Anna McGarrigle
The truth is unassailable. The irony is sublime
Good ideas spread slower than bad ideas because bad ideas are simpler. "It's complicated" loses to "they're evil" every single time.
π¨π¦β€οΈ Why does Canada exist? These answers tug at my hearstrings.
These virtues are all relative of course. There are dark shadows in Canada's history too.
But the net direction is progress.
In the general direction of good.
The Australian Cartoonists Association welcomes the decision of the federal Attorney-General, Michelle aRowland, to reject the Productivity Commissionβs proposal to exempt tech companies from copyright laws, which would have handed them free rein to mine creative content to train their Artificial Intelligence models, without recognition or recompense for artists. We are glad the Albanese Government recognises the value and precarious of the creative industries and encourage their ongoing support of artists in all fields. Cathy Wilcox President ACA

Have read it! Life and opinions. Thereof.
This is a huge moment in linear broadcast TV. When I began my TV career in 2005, even history documentaries were expected to get 2 million viewers
Very much worth reading. Every. Word.
