I do love the AFL terminology that ruck contests are "attended", almost as if you need to present an invitation to a doorman before proceeding
Hello Bluesky friends, I wrote a book about OnlyFans that is coming out SOON.
Would you use this book as a set reading in your course/unit/subject? Would you like an inspection copy? Let me know! I'm thinking media studies (especially social media/internet studies), sociology, gender studies etc
How many line breaks will you need? stackoverflow.com/a/21699210
Call me crazy, but 6 practice games plus 12 regular season games equals 18 games... so, why not just have one practice game and 17 regular season games so every team plays each other once?! #AFLW

Bar chart showing remittanes as a % of GDP, very high for Tonga (>40%), Samoa, Vanuatu, Marshall Islands and other Pacific countries, compared to much lower levels for low income countries gloablly, small states, etc.

Really impressed with what I've seen. Are you using analog or digital materials?
I'm having insane success rates when I ask Claude to pretend to be a god-tier programmer from the 1960s with limited computer power.
'Johatsu: Into Thin Air' documents the phenomenon of the thousands who "evaporate" into a new life - a small town's worth of people every year in Japan alone. Matt Schilling reviews a Japanese/German documentary that should be seen more widely.

Migrant Cafe in #wefo recently changed hands. New menu includes a top notch satay chicken bagel. Go get one.

Let me start a belated thread of Aotearoa New Zealand silvan birds.
To lead things off, a New Zealand Bellbird photographed on Kapiti Island.
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kΔkΔpΕ chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
This whole radio personality issue must have editors and spicy takers sighing with relief. Every other news item is just too HEAVY.

Being a cool uncle was attractive idea when I was 25-35. Now that I'm 50, less so. No dramas that aren't fictional, please. No, I don't want to offer my spare room to your drug using teenage drop out with a history of theft. He'll be fine in a share-house, washing dishes, like the rest of us were.
Here's a thing I made:
questions from the past echo into the future
like carbon and hydrogen atoms dancing in Brownian motion
at the threshold of possibility for life amidst the flows of energy and entropy
