I remember the first local election I was eligible for, I tried looking into the candidates and couldn't find anything. Haven't bothered since. I also actually have no idea what local government even does.

I wish I was as up on Aussie politics as I am on the US.

So the Bendigo feed dropped out like a minute into the third quarter and never came back? #WNBL26

Here's a linguist's take:

Is 67 just brain rot?

Not that it's a good signing, but I believe that Russell Westbrook is the first former MVP to play for the Sacramento Kings, ever. First MVP to play for the franchise at all since Oscar Robertson, who actually won it as a Cincinnati Royal.

What does "tag up" mean here?

koberulz @koberulz.bsky.social · 10d

Just messaging "it was nice to meet you" and nothing else comes across as a polite brush-off TBH.

I believe it's had rights issues. Nothing to do with streaming or culture or anything else.

koberulz @koberulz.bsky.social · 11d

Yeah, obviously got changed at some point. But still, wild that someone disagreed with a characterisation and just started an argument right there on the page. Not even a new paragraph!

Wikipedia plot summary of "Strange Fascination" (1952).

Transcribed Text:

Plot

The life of Paul Marvan (Haas), a world-famous concert pianist, is ruined after his marriage to beautiful femme fatale Margo (Moore). Margo is hardly a femme fatale. She's one of many blondes in Hugo Haas' films who is trying to do her best with men coming at her every second. She's actually sensitive, smart and compassionate. If you actually listen to the dialogue of this movie it's quite grown up, especially the final conversation between Margo and Marvan's patron, Diana Fowler. The level of honesty in this film is as powerful as it is unexpected.

Not only does he not own Bluesky, he's not even involved in Bluesky in any capacity.

If the score in each quarter matters, it needs to be on the scoreboard. Commentators aren't even bothering to mention it in the closing stages of each quarter. #NBL26 #IgniteCup

Y'all are talking like these things no longer exist? I can understand having easy access to streaming making it less likely you go to your shelf, but if you want that sort of content it's readily available.

The thing is, I do kinda get it because Shyla was a rookie at the time and Shane had a pretty decent profile here, but at the same time they didn't even use his name in the headline so what's the point?

koberulz @koberulz.bsky.social · 19d

News article headlined "Star's daughter brutally cut after 31 mins" with a picture of WNBA player Shyla Heal, whose father Shane played a handful of NBA games in the mid-90s, in the middle of a lengthy career in the Australian NBL.

But that's not what the conversation was about.
