How many times is too much when watching the replay of the Tigers v Blues game.

So far I watched it once...straight after the game finished. Thinking it's my Friday night viewing too.

Wondering if I have a problem 😅

Although it's not really football season until the Round 1 Tigers/Blues game....watching the pies start their season like that is bloody fantastic! 😁

PS - I've never posted about AFL on a public facing social media account before (never used twitter like this)...so here we go...

Rachel Maddow, at the end of her broadcast tonight, promoted her Bluesky account and Lawrence O'Donnell's Bluesky account too. She told people to get Bluesky.

Expect Incoming.

Is it footy season yet?

Sven @svenr.bsky.social · Jan 11

Yeah, I'd consider that a no-brainer too. No crowds, no airport security and straight into the CBD.

I didn't even know Aussie trains had sleeper cabins. I've only ever caught them in Europe.

Mind if I ask how much a sleeper cabin was between Melbourne & Sydney?

I'm generally pro a multi-planetory civilization...but something tells me that we're going to take AI with us. It's almost liked no one ever watched a Space Odyssey...
