Fucking fair enough too I say

Christ, pity the sound engineers too. This was NOT 14 hours one and done, this was scraping for the least-bad takes along the way. Hope it paid well

If they haven’t worked it out at this stage, maybe give someone else a turn. Beyond embarrassing it’s gone this far

There you go, proof the #auspol system is broken.
What exactly does he have to offer? Nothing to the electorate, that’s for damn sure. He just sees a chance for some grifting as a redneck Farage. There’s $$$ to be made on the neocon circuit

Sadly the Peregrine Falcon has fallen out of polling. I’ve upsized and voted for the Wedgie - and you should too

Interlull hypothetical for you @arseblog.com & @gunnerblog.bsky.social:
If Arteta quit tomorrow and you had the choice of Iraola coming in with Semenyo, or Glasner arriving with Wharton…who’s your pick?

Went for a hero ball, was a bad decision. Oops

They announce this the day before?! JFC. I’ll just be watching YouTube highlights I guess, just can’t be arsed with another subscription, esp one that treats customers like shit

So many awesome contenders. The Peregrine Falcon has my vote

Distribution I think. Not a bad call, don’t mind that. Think we need Frida on at the break though for Pelova for a bit more bite in midfield

I was lucky enough to buy tickets for England v China in the Women’s World Cup. Not ONE THING Fifa claimed would happen with on sale dates, times etc actually happened. Pure fluke that I saw a post on the nazi site alerting me. Fucking shambles all told (then both Beth & Leah injured anyway!)

Properly broke my brain when it came out, and still my favourite album of all time.
Great choice.

It was the first record I bought with my own money.
But then my FNM fandom led me to checking out Steve Berlin and I found this…

Dear CEOs everywhere:
We see your ‘transformation’ and absolutely know you mean ‘job cutting’.
In the same way you see ‘AI’ and manage to read it as ‘free labour’.
We’re not dumb

Jesus, their CEO should be fired.

Jingoism. The weaponisation of the phrase ‘un-Australian’ to mean I (personally) don’t like something - and will fight it.
Not as big as some policies, but a notably nastier tone set

If the BBC broadcast is working, be nice if they’d serve that to everyone for the second half, instead of this hot mess of freezing, skipping and distorted out of sync commentary.

But but but…cost cutting and something something shareholders!

John Ebenger @johnebenger.bsky.social · Sep 1

This is the part that gets me as well. Sometimes people will say, “Well AI isn’t going to take Director level jobs.” And I ask them who the hell is going to be Director level when all of us who built our skills over a career end those careers.

James Youngman @jyoungman.bsky.social · Sep 1

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
