I really thought this was an Onion headline alas @bencollins.bsky.social

An astonishing letter published in the Times of London.

So frustrating that because of the source bad information just gets amplified. This article is just bad and wrong and does more damage than good to Australian artists

Good week for the Beesley family football teams

Fuck me if you want to publish an opinion about something maybe talk to people that know that topic first?

What utter garbage. Spotify wouldn’t even care about national play rates. Maybe if you want Oz music to thrive I could list 1000 things you could do first. Like more venues, rules that prevent real estate pushing venues out over sound laws, funding to support young artists

If you run a business and get AI to design your logo, you are advertising to the World that you would prefer to have a shitty logo in order to save a few hundred quid and would be likely to cut corners elsewhere in your operation.

Congratulations to your podcasts

Probably still a more ethical delivery system then Spotify

Time to cook up a three-team Zion, Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard trade that makes everyone mad

if our podcast ever made any money we would spend it all on Abs and Format writing us theme music

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Who gives a fuck to be honest. How about what sort of year it has been for the people you are supposed to represent.

Can’t wait for Love Island Australia on Netflix

Set the fucking tone boys! Never wanted to be a Canadian more in all my life youtu.be/tblYK5t73ys?...

Ok, who lives in Victoria that can get one of these to @amygray.bsky.social for me for xmas?

Day Five! What little respect for the golf course has this Irish side.

England to prepare with pink golf balls ahead of day-night Brisbane Test.

Listen, we don’t go out there to win, we go out there to entertain. And we did entertain an enormous number of Aussies. Bazball Mission Accomplished!

NT News headline tomorrow morning: Great Head beats dud Root every time. #ashes

I don’t really think it’s fair for Travis Head to play cricket when the other 21 players have forgotten how. #theashes

Can we get Broad back in commentary now?

The stupidity of streaming a FTA feed, change the channel? It’s a fucking stream you peanuts

What I wouldn’t give to have a Border at 6 right now.

See I always sing labushane to this

Any good cricket people to follow on here for the ashes?#theashes

Nope

England do know you can play more than one way in a game right?

Also, when the fuck are super test wickets going to get added back in

I reckon my pantheon Australian fast bowlers were Lillee, McGrath, Johnson, Harris and Cummins but damn Starc just keeps getting better and better. I think id have to find space for him

It’s nice to enjoy your cricket team

Counterpoint - Bad NBA teams are cautionary tales for owners who might think an ex Nike executive would be smart to run their side

Ahhh LNP lite

Good fucking album

Both teams going better than expected, who knew Dillon Brooks’s would be better for the suns than KD?

Hashtag real openers

Hey everyone who says we should be poaching US scientists….. WE DONT FUCKING FUND OUR OWN

Too good not to share from the Sacramento Kings Reddit.

Is that a FNM lyric?

FIRE ME AND PAY ME MY MONEY!!

I keep seeing references to how the new All-Star format is going to make it easier for international players, and I don't think that squares with reality. For example, nine of the top 24 scorers in the league so far are international. It's more likely players will be added to the *American* teams.

Get the Kangz on the phone!

This is bleak

Every boomer take makes me love them even more

Pretty much explains private school funding in a nutshell

Incredible story telling here by Steph

As someone married to a researcher I've barely seen the last 2 months (writing a grant) this narrative just fucking drives me nuts. We don't even come close to funding the people we have already invested education and training into. Maybe do that first?

Dunno if you’ll do this one @bryancurtis.bsky.social ….

Maybe billionaires owning the media is not a good thing
