Listening to TMS recap podcast, and the phrase that comes to mind is “toxic positivity” regarding England’s philosophy & attitudes. And their public positivity despite their current situation reminds me of issues the women’s coaches & leadership had over the last couple of years. 🏏 #Ashes

Sharelle McMahon was captain the last time AUS hosted JAM! The last test was on the Gold Coast on Aug 15 2010. The entire 15 year, 60 match history of the Constellation Cup has occurred since then! AUS toured JAM in 2011 and since then, the teams have only ever met at WC & CG.

Oh FFS, this is a bullshit approach. One of the biggest weakness with the system has been that it has been too prescriptive for planners in writing plans with little room to account for individual circumstances. Computerising will make this worse. We're dealing with people's lives here.

There should be infinitely more interest in this medical mystery. How many doctors can even name the phenomenon described below? I’ll give a hint: it’s the hallmark of a disease that affects 1.3% of US adults, per CDC. (So docs should know about it!) #MedSky

As a little tip for those pushing cricket content, please use hashtags. There is no boosting algorithm so if you want a broader reach, you have to flag it for people to find it easily. And if you attract bots, don't be afraid to block. You'll never see them again 🌬🔥 🏏 #Cricket #TheAshes

🧵So last week I asked Kiwis and Aussies if people prefer their fairy bread with margarine or butter, crusts on or crusts off, squares vs triangles. I figured since it has been ages since I've sampled the food of the fae, I should make sure the recipe is correct for my upcoming book launch party.

Question for the linguists, word nerds & artists out there. Should we be calling AI “art” art? Definition of art: the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects Should we be calling it AI images or something? #Art #Linguistics

With Alice Wong's @sfdirewolf.bsky.social passing, I hope people who never knew her or her work are making time to dig in today. I'm sharing some of my favorite interviews with or articles from Alice below. Please feel free to chime in and do the same.

I'm lucky in that while I was once down to literally only 3 safe foods (white rice, chicken, kale)--which took me 3 weeks and 15 lost lbs subsisting on multivitamins and broth to even figure out--I'm now up to "just" a strict low histamine diet. But this is why we tell you to protect yourself--

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

And stating the obvious, none of this will improve until aged and disability care, hospital care and community health care is all funded and managed as an integrated whole rather than across layers of govt. It is all connected. The pandemic highlighted this, and no lessons were learned - again.

Dumping NDIS participants in Emergency Departments is becoming increasingly common. But they don’t get admitted to the hospital as there is often no acute issue. So they stay in ED for days whilst social workers desperately look for alternatives. Appalling care and another stressor EDs done need.

Literally none of these residents can live in the community without supported accomodation services and specialist housing infrastructure. If these homes close, the vast majority of clients will end up in hospital beds

Thousands of people with complex disabilities are at risk of eviction from group homes that may close due to a looming funding crisis, say workers endeavourhillshallamdoveton.starcommunity.com.au/news/2025-11...

It's fascinating how in a policy expert culture dominated by economism - everything is about efficient taxes, behavioural distortions and deadweight losses - we have a huge effective tax on something as profound to society as relationship formation and exit and the wonk class has no interest in it
