I think that's our first look at the new British rikishi.

Pink sumo prize today.

Have several of the gyoji got new gunbai this tournament?

Apparently it was leg trip day in Nagoya.

you can bypass bluesky's age gate with a ublock origin filter, among other methods detailed here

Bluesky's age assurance sucks, here's how to work around it.

BREAKING: U.K. reveals Bluesky will be included in the under-16 social media ban, affecting dozens of teens.

After the stupidest exam I've ever done (I think it went well) I am now caught up on sumo. So many exciting matches. I don't mind who wins when they're this good. (I still mind a bit).

Watching sumo is postponed until after my apprenticeship exam tomorrow morning. To my knowledge, no one has ever failed the exam, so I shouldn't be nervous.

(Sarcastically) Rule Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves...

"Euro's gotta be lower because Brexit" is a sentence that was uttered today, let that sink in

I saw this video on Reddit of the French commentator going wild for Asakoryu. I don't blame him.

My guilty pleasure is watching Trooping The Colour. The standard of bugling has been dreadful since covid. You'd think they'd be able to find someone who can play a bugle properly once a year.

About half of this revenue is from academic publishing where most of the authors are not paid at all.

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.

As the World Cup approaches, people are using more and more football gifs. This is your reminder that Cristiano Ronaldo has been accused of at least five rapes and sexual assaults and admitted one of them in legal documents.

One of the scariest things I've ever done was field at silly mid off with no protective equipment.

I've become addicted to videos of Americans trying cricket for the first time. The lack of a catching mitt terrifies them. Having said that, most Sunday evenings in my childhood involved my dad showing me the bruises he got while in the slips that afternoon, so they may have a point.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Obsession finished 3 and half hours ago and I'm still on edge. Brilliant film.

Ura's tactics today

Sumo has been so good recently that today was *merely* an exciting first day of the tournament.

Despite plans to sleep, this is the earliest I've ever been awake to watch sumo.

David Attenborough (and everyone else involved with Population Matters) is a eugenicist. If you think "overpopulation" is a problem, then don't live to 100.

I am once again asking you to stop calling centrists the left.

Chag Sameach. As I'm leading the communal seder tomorrow, I need to get out of my systems all the inappropriate Passover songs.

This is better than having an amazing singer with nothing interesting going on in the accompaniment. (see: almost all talented pop singers)

the Red Hot Chili Peppers had these incredibly talented, thoughtful musicians and also a lead singer constantly yelling "lickity split with my kung fu chicken / met a freaky girl for some freakity lickin"

Hatzola wouldn't exist if the government were funding ambulances properly in the first place.

There are plenty of decent people out there condemning the antisemitic attack in London, you don't need to be reposting people who spend a lot of their time terrorising trans people

Green macaroon sumo prize today.

No one embodies Fighting Spirit like Fujinokawa. All the awards will be well deserved.

Kewey Tanuki@keweytanuki.bsky.social · 5mo ago

#sumo special prizes have been announced! * Outstanding Performance: Kirishima * Fighting Spirit: Atamifuji, Fujiseiun, Kotoshoho (all if they win today) * Technique Prize: Fujinokawa (if they win today)

I normally don't mind posting sumo spoilers but I'll refrain from commenting until tomorrow.

It's time for the big match! I'm supporting Kirishima.

I finally caught up with the sumo. Fujinokawa is definitely my second favourite now. Go go gadget Gonoyama. That Hosh/Papa stare down!
