This is the play in every single industry at the moment. A massive bailout for mediocre white underachievers .

After a middling WNBA career, blonde haired, blue eyed Sophie Cunningham has positioned herself for post-basketball success and riches as a conservative mouthpiece. This is the pattern that always works because conservatives are very very dumb and will latch onto anyone who promotes hate.

Farewell, Lloyd. And thank you.

Jays next 17 are very tough: @ Chi (1), @ Phi (3), Bos (4), NYY (3), @ TB (3), @ NYY (3) And then final 30 are against team's they're immediately chasing or are already out of it.

Kelly Hrudey let go from Sportsnet broadcasts after 30-plus-year career

The former goaltender had been seen on Hockey Night in Canada since retiring from the game in 1998.

The main reason I don't like genre romance is because of its extensive focus on romantic relationships so yeah it's probably not for me.

Emperor Abby (the first pope)@arobertswrites.com · 5h ago

A lot of times when this comes up people are like "oh but you can find romance about anything" yes but I don't think I should have to sample every single iteration of a thing before I decide how I feel about it.

"Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster) is a Gothic church in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is the second-tallest church building in the world, with a steeple measuring 161.53 metres 530 ft"

But they seemed like such nice, patriotic, community-minded chaps. (Except the ones currently facing murder, child abuse & assault charges, obviously.)

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

I got this from stepping on my pajama shorts which slid across the floor and I bashed my arm against the corner of my bedside table

Baseball Joy!

This is my quince. It seems quite unhappy. Does anybody know what this is and whether it can be fixed?

This is a longstanding friend of mine and an excellent artist, so if you need to commission any art, look no further:

Whatever happens, we will share the autogenerated transcriptions and our database next year as planned, and they will be available in an open access in a repository in the longer term. While we focus on publications we will be quieter on here and will pause the will of the month blog series. 5/

Though things are therefore very uncertain for the project at this moment, all of the team are committed to doing everything they can to bring our research to publication so the fruits of the project can be shared with volunteers and academics in future. 4/

While that planned research is ongoing, it has of course been severely disrupted as the processes of redundancy consultation, voluntary redundancy process, and selection for compulsory redundancy are happening across July-September. 3/

This summer the project researchers, including Jane and Laura, were meant to be focusing on analysing and publishing findings relating to the 30,000 historic wills that we have transcribed with the help of thousands of volunteers. 2/

📢PROJECT UPDATE📢 You may have seen the news that the University of Exeter, home of the wills project, has placed 500 academics at risk of redundancy. The project leader Prof. Jane Whittle & project co-investigator Dr Laura Sangha are both at risk, alongside almost all of the History department. 1/

Is this ready to harvest? Or close to ready to harvest? Also, if I cut the tops off my brussel sprouts stems around the first of September would that be right?

Oh, well then, I guess we’ve no choice but to let the foreign minister keep doing racism. Wouldn’t want to be principled, let alone call Winston’s bluff. Better things aren’t possible

Nicola Willis and Mark Mitchell suggested this morning that firing Winston Peters would bring down the Government. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

Sorry you dumped the WHAT portfolio (note, though, there remains a separate minister for public transport, Vicki Ward, while Paul Hamer is minister for roads and road safety)

ABC News Bot (unofficial)@abcnewsbot.bsky.social · 2d ago

The new, slimmed-down Victorian cabinet under Ben Carroll's leadership includes a minister to focus on ethical artificial intelligence, but dumps the transport infrastructure portfolio.

Sorry, it's too late, I've already depicted you as the egotistical and self-satisfied academic who searches their own name in a text to see if you've been cited and cited a lot, and me as the humble and modest academic who nervously searches my name in the hope I have not been dunked on

Today's allotment update. I am absolutely livid with myself with having so much pride and glee in my allotment a month ago. Everybody else's allotment is not equally as good if not much better. I am a giant fool. Just so utterly stupid that I think I'm any good at this.

Time for some quick start trek online then cleaning Duncan's room and then more closet install so we can build Lennox's bed later

By my quick count, the Blue Jays got 43 years of control today beyond 2026, besting the 42 from 2019 (though they lost some with their hybrid buy/sell). I suspect Ross Atkins has learned his lesson and will not bring this up when he speaks to the media.
