Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

One of the comments on the announcement of LibreOffice 26.8 was a simple question: “So, no AI is now a feature?” LibreOffice does not reject artificial intelligence out of hand, but an office suite us...

Btw this was basically Point Break but with Elvis impersonators, and Hollywood, call us; this would be a great summer popcorn movie

Also i must share the hand towel i encountered unexpectedly in our venue because it cracked me up SO much
A photo of a pale pink hand towel in a bathroom hanging from a rail. The towel has embroidered hearts surrounding an embroidered depiction of Ashley Bloomfield, former NZ director of health during the beginning of the covid epidemic

The Caribbean Women's Cricket Federation (CWCF) was founded in 1973.

In 1975 the CWCF staged the first edition of the Women's Cricket Federation Championships, which over time became the Women's Super 50.

The CWCF later rebranded to the West Indies Women's Cricket Federation (WIWCF), and in 2004 they agreed to a merger with the men's West Indies Cricket Board (later to become Cricket West Indies).

In 2026, CWI announced that the regional Women's Super 50 would be replaced with a development competition.

The End, of that chapter.


The International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC) was founded in 1958.

In 1973, the IWCC staged the first ever Cricket Wotld Cup, which now stands as the longest running world championship in cricket.

In 2005 the IWCC merged with/was taken over by the men's International Cricket Council (ICC).

Men's administrators of the ICC are currently debating the future of the one- day format...

Archie's costume deserves more love. I headcanon her as a leather worker. She made that vest, the armband, and the gauntlets. Practical, tough, and gorgeous.

I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.

It’s recycling night, but Sir Timiny of Cricket has asked that we refrain from adding his new domicile to this week’s bin.

Still funny to me that because I was banned from Star Trek for many years (correct self assessment that I would get too into it and then buy 300 books) it took me like a decade after Wraith Squadron was published to stop and go "WAIT that's the Kobayashi Maru!!!"

I visited this cool Computer World exhibition at the West Bund Art Museum in Shanghai last week and immediately thought of all the digital art shared by @hockeyviz.com. The knit pattern generated by roll of the die was particularly edifying.

when I ran the GSA and kids asked what to do when they saw someone being bullied or heard someone being homophobic or transphobic, I said that a lot of the time the harshest critique is just one of their peers saying "Gross, that's not funny." We used to practice saying it.
