People suprised by the unfit playing surface at Townsville last night for #AusVBra is a sign they don't follow football here too closely. I've no plans to attend Roar games at Suncorp this year mainly due to the substandard playing surface that often negatively impacts the quality of play.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

We can now look forward to a long appeal process, I know. But we can also say, now, "Manchester City, who were found guilty of 114 charges..." every time we mention the club's name; and I believe we should. No more "allegations". They were found guilty, and that is a fact.

I went and made this for ya, it was too good a meme
meme featuring three panels. the top panel is a picture of a headline over Jason from the Good Place. The headline says "AI could be a bubble and is not yet making Australia more productive, Michele Bullock Says".

Underneath is a caption: "I think AI might be a bubble".

The second panel is Michael with a shocked expresson standing next to Janet. He says "The RBA figured it out? the RBA?"

The third panel is Michael touching his stomach. He says "This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts."
