On my last flight, a guy wanted to get off the plane to look for a bag he thought he’d left at the gate. Staff couldn’t let him but called, but no bag there. His partner called them insane. Turns out it was in the overhead locker. When we disembarked, he emptied a ketchup packet on his seat.

One suspects that there's a Venn diagram overlap with the gentleman who gave you that business card saying that you'd be great in the "adult entertainment" industry...

Drafted a decent RB2 but also traded for Mike Evans to give them a WR that the opposition has to take seriously

They've been on a slide character-wise for the last several years and become more & more like every other Victorian-based club. But here's a chance to lay down a marker - if they act against those involved, irrespective of what it does their finals chances, they might save the "Bloods" culture. If.

And he should have chosen her because she was the sort of woman he really wanted: he was never really the straight laced astrophysicist looking for a serious relationship, he wanted to be an influencer celebrity and should have been brave enough to choose accordingly. I have never recovered.

Interestingly, Google's AI overview for "mina kimes preseason prediction for coach of the year in 2025" also says "Pete Carroll" while linking the YouTube video where she clearly says what's in the transcription. Is that just for me or for everyone who does the same search?

To be fair, they’ve always meant that you should keep YOUR politics out of sport while they promote theirs. It’s exactly as their “free speech for me but none for thee” or their declaration of support for “family values” while cheating on their wives. Hypocrisy and cowardice are their hallmarks

Agree with part 1 but not part 2 - really it's the same far right stuff being pushed by the same players as in the UK and USA, which is why Pauline Hanson had such a chummy interview with Tommy Robinson. Thankfully we have better election safeguards but we still need to be vigilant

I loved the writing and the ideas in it - but for his illness & subsequent death at only 58, I'm sure he would have gotten there. As it is, we only have hints and suggestions.

The First Chronicles: absolutely! The Second Chronicles - fun and interesting but very, very unfinished, and not really resolved by the short stories that followed.

Corwin was that sort of person, but the first Chronicles are very much about how is walking away from that person and becoming someone else. I thought his closing narration in the Courts of Chaos was heartfelt and beautiful and reflected the journey he'd been on.

It makes zero sense to me - the Dems have no chance of winning that Senate seat and McConnell's replacement is just going to be an even crazier MAGA type. In the meantime, the GOP is down a vote in the Senate, not that legislation is anything this administration cares about.

The hard thing about “low info” is how they react to getting info that contradicts their existing biases. There’s that study that showed some people would actually cling more strongly to their beliefs when presented with contradicting evidence. Is she still voting for Paxton?

Any idea how she's going to deal with that cognitive dissonance? Past evidence suggests that she will tell you that all your news articles are from the fake mainstream media. Also interested in what she thinks about Talarico - has she bought the lies that he's a vegan and has low testosterone?

I have to be honest: FFVII was my first FF game and blew me away. I loved FFVIII even more. FFIX I was like "wtf?" and it just didn't land with me: I get that it's probably truer to what FF was before VIII, but of the FFs I have played (which admittedly is not that many) it's my least fave.

I was going to say that it's always cool to be unapologetically yourself, but if you're a malignant narcissistic, you're not cool. I can respect the honesty, but that's an even better reason to NOT vote for you for ANYTHING.

They benefit more by not cutting him. When they do cut him, his remaining contract will all become dead cap instead of being pro-rated into subsequent years. A team might have offered something for him together at him into training camp sooner, but at this point no-one is doing that

Not sure I agree with this - it’s always seems to me like One is herself, Two is Gina Reinhardt and Three is anyone and anything that will give her a media hit. She may have more authentic small business owner roots than Trump but she left them long ago for the same grift

Do you mean both Evangeline Lily and Matthew Fox? As someone who wasn’t watching it but only hearing about it from his sister, it seemed like the writers let go of the plot and got themselves into to the same place as Patrick Rothfuss with the Kingkiller Chronicles ie. with no good way out

talezassian.bsky.social @talezassian.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Yeah, that’s often a problem - especially when the next book is supposed to be immediately after, like Jim Butcher’s “Peace Talks” and “Battleground”. Re-read them recently before reading the next one, that helped

My sister was a big fan of Lost, but I only ever watched the very last episode, which I quite enjoyed. Probably helped that I didn’t know much about the unresolved plot lines. I also think it helped that it had been ages since I read the earlier Wheel of Time books before reading the last ones

1st Christmas: doesn't matter, they don't understand what's happening anyway. 2nd Christmas: YES, it's all about the boxes (and the wrapping paper, particularly after it's come off the box). It's from the 3rd Christmas on that they figure out that what's in the box is the good stuff...

It’s a recognition that “football” in Australia is a diverse term in itself that means different things to different people - AFL, rugby league. We love our sport!

With a tie in an older rom-com as well, IIRC - I watched this for the first time last year when our streaming service had it. The giant corporation wasn't necessarily Evil back in that day - not yet, I guess. Quite liked it - the role of the unsuspecting one is reversed compared to Sleepless.

Watched it myself last night after a similar passage of time. It also very much romanticizes the idea of love at first sight and "the spark", but that's why it's a rom-com (albeit more "rom" than "com"). I found myself obsessed with how gorgeous Meg Ryan's hair is throughout.

They didn't say which voters they were going to listen to: clearly it's not the actual conservatives who have turned to independents like the Teals. I'd like the think that - unlike the US - Australia doesn't have enough of the types of voters they are actually listening to win an election.

To be fair, I agree with the delivery driver. Jackson, Boyer et al did a wonderful job of translating The Lord of the Rings to film, but there just wasn’t the substance in The Hobbit to make it a trilogy and the story could never be as epic. They had to invent stuff that was just blah

On the plus side, we know that any such "deal" is not worth the paper it's not even written on. because Trump does not keep any of the promises he does make. There's a reason "TACO Tuesday" is a meme.
