I'm still waiting for my call for the FIFA Award for Literature.
It's such a shame the rest of the nominees are so transparent though; I mean, it's so obvious that the FIFA Prize for Physics is going to Putin 🙄

My side-passion alongside poker is sim-racing, and I'm in a big race with ESports Racing Canada (part of the FIA-affiliated ASN Canada). I put together a preview of sim-racing and the upcoming race for my poker magazine poker.pro.

I am pretty astonished with my final results from 2024 Season 3 of the SIMAGIC Formula Vee series on iRacing. It was my first official series and I started in Sept with no experience in iRacing or the car. I'd spent time previously in racing "games" like Forza or Need for Speed ...

And let’s not forget that the gay liberation movement was spurred by the activism of POC transwomen—Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.
Pride was for the liberation of all queers — our lesbian sisters, our they/them siblings, our bis, and our trans fam too.

At least *some* of these objects might be explicable as binary systems!

Astronomers find possible source for mystery radio signals - ICRAR
New data suggests mysterious 'long period transients' could be two orbiting objects, which together create a powerful repeating radio signal.

When I watch a new show with adverts I do everything I can to skip the ads. When I watch a vintage show that still has the vintage ads in it? OMG, I am fascinated by the nostalgia and the "look" at a world of the past lol
Kids today will never know how it feels to own a copy of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom taped off the TV at Christmas and you've watched it fifty times so you know the order of the adverts off by heart and you just flat-out watch them every time.

Terrible take from the Globe here. It's NOT an echo chamber as alternate voices are as free to join and speak as anyone else is. But free speech has ALWAYS meant that ppl are legally allowed to speak, but NO ONE is legally required to listen to them, engage with them, or platform them.
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Remember that free speech means I can't legally prevent you from speaking, but it has NEVER meant I have to listen to you or platform you. My freedom allows me to ignore what you have to say, if I so choose.

Social media IS for debating ideas, but the idea that I have to be willing to debate ANYONE who wants to on ANY subject is absurd. Just like real life, I can walk away from an "absurd argument" and just ignore it. That's not an echo chamber, that's simply curating who I want to talk with ...
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I've been playing driving games most of my life, though until recently, they were the more "arcade style" games rather than true sims. I bought an iRacing subscription for my birthday this year and jumped into the Formula Vee series, Season 4.
