Why did Sarah Hall stamp her new novel with a “human-written” maker’s mark? On AI and “creative larceny.”

21 years ago we had stillborn twins. It still hurts. I cannot express in words the loathing I feel about these men. To suggest people would cash in on such excruciating loss says everything you need to know about these “moral conservatives.” Arseholes. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

"...what decade (yes, I said decade) will it be, when an AFL club has a men’s team that is doing well, but a women’s team that is doing very poorly, and the powerful coteries make a move to sack their club’s board because of the poor performance of the women’s team?"
Indeed.

Time to randomly promote my newsletter again: this week it’s about dressing for weightlifting. For the women at Atletika in Sydney, it is about performance, comfort, and finding your power. Just look at the sports bra.

I've always worried about how I look in the gym. I’ve realised that dressing for weightlifting, however, is about performance, comfort, and finding your power. Just look at the sports bra.

So I just sat in the freezing cold & watched #AFLWGiantsDons & I love this team but for the LOVE OF GOD I can NOT take another season of this. The players should not have to take another season of this.

The GWS Giants continue to be the most maddening team. You can’t come out and play like you don’t care for a half and then mow down the opponent every week. You’re going to get found out. One high point: I’ve a rainbow flag in the Giants cheer squad section and that is highly unusual but lovely.
