@liveladders.com - The site is projecting both Hawks/Lions to finish on 15/15.5 wins.

Not sure how that works?

Alright, who broke @squiggle.au?

I am being forced to suffer the great injustice of using the offical AFL website.

Is that the best result ever by a bottom 2 side v top of the ladder in the 18 team era (excluding the first 3 rounds)?

Also wonder how close it goes to the all time record #AFL #AFLNorthLions

They better not call this early. Drag it out all night I say.

Watching James McGrath drown is hilarious.

I thought I was the only person in the country not getting spammed by Trumpet of Parrots.

Just discovered my phone has automatic spam detection. Sorry I missed your messages Clive, they were all going to my phone's spam folder without telling me.

LNP is in trouble in Vic when the best campaign strategy they can come up with is flooding TV with attack ads on the state premier. Pretty confident the Premier is not running in the federal election.

Kinda running out of time to do a TV ad with some sort of policy message, but what would I know.

You know it's a boring election when even the media aren't bothering with the cliche about how this vote is the most important in a generation, just like the last election, the election before, and the election before that.

Donald Trump has imposed a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands – an uninhabited Australian external territory that contains two active volcanoes – according to a White House graphic listing it as a country

Norfolk Island has also been hit with a 29% ‘reciprocal tariff’

Google is getting worse.

Obviously only West Irish crocodiles are native to Ireland.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

If the AFL scheduled the first game of the season to occur in round one, they wouldn't have to deal with a cyclone crisis right now.

Haven’t talked about it here, but I do, among other things, freelance data analytics work, so if you or your company need a contractor to analyse some data, drop me an email (address is on the website

Logged into Twitter for the first time in a while, only to find multiple Alex Jones posts pumped into my feed.

Not sure why I was surprised.

Australia lost the SCG Test in which Waugh brought up 10000 runs. Smith needs to be dismissed for less than five here if Australia are to win this. #AUSvIND 🏏

Predictions for 4 January 2025: Robbie Willliams finally decides its time to go back to the hotel and sleep.

Telstra's getting worse.

Won't take a credit card payment via bPay... and calling the pay by phone number tells me to call back in business hours. Bit confused why an automated computer service needs to clock off at 6pm. No, my account is not overdue, seems tied to Telstra billing system 'upgrade'

bluesky has a cool feature called starter packs - you can create a list of accounts and/or feeds as a recommendation that people can click once to follow.

I've put together the beginnings of one for the footy nerd community on here. Tell me who I've missed (including yourself).

Further to my last post and in the spirit of lovely collaboration that I really like about this site, this is a really helpful tool.
