Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

The #WNBL is reporting the sad news that Sydney and Syracuse alum Tiana Managakahia has lost her battle with breast cancer. She was still actively playing NBL1 in the first week of August (a conference semi, no less). Hard to hear the news after seeing her just weeks ago. #FuckCancer

Fixed it.

Batman towering over you, snapping the wooden stock of a shotgun in half with his bare hands as he says "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it." The shotgun is labeled - fragmented where it has been snapped in half - "AI (even if you're making fun of it)"

Reddit: I get it, you didn’t want to read about THAT crypto scam coin. Here are 367 recommendations for other scam coin subreddits.

Reminder,

Twitch (and other platforms) don't allow creators to control what ads are run on their streams, videos/VODs, podcasts, etc.

PLEASE don't instantly assume we want this. We're very likely just as pissed off (if not more) than you are about this.

Help us yell at the platform instead.

Hulk Hogan was a hero to millions so it’s sad that his reputation was tarnished by persistent rumours that many of his matches were fixed

The #NBADraft is so slow, it's almost more tedious than the Brownlow Medal count. Almost.

Proposal for next year's Draft- remove the time limit on picks, but impose a word limit on the talking heads on the panel. 75 words each, then Mark Tatum walks onto the set and steals their mics.

The Indiana court during game 6, a still from the NBA coverage on Movistar Spain. Note the Emirates logo (R wing inside the arc) and Finals logo (midcourt).

Logos were also visible on the Korean SPOTV feed…

…but not on the ESPN feeds (ABC, ESPN Deportes and Brazil).

Because I’m a huge nerd and possibly the only person who thinks this is interesting: the ESPN feeds on League Pass today had no #NBAFinals logos on the court, but the Korean and Spanish (Movistar Spain) feeds had Finals and Emirates branding. #NBA

i don't think there's a more self defeating anti-piracy system than streaming sites that don't let you take screenshots. i am trying to talk about your product on social media! for free! and you're making that logistically difficult just in case i'm dedicated enough to do it 30 times a second!

WNBL Unveils Bold New Brand | WNBL

Australia’s Women’s National Basketball League, now privately owned, announces a rebrand. wnbl.com.au/blog/news/wn...

#WNBL

Time to put my pundits' hat on. Top five: Austria, Spain, Netherlands, Finland, Malta. Switzerland and Sweden should poll well. Latvia last because it's just not very #Eurovision.

Ooh, Baby Lasagna/Kaarija rap battle in the interval! #ChaChaCha

Final count:
Shots taken: 28
Power leotard/boots combos: 4

Bookies' picks in Australia: Sweden, Austria, France, Finland
For the wooden spoon: UK, Norway, Portugal, Iceland, Denmark

But whatever. Time to vote! #Eurovision

🇸🇲 #SMR Good bounce-along song to (almost) end. Bonus points for the classical statue with the 'who farted' face in the background.

Pyro! Drink! (27)

🇦🇱 #ALB Not sure if it will change anyone's minds this late in the show, but the staging is striking.

Pyro! Drink! (28)

#Eurovision

🇸🇪 #SWE Just in case you were worried the show wasn't goofy enough this year. here's "Sauna". Bookies' favourites, apparently.

Pyro! Key change! Smoke! Drink! (25)

🇫🇷 #FRA Only the third-best French-language song of the night. Crowd loved the big finish, though.

Smoke! Drink! (26)

#Eurovision

🇵🇹 #POR Perfectly acceptable 'breather' in the midst of the ESC chaos. Not sure it's super memorable though.

🇩🇰 #DEN Not sure if it's just for TV but crowd has seemed subdued... until now. Actually heard clapping in the mix. Song is VERY Loreen.

Costume change! Wind machine! Drink! (22)
#Eurovision

🇨🇭 #SUI Deceptively simple lighter-waver. Really like this although not sure how it will do.

🇲🇹 #MLT If the British entry was &Juliet, this is "Moulin Rouge!" Nailed the vocals, could do well.

Costume change! Pyro! Drink! (20)

#Eurovision

🇬🇷 #GRE Flowing dress? Trees on fire? Slo-mo birds? She nails it, but it's #Eurovision Power-Ballad-By-Numbers.

Costume change! Drink! (16)

🇦🇲 #ARM Like Imagine Dragons but with more "rock" and less "SUV-commercial" vibe.

Pyro! Smoke machine! Drink! (18)

🇩🇪 #GER Choreography much more designed for TV than the live crowd. And that takes us to commercial break #2.

Wasn't sure about Tony and Courtney in the booth but Courtney is RIGHT at home at #Eurovision. And Tony's having a ball.

🇮🇹 #ITA Good spot for the lighter-waving singalong song, right at the halfway point. You're everything, Lucio.

🇵🇱 #POL Very low-key Eastern Europe power-pop.

Pyro! Drink! (15)

Should we add a drinking prompt for "performer suspended above the stage"? Because that's 2.

#Eurovision

🇳🇱 #NED Classic ESC fodder and going down well with the crowd. Good pop song that could poll well too.

🇫🇮 #FIN Will poll well purely on the basis of her 80s Pat Benatar power stance.

Smoke machine! Pyro! Drinks! Er-I-Ca chants! (14)

#Eurovision

🇮🇸 #ISL Techno sea shanties and big pixels. The biggest hit of 2021, ladies and gents! But might be just goofy enough to work.

Smoke machine! Key change! Drink! (11)

🇱🇻 #LAT Cyber-Enya Army, activate!

Smoke machine! Drink! (12)

#Eurovision

🇬🇧 #GBR Brave decision to be invisible to half the stadium as you start. Song could have been lifted out of a musical like a Six or &Juliet.

Pyro! Costume change! Drinks! (9)

🇦🇹 #AUT Saw the postcard. Now I want cheese. NAILED the vocals, though- kid almost out-Nemo'ed Nemo.

#Eurovision

Marg Downey on Fast Forward as the SBS continuity announcer. Long story if you weren't watching SBS in the late 1980s.

🇺🇦 #UKR Big 'The Darkness' vibes. Wouldn't want that to come up on karaoke night...

Smoke machine! Pyro! Drinks! (7)

Speaking of vibes, as host, Helga is giving big Marg Downey as SBS continuity announcer vibes. Or is that showing my age?
