This should send World Cup attendance through the roof.

Trying to watch today's @brewers.com game. @mlb.com tells me I can only watch it on @appletves.bsky.social and they tell me I can't watch it at all since I'm in NZ. But if I was in Aussie I could watch, they helpfully(?) tell me. First world problem, I know, but still bullshit.

And also, it's about 1.5 times the size of a football pitch. The fuck does he plan to do there? Host conventions?

Right. This right here is exactly why my wife is in charge of keeping track of passports and such.

Years and years ago my wife and I had dinner at the revolving CN Tower restaurant, and it was fun to look down and see small planes circling the airport below our altitude.

I think the fraction you’re looking for is three-fifths.

As a former journalist, I often fear for the future of journalism. Then I read work like this and I have a glimmer of hope. Independent and local are the keys to the future of the fourth estate, and this is both. And it's excellent.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social if this is, in fact, an instalment of Spy vs Spy, shouldn’t you be wearing white?

Attendance at the World Cup ought to be gangbusters.

Not the point, but maybe in court filings seemingly educated attorneys could use proper punctuation and grammar. "$" means dollars. So does "dollars." Drives me crazy when goofballs like this say the same thing twice.

Yeah, I've often thought it's confusing that we both have dollars, since their values aren't even close. Maybe something like, "Pork mince is 17 piwakawakas per kilo."
