Yeah, it’s largely to avoid the AFL, and also so as not to dilute the main season. Soccer has shifted about a bit in terms of time of year historically in Aus, plus with no promotion and relegation, it’s a bit less of an issue.

@garyandrews.bsky.social gives his assessment of what we can expect from the new - slightly smaller - season of A-League Men which starts this weekend.

It’s been one hell of a game. Proper cup final.

Wow. Australia Cup final has got off to a flyer. Constant action, Heidelberg looked dangerous for the first 8 minutes. No surprise to see them taking the lead. This feels like a cracker.

Every episode we've ever made is available online - over 400 hrs of content - so it's likely that the machines used to build this have got a bit of us inside them. Expect these pods to tell you Mike Ashley only offered Alan Pardew an 8 year contract because he believed the world was ending in 2012

This just feels incredibly depressing and another way of gaming the system.

So many questions. Not least why on earth you’d want to do this? Or to show the bits that the artist deliberately left out? It’s almost like a lot of tech people have no soul.

The music industry is building the tech to hunt down AI songs With no way to stop the onslaught of AI music, the industry is taking a different approach: figuring out how to make money off of it.

Kinda interesting. If you cant beat them, make money off them?
