Hang Five 569 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ✅ 100% playhangfive.com This was fun. Another one for the daily lineup of puzzles

An excellent start to season 2! (And an excellent way to spend half an hour on a public holiday)

Hearing @djag2.bsky.social go back to the “primary source” made that primary source sound even more unhinged, as impossible as that might seem!

Happy 600th anniversary to my alma mater, KULeuven.

Not quite @nytimes.com: Yes, the WTO has lost much of its ability to handle these legal disputes, but this started during Obama’s 2nd term. Also, the AB was never able to take “legally binding” decisions or make a Panel report such. This power belongs to the Dispute Settlement Body or DSB.

Not good news - whooping cough is a hideous illness and killed 3 babies in NZ last year. Reminder that vaccination during pregnancy is the best way to protect your baby for their first few months before they can be immunised themselves. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I hadn’t seen one of these yet so made one of all the ANZSIL members I could find over here. Apologies if I missed anyone - but there’s still space! go.bsky.app/53PWALS

Demons of IL will be responsible for my increased coffee consumption in 2025.

Perfect antidote indeed

Teacher only day and hosting 6 kids for a daylong play date for eldest’s birthday. They’re loving it.

If Seymour’s head hasn’t blown up not after he finds out about the 60k German speakers in the East of Belgium, he most certainly will when someone tries to explain the constitutional arrangements for Brussels…

Celebrating a decade as a parent today. What a decade it’s been…
