This may be an "old woman yells at cloud" moment, but I genuinely do miss when a game just released fully and that was it. No extra DLC content, no micro transactions, etc. Just buying the game and you get the ENTIRE experience in box.

I wrote this column the other week (paywalled) which included part of the statement from the NZ Rugby League Board who have made a submission against ACT’s divisive bill. Folks seem to have missed this move but I think it’s important from a sport like league. www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/there-...

26000 days ago (October 18, 1953), the newly-relocated Orioles agree to buy territorial rights to Baltimore from the International League for $48,749. That’s about 57% of what the highest paid player in baseball, Ted Williams, earned in 1953 ($85,000).

Xmas has changed. 35 yrs ago, my non-Latino family in the US, told me 'never say you're Mexican. You don't want Americans knowing your mom is from Mexico'. Tonight, all my family not from the USA, told my kid, 'always say you're Mexican. You don't want Swedes knowing your dad is from the US.'

It's Christmas Eve. 'And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.' A detail of Harry Stammers' great 1950s scheme of glass in the Blacader aisle of Glasgow Cathedral.

One of my absolute favourite #stainedglass windows for #ChristmasEve's #AdventAngels, here showing the shepherds hearing the 'good tidings' at Stokesay, #Shropshire, by Henry Payne, 1904. There's no fear here, the sheep still placidly cropping the lush spring-like grass...

It should be bigger news that the leader of a political party is arguing for us to abandon human rights (the UK drafted the 🤬 EHRC)! Farage wants to argue that the UK can't be prosperous without treating people inhumaney? People want to vote for that? Will it be more or less prosperous than Brexit?

London, Ontario vs Utrecht, Netherlands. Both cities started in the same era & have similar populations (400,000). Yet Utrecht is lovely and walkable. What were their 2 divergent paths? youtu.be/4uqbsueNvag?...

Think about all the things that can fit when we just stop surrendering most of our urban space to cars. Urban life can fit. Before & after street pedestrianization of Rue Rambuteau in Paris. HT to @emmanuelspv.bsky.social

Solid career! Tied with Chris Gayle at 4th most test sixes. Bad ass for a bowler who has the second most test wickets, behind Sir Richard Hadlee, for New Zealand! 🤘🏼 www.espncricinfo.com/story/tim-so...
