@JustineToh @DaveTheoria @midnightmass @eucat_podcast It jumped the shark. But yes, the preceding six episodes are enough of a counterbalance.

@JustineToh @DaveTheoria @midnightmass @eucat_podcast I'm assuming you've finished @JustineToh ?

@natashaleemoore always writes with both sensitivity and conviction. And this is a discussion that needs both.

Shops in Dickson were evacuated over what was thought to be a potential gas leak. Turned out it was a durian

Already felt my (years ago) marriage proposal was underdone. This confirms that intuition.

The Japanese 🇯🇵 Puffer Fish is probably nature's greatest artist 🐟

To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief 😲

[Mark Stephens @mark_cpx]

@RJSalmond Certainly history plays a role here. The examples of bad faith in this space are many, and must be reckoned with. If Dowrick wrote an article in which she raised the question of how Perrottet will apply his particular convictions to a diverse populace, that's fine.

Trying to start a better conversation around Census stats

@sheerimage Thanks @sheerimage!
