fwiw, I'm inactive on this hell site now.
It was fun during the 2010s but now it's a far worse product: less engagement, clogged timeline, lower utility. Anyway, I'll be at:

@missrobinson she wasn't making that point. And she didn't declare it.
She was sprung and then WSU tried to cover for her

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

it’s so fucking crazy all the time… like one thing after another, so I mostly don’t react to it and let it wash over me. But every once in a while I have these moments of clarity where I’m like damn… what the fuck.

@chapschatcats Reckon Scott's developed the squad-like mentality of top EPL teams where he has a squad of 27-28 interchangeable players to manage thru year.
Someone said this week was the best 23 but Stanley, Bews, Bowes, Clark, Knevitt and Worpel (Stengle) could all come in before any kids.

the AFL is beyond parody.
It's my life's greatest shame I devote so much time and emotional energy to such a cack-handed, integrity-less entertainment

@RonnyLerner was teaching a class about branding today and couldn't help but use the AFL as an absolute disaster example on so many levels, even down to a dud website

A late Shouting at Clouds but some words about a special man and unique broadcaster, James Valentine.

And then some meaningless stuff about the Michael Jackson film, a Russell Crowe film, 2 great Sydney Theatre Company shows and the rest of pop culture.
