TFW your 3.5 yo son reads a word out loud in your presence, for the first time ever.
Thanks to Enrique Pinzon from Stata.com for his fan and super detailed lecture on Causal Inference at @unimelb.edu.au . Thanks to David White from SDAS www.surveydeaign.com.au for organising.
Je connais bien "les chasseurs" (The Huntsmen). Cettes araignées ont l'air d'être dangereuses mais les plus dangereuses sont ici au Victoria les "araignées au dos rouge" (Redbacks). Il faut aller à l'hôpital immédiatement après une attaque. J'habite en Aus depuis 15 ans et je l'ai vu une seule fois.
Wearing an almost 40 year old "Canadian" baseball jersey on Canada Day. Been with me everywhere. Many very positive responses on the street and train: "Happy Canada Day".
I must say, I hope you are not relying on the BlueSky auto-translate to understand this post, because the translation is really really bad. Frightfully bad. "My hovercraft is full of eels" is closer. (A bonus for you Monty Python fans)
Just had my first job in the gig economy. Well by accident. I just happened to be the second to last customer and the poor delivery man's car had a flat. Then we tried to change the tire but the jack broke. So I delivered the last delivery and my neighbour got his jack and changed tire. All good!
Ich kaufe gerne bei Aldi. Hier in Australien führt Aldi Ahornsirup aus Kanada. Wahrscheinlich auch in D. Check bei Lidl, Penny etc. BioAhornsirup ist einfach Beschiss u Geldmacherei.
Yay my books arrived in far away Australia! Thanks @pboyle.bsky.social

Have learned that hot air heating vents must be taped to the floor with gorilla tape, when you have two kids under 3.5. Seems like Paw Patrol figures magically end up stuffed in the vent. Like 10 of them. Live and learn.
My Pixel last night. I could see the moon so plainly but alas the camera did not pick it up.
"Sometimes I look into your eyes, I swear I can see your soul" Missing the wonder greyhound Sissy, 5 years on. RIP sweetie. One of the 1/20 that made it out of the racing industry alive. Rescued by Greyhound Safety Net (VIC). Queen of her mama and papa's heart. youtu.be/nKdJ-yXcqRM?...
Fabulous initiative for the State of Victoria in Australia. Let us take public transport, and beat the crazy cost of petrol these days (smooth move America, thanks for nothing). It is the best deal ever. If you can take the train, tram, or bus, please do it.
Canadiens fan. Originals. Never traded. Only bought by pack from cornerstore with weekly allowance money. With pink bubblegum strips or hard-fought won at recess in primary school. Because Ken Dryden was from Hamilton and my parents previously lived in Montréal.
Vindman brothers are HEROES. Highest respect. @avindman.bsky.social @gene4va.bsky.social @repvindman.bsky.social In a world full of slimy gutless Speakers of the US House, be a VINDMAN instead.
This is the 5 day stock price chart of BOEING that supposedly JUST made a brand new deal to sell min 200 (max 700+) jets to China - a huge number. It seems the real market is not impressed.

Please @kajakallas.bsky.social find a way to let Canada join the EU.
