@brendanfsc Well done in the auction!

If I had a nickel for every time i got an Asian Cup Final shirt, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

@marissalordanic Same! Love it!

Extremely niche but Lydia Williams, BC tourism ambassador is really an incredible overlap of my interests

“ Looking back at Earth, it truly emphasized how alike we are - and how special and precious that is when you notice how much else there is around it.” - Christina Koch

The Moon and light from at least five objects in our solar system appear in this view from the @NASAArtemis II crew: Saturn, Mars, and Mercury, along with reflected sunlight from Earth and the glow of the Sun's corona and/or zodiacal light scattered by interplanetary dust. 1/2

The eclipse from Orion. On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.

@astro_reid In this image, also taken from the Orion capsule, we see the divide between night and day, known as the terminator, cutting across Earth. Whether awake or dreaming, we're all here on this planet together.

These two images were taken by @astro_reid only minutes apart. The stark difference is the result of camera settings. In the first, a longer shutter speed let in much more light from Earth, while the shorter shutter speed in the second emphasizes our planet's nighttime glow.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@diekarasu Probably in disgust at the umpiring 😂😂

MY HOUSE JUST HAD A BLACKOUT AT THE 91st MINUTE WHAT THE FCK

@thefarpostpod @marissalordanic Thanks for the brilliant pods. Loved the little insights- Angela was spot on the chief Taiwan clapper. I noticed him too! Hope you all enjoyed Perth. Please do a live pod next time. Re: tonight, felt Gorry was being picked on. The Chinese fans were loud- what can we do to cheer?

Send us your questions about #CHNvAUS! Also, please be aware that tomorrow's pod WILL. BE. LATER. than we would like as we will be in the sky for much of the day. Hold your Naaras, it will happen.

@ejburke_ 😂😂 Safe travels. Been enjoying the DubsCast reviews

realising I'm free from the Perth tap water....

@ejburke_ A lot of it is from ocean desalination so does check out

all the tap water in this state tastes vaguely like the ocean

@sputnikvalntine This is brilliant

world cup qualified baby #wac2026

@diekarasu That’s too funny 😂

that kid's sign is all redacted?

@diekarasu That’d be a proud dad moment for me 😂😂

was sitting in the car with the wife when she got a phone call from the school, after a bit of conversation, she started apologizing. when she hung up, i asked her "ok what did she do this time?" "your daughter called the teacher a communist"

@sputnikvalntine @thefarpostpod Dubscast & maybe Beyond 90. I haven’t checked out the Asian Game yet

need more Asian cup podcasts directly into my bloodstream please any recs outside of @thefarpostpod? Preferably a 24/7 run of ball chatter

@AronCCM @diekarasu Do you mean the CommBank offer? Or is there more free tickets? Asking for a friend haha

@diekarasu there are tickets going for free... albeit to the non-major teams but still

random hot take: if an event organizer turns on dynamic "in demand" pricing, then we should be seeing dirt cheap tickets if the event is not sold out
