👴🏻Women athletes don't get paid as much as men, because no one watches women's sports!

But...

12.3 million people watched the Iowa vs LSU women's basketball game yesterday.🤯

From Front Office Sports: that's "more than:

• Every women's college basketball game ever
• Every ESPN college basketball game ever
• Every MLB game last season
• Every NHL game last season
• Every MLS game last season
• Every NBA game last season except one
• Every CFB regular season game last season except one"

Sanjay Puri Architects has completed a spiral community center.

"Taking a cue from traditional Indian courtyards and sand dunes simultaneously, the built space swirls from the ground level to a nine-metre height, creating a semi-sheltered open amphitheatre & allowing the roof to be accessible as a garden space,"

Roku hackers breach 15,000 accounts and are selling them online:

"If the account had stored credit card info, hackers could also purchase subscriptions within Roku for services such as Netflix, Max, Paramount Plus, Hulu, Peacock, Disney Plus, and others. Bleeping Computer also found that hackers are selling the stolen information for around 50 cents per account on a hacking marketplace."

One of my biggest problems is that I hoard interesting problems. I think of them as things to personally solve rather than share with my team 🙃. I take on the characteristics of Smaug, which is clearly not a good thing.

While I understand the comedic intent, and the wonderful paradox of this whole scene in Back to the Future. I also cannot help but see it as a nearly perfect metaphor for stealing music from black people, and then presenting it to a mostly white audience as original. 🙃

I was looking at implementing #ActivityPub with #dasblog a while back, and I admittedly struggled and lost my enthusiasm for the project. However, I have found @mapache explanations and tutorials incredibly helpful and intuitive.

I am following his guide here: https://maho.dev/2024/02/a-guide-to-implement-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website/

DasBlog is not static so some of this does not apply, but enough does, and for the rest I can easily overlap gaps with the rich blogging engine. I am currently on step 5, this is happening!
