Sesame Street, a show created for public access television to help kids from low-income families learn to read and write, is being put being a paywall which will prevent the kids who most need it from accessing it.
The past 50 seasons are also included in that so they can't be streamed anywhere else.

Fuck capitalism.

Pirate Sesame Street.

Awesome fun at Tropical Steampunk last night, including the gong for best costume!

@daedalus is the plex sharing working ok for you? (I get some buffering on the hi-res very long videos)

Parenting, shoddy baking

The #Minecraft cake for Mr 6 is not as good as I'd hoped, and he's too young to be diplomatic about the effort, but I hope it brings a smile anyway.

Lawn Sprinklers!
The Passive Aggressive's weapon of choice! 🧐 My Aussie kids catch an iconic American yellow school bus here in Florida. One of the "neighbours" doesn't like the wear and tear on his grass, so he has programmed the front lawn sprinkler to come on 5 minutes before the bus comes, and switch off 3 minutes after it leaves. 😂

I am listening to the man behind me on the plane tell his seat buddy his entire personal, professional and family history.

And I am wearing noise-cancelling headphones.

LEGO hot tip!

If you have troublesome pieces stuck together, you can try using a needle puller. It’s like a tiny jar gripper that’s perfect for dealing with small objects. They’re usually a few bucks for a 3 pack at craft stores.

(Brought to you by kid bringing me pieces they’ve tried to pry apart with their greasy little fingers)

So I play as Australian in Civ6 - because Aussie but also because they're a good fit for a science win (my preferred playstyle) which has always amused me.

Gathering Storm introduces climate change, and there's been no tweak to compensate for the Aussie perk to coastal cities now being a very very mixed blessing.

I thought this was a bad oversight, but I have now realised that getting screwed by global warming is actually more strayn than inventing WiFi and winning the space race.
