Yeah, if I'd had a coathanger... Last time, the NRMA couldn't get in, so we knocked on a door, got a coathanger and away I went. The NRMA bloke was amazed...

Many SLPs agree that sign language pathology falls under their scope of practice, but they feel unprepared to meet the communication needs of people who use sign language. Authors suggest opportunities to advance clinical education and training https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2026_PERSP-25-00238

What the Tiger Shark Ate (and Why it Matters) When a tiger shark coughs up an echidna, it’s more than internet gold—it’s a surprisingly useful clue to our changing oceans.

How does an echidna end up in a tiger shark's stomach?

A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Scapegrace,” defined as a graceless, unprincipled, wild, or reckless person. The design includes ornate Victorian typography at the top and an engraved illustration of two disreputable-looking men in old-fashioned clothing, one leaning conspiratorially toward the other. Below the definition is a humorous example sentence about a man named Thaddeus Sludgewicke, described as a cheerful scapegrace whose conscience works with notable delay.

Scapegrace [SKAYP-grayss]
(n.)
- A graceless, unprincipled person; one who is wild and reckless.

Used in a sentence:
“Thaddeus Sludgewicke was no villain of calculated design, only a blithe scapegrace whose conscience, when it stirred at all, did so with admirable tardiness.”

Sending this busy echidna to brighten your day.
The echidna is a native Australian mammal and one of only two egg-laying mammals (monotremes).
Fun fact: A baby echidna is called a puggle.
I spotted this one at Red Banks CP near Burra a few years ago. (A good place to find these creatures, btw.)

This table presents a comparative overview of consonant phonemes across MSA and the main regional Saudi Arabic dialects. The inventory highlights both shared features across Saudi dialects and Gulf regions. Phonological data are synthesized from multiple sources (AlAjroush, 2020; Aldarsoni, 2011; Alfaifi & Davis, 2021; Alghamdi, 1998, 2015; Al Taisan, 2022; Alqattan, 2015; Holes, 2004; Turki, 2022; Watson, 2002; Watson & Al-Azraqi, 2011), as well as the author's own field observations.

We had a 'data forensics' lab meeting yesterday. We investigated everyone's close-to-submission datasets under the (false) assumption the data was faked & we had to find proof 🔍🧐

We found some mistakes & weirdnesses and it was such a good exercise in good data management! Highly recommend!

Tomorrow the PM is meeting state and territory leaders about the fuel crisis.

They should discuss making public transport free for as long as the crisis goes on.

And as the Federal government is backing the war, they should pick up the tab.

Security needs an uograde.

Wonderful....
