To save some people a minute, from Wikipedia:

The Great Male Renunciation is the historical phenomenon at the end of the 18th century in which wealthy Western men stopped using bright colours, elaborate shapes and variety in their dress, which were left to women's clothing. Instead, men concentrated on minute differences of cut, and the quality of the plain cloth. Coined by British psychologist John Flügel in 1930, it is considered a major turning point in the history of clothing in which the men relinquished their claim to adornment and beauty.

What a question. Last month I dusted off the PS4 for a month of PS Plus, playing the first 2 Uncharted games and trying a few other games - Far Cry 6 and Assetto Corsa were good enough to buy on PC later.

As of yesterday I'm back on the PC playing M&B 2 Bannerlord.

This (applies everywhere). Besides it's all aimed at boomers and not at all engaging. People who are internet savvy can easily find better free content.

It was reopened because section 26 of Tasmania’s Anti-Discrimination Act 1998 allows discrimination on the grounds of promoting equal opportunity for a disadvantaged group of people.

Obviously women are a disadvantaged group, but can anyone tell me how this space promotes equal opportunity?

Interesting that there are still groups excluding women and I hope they get challenged soon too, but I don't think that answers my question.

More congestion, more roads, more money wasted, more stress and depression

I used to live sport but I gave up on watching because of the influence of gambling on the entire system. It will be nice to have that gone but I don't think I'll go back.

Bold move for Voldemort who's always loved the free market and despised boycotts.
