Oh, that is an interesting development!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I like the idea of a teen room. It's been, um, 30 years since I worked in a public library. I remember the children's room was where a lot of parents dropped their kids off but not so much the older kids.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oooh, I just got a request for peer feedback on Coworker Who Thinks I'm Incompetent. She's not actually a peer and is senior to me, so I am going to have to think this through. Not that I would say anything bad, but I wonder if I can come up with something actually constructive.

My country presents: welcome to Eurovision 2019, honey. Enjoy our lovely bitches. [link] (I... think it's SFW?).

To some extent I think it's very funny (sometimes cringy) and tackles lots of stereotypes with humor, but maybe more as an inside-joke kind of funny? About half of the local comments are hating it. I hope Eurovision fans will get the humor, though.
In addition, I want a version of Lucy's yellow top.

My alarm went off this morning when I was in the middle of a vivid dream, so now I'm all groggy. But I have the distinct memory of being in a large garage and spotting a familiar kitty on the other side of the room. I called out to Shadow, who immediately came racing over to me and jumped into my lap for some serious snuggles. He was wearing a yellow vest that I recognized as some sort of service animal vest. So I guess he's spending his afterlife wandering Dreamland to snuggle up to people, especially as someone in the background was complaining that he had work to do. My apologies to Dreamland for apparently sneaking past a Staffmembers Only door, but I learned it from my father, that that's where you'll see the cool things.

I read the English comments, but there were too many I couldn't read and the browser doesn't automatically translate, but I wondered about the local comments. It's edgy for sure.

Aw, that's sweet, Connie.
Certainly an opportunity, Jesse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I'm supposed to be writing reviews for my staff, but man, I do not want to! I wish I had more time this weekend to pretend I would do it then. So I just went for a little walk to procrastinate and found some treats (pretzel sticks covered in cinnamon sugar -- surprisingly delicious) and a colleague with a weird question, so that killed some time, but I should NOT be killing time! I should be doing my work! Feh.
OK. I will jot down a few notes to get me started. I think I have one review meeting Monday and then nothing until Wednesday, anyway.
