I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Seems like a bus crashed into a private garden just outside of Slane towards Drogheda. Recovery works and Gardai on site, which will cause disruption, so choose alternative routes. #speirghorm

The meta, Meta and meaning of the Irish fuel protests - a longish read about what more than 20 years of studying and covering the far right has taught me about these political moments. #speirgorm philipoconnor.com/the-meta-met...
Police officers stand in the street, as tractors block Dublin's O'Connell Street, as part of a protest over the high cost of fuel that clogged up busy thoroughfares and motorways across Ireland for a second successive day, in Dublin, Ireland April 8, 2026

Never was the block ads function in you tube needed to work more than when Amazon decided to put out those creepy cumberbatch readouts. But obviously it doesn’t work.

I resent the term "visual podcast", and in fact believe it should be a criminal offense to say those words in sequence. #TraitorsIRL

YouTube, that awful place where a video won’t load but you will be forced to watch 30 seconds of unskippable ads every time you refresh trying to fix it.

The PrimeDay scam is not even subtle anymore. Hiking prices one day before so you end up buying things at a fake discount.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

“At 12:30 pm local time on Monday, the power went out. Across Spain and Portugal trains, planes, and traffic lights abruptly stopped working.” Airports, the word you’re looking for is airports. Planes aren’t wired if you have noticed.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

The contempt cannot be for beliefs because no one can verify what the other truly believes in. It is because they have systematically denied such respect and dignity and inflicted pain on others’ identities. The gaslighting is beyond me.

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.
This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

AI TAKING A WILD STAB AT IT WITH SOME
BLATANT MISINFORMATION

SPONSORED RESULT

And then right at the bottom just off screen is ‘the thing you want’

One of the most annoying behaviours of the Google assistant is how after any misunderstood command it gives you a 3 minute lecture on what it can do and how. It’s like just shut up bitch, so that I can repeat what you couldn’t understand, like the thousand times before, for the past 2 years.

What can I do if I suspect my postman is not delivering my mail? An Post sent me all the tracking details and the man was just around but I still haven’t got what I was advised I’d get today. This is the second expected delivery that doesn’t arrive in the last 2 weeks?
