You're not 'capturing a special moment' when you're filming every song at a gig. You're too addicted to your phone to leave it alone for a couple of hours and simply enjoy the experience.

This absolutely sickens me. Bezos, a braying donkey who made his fortune by avoiding charging state sales taxes (undercutting everyone else's prices) and exploiting his workforce, is completely incompatible with Liverpool FC's values. Fuck him. This cannot be allowed to stand. #LFC #YNWA #RedSky

The thought of that malignant, twisted, war mongering, rapist, racist, misogynist here is infuriating. I bet our governing muppets will roll out the forelock tugging welcome - an embarrassment to us all! if one Doonbeg local does an ‘shure isnt he great’ interview!! 🤬🤬🤬#feckofftrump #nototrumpvisit

Donald Trump is holding up bipartisan legislation to lower your housing costs because he wants to take your ability to vote away. He’s a tyrant – and Republicans shouldn’t let him get away with it.

Everybody is also fully aware that weapons inspections were part of the deal Obama struck with Iran in 2015, which you tore up in 2018. These last 8 years without inspection are your fault, so there’s no credit or praise for reinstating them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Really feeling the centre cannot hold so it’s time again for this gem
The Second Coming
W. B. Yeats 1865 - 1939
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

A solid band of solar on yesterday's chart! Total for the day was 11.8GWh -- a new one-day record on the Irish grid. Electricity demand is usually lowest on Sundays and at one point yesterday afternoon solar was meeting just over 30% of the island's demand -- another new record.
A stacked area chart of the renewable electricity generation mix on the island of Ireland with the following fuel types: battery, pumped storage, biomass, waste-to-energy, hydro, solar, wind, and gas. The y axis indicates the percentage of demand being met by each source.

This is a death spiral if I’ve ever seen one. What the hell is Spotify thinking?
@Kurrco
Spotify and Universal Music Group have announced a licensing deal that will let Spotify Premium users create Al-generated covers and remixes of songs from participating artists and songwriters.
The upcoming tool will launch as a paid add-on and is designed to let artists and songwriters earn money from licensed fan-made Al covers and remixes.
Spotify says the model is built around "consent, credit, and compensation."

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Tesla Cybertruck sales inflated: SpaceX bought 1,279 units
New registration data confirms what Electrek has been reporting for six months: Tesla’s Cybertruck sales are being propped up by Elon Musk’s other companies. SpaceX alone bought 1,279 Cybertrucks in Q4 2025 — 18% of every Cybertruck registered in the US that quarter. Without those inter-company purchases, Cybertruck registrations would have fallen 51% year-over-year instead of the numbers Tesla reported. more…

The fuel protest, which began with serious and legitimate concerns about the cost of fuel and living, had more or less been hijacked by the anti-migrant, anti LGBTQI, anti woke, ‘Ireland First’ far right. This is losing the protestors a lot of support, as it should #fuelprotest
