Liverpool won so many games late without playing well. Stands to reason they'd eventually get done late on with another bad performance

With the Eye cinema out of commission, the Omniplex in Salthill is the only real game in town in Galway. Wouldn't normally go there, so checking their site now They claim it's €1 cheaper to book online. But there is also a €1 booking fee per ticket. What a scam

Some people here love to dismiss ‘sportsball’ but S. African teams being banned from international competition was an important factor in ending Apartheid because it made their crimes real for non-political folk.

Why the recognition of Palestine matters. Why it won’t change anything in Gaza - but it could have a lasting impact for Palestine.

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action. "to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb

You'd think TDs would be too busy to be spending hours having their brains rotted on Facebook... Alas

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue. You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist

Politicos, hacks, news organisations and buffoons like Stephen King still clinging on to pretending it’s alright to *PAY* Elon Musk to use his platform - or be on it for a start. You’re funding a man calling on hundreds of thousands of people to carry out acts of violence.

I swear, love means nothing to a tennis player!

From the beautiful mind that brought you “let’s make crime illegal” As fun as it is to see this spoofer get humiliated, he should never have been on TV in the first place. He is, at best, a grifter and at worst, an actual far right moron who has never been close to getting elected at any point

i need you to understand that if you spend money on harry potter stuff, it is being used to harm me personally and people i care about. that is the trade off you're making.

The guise of appealing to younger fans is such a useful tool for shifting the blame when things change, when the answer is just obviously due to money Event holders think they can charge more for three days of action instead of two, that's the reason for more sprints, not reduced attention spans!

Said this so much, but "short attention spans" don't mean people want shorter, more engaging forms of sport. It means they want to also look at their phone while watching it. Young people love Twitch streams that last for hours with very little happening because they're not paying full attention.

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

Terrible news. RIP

The only difference between our reality and a Philip K Dick novel is the characters in a Philip K Dick novel don't choose to live like this

Sincerely hope the people in charge of Premier Sports are realising in real time that Burnley should never be on again for the rest of the season, no matter the context #EPL-Live

When you see a journalist ascribing human motivations to these energy-hoovering stochastic parrots they're baring their entire ass and loudly telling you they don't understand the technology they are writing about

Has criticising the rich become so uncommon from media that even just a single column making fun of something they said warranted throwing the toys out the pram? Should just be further ammunition to keep going after the stupid shit they say

My friend told me last week that their coworker is watching Lost for the first time, but that they're skipping the flashback scenes because they're "not important" and I think I still haven't recovered from receiving this information

“meanwhile, on X the everything app—” I don’t care. you should be elbow dropped for bringing this to my attention

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet. That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society. That's it. That's the post.

Hulk Hogan got boo'd out of the building on a WWE Raw episode this year, in this American climate. A fitting way for it to all come to an end for that guy

“I debated Mehdi Hasan and got fired for it” is going to turn into a viable grift for several of these fascist douchebags. This is why you don’t platform fascists.

So AI-generated music is not only all over Spotify, spammers have figured out how to get AI songs onto the profiles of real artists, many of whom are dead. Reason #23723487849 to quit spotify and also a reminder we live in hell www.404media.co/spotify-publ...

feels like one of the main divides in how people view ai is the reaction to its ingratiating servile tone. when ai is like "ouhhhh i'm so sorry i got that wrong sir, let my try again, you were right my liege" tech guys are like "i like this" instead of "what the fuck is wrong with you"

Many people “Bryan Mbuemo is a 20 goal in the PL player, he’s worth that” If we are saying he needs to hit 20 goals as the expectation to have this work I’ll be on the under.

So they were told a month ago he would cost 65m and they've today agreed to pay 71m. For a player in a position they don't need to upgrade as a priority. What a club
