This week I’ll mostly be listening to Bowie

Benin’s poster for their #AFCON game against Egypt went kinda hard, to say the least. Egypt won 3-1… www.instagram.com/p/DTFj8BRjF6...

Mr Amorim, do you like pies?

Trans People Make Glasgow

Big 7-Oh up for Bernard 🫡

It would be pretty on brand for Scotland to qualify for a World Cup that gets cancelled because the cohosts are at war. A whole new way to not get out of the group.

You love to see it

Great stuff, it really is

Yes, international diplomacy is hard but have you tried to get a teenager to study for their chemistry prelim?

“They’re brown people so fuck ‘em”

They sadly can’t both lose but if we get to have a good laugh at at least one of them it’s an acceptable outcome

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

They will, unfortunately, do absolutely nothing about it. At most, they’ll put out a statement saying they don’t agree with it. But nothing actually material that would make Trump even think twice about doing it again. We are completely beholden to the whims of a fascist paedophile

It’s very Bluesky that there are folk earnestly claiming that Trump should return the FIFA Peace Prize

Why were Brotherhood of Mann in West Brom tops? #TOTP

The look The Teenager gave at Terry Wogan #TOTP

Sorry I’m late #TOTP

Showed this to The Teenager and she said EXACTLY! (Apparently the ending was rubbish, didn’t get past episode 3 meself)

Dunno if we can blame ChatGPT for this one, given my sis in the past had to dissuade someone from naming their wean Febreze. And that’s before we get onto Versace McClatchie. Folk have always handed out stupid names.

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I. On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence. www.thegist.ie/guest-gist-2...

New Year, same shite. Can’t wait to see their branch offices obliterated in May. From which they’ll learn nothing.

What a deeply weird club Chelsea are.

What’s the ideal film to start 2026? Jaws? Why not.

You know who else loved animals more than people?

Surprised to learn Chubby Checker’s still alive

With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.

Nigeria look REALLY good #AFCON

Villa keep getting away with this and I’m very much here for it

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Well, we didn’t lose…
