Two numbers are being dropped by the National Lottery as part of changes to the Lotto and Lotto Plus games.

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

I may have posted it before but in case you haven’t seen her here is my capybara pebble. She had fallen out of an old flint wall in Linton Cambridgeshire & was lying on the pavement 🤎

Poor Morocco. 🇲🇦 Wanted them to win but I’m also awed by Mbappé and the French team. They look unbeatable.

Literally takes orders from a predator sex pest felon and he has the audacity to say this stuff. If his faith was real, he’d have to go to confession for lying.

Telling me an American senator is “brain dead” doesn’t really narrow it down for me, I’m afraid.

During the 2001 Miss Gay Black America pageant, Tandi Iman Dupree made this iconic entrance leaping from the ceiling onto the stage to the tune of Bonnie Tyler’s "Holding Out For A Hero”. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHQA...

With that gravelly voice, those epic songs and the huge personality, Bonnie Tyler made an impression that has lingered on. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Those are not Spirit Fingers!

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

If Taylor Swift really wanted a private wedding venue she should’ve considered the National Mall.

Soccer was invented to trick Americans into learning where other countries are.

Sweden introducing literal Second Class Citizenship is a really gross misstep. It’s the road to seriously discriminatory treatment of specific classes of people and will most certainly be used by worst sorts of people to do the worst kinds of things. Shameful.

Wind turbines are such an eyesore.

Please do come check out the amazing range of music we have on offer at this year’s always eclectic New Music Dublin, April 16-19 at NCH and other venues. I’ll start posting about some of these concerts to highlight these (sometimes crazy) delights www.newmusicdublin.ie

Me watching this #ireland match:

Yes! JESSIE

Watching Mastermind on the BBC and I’m struck by the slipping standards in production that have allowed people on the telly wearing clothing that strobes. My eyes! Have production standards slipped so far that contestants are not advised on what to wear? Or is it all done by AI robots these days?

I see the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize has launched a preemptive peace attack to prevent peace breaking out from inside the Epstein files.

This is another shot across the bow of the Irish economy as the tech industry starts to take the position that it doesn’t need employees. Our government needs to get ahead of these people in terms of regulation, energy costs and tax before they burn us to the ground. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

This is why the fascists are afraid of arts and culture and want to control it. Because they know it’s ultimately more powerful and influential than the fear and hate that they peddle.

These dumb racist Americans who love to whinge about the erasure of Irish culture know NOTHING about Irish culture or who actually tried to erase it. And who says Scotch these days unless they’re ordering a whiskey?

Now that Bluesky has drafts, I can finally unleash my inner troll by crafting savage and shady skeets about you all and you’ll never know until the inevitable data breach.

Putting the ski in skincare.

Just like Trump always has a tweet to reveal himself a hypocrite, Shakespeare always has a quote for the moment.

I am howling at a comment from a Brit media commentator who insisted that incidents of corruption/cash for influence with politicians would decrease if they were paid more! LMAO If you need to be bribed to act in the public interest, I’d suggest it’s not in the public interest to elect you, bro!

Americans really be using their confidential Excel spreadsheets on their business laptops in European airports thinking nobody else speaks English.

Jeffrey Epstein took more photos of people he only hung out with once than I have of my best friends of 15 years

BREAKING: Viewers of “Melania” Documentary Receive Call Telling Them They Will Die in 7 Days

As well as being funny, it shows that the arts & cultural sector (unlike so many other sectors and Nikki Minaj 🤡) have largely refused to capitulate to Trump. Remember that.

Just saw the Anniversary on Netflix, which feels (almost too?) timely. Watching as an American family is ripped apart as the country lurches towards authoritarianism seems a bit on-the-nose but it’s also stressful 🤣 Filmed in Dublin too, which provided light relief from the fascism.

There is a mental health crisis happening in front of our faces. It’s a symptom of the world we are creating for young people to live in. This is a moral failure on our part and young people are suffering – and dying – in huge numbers as a result.

“Melania” is truly the worst experience I’ve had in a theater” -Abraham Lincoln

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Every “innovation” in late-stage capitalism seems to take products that we could once buy and own and turn them into a rental or subscription service. It’s a money-making racket that no one asked for. Except shareholders. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

As the Oscar nominations celebrate the best of Hollywood filmmaking, I’m thinking of how the power of that storytelling has been at the core of American soft power for decades but also how the American myth is unraveling.

If the people behind tech companies can produce with impunity non-consensual sexualised imagery of women and children, do you really believe they’re not going to produce democracy-breaking, AI-slop lies and propaganda to steal elections? We must hold them accountable while we have the chance.

Fuck billionaires. Even the ones that bring creativity, talent and joy.

Absolute force of nature. Old school drag at its stupidly brilliant best. Non stop for ten minutes. And Parky and Babs knew well enough to just get out of her way! (all the UK "gender critical" weirdos who grew up with Lilly in their living rooms now trying to pretend drag queens are a danger 🙄)

I’ve changed my mind; If robots kick their owners in the balls, I’m all in favour of them now.

Anyone else wondering how Eva’s Christmas is going? Her parents seem to have really slowed down the social media posts. #speirgorm

What a lovely story of kindness and love. Merry Christmas!

Got a lovely Christmas card from [REDACTED] and Melania with a very tasteful [REDACTED] of a [REDACTED]. Unfortunately it makes him look guilty.

It’s almost as if handing a corporation the power to throttle the communication channels of social/political activists was a bad idea… As it edits away at content, censoring voices & opinions it doesn’t like, Meta claims it is not a publisher! What a con! www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
