The Cure rolling out Hot Hot Hot!!! in A Forest on a Friday (famously when he's in love) might be a bit too on the nose for their Marlay Park gig tonight. The stage banter writes itself.

Thankfully this forecast was inaccurate... it is instead going to be... *checks notes*... THIRTY ONE DEGREES CELSIUS!

Unclear if it is the heat but I have been making all sorts of fuck ups today. Considering the first mistake was mixing up isopropyl alcohol and "sticker remover" perhaps everything after has been as a result of unintended solvent inhalation.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

The game the Spice Girls infamously called "too easy".

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

The irony-o-meter just exploded.

Don't forget heatwaves are worse in Ireland than anywhere else because when it happens in Ireland it's happening to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's too warm. Make sure to like and subscribe and hit the bell for more insightful content like this!

Sticking a blocker in my calendar for Friday afternoon so no one tries to schedule a meeting and make me late to head into Marley Park for The Cure.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.... Has anyone said "Keir today, gone tomorrow." yet?

Ok, I am going to speak slowly and quietly. I need you to put the rare Roman curse tablet back where you found it.

I asked ChatGPT which frivolous AI query was responsible for the current heat wave and you'll never believe what it said...

If you bought SpaceX stock, this is what you bought shares in.

There are forecasts for next week's The Cure concert predicting 28c. This much heat and that much black leather could decimate our strategic goth reserves.

Scrolling through Bluesky and seeing The Irish Times posting an "AI is great" article just after the "What to do now you're redundant" article would be rightly criticised as lazy and unsubtle if it was used as world building in a movie scene.

Well it seems we didn't get rid of the ant nest that lives somewhere in our bathroom because the feckers are swarming today.

The price of the check in baggage on the return leg of a flight we were eyeing up on Ryanair has mysteriously doubled since we first looked at it. Going out is fine.. just on the return leg. There is barely anyone else on the flight... is this some sort of fuel surcharge thing?

Determined not to pay for Boojum, we made it ourselves. Delicious, but it took about 2 hours to do everything, 3 pots and a pan for the hot foods. Pico de Gallo and Pickled Red Onions homemade. So much chopping and washing up. I dunno if it worked out cheaper but we were chuffed with the results.

If you all wanted Ireland to be part of the World Cup you should have just spent more on Etsy witches than I did to keep us out.

Is the Microsoft Office Ribbon causing people to have fewer children? A provocative new working paper explores the persistent drop in birth rates since Office 2007 was introduced nearly two decades ago.

Again, this woman was the first trillionaire. If you argue that the company would have gone bust had she tried to cash it in, how is that any different than Musk's alleged trillion dollars?

Gave this a skip for various reasons but certainly regretting not being setup in the sun with a bag of cans right now.

SpaceX IPO is the completion of Musk's plan to leave you all holding the bag when people realise Tesla's valuation is smoke and mirrors. He's rolled all his debt into SpaceX. xAI, Twitter and his terrafab nonsense. If you buy SpaceX you are buying Grokipedia! Avoid like the plague!

They leaked the winner of the World Cup. It's Spain. Spoilers I guess. At least you don't have to watch it now. #worldcup

Can I interest you in a nice "bitcoin is shitting its pants" in these trying times?

Funny how the pattern of "tHiS mOdEl Is ToO dAnGeRoUs To ReLeAsE!!!" and a short while later "we've released the dangerous model (but it is safe now, pinky swear!)" keeps happening with AI.

*looks at news*. Might just turn off my phone for a couple of days.

I expect this sort of carry on from Walkers, not Tayto.

Well, there goes all my money.

Saw this and thought it was Angine de Poitrine for a second.

June needs to sort its weather out by the time The Cure play. Hope the peeps at David Byrne aren't too soaked.

Ok I found the potties. There are a lot, but y’all, as someone who has worked indoor and outdoor music events for 20 years, it looks like a very normal amount of bathrooms for the number of people they say they are expecting for the fight

Ah Look. The yanks are getting their own Eircom. #Speirgorm

The gig I'm at is so dad there's a man wearing a t-shirt on which is written, in the Megadeth font, MUESLI

Epstein Coin.. aka Bitcoin has bled out 10k USD of its value in the last 5 days. Absolute LMAO. Probably crankto bros looking to cash out to buy up Elon's bag, which will be an additional LMAO. I will have no A to LMO at this rate.

This World Cup is shaping up to be an infinite stream of hilarity.

I've been on this site too long. I am starting to lose my ability to tell the difference between someone presenting an awful opinion as a joke and people just being wrong about things. Unfortunately, the latter is gaining ground.

Oh, it's not nearly as bad as I said it would get... yet.

Im going to have to add "screw worm" to my block list aren't I?

When you go for a pint and get a free speech bar mat.

Trying to explain to The Guardian app there's only one story about US Politics it should ever push a notification to me about.

Rather disappointed with Sony announcing they're releasing new games before I have finished playing the old games. Stop rushing me, okay?

You just know someone who has had AI replace their co-workers has been asking Claude about the big game, if it's been watching Widow's Bay, if it has any goss while the accounting department frantically tries to find the kill switch.

A tone deaf attempt to get an office World Cup sweepstake going is currently seeing a 7% uptake. They're well short of covering every team. LMAO.

In a holiday home with no shaver plug, each use of the shaver might be its last until I can get out and buy an adapter. You can bet I start with my top lip each time... just in case. I might end up with a walrus... but no worries about the other thing.

Listening to the new Boards of Canada as God intended: half asleep in a B&B room, at far too low a volume, on two Bluetooth speakers that are hanging off random features of the room.

I've a temperature sensor that sits in a spot that gets direct sun. Around lunch time the sun goes behind a tree for a couple of hours before it pops out again. You can clearly see this in the sensor data this week. The difference was almost 15c yesterday! We need more trees!

Think I'm going to limit my Bluesky to reading the "quiet posters" feed only from now on. Quality v quantity!
