THANK YOU!

nobody will ever believe the shot I just made to get a juice carton into a bin from across the room

In Cancun

They'd love that in fairness, bit of attention

Finally, something good from Meta

I turned off Instagram's ability to give me personalised ads. The trade off is they serve me an unskippable ad regularly at which point I close the app. It's win win for me I'm afraid

I'm still against the Basic Income for the Arts. We shouldn't be encouraging them. Artists should be punished

Did you know they do the accent the whole time?

In England, god I fucking hate it here

So controlling ugh!

God this would be such a good last tweet if my plane was to explode

It is so nice to fly with someone other than Ryanair

Oh absolutely, and I will

Unfortunately just going to be sat in a resort with work. Not counting it as a proper Mexico trip

On the way to London (crowd boos) for a layover to Mexico (crowd cheers)

How does Adam Scott look the same age in Party Down as he does in Severance?

Harvey Norman ad asking me to 'enjoy reliable surveillance'

Fwiw I think Alternative Dublin is way worse. Not vindictive, just clueless

I don't think it's a contemporary phenomenon to get your ass handed to you in an argument and think yourself the victor, but the beauty of AT protocol is that we get to see it every single day

To the extent that we need journalism: we need good journalism, that doesn't mean we need more journalism from content aggregators/advertisement bait farms

District is different to Alt Dublin insofar as it's got some good cultural output despite it being in thrall to alcohol advertisers, but still

I dunno, as I said I've seen them misreport stuff, and I've seen those comments sections too. Maybe we're being served different versions of the comments. Either way, it's unfortunate and worrying that they're trying to expand because it only survives as long as it attracts booze advertisements

As you say, it's an algo play, and when accounts like that post 'news' about immigration or flags or whatever it's immediately brigaded by fash and just serves them at the end of the day

I had it out with them on a couple of things they misreported, cannot for the life of me remember what now, but to me it's a vehicle for alcohol sponsorship, I don't think anybody should be taking them seriously as a news source

I saw The Coronas were on the cover recently and thought it was a retrospective or something....nope

Oh I'm not saying they were good writers!

Sure, but at least Hotpress had one or two writers!

Uptick in culture (read: advertising) accounts on Instagram doing more politics/news content.

District
Alternative Dublin, etc.

Prognosis: 👎

Initially read this as a jab at Greta's appearance

So glad I'm banned from that r/ireland
