Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"

The more I think about it, the more I incline to the opinion that the most important thing of all is not to lose hope and faith in life itself.
Anyone who does so is lost, regardless of what good fortune may befall him.

Morrissey, love him or hate him, was a great creative force in English music. But if he'd never met Johnny Marr he'd be a weird cult figure known only to 500 people.

Coo-ee!

A stacked area chart of the electricity generation mix on the island of Ireland with the following fuel types: battery, pumped storage, biomass, waste-to-energy, hydro, solar, wind, oil, and gas. There is also a black line showing electricity demand. Footnote reads: All-island figures. Excludes domestic solar. Source: EirGrid, SEMO

Renewable generation and discharging storage equalled 58% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 81% at 04:15. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 36% of demand. 3% of generation was exported, 9% of demand was met by imports.

Many people like to play air-guitar, or even air-drums.
I like to play air-cowbell.
My favourite is “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue, especially that sweet solo at 3:44.

Same problem as the last few general elections - I have have 13-17 candidates on the ballot in my constituency, not one of whom I wanted to vote *for…*

UK and Ireland here we come

On enabling presidential candidates. Some thoughts

[A] I see you’re in favour of eating babies now

Oh no.

[A] But you’re nominating the Baby-Eating Party for President.

Ah, that’s democracy.

[A] Do tell.

Well, baby-eaters are a part of our society. They deserve a seat at the table.

So RFK *is* the dead cat then?

Bringing in Armando Iannucci to script the final seasons of The UK was a wry choice

Ed Zitron’s take on all this from a few days back - he brought receipts - was superb. @edzitron.com

On monday a reshare of a disturbing Twitter post turned up in my feed in Bluesky. I wrote this in response because this is about people. People who are being harassed daily on our streets and attacked and assaulted. Its on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/pulse/standi...

Performative microphoning.

And those same unloved and unappreciated barriers, so excited at having been let out of storage for a day, being totally unneeded during the last papal visit.

(Steve Jobs voice) We can make that violin smaller.

Fuck all the way off.

Maybe some helpful soul will scratch this response into the bodywork of the car? Perhaps a big red spraypainted arrow pointing at the 25 for those who are slow on the uptake?
