Another benefit of an Arts degree. You've read your Colette and you know there's a long respected history of people in sexual competition with cats for the love of their owners. Beir bua, Jessie.

Honestly insulting at this point that the government continue to insist this and similar events have nothing to do with their new legislation

I see Jessie Buckley is being cancelled by some whiny Americans because she hates cats.

Well, let me tell ya, in a show of solidarity, I hated Cats too. Hated it hated it hated it.

Nobody should suffer by being in the presence of Cats.

UK supermarket chain Iceland drops trademark dispute with Iceland Company promises ‘rapprochement discount’ for shoppers from country after decade-long action in EU court

Peace in our time.

You can ALL open an Iceland store now, lads.

Give it three weeks and That Gobshite will be taking credit for the end of the ten-year Iceland v Iceland War, of course. Or floating the idea of arming supermarket insurgents to attack Reykjavik.

Aw man. I guess Michael Martin must feeling pretty disappointed with these guys for not listening to him yesterday about gouging customers

Thus far it's still somehow a less chaotic leadership rollout than Your Party.

If memory serves (I’m quite tired lately, so this time it may not serve), the official answer was “GDPR, fuck no” but hopefully that carried an undertone of “none of your business, fuck no”.

You don’t need a list of names “to explain to people how the system is working”.

None of your business.

This came up at a Limerick Council meeting a few years ago.

Some Limerick councillors were very eager indeed to be given a weekly list showing them who’d been allocated housing.

Can’t link to the meeting thread as I can’t remember which one it was but here’s a later post.

View hasn’t changed.

Building data centres to house the AI that picks targets for war crimes that cause spikes in prices for the fossil fuels we burn to power the data centres that we keep building so the war criminals will give us tax money to build data centres to house the AI that....

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

I might be naive, but a headline featuring a Minister saying "my job is not to be sensitive", above a caption featuring a "mother of explosion victim" is not a very good look

Photograph of a plate of hamantaschen that I made. They are triangular-shaped folded cookies, in this case filled with a yummy homemade deep purple prune jam, with golden brown pastry.

Tonight is the beginning of the Jewish festival of #Purim. Purim is an ancient Persian word, meaning "lots" - unpredictable, irrational, outside our comprehension. It celebrates survival in the face of oppressive forces.

Chag Purim sameach to all who celebrate, and a wish for peace to the world.

That sound you hear is irony dying.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

You couldn’t make this up.
And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Me: surely, he didn't actually say the words in the quotes in that order. this is cartoon villain level stuff...

[looks it up, confirms that he did, in fact, say this]

US military planes shot down since Vietnam, leaderboard by country:

1) Iraq
2) USA
3) Kuwait

They don’t usually declare “WE’RE GONNA DO WAR CRIMES” out loud in advance, but here’s Whiskey Pete putting in an early application for a trip to The Hague

Have you also turned off the water at/from the hot tank? I mean, that’s a bigass reservoir there, even if there isn’t also another tank in the attic supplying it.

*there is such a thing as a stupid question, and I will always ask it

Had the sudden notion to have scrambled egg for breakfast/lunch/dinner (I forgot to eat all three) and… three month out of date eggs are grand, right?

Also decided scrambling them would take too long, so just microwaved them.

If I die, avenge me if you feel like it. Take up arms against the eggs.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

manufacturing consent through lowly paid influencers

supposedly professional journalist arguing its good that the school was struck but also it didn't happen but *also* also if it happened it wasn't our fault

it would get a lot of people real worked up if I said what this reminds me of

I’m reminded that Tulsi Gabbard even sold “No War With Iran” shirts on her campaign merch site

… I assume any leftover tat will be getting the Lionel Hutz Add A Comma treatment.
