Climate, international shitshow, human & environmental rights & whatever interests me. Irish, she/her. Mostly harmless but inclined to bite or at least relentlessly mock bigots. Irrational fear of harmonicas. Not actually a bat.

Mitch McConnell is just offscreen, telling me the joke.

Man caught mid-laugh against a blank corner wall, although the laugh is a but unconvincing.

Calling encouraging people to unite behind and vote for her "encouraging others to throw away their vote" is a bit much, even if she did lose.

Welp, this just got worse. No records, just under the table phonecalls bullshit.

Update from Royal Belgian Football Association

Update 06/07/2026
Following its previous statement, the RBFA wishes to publicly explain the events of the past few hours.

After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations.

As its only response, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA stating that it considered this correspondence to constitute an appeal, that a judge had been appointed, and that the RBFA had only a few hours to complete that appeal. No information whatsoever was provided by FIFA.

For an appeal to be admissible, FIFA’s own regulations state that the reasoned decision must first have been communicated to the appellant. While the RBFA was merely seeking legitimate explanations, FIFA itself created an appeal and immediately ensured that it would be declared inadmissible.
All of this occurred while FIFA simultaneously refused to respond to the RBFA’s legitimate requests.

Also amazing how the stupid younger gens saw through the v intelligent shining star of his generation, but the well-educated and wise elders voted for him. Guess it was 5D chess that the uneducated young folks couldn't figure out. Did it work?

- for treating random people badly due to their nationality. As it is, it's a bit "sure, jan 🙄"

"Too bad they are a bunch of homophobes. If they weren't, I might care that FIFA and USA treated them like shit. But they got treated much better than they treat gay people. There is ZERO honor in being a homophobe, transphobe or enbyphobe. Fuk Iran."

87% of *currently operating* data centres are in urban areas, and ofc in more deprived areas, because poor areas don't need services, they need constant noise and heat island effects. I knew they mostly weren't rural, that's just shit ppl say, but I was surprised it was as high as 87%.

"In a shift, most planned data centres in the US are in rural areas"

Planned: 33% Urban, 67% Rural
Currently operating: 87% urban, rural 13%

Looking for this story, I found two other cases before the one I was thinking of, suggesting that a surprising number of people have no survival instincts when it comes to this sort of this. Both gentleman & hospital were safely evacuated.

In 2022, an 88-year-old patient visited Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon stunning doctors when they removed what turned out to be a WWI-era French munition measuring 8 inches long and more than 2 inches wide — from the man’s rectum. Surgeons were forced to cut open his abdomen in order to remove the hefty relic due to the shell’s considerably above-average size.

“An apple, a mango, or even a can of shaving foam, we are used to finding unusual objects inserted where they shouldn’t be,” one doctor reported. “But a shell? Never!”

From reporting at the time on Tuesday, a mob of about a hundred were attacking homes on Newtownards Road.

"Cars were set alight on the road, which caught fire to my house but masked men were bashing down doors," a resident in Lendrick Street, in east Belfast, told BBC News.

A group of about 100 masked people were on Newtownards Road in east Belfast where doors were kicked in and windows were broken.

A large number of them were teenagers, according to Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Jon Burrows.

That was my only involvement in the convo, which was an American talking about being actually Irish based on this granny (I think to assert an Opinion, someone blocked someone else upthread so can't quite recall OP). Turned out after it was the great-granny's parents that migrated. but wtf 🤷‍♀️

TB: Wait, your *grandmother* was alive in the 1840s?

[Redacted]: My gran is my great grandmother, my Mamaw's mother. her family survived and migrated. i have gaps in my knowledge but i know where I came from. it's 2am.

[Redacted] you just want trans and nonbinary people like me to die. admit it.

TB: "That's a hell of an assumption in response to my being confused at your saying your gran was alive in the 1840s. Do you do this to every question you're asked?

I looked this slogan up because...morbid curiosity really and this being 2026, AI got involved. It appears to be written by the same sort of whatever that came up with that slogan

AI's helpful offering on the topic of uterine escapades:

Whether you are pushing a baby out into the world or saying goodbye to the organ entirely, the exit of a uterus is a deeply physical and emotional rite of passage. Lean into this exact moment with a little bit of distraction, comfort, and joy.Let your brain wander: Distract yourself with something totally absorbing. (Fade)

It's a phenomenom born for this image (which gets deployed a lot against those posts. Enough so that the first several versions of this image explicitly had AI referenced)

Very interesting & well-argued article. Klippenstein's commentary in particular is contemptible. I wonder when he put up that photo. If it's pre-campaign when he had no idea his tattoo had any negative connotations at all, why cover it? If after he found out, also hmm.

Hell, even Indian food, given all the sneering. It appears even the epicurean French are not immune to a good curry.

Yes, that is the problem I'm having too, about halfway through. I'm choosing Neutral a lot when very general questions with an obvious US slant are asked. Lesser example, but this one annoyed me. Not sure if Agreeing to concept of military alliances or that it only applies to democracies.

"A country should be willing to use military force to help defend a democratic ally under serious attack, even when that imposes real costs and risks at home"

(It goes on to explain hawk and dove policies as context)

And while people target population, there's people in the wealthiest nations like this saying stuff like this.

Energy sec Chris Wright: "the world runs on hydrocarbons. It did when I was born, it does today, it will after I die. We just simply don't have replacements for most all the uses of hydrocarbons. In fact, in the US we're at a record high 74% of US energy comes from oil and natural gas"

Zork! Admittedly I actually started on Nemesis which I think was 1995. The graphics would be potato now but at the time they were awesome. The main pre-1992 game that lives with me (fairly literally, I have a medley of the soundtrack on my phone) was Great Giana Sisters.

That highlighted bit suggesting 90% of American men have had a nazi phase? That's about as textbook example of normalisation as you can get. It is quite literally saying it is normal.
