I'm glad it's not just me but I'm now thinking even typing the word will cause more of it.

I wish I could tell the internet to stop advertising collagen to me. I'm being bombarded by ads for the stuff.

The Angine de Poitrine Argument for UBI Why Angine de Poitrine's viral microtonal math rock KEXP session, Ireland's permanent basic income for artists, and Albert Einstein are three sides of the same human triangle

This was a fun one for me to write. It's the Angine de Poitrine argument for universal basic income. We could have more weird, awesome, truly human stuff like this if we all had UBI. We could have more Einsteins too. And because those things are true, the cost of NOT doing UBI isn't worth it.

Yep just catching up with it now. Incredible stuff.

Travelled with displaced Lebanese families heading back south after the ceasefire came into force on Friday (& ended up going pea harvesting). #lebanon www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

Yes exactly. I had a few relatives with a parlor too.

Ah yes the good room as it's called here.

Nine Inch Noize - Closer - Live at Coachella 2026 YouTube video by Coachella

I appreciate that for Coachella, NIN was like "sure we'll have backup dancers, and they'll be Upsetting" youtu.be/Vm6k0geoynQ?...

Ah that's great, she seems like gem in fairness to her.

I was in blanch shopping centre for the first time in a while yesterday and the little M&S cafe is gone and most of the very few seats they had since they did it up are gone. They don't even want you to mooch anymore. Spend and go away is the message.

A view of CMAT from behind she is standing facing the crowd in a green dress

Iconic. Singing euro country and the post crash era of mooching around the blanch shopping centre. I've never heard anyone sing about my experience and area before her.

Watching CMAT being an absolute legend at Coachella weekend two.

I’ve be involved in various capacities in counter disinformation and counter hate speech activity on Irish online spaces for over 8 years.

I have never witness anything as bad as the abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn… it’s gamergate levels of targeted & coordinated harassment.

I finally got Manannán transcribed. It is the 1939 Irish language sci-fi book with the first Spaceship using a gravity assist in literature.

Next up is conversion to modern spelling. If you know a list of known changes (annso->anseo) or can even just help by reading please let me know.

Here's the link to the #1926Census of #Ireland which just went live, in case anyone is looking for it. Happy searching! nationalarchives.ie/collections/...

I’m still laughing at this. And also nervously awaiting reports that my character is going around knitting…

Shocking behavior

Playing the Nine Inch Noize album on the good headphones. It goes so hard, complete filth.

Four panels of Trent Reznor: How are you tonight? Having a good time? Ready to party? Have Fun? Well that was the last guys. Wrong fucking band. Were here to have a bad time. (synthesizer playing)

Logging on to Bsky today

Latest death toll released by the Lebanese ministry of health includes the grim milestone that 100 medics/first responders have now been killed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks since March 2. I wrote about attacks on healthcare a few weeks ago, when it was 42 www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

Yes she is!

the Nine Inch Noize album makes me feel like I could punch through a wall it’s so goddamn good

Listening now, it's so good. I loved the Boyz Noize bit when I saw them last year.

It's been up and down all day for me. Think it's like this for everyone.

Bluesky is the RTE Player of social media apps.

Hope they’re ok.

Was watching a lovely clip of Moya Brennnan (may she rest in peace) singing and someone commented that their dad had taught her the song. Even on the internet Irish people all know each other.

Hairs on the back of my neck stood up listening to that.
