As I grow older, I become more convinced that the biggest lie that the right has managed to sell (a crowded field, so allow the hyperbole) is that fundamentalist "Judeo-Christianity" and fundamentalist Islam are the opposite ends of the spectrum, when in reality they are literally just variations of the same problem. The real spectrum is cunts (of all religions) to sounders (of all religions). Any dispute between the cunts is a cunt problem.

As an Irish fan, disappointed at what could have been, but as a rugby fan I couldn't be happier.
All down to the last kick of the competition with the clock in the red to cap off a 94 point game.

Congrats France!

Since Irish Rugby seems to be stuck on the CSAM generating site, here is the Ireland squad for the 2026 Six Nations.

@claesdevreese 100% supportive of the move to renewables, but that graph seems very fishy. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/interactive-publications/energy-2025

This is the most jaw-droppingly revealing five minutes of #pseudoscience grift I have seen in a while.
The discussions around the advertisement are are so jarring that it could be an on-the-nose satire (it is not, as far as I know).

Everyone knows that Americans pronounce 'buoy' as "booie", but I heard someone say that they were "booied" by some good news.

Was that guy "booie-ant" (buoyant) on hearing the good news? 🤷

Absolutely relentless down the left wing, with Beibhinn Parsons there to finish it off.

Replying to

@josh0@babka.social Yeah, David Bowie thought it was like "bow" and arrow. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But do you say "booie-ant" or even "booie-ancy" (buoyancy)?

@josh0@babka.social Ah, so the odd interpretation of "buoy" is deliberate then?

@josh0@babka.social I was thinking about consistency in pronunciation and the best I could come up with is "condominum" (like aluminum) which sounds like a room the Romans used for something rude (but actually had a very humdrum function).

@Edent@mastodon.social It's not my culture, but there is a Norwegian fairy tale about a grinder that could produce infinite salt It caused so much trouble that the owner eventually threw it in the sea (hence the saltiness)

@_thegeoff@mastodon.social Yeah, but he smashed it into pieces before throwing it away. I mean, if I was stuck trillions of km from home, and no chance of replacements, with a science problem to solve, I'd be a little more careful with my gear.

@drewharwell@mastodon.social How much of this is genuine anti-competition/journalism stuff and how much is it trying to shoe-horn new filters and restrictions into existing Twitter infrastructure (having fired most of the people who know how it all works)? Not a defence of Musk by any means, but more an application of "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
