There's a JustEat ad with Craig David singing and 3/4 through somone shouts "Is that Craig David?" because even folks old enough to remember Craig David have no idea what he looks like these days

Belfast QT is usually good because the usual shills who make up the audience are reluctant to make the trip there so they have to find genuine members of the public instead

No idea what I just tuned into on ITV but it appears to be Catchphrase with Ramesh Ranganathan except all the images are AI slop

England is literally a derivation of 'land of the Angles'. Scotland and Ireland are historically Celtic and were never settled by the Anglo-Saxons.

Sometimes I fall back to the idea of the BBC being a politically neutral news organization, but then I leave the TV on in the background and Newsnight comes on with a queue of 'journalists' queuing up to be Employee of the Month at the right-wing dicksucking factory

The lack of rail in the south and west of NI is unfortunately a consequence of our history. Since those areas were predominately Catholic the Protestant government of NI from 1921-72 only funded infrastructure in the Protestant north and east.

A lot of locals complain about Grand Central being too big for purpose, but it was built with future expansion of an all-Ireland rail network in mind.

I don't hate it - I just wish there were more local businesses in it instead of big corporate shops/coffee/pubs

They're from Belfast so even though they indentify as Irish they're still living in the UK and subject to UK law. Also they knew right from the start it was a BS charge that would be dismissed and give them loads of publicity

The 68 members are individual broadcasting organizations, not states. So for countries where the state TV broadcaster and the state radio broadcaster are separate orgs, there would be 2 members from that country.

The BBC said 68 member states because their journalism sucks

From outside it's so bizarre to watch Americans left and right try to pin mass murderers as being on the other side rather than "Holy shit why do we keep giving guns to pschopaths regardless of their political views?"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social I love what you're doing and you've inspired me to join a political party for the first time in my 40+ years on this planet. But I'm in NI and the Geen party here doesn't seem quite on board with your platform. Will you be moving to consolodote them into your movement?

A resident spotted a young gull trapped on a bird house at Ward Park today. I waded out to free it, but sadly its leg was badly injured.
Thanks to the quick response of the amazing @uspca.bsky.social team, the bird got urgent vet care in Belfast.

👉 Please keep an eye out for animals in distress.
