Kacper saved a couple of good efforts too. Between the two penalty shouts and the studs-up follow through in the box, we should've drawn it.

A lotta hype during last night’s game about the NFL coming to Ireland on Sunday. Well, I just got back from Dublin and not everyone is thrilled to see the 2025 NFL plant a flag in their country www.thenation.com/article/soci...
The NFL Is Trump’s America—and It’s Invading Ireland
The league is not coming to Dublin to plant a tree. It is coming to plant a flag.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality.

This is how AI is killing translation work:
AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

“All these traumas are the reason why the Irish took almost 150 years before they could memorialise what they experienced in the 1840s. Those who inflict starvation are aware of this, they know that what they’re doing is actually dismantling a society.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Starvation in Gaza is destroying communities – and will leave generational scars
Health and societal ramifications of extreme hunger will reverberate long after the war is over

16 years ago today I finished teaching classes to gifted teenagers and drove to Galway, where we played a gig with @deerhoof.bsky.social.
Today, I'm half-deaf and haven't drummed in years, but Deerhoof are still the best.
