Something about Musks latest stunts has tipped me over the edge. I may lurk in the back during football matches but I think, in the short term at least, I'm done with this platform. It feels like Nolan. Just grubby & bad for my mental health. So yeah, I'm away, (for a bit anyway)

P.S. Having looked at the feed here for the first time in months, it seems to be just the organisations that are left. Most of the individuals have gone. It's harder to give up your voice when you feel it might affect your business, but we've decided the benefits are illusionary

For avoidance of doubt we aren't posting here any more. It's not just about the ownership, it's not a useful resource anymore. Our content doesn't chime with the algorithm but most importantly it's not a space where we feel we can build value or community. Find us elsewhere...

Hi, Just calling past to say I left here months ago and it was a great decision. Came back to test my theory that the only people left would be journalists and celebrities still (wrongly) thinking that it's somewhere they can exert influence... and yep that seems to be the situ.

Why no Culture Night Belfast? Here’s another answer from the guy who used to run it, @AdamTurks: patreon.com/posts/cnb-strang…

PS what’s held me back before is that there isn’t a good replacement. I’ve decided I don’t need a replacement. I’m happy to go to more long form inputs. And maybe just write some stuff for me and stop kidding myself that putting stuff on here can make a difference.

There’s something pretty messed up going on when you take a stronger line on a peeler waving a GAA flag than you do literal fascists marauding through the streets.

We're spending the last day of Eastside Festival in Boundary Taproom selling T-shirts alongside a bunch of great street art lads. Come down, meet a real life street artist, buy some stuff off them, enjoy excellent food and beer and don't let the arseholes get you down

26 years after the GFA, people carrying tricolours and Union Jacks stand beside shoulder to shoulder, united in… *checks notes* racist rioting?

Breaking. DUP have written to the Chief Constable of the PSNI after a officer was filmed on social media wearing a swimming cap.

One of my favourite pub conversations. Name me a a band with two women and one man? I bet you can’t.

3-1 does not count btw. Also bands that end up like that cause members leave isn’t really in the spirit of the question imo. (Human League, B52s) I just this it’s insane that there’s virtually none.

My news diet hasn't been going so well. But it's time to redouble my efforts. News business thrives on your anxiety. It fuels it. You are helpless to do anything but keep watching, clicking. Existentially it's possibly a greater threat to all our welfare than what they report on.

Anyone else thinking that if APNI had put up a different candidate in East Bel they might have done better?

Weird 1997/2024 symmetry for me tonight. 1997 I ran to my home in Fitzwilliam St from a Herbaliser gig in the Union to see the results. Tonight I came home from a Trip Hop legend DJ Shadow show for the results. I'm not nearly as excited as I was in 97, but then Tony let me down.
