Such a great look while people lose healthcare and pay $5 for gas...

Love China more than the US. All thanks to one person. #OwnGoal

Oops. The Eden Sessions management has rescheduled the Wednesday gig around… the football. Support act is now at 5pm instead of 7:45 and the main act at 6pm instead of 9pm - on a working day, with many people’s travel arrangements already locked in. Very poor judgement here.

This has not gone down at all well with ticket holders, over 100 comments on Facebook already according to my partner. It’s a mix of mainly “can’t get there in time now” and “disrespectful to the bands” supplemented with some “not interested in the football” - and a lot of anger.

I think this is what you’d call an own goal (haha). Also something that people will remember when tickets come out for next year.

With this match, we hit our #OwnGoal and don’t feel bad about it at all. ⚽️ Thanks to the 35 wonderful individuals who contributed to our 2026 fundraising drive, affirming the value of mapping everything everywhere all at once!

Enthusiastically spraying eardrops into both ears & then realising that I can't keep my head tilted for the next several minutes = 😬 Priceless.

Plugging my ears with cotton wool so that the drops don't dribble out = 🙉 Hmm? What?... Speak up!

Yep, I unintentionally, intentionally made myself deaf this morning.

#azure #spam #ownGoal
So I'm one month into a new job doing ops and dev (but oddly not DevOps‽) and I'm now on the Azure Alerts notifications.

Well, kinda.

You see, the Azure Alerts are sent to my Corp Outlook mailbox. And after two days, they are now all placed into Outlook's mail quarantine as spam.

I've trusted the sender, added it to my contacts list, released all their messages (one by one, as bulk actions are only for delete) and they are still filtered into quarantine.

I, freaking hate Azure and how slipshod it all is.
Looking at a resource in the portal? Want to look at other resources of the same kind?
Well likely you can't, not easily. Everything is from whatever breadcrumbs you followed to get here. Yes there, right there, is Kind of thing you're looking at. NO CLICKY. Not allowed. Search for the exact name of the kind of thing, good luck. Many things have same or similar names or aliases. Also they will show you the new thing they want you to use instead of what you have.

Day two of using Deezer. First day using phone app.

Deezer: Plays 2 songs... Silence
Me: Has WiFi gone weird again?... Nope.
Deezer: Want to go ad free? (Full screen ad with pause bars but not playing through it's 30 second screen time 🫤 & only other button is to go ad free 😠🤬.
Me: Press pause button... It becomes play button but nothing else changes.
Me: only way out is close app.

Deezer android app users of the fediverse, is this normal?

I have zero problem with ads, provided they don't effectively break the app like Deezer's very own ad, loaded beneath an actual ad did.

Very grateful for any insights 😀.

As many cities get smarter at evidence-based city-building, positioning themselves for greater success in every way we can count, and many ways we can’t, some cities seem obsessed with self-sabotage. Case-in-point: city “leaders” arguing for the removal of safe bike infrastructure. #OwnGoal

the AI told someone how to make a bomb so naturally we must ask: what was it trained on?? buddy i’ve seen reddit. we’re lucky it didn’t recommend Mountain Dew as an accelerant. #AI #Grok #OwnGoal 🤖🔥

This is excellent: more room for mom and pop stores who will happily provide better service to their communities.

Okay Netflix, you don't want me to continue watching your animated Blood Of Zeus?
Well, I guess the dialogue must be truly diabolical but I guess we'll never know, as you insist on burying it under sound FX & dramatic music.

If it were truly #reciprocaltariffs, we’d be raising tariffs to whatever level that country was levying against our products, in a sort of a “we’re going to punish ourselves as badly as you’ve been punishing you” maneuver.

Instead, we’re basing US tariffs on trade imbalance and half the ratio we “overly” buy from another country, in sort of a “we’re going to punish you as badly as we’ve been punishing ourselves” maneuver

Another #OwnGoal from #Google. Does no one in that business have a good enough grasp of the English language to know that 'thinking hard', like 'playing hard' or 'practicing hard', is a good thing, that it has positive connotations?

They are clearly trying to contrast 'being smart' with 'doing things the hard way' and have incorrectly assumed that 'hard' always has negative valence.

Nope, Carney is set to Protect Canada and deal with the the Trump Threat, not trade talks.

Canada's relationship with the US is broken. Canada is changing.

And Ontario Premier already added 25% to electrical exports to US.

Is #Mozilla (makers of #Firefox) currently offering any courses on how to rapidly destroy (what’s left of) your business? They certainly have the required experience. #OwnGoal #UnforcedError

The Americans have just shot down one of their own F/A-18F Super Hornets in the Red Sea. The pilots managed to eject, but that's a $70m+ aircraft taken out by "friendly fire".

“Get off the couch 🛋️ and join us, the President needs your help.” - #CoreyLewandowski has rejoined the #TrumpCampaign and *immediately* scores an #OwnGoal. 😂

He can’t be repositioned to focus on fundraising, because he might be litigated for #SexualAssault of donors - again. #Weird #USpol
