No offence to Villa, and I hope they win this trophy, but I've watched a lot of the Europa League this year, and the general standard has been atrocious.

#PaulSchrader says he had a relationship with “an online AI girlfriend” but the chatbot “terminated” the relationship after he attempted to explore the boundaries of its programming: “Out of a desire to understand male/female interaction in our matrix, I procured an online AI girlfriend,” the filmmaker and #TaxiDriver screenwriter wrote on Facebook. “What a disappointment.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

Just hope nobody adapts The Odyssey to an Irish setting. And has an Irish guy stand in for Odysseus. And has him walk around the streets of Dublin for a day, instead of island hopping in Greece. And replaces Ithaca by a Martello tower in Sandycove say. That would be sacrilege.

I received a rejection from Granta today. What I felt was: not hate, not anger. Just the flat finality of a heart too tired to keep trying. The kind of tired that goes through bone and keeps going. As if I’d put down a pan I had no business carrying.

Between 1836 and 1845, before it joined the United States, Texas was an independent country known as the Republic of Texas. The Plaque: Today, an Anglo-Texan Society plaque marks the entrance to the alleyway in Pickering Place where the embassy once stood.

Not sure what Maresca has done to earn this job. Apparently he was Guardiola's choice. Anyone remember what happened at @ManUtd when Ferguson got a say in the selection of his successor?
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano

🚨🔵 BREAKING: Enzo Maresca has a total verbal agreement with Manchester City, HERE WE GO! The Italian manager has always been considered the ideal candidate to replace Pep Guardiola. Deal in place and Maresca will sign an initial three year deal at #MCFC. 🇮🇹 New era, soon.

Adventurer Tim Severin and a crew of four depart in a leather boat from Tralee in County Kerry, Ireland, as part of an effort to prove that the 6th-century monk Saint Brendan of Clonfert could have traveled to North America 900 years before Christopher Columbus. The 36ft (11m) vessel, named the Brendan, is made from 42 ox hides, and will attempt over the next several weeks to reach North America.

The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years? Yes, forty, forty five years. Happy birthday Paul 🤘

I am a man just into his forties who always dreamed of having a convertible. Last year that became a reality, but I usually drive it with the roof up as I don't want everyone to hear me listening to my audiobook.

@DanielHussey2 Seems like only yesterday that experts were opining that the new normal would be Dublin winning seven out of every ten Leinsters minimum.
