Local cyclist Fabio Spiteri took to Facebook to share a distressing video of his dogs struggling in the heat as Malta undergoes various power cuts.

In the video, one of his dogs, a pug, can be seen being comforted with wet towels to keep them cool in the blistering heat.

3 other dogs can also be seen trying to cool along with Fabio and his family as they enter into the 16th hour without any electricity.

Fabio described the penthouse walls as ‘burning’, going on to tag the Prime Minister and Energy Minister Miriam Dalli.

Various other localities in Malta are still experiencing power cuts for the third consecutive day, with some reporting well over 13 hours of no power.

Jul 20 2023

In a Night At The Museum type scenario, a short AI generated clip by Bradley Spiteri shows the Tritons on the Triton Fountain bickering with each other before people start to convene at the capital city.

The tritons begin their conversation as two of them express their fatigue as holding up the fountain before they are cut off by another one telling them not to start complaining from such an early time of day.

The AI gives the triton fountain new life as we’ve never seen it before, having walked by it countless times and gotten used to the monument.

The film was created by Bradley Spiteri, and called ‘It-Tritoni Tilfu T-Tempra’.
