Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

And our founding fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers

Absolutely top-class documentary, definitely worth a watch 👀👏 #DevDoc

Stamp shared a flat with Michael Caine at one point and other, jealous actors put about the rumour they were gay. Stamp disappeared completely for a couple of weeks. When he turned up Caine asked him where he'd been. "Those chaps saying we're gay? I've just slept with their girlfriends. All of them"

Hell yeah #southpark

Note perfect from @barneyronay.bsky.social 👌And it starts with a phone in. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Shocked and saddened by this awful news. A lovely person, clever and funny. Always a pleasure to be on Arena with him. Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues

In honor of Plonker Don’s travels to Scotland, I had to share. This was just 3 weeks into Donnie’s first term and Scotland had enough of this bawbag 🤣 youtu.be/3pbTmXsfiYk?...

A beautiful story, beautifully written

Anyone know a Daniel Kiernan, who was obviously on the No 11 bus this morning, he lost his ptbs card which I’ve picked up. If you know him, I’ve handed into the bus driver. #speirgorm

Threatening Ireland: US politicians launch barrage of threats via social media against Ireland over draft law to bring the country into compliance with international law against supporting illegal occupation. Something the Irish Constitution mandates.

Donald Trump said that he was likely to impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals as soon as the end of the month and that levies on semiconductors could come soon as well

“Videbimus te in Coppers” [We'll see you at Coppers] 💀 💀

Tawdry, nauseating, humiliating plámás. Also ultimately pointless. Appeasement doesn't work with unstable, volatile bullies - as any victim of domestic abuse could've told these powerful men if they had been minded to ask

😂

Going through last month’s Mojo magazine. This is probably my favourite email/letter to the editor.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Such sad news. A lovely man and a total character - his Slane Castle gigs put Ireland on the big bands’ tour map and created lifetime memories for at least one generation of Irish music fans 💔 #RIPHenry www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this life, it’s this: when that tray of shots appears—it’s time to go home

There are two Chinese translations of Joyce's 'Ulysses,' and both of them have to deal with the fact that Chinese has/needs no word for "yes." Xiao Qian and Wen Jieruo's version, by far the most widely read, goes with 好吧, "okay, fine," giving Nora the climactic line "okay i said okay fine OKAY."

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

On Friday, five Proud Boys sued the US government for $100 million for their “political persecution” as “allies of President Trump.” A reminder of how they instigated multiple breaches during the Capitol riot. Our visual investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DfL...

The entire internet right now.

As a grandma (and on behalf of toddlers everywhere) I’ll say this Musk/Trump tantrum is worse than anything I’ve ever seen.

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

JD Vance’s Irish ancestry claim hits a genealogical dead end DUP-commissioned report fails to find a link between JD Vance — a self-declared Scots-Irish — and Ireland.

I may not have read the books, but i have magically reviewed both Tapper and Comey’s new tell-alls- They are both hugely self-involved pricks who didn’t do the right things when it mattered, but now think we should be grateful that they were there at the time. Saved you a read.
