A bit of a blast-from-the-past, this one. Picked up in Music World in Athlone 11/04/98 & signed by the man himself on the day. #KieranGoss used to get tonnes of radio play on Radio Ireland at that time. Lovely voice & some beautiful tracks on this album. #Speirgorm

THE TOWERING INFERNO | EPISODE OUT NOW Two studios, two directors, four camera crews and two stars counting each other's lines. We're telling the story behind one of Hollywood's most audacious productions ever. Available on all podcast platforms. www.alltherightmovies.com/podcast/the-...

Kind of amazing there hasn't been a Just Stop Trump protest, people spray painting things orange. It seems almost too obvious.

Having a hard time correlating these two social media postings issued hours apart by the White House when it comes to humanity's readiness to expand outward and explore the cosmos. Just sayin' #AdAstra?

“Fuck It, We’re Going To Mars,” Artemis Crew Decide To Keep On Going: https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2026/04/07/fuck-it-were-going-to-mars-artemis-crew-decide-to-keep-going/

Might we remind him that he started this effing thing, so he can stop it. Strange that Iran is the one coming out of this with some integrity & dignity. The guy you elected president needs to be committed, America, he needs an intervention. Him & his pals.

Godspeed Artemis II Peace and love ✌️🚀 #ArtemisII #NASA

Both Sky & BBC News giving unbroken coverage of the Artemis II moon flyby this evening, but none of its a patch on the brilliant live feed being broadcast by #NASA on their YouTube channel, failing to broadcast the verbatims from the astronauts onboard the Orion capsule. #ArtemisII

On this day 46 years ago, Twisted Kites (or Cans of Piss or Third Wave or Negro Eyes) made their debut as a band at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Athens, Georgia, for Kathleen O'Brien's 20th birthday party.

Celebrating the big man, on the day that's in it, with this little ditty from Ding Dong Denny O'Reilly. Happy Easter! #EasterSunday youtu.be/sEw5d3TRgZE?...

Latest from Artemis II: They can see the moon.

A quick shot of tonight's moon rising beyond the neighbours houses.

I normally wouldn't repost this, but some very good commentary from Lawrence O'Donnell here on the state of DJT and the collapse of his support amongst republicans due to the impact of his disastrous Iran war.

Taylor Swift is going to write a song about how mean the Dublin Wax Museum was to her.

I see @skynewsrss.bsky.social have a whole evenings schedule dedicated to the #ArtemisII launch. Looking forward to this 😊

How I arrived at Bluesky

Reputable news sources report daily IDF killings of defenceless civilians, medics, journalists, UN peacekeepers. Committing War Crimes without fear of reprisal. It's not hard to think that these will be kangaroo courts where the judgement is predetermined. It is now a murder factory.

Wait.. Does drinking wine help you lose weight or gain weight? What's the alcohol that helps you Lose weight? #DrinkYosrlfHealthy

Coddle.

Watching The 39 Steps. It's just occurred to me that you never hear of anyone being called a batchelor anymore. When I was growing up they were everywhere.

I'm being asked to believe that Gail Porter was on a 2009 stamp in the Ivory Coast and I am choosing to believe it wholeheartedly. No further research will be done in this regard. #TotP

Ahh, A Few Good Men. There's rarely been a time that this has popped up on TV that I haven't sat down to watch it. Just a brilliant play & film, & so quotable. Sorkin & Reiner made a masterpiece.

Recalling the time 6 years ago that the Donald didn't take the Covid virus seriously and claimed it would all be cleared up by Easter Sunday. His handling of the Iran crisis indicates a similar understanding of how this is going to pan out. This is going to be an unprecedented global disaster.

Catching up on the #ChineseGP from last weekend. Now that the Saudi & Bahrain races have been cancelled, can they just show Hamilton & Leclerc fighting wheel to wheel for 50 laps at Fiorano instead? They're having their own dogfight here & it's a great watch. #ferrari #F1

This was doing the rounds a few years ago. Sent to me in April 2020 and still as relevant now as 'twas then.

It's become the biggest Will-They, Won't-They story since Ross & Rachel in Friends...

Post from Mike: “One of the ironies about being in R.E.M. is that I could never see my band play. I could never truly know the effect our music had on our fans, or what it might have felt like to see us at any point in our musical journey, especially the early days.” (More in comments)

Sometimes, the Economist gets it right on the money.

🎶 Strait of Hormuz Missiles flying out to the sea My desire is oil shipped straight to us Oh, Strait of Hormuz War have I mongered, price hikes have I seen Distracting the folks from the files of Epstein With that dead nonce I was *not* in cahoots As it takes a harsh toll on the Strait of Hormuz 🎶

FRA have won the 6 Nations ENG almost won it for IRL Did that really happen? #MorningHaiku #M6N

Post match interview q's by ITV are Woeful. Moments after *that* ENG performance you don't question Borthwick about whether or not he should keep his job. ENG played Rugby tonight, it was great to see. Nearly did Ireland a huge favour, & made this whole test so conflicting for me. #FRAvENG

Billy Barry's had a great game but time to take him off #FRAvENG #IREvSCO

#FRAvENG #NervesShot

We're frantically doing 6 Nations Table maths... If France draw this game, with a bonus point, then they get a max. of 18 pts? Ireland currently on 19... #FRAvENG #IREvSCO #M6N

*taps sign*

Yess! I mean... Nooo! Roebuck! Aarghh ..conflicted.☘️ #FRAvENG

The BILLY BARRY KID!! I mean, Nooo.... Aarghh... conflicted. ☘️ That was class #FRAvENG

Noooo!!! Wait...this is good for Ireland.. Disallowed. Ok... #jaysus I'm remaining completely impartial. #FRAvENG #OuEstLesBlues

Well.. they sure ref'd the hell out of that game. ITA will feel aggrieved to have been denied those tries, but it can be a game of fine margins. They needed some luck & didn't get any, but they tried. I was all for a resurgent WAL, but I didn't want them to win like This. Messy... #WALvITA

Anyone surprised by WAL hasn't watched their last 3 games. I'm just surprised by the margin. Wales showing up the immaturity in Italy's game. Too much indiscipline in their execution giving WAL all the advantage. Much to do early in 2nd half, but can't see ITA getting back in. WAL on 🔥 #WALvITA
