My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

The world just lost an absolute legend.

I was amazed when we had kids that there were dedicated soft play areas where kids could climb and jump and fall safely. When I was a kid those things were called carpet showrooms.

Now Playing.

So the rest of us who use drones in Cork City for recreation, search and rescue, geographical surveys etc have to step aside while the skies above the city are handed over to a private enterprise. #cork www.irishexaminer.com/business/com...

We’re heading for a world where bars of chocolate become so expensive, and tubs of chocolate become so small, that at Christmasfamilies will be giving each other a bar of chocolate instead of a tub or box.

Dear politicians. The kids notice your policies. The bad ones and the good. 14yo has never mentioned something the Irish government has done until today. And it was this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f....

I vividly remember the ramp up to the Iraq War, around this time of year in 2003. Watching Colin Powell’s presentation to the UN. I remember being shocked at how blatantly obvious it was that he was lying. It’s weird to me I was capable of being shocked at 19 years of age.

I'm not a party person. I just want a fairer, kinder, greener world. I'm delighted to see how well the Greens are doing. But we also need a strong and sincere Labour Party, and it is an absolute tragedy to see how Keir Starmer and his moral bypass of a government have ruined it.

This is what happens when a great government like Kier Starmer’s has solved every problem in the country and is left kind of bored with nothing useful to do.

As someone who flies drones recreationally/for photography (and follows the rules & regs to the letter), I'm quite pissed off that we're in essence shutting down our national airspace for the benefit of private companies

When someone tells a reporter that they’re “sorry that some people found their comments offensive” The reporter should always clarify “So, you stand over the comments?”

Trump is all about projection. Every single accusation is a confession. Which begs the questions. What is is favourite flavour of Dog? And how does he like them cooked?

Now he comes out with “Sorry if my language offended some people”. Like it’s some people’s fault not his. FUCK OFF you racist piece of shit.

This was an exciting end to a game. I’m white. I’m basically wiped out. But I have 2m 43s on the clocks. Black has 21s

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

If you break the law and people say you shouldn’t have broken the law. They’re not your “critics”. (“Trump’s critics say”…etc.) They’re not saying “innovative crypto scam, but failed to nail the dismount 7/10”. They’re just people stating facts.

Fuck this asshole.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Is there some way the US can mandate that the full unredacted Epstein files should be housed in the Trump-Epstein Presidential Library?

Seems SF doesn't like people fighting to reclaim part of the country after all.

It really can't be any more explicit. The USA, the Russians etc want to keep Europeans divided and hooked on their oil and gas. But we can fight back. The renewables commissioned in the UK's just this year will cut LNG imports from the USA by 50% compared to BAU. And we can do far more.

Age Verification I know from memory the landline numbers of the houses where my friends lived when we were kids. But I have no idea what my own kids mobile phone numbers are.

Nobody NEEDS a Ring doorbell.

I'm a terrible human being. I gave a one day warning, then didn't come back to say Happy Birthday to Carole King. But it's too late, baby, now it's too late.

There's a sentiment I hear constantly from parents in the context of schoolkids, that i NEVER hear from the kids, and never heard when I was a kid. This idea that without uniforms kids would be bullied for having cheaper clothes.

Trump is so full of shit. One of these days they’re going to find a full diaper and a transparent corpse.

Raiding the kids vinyl collection before bed.

I watched this last night. Just for something to watch. It wasn’t bad. It won’t change your life. You’ll probably forget it quickly. But I didn’t hate it at all.

Soooo, Don. What you’re saying is you watched. Even though you said you wouldn’t. I guess Turning Point’s alternative half time show didn’t do it for you. Understandable.

Man who fucks kids, sees dancer and asks why won’t anyone think of the kids?

Ok someone help me out. If I am in Ireland and I know a tank takes 70 litres. And I want to work out MPG. Which kind of gallon do I convert the litres to? Imperial I presume. But who knows?

This is the greatest player ever (O'Sullivan) taking as many shots as he wants to recreate a shot by Alex Higgins. And he can't do it. Jimmy White can. He's from that era. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jhu...

Saw a Samsung phone ad yesterday. "If your friend asks you a question, and your phone knows the answer, shouldn't your phone just reply?" ABSOFUCKINGLOOOTLY NOT. ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!?!?!

When someone gets around to making “The history of Podcasts in 500 Podcasts” Andrew’s will feature prominently. 500songs.com

This is your 1 day warning that tomorrow is the birthday of one of the greatest song writers in the history of pop music.

Feb 8th First decent bit of solar of the year.

In 8 years The Beatles didn’t just go from A-Z they went from A to entirely different alphabets. I like some Taylor Swift songs, she deserves all her success and I wish her well. But she hasn’t gotten past about D or E. I wish she’d use her power to shake up music not just the music business.

Could be the depositions he'd have to give under oath?

Oof!

Not gonna lie. I’m more than a little surprised Trump hasn’t shown up in a military uniform yet.

Well it’s a good thing the Maga crowd are so committed to State’s Rights.

You’d be surprised. Kids in this house definitely know.

Explaining to the kids how we played Goat Simulator back in the day.

Explaining to the kids how we played Red Dead Redemption in my day.

Me, probably around 1979, when I had a pet goat.
