I pointed out that all of the Heisei era Godzilla movies easily pass the Bechtel Test and my kid responded, "only if Godzilla isn't the love interest" and I've been thinking about that for *weeks*.

Appeals Centre Europe, a Dublin-based social media appeals body, has received more than 30,000 complaints since it began operating in November 2024.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

20 years later and they still haven't got the new trains in service and the expansion is glacial #SpéirGorm www.rte.ie/archives/202...

The law should be that if you drive a commercial vehicle into a railway bridge your commercial driving license should be immediately suspended or cancelled. How does this happen so often in Dublin? #SpeirGorm

Slightly increase a band IINXIS

I am so sick of the criticism of the "designer" bicyle storage facility in Kerry Hospital. Lets have a look at these costs, understanding them is about reframing what was actually built, and comparing it fairly against the infrastructure society routinely accepts for cars. 1/

With our book coming out in August, I’m making little ‘wtf is it you do’ videos to explain #DAM to normals. Very much open to help out local Irish orgs that want to start or up their DAM game, hmu!

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

“The USA got its ideas about liberty and equality from England” hits a bit differently from here in Dublin.

My brother shared this in the family whatsapp so coming to a work place near you the best email ever

Silent Movie, the Musical

Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

Starting off a stealth work thing, by sharing bits of it online. Watch the skies…

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Rightwing dudes: "Women shouldn't be in leadership. Women shouldn't vote. They're not rational like men." Also, somehow, rightwing dudes: "The hand of God teleported me to a Waffle House."

Hey Mr Starkey - Ireland may want a word, you absolute basket case.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to my trans&NB friends!🏳️‍⚧️ To celebrate why not buy a #kidlit or #YA book feat. trans/NB characters & authors? Here are some faves (deets in alt txt); more suggestions welcome! @sassinsf.com @aprildaniels.bsky.social @justinepwinans.bsky.social @kylelukoff.bsky.social

If there's an item taken from your country in the English museum that you're visiting you should get to enter for free (over 6000 Irish items in the British Museum alone btw)

Reading this story, you would think the far right DPP—the only party mentioned, its leader named and quoted—was going to lead the next government. In fact they came in fourth with 9% of the vote. Why is RTÉ doing their spin for them?

See info in this 🧵

In the train station early so I thought Bluesky might enjoy seeing the oldest postbox in Ireland (and older than any in the UK I believe)

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

Absolute insanity - the Trump administration wants to pay nearly $1 billion of taxpayer dollars to a private French company to *not* build wind farms off the East Coast

I have a Wagner joke, but it requires six harps and a special kind of tuba to tell properly.

Enough with the elf on a shelf and cartoonish bastardised leprechaun cutesy nonsense, it's time we taught people outside of Ireland about REAL fairies (will swap your baby for a changeling and/or curse your entire family and their livestock if you even look sideways at a ring fort)

Joy Division vs Charlie Brown dance party also slaps...

"You boy, what day is this??"

Soft launching a conspiracy theory that the historical figures on British Banknotes are being replaced by wildlife because in reality they were secretly a race of badger people.

Wondering if #SpeirGorm has seen this yet.

Does this explain why a primary school was lethally obliterated twice?

A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com

Has he considered not shelving rail projects? Not cutting funding for expansion of public transport could be worth looking at too.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

Combine a television title and a movie title. My Mother the Carnage.

TIL that in the UK there’s a “Mexican” food chain founded by a white British lady named Thomasina. I’d like you all to guess what the name of said chain is. Do not spoil it if you know.

The Gen X urge to be sitting in a sand pit playing music for the sad man.

The 1998 Godzilla movie had a scene where a helicopter was being chased through the city, flying level right at the monster’s eye level as it walked behind it on the ground.
