Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

What a review...10/10, no notes

“your screen time this week” shut up narc

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

A few online orders or in-store book purchases would be a nice way to support Books Upstairs after this horrible attack. Who does this? To an independent book shop?

Putting aside the sleeping in someone's bed (like wtaf), years ago I too had a landlord who went through our bins. I always thought she was a one off but apparently not! Landlords are a pox

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

We’re getting rid of leaf blowers by eating 50 leaves a day each. Get out there

Now that is funny (bearing in mind the current dark timelime etc.)

Asked to leave Yoga for saying "that's a stretch" six times

The line up feels like its just for me tonight on @tg4.bsky.social 💅👻💃 Looking forward to all these

I misread this as similar 'skulls' at first and tbh it still works.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

Next up: Waiting for Elmo www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksL_...

Waiting for Godot: The Hunt for Godot is the recently announced newest installment of the Godotverse. The long awaited sidequel follows Godot's adventures during the events of the original play.

CUCKOO CUCKOO

Look what we have here then.

Watched 'Hypnotic' with Ben Affleck tonight. A film with phrases like 'project thunder' and 'the most powerful hypnotic in the world' and bad guys wearing red Butlins blazers and driving golf buggies. 10/10 truly awful film. Would watch again.

Nothing beats the perfection of The Goodbye Girl...ideal way to take your mind off any Sunday blues

i know there’s stiff competition for the title here but i truly can’t think of anyone who hates women and girls more than mark zuckerberg hates women and girls

Never cease to be amazed by people volunteering the most awful stuff to get the attention. Here's your attention man - we all still think you're awful 🤷‍♂️

Heard my first firework of the autumn... It's not even dark yet. Good thing it'll only be every day for the next 12 weeks eh 🫠

I've just acquired a bicycle.

The 90s wha' 🫨

You should be allowed tase people who have main character syndrome on public transport

Public services should not be in private hands. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

The Taliban have made life for Afghan women and girls intolerable. They have erased them from almost all spheres of life and systematically stripped away their rights and dignity. This latest ban is a further attempt to silence the voices of women.

My absolute biggest peeve in Ireland is this carry on.... 100% intentional blocking of the pedestrian crossing with majority of pedestrians being forced on to road to try cross in front of her. May she never met a green light ever again

Best candidates for #Áras25 I've seen tbh

I will never ever understand how the Healy Raes are voted in time and time again. Absolute gowls.

Would add I also don't want to be filmed even if someone tells me they're doing it. Smart glasses are designed by and for broken men

I think that's been one of my favourite ever series. Cracking final and thrilled for Caz ❤️ #SewingBee

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Between Greg telling Alex he will fuck him up for thinking he doesn't know his times tables and that glorious studio task, I have an actual pain from from laughing 👏👏👏 #Taskmaster

I'm re-reading Jonathan Strange and Mr.Norrell and finding it even more mesmerising than the first time I read it. Susanna Clarke is such an extraordinary writer

This bookstore opened three days ago in Kyiv. One more sign of resilience (and beauty) I want you to witness.

Everytime you think the tech bros can't get anymore pathetic, they find a whole new low.

My absolute favourite thing about Melvyn Bragg is his singular attitude of No Mucking About. Literally every episode starts like “HELLO IN 1492 COLUMBUS SAILED THE OCEAN BLUE WITH ME ARE TWO EXPERTS OK TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHERE THE FUCK IS GENOA?”

The reporting of this did the rounds a week or so ago but I think it’s nice to hear it from the horse’s mouth if you will. What a great and warm thing for him to have done. I hope people who might not have ever considered the importance of learning about others take something from it.

Crafty friends The Divine Comedy have the most wonderful new song Invisible Thread. It’s lovely but also I’m in bits now. youtu.be/5VXSQQ5YDIU?...

It's TODAY! I'm nervous. But excited. My tummy feels wiggly. My hair - as ever - feels unruly. There's a gurgling, ticklish, fizzy sensation in my chest - AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! It's WAILING time! Come and help us launch our banshee into the world, today at 6pm, Dubray Mary Street, Dublin!
