If this is not reflected in the actions of our governments, then we can no longer say that we live in democracies.

Come for the political smackdown, stay for the UNBEARABLY moving call to to action

This is brilliant.

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the London premiere of Dr. No, which means (well, obviously) it’s time to tell you a ridiculous shaggy dog story about the theft of not one but two portraits of the Duke of Wellington

If you're coming to the Púca Festival to celebrate Samhain, look out for the book that brings a púca to Tlachtga. Mythology, horror, farming, the celebration of life, death and spirituality, all explored in a story inspired by the origins of #Halloween. #SpeirGorm #PucaFestival #Samhain #Tlachtga

Watching S4 of The Morning Show but totally distracted by the fact that Celine’s husband/Stella’s lover seems to live in Daredevil’s loft.

I will never apologize for a post

Excellent piece here from @sylvialeatham.bsky.social ! www.rte.ie/culture/2025...

🎶THEEEEEESE LITTLE TOWN BLUES🎶

This pair look like the villains in a movie where the hero is a dog.

My eyes are up HERE, Ishmael.

In fairness to Maria Steen it's a tough tightrope to walk to find nominees who hate women enough to support the Iona Institute but not so much that they wouldn't nominate one.

In Danish, if something was extremely boring you could say det var dødens pølse. It means “that was the sausage of death.”

this exists it is called thinking

Also, the money that would otherwise have gone to creatives and spent back into the economy is funnelled upwards to techbros who've never felt the warmth of real human connection from art and who are hoarding obscene wealth

Tried to explain to 15-y-o who Robert Redford was. All his classic movies met with blank expressions. Finally, “it’s the bearded guy who nods and smiles in that meme.” “Oh yeah!” Pause. “I thought that was the guy from Between Two Ferns.”

I don't know man, maybe that's worth it in order not to look like what would happen if Lego made a Woody Allen minifig.

New list of medieval dog names just dropped.

Come to my talk about 19th century spiritualism in Newcastle and Manchester tomorrow! It has fraudulent mediums, clairvoyant doctors, and angry letters to the press!

ME: Can you ease up a bit? That's too close. I can't breathe. TINY DANCER: *squeezes tighter* This is what you wanted.

Oh my god…

I’ve seen this tweet response hundreds of times and it never gets less funny

It’s finally here! Publication day! And not, as my phone keeps autocorrecting it, ‘pub location’ day. 😂 ‘Chaos Theory’ has been nurtured for 4.5 years, and now it’s finally out in the world, going on its own adventures. You can get it as paperback, e-book and audiobook. Linktr.ee/SylviaLeatham

Every time I think of my pension, this pops into my head… John youtu.be/y9XgvkkVmhM?...

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

This is an amazing thread.

theyre hiding him because hes pregnant and hes starting to show

My book #ChaosTheory will be out very soon! If you’re in Dublin on Sept 14, I’d love to see you at the launch, hosted by the mighty @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social . It’s been nerve wracking seeing early reviews, but I’ve been blown away by the response! Get tix for the launch via link in my bio.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is a brilliant writer. He’s written for Dangermouse, Private Eye, @almurray.bsky.social and many more… He’s struggling to find work at the moment. AI isn’t helping. If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost. www.mathew-owen.co.uk Thank you

JACK: i'm telling you there's water up there JILL: is this really the hill you want to die on

Brilliant stuff.

Man, Platonic is great. Rose Byrne is so good she manages to cancel out my aversion to Seth Rogen’s giggle. Really sharp writing, too.

my roommate was trying to find the menu for a nearby bagel shop and instead found some of the most iconic slop I've ever seen. thanks food! :)

Yes.

It's kind of amazing how much things turned around for Bane, once one of the most boring Batman villains.

I am fucking begging people to go to this website and do what it says and get rid of the AI summaries tenbluelinks.org

If you watch Aliens from the point of view of the aliens, it's about a plucky single mum trying to raise a family on a windswept homestead until a bunch of marines turn up and start slaughtering her kids.

I’ve been mainlining Maggie O’Farrell and have only one of her backlist left. Started Stephen King’s Holly to ease the transition and my god, it just takes a page to ease into that embrace. So good at what he does.

So happy to be finally able to share the cover - and title - of my debut novel! ‘Chaos Theory’ is a romantic comedy set in the world of Irish tourism, following the story of Maeve McGettigan as she navigates the chaos of love, work and robots! Will be published by Storm on 5th September.

there is actually an “extreme conditions” ikea lab in new york, where they test how hard it is to assemble the furniture in any given circumstance. they say that if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

Motherfucking wind farms…

What even is this…
