Mad magazine back in the 1960’s

Looking very displeased that the grubby heathen hoi polloi stymied her immaculate ascension, but if she needs a tissue to dab away a perfect tear, I’m sure she’s got some in that €20K Hermes bag she’s got there

When you know someone affected by gun violence, don’t say “I have no words” to them about their loss. Have words. Find the words. Shout your words. Write them to members of the US government. And those words should be “I demand gun control laws”.

If I can just toot my own horn here, I made a light fixture out of a bowl I got on clearance for €1! I cut a hole in it and placed it over the glass fixture that was there already.

We were so excited to showcase our launch date announcement as part of the Convergence Games Showcase tonight! The Séance of Blake Manor is coming to Steam on 27 October 2025! bit.ly/TheS%C3%A9an...

Please do not jump down my throat and I'm not generally face blind whatsoever, but whenever I see a photo of either Anthony Bourdain or Jeffrey Epstein I literally don't know which of them I'm looking at. I didn't pay much attention to either of them when they were alive but it's like... every time.

Me: You leave so many crumbs on the counter and you don't clean it up. Why do you do that? Him: Oh, is that CRUMBY of me?

US Army officers arrested for protesting genocide.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

This week, when I was getting my Rx refills from the chemist, I remembered to say that I didn't want any Teva products. Happy to report that McFadden's in Stoneybatter isn't sourcing from Teva unless there's absolutely no alternative. #boycottteva #bds

Giving updates on the awful things happening in America is the new Irish mammy telling you who died.

So um... is it really going to get back up to 18 degrees in Dublin tomorrow? I don't want to have my hopes dashed.

While I'm grateful for the HSE's new HRT scheme, someone needs to tell them that 52 weeks x 2 patches = 104. They have conveniently rounded down instead of up (104/12 months=8.66.). By only covering 8 patches per month (8x12=96), they are leaving everyone 8 patches short over the course of a year.

Nice

The people's mess #CMAT does #JimmyKimmel. She didn't play it safe. Some middle Americans struggling with it. Our pop punk country Queen never lets us down. Brave, authentic, and insanely talented + "Euro Country" is Mercury Prize 25 nominated ✊ #spéirgorm www.youtube.com/watch?v=npTF...

HEAD'S UP for anyone who might be referred to the HSE mental health service, even for ADHD or autism: you're going to have to give your entire mental health history, your family/social background, and all of your medical history. Even if it's just to maintain your meds Rx. Be prepared. I ...was not.

Yup. In case you need a reminder about Garron Noone. Straight into the bin.

"Kildare Street shouldn't be telling Kerry what to do," says Maria Steen, who thinks Rome should be telling everyone what to do. #Aras25 #FeckOffIona

Lush has launched a trans flag bath bomb to help support transgender and gender-diverse people around the world. 75% of the sale price of the Lush Liberation vegan bath bomb will be donated to organisations that advocate for transgender rights, including TransActual, My Generation and TENI

My sister asked if I could find something she shared with me years ago. I didn’t find it but I did find this drawing that my nibling did, sent with the email subject “Should I be worried?”

I pay a LOT of money for a macintosh apple in Ireland. It's in my top-ten list of things I miss.

Despite all of the national laudations of the importance of these national heritage structures, the sad fact remains that our hedges have no real protection in law www.thejournal.ie/readme/hedge...

The "March for Life UK" is a massive anti-abortion march, and to the surprise of no one it's being heavily influenced by the US far right. US far right groups have spent millions in the last year alone, attempting to rollback our rights. It's time to fight back.

If you bring a flag or indeed anything on a stick or pole to a protest, watch where you’re pointing the feckin thing. I’ve nearly had my eye poked on multiple occasions. #freepalestine

Sorry for the miserable post.

Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.

Little PSA to Irish musicians and poets. Not sure who is behind this regular gig at the International, but this was my experience with them.

I was like, "I found the dress I'm going to wear to the wedding!" with a link to my sisters of this ridiculous dress on Vinted. My sisters honestly don't know whether I'm joking. So I guess they think there's a chance I'd wear this dress?

Israeli 'war bond' sales no longer facilitated by the Irish Central Bank

As a New Englander living abroad, it was really difficult to walk away from this cardigan in tk maxx. If there had been even a hint of a natural fibre in it, I would have bought it. Already regretting not getting it anyway.

Science: Trump supporters are assholes.

Whatever happened to just buying stuff and then owning that stuff.

Yep this. Some people like to say “this isn’t us” or think we’re immune to the brain rot elsewhere. Just because the eye of Sauron has been slower to look in our direction doesn’t make us immune

Dublin 7 folks - anyone have any more info on this new writers group?

You know, when doing genealogical research, you hope to uncover photos of long lost, glamourous beauties. But what you really find is your great aunt Assunta, a little old lady from Minturno, Italy with John Candy's face.

Plenty of them around these days, especially in governments around the world. But also on the streets and on social media. "See no evil, hear no evil, so evil can't be happening" they say with their heads buried in the sand.

This is awful. The poor woman and her family. Give us electronic health records jfc. I said before the lack of them will kill people and here’s an example of it.

I cycled to clontarf and went along that new greenway in East Point - it was lovely!!! Then I bought myself an American pickle in a fancy shop.

Brilliant news! 👏🏻🏳️‍⚧️ www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/21/a...

‘We don’t go to no damn football game to see MALE cheerleaders, we go to see super fit dudes in really tight pants kneel down & reach between each others legs, run & tackle until they collapse in a sweaty pile of man so we can get tipsy in the stands & admiringly call ‘em ‘units’

This is the part where they're going to pretend every single one of us who were correct about "AI" for the past few years actually wasn't, because that would mean the media, tech executives and most of Wall Street were wrong.

Palestinian children who have lost parents were overcome with emotion as they graduated in a ceremony at Gaza's al-Wafaa Orphan Village. The UN says Israel has damaged 97% of educational facilities in the besieged enclave.

Deleting 1,000 emails would have a carbon benefit of about five grams CO2e. Using a laptop for 30 minutes to delete those emails would emit about 28 grams of CO2e. Destroying the corporations responsible for climate collapse would be so much more fun and effective.

Was reminded of Bentham’s argument that fear of crime can be a worse harm than crime itself. Everyone can be affected by fear of crime but relatively few people experience serious crime. And fear of crime can easily be manipulated for nefarious purposes.
