This really has been brewing with the lead up to this movie. So many absurd criticisms of a film that's not even out yet, so of course it's all actually been Gamergate style anti-woke horseshit

What's crazy is that everyone knew this would happen and warned this would happen, and yet if you dared point it out to any members of the government they'd react like a cat whose paw you accidentally stepped on

Lost any remaining bit of confidence I had left in Sinn Fein tonight, which is really not what you want from a party a mere week out from a bye-election

It’s 2026. Why is Bertie Ahern *still* being pushed on me like he’s a person whose opinion I should have any respect for? If I never hear from that crap Haughey reboot again it’ll still be too soon

Evergreen headline.

I've been mainlining Game Changer episodes for the past couple of days, and if I had to explain why that is, I'd show them this two minute clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3FW...

Genuinely surprised at how successful this has seemingly been so far. Haven't watched much myself, but I've enjoyed clips of weekend update and love Ania

"You can't say anything about migrants anymore" I write in my national newspaper column where I say all kinds of horrible things about migrants

That Chris Nolan guy sure makes really good movies. Looking forward to another one coming out in a couple months!

A visibly emotional Anne Hathaway responding to a trans kid--who named herself Ella after Ella Enchanted, and thanked Hathaway for her courage as an ally--saying "Ella, sweetie, I want to make something absolutely clear: It takes zero courage to love you"......now I might cry too

scott parker getting the sack gives me another chance to post my favourite football video of all time

The only explanation for the terrible ordering of this list is that it was written by Tim Spiers

Their rivals getting lucky now too

ANCIENT GREEK PRO WRESTLING PROMOTER: ok so you're going to be what's known as a "heel" ACHILLES: fuck you

Really pathetic from Wolff to downplay the safety concerns coming from Bearman's crash in Japan. All for the sake of keeping Mercedes top of the pecking order. F1 has no business listening to a word this man says #F1

Spurs are truly bad and unlucky. Those are the teams that go down

These people are utterly delusional. They are not "the voice of the people of Ireland" and it's ludicrous that nothing is being done do resolve this mess

one thing that’s clear, whether you’re right or left or whatever worldview, is that Irish people want a PROACTIVE government that DOES things, that TELLS them things, that PREPARES for things. the Irish government does absolutely none of this, it does as little as it can do, and nobody likes it.

Nail on the head

Absolutely unhinged opening paragraph in this one

Ah yes, what Galway truly needs is just more roads. That'll fix it

Italy are the strangest country in sport. Historically great at football, but then miss the World Cup 3x in a row, win a Euros in that time. They've become great at tennis out of nowhere, 19yo F1 championship leader, qualified for the cricket world cup

Sums it all up very well. This government is forever interested in being seen to do good, rather than just doing good

I have so many conflicted feelings about the World Cup. It's been undermined so thoroughly by FIFA that it's hard to be as excited about it as years gone by. But it's still so devastating when Ireland miss out. Never getting to see a hero like Coleman on that stage stings

if your sport has to exclude minority groups to maintain whatever notion of competitive balance it apparently needs, your sport should not exist. it is a net negative on society.

It is insane that we live in a world where a group of deranged bigots have successfully campaigned for the exclusion of a group of women from female sports, and the introduction of "gene" testing for female athletes under the guise of "protecting women"

jk rowling spends money she makes from harry potter on stripping rights away from me personally. this is not a hypothetical scenario. that's where it goes if you buy wizard crap.

When I say I'm going to bed but my phone is still in arm's reach

i want to go outside and roll around in the grass

Google is annoyingly useless for finding news items in the past. I'm trying to find when the FFIX animated show was first announced. Should be easy, right? No, because there was news about it today, and there's apparently no order of words that brings up articles from before 9 hours ago.

Cannot tell you how regularly this pisses me off

Hall & Oates weather out there

A much simpler solution to this problem would be to prevent six teams from one country qualifying in the first place! Would be incredibly lame for a team to finally qualify for the Champions League and one of their first opponents is a league rival

It is a total and complete cultural victory for the US over the UK that they are now making a UK version of SNL

TIRED: Timothée Chalamet's heel-turn stunt promotional tour for Marty Supreme backfired by convincing the public to start rooting against him WIRED: Timothée Chalamet's heel-turn stunt promotional tour for Marty Supreme paid off by convincing the public to start rooting against Paul Atreides

Mamdani 2039, here we go

Thinking about a girl I knew who bumped into the Saw Doctors on a night out in Galway, invited them back for a house party, made them climb in the kitchen window (she forgot her key) and then sat them all down to watch her favourite movie The Virgin Suicides

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

This scene is 1) a good showcase of how actions from every day people can help combat state violence 2) an extremely hype needle drop 3) the most “dudes rule” moment I’ve seen in a film in some time

Let's place offence

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

apropos of hollywood’s big day

Big Oscars take for me is that I quite like OBAA and Sinners, but OBAA was just better. It's PTA's night I feel

Six games into the season and Galway United have conceded winning goals in the 91st, 90th and 87th minute. Great stuff. Pat Hickey getting the latest one is a nice bit of extra sting on top too #LOI

one of those clips that gets funnier every time you watch it bsky.app/profile/mudr...

Feeling pretty good about my feeling that teams are actually better off playing the first leg of knockout ties at home, rather than away

every day I read wonderful writing that makes me more appreciative, observant, thoughtful in how I engage with the world, and every day a few hundred people spend billions to try and obliterate that from our lives. this business is being snuffed out because it is worth so very much
