I mean, yeah

I have no interest in this man’s problems

you: irish goodbye me: taking the rat taxi 😎

there was a young man from cork who got limericks and haikus confused

Still thinking about Project Hail Mary.

Watching Project Hail Mary has inspired me as an author. I've resolved that, if there is ever a screen-adaptation of Spirit Level, all the Cork characters will be practical effects, done by puppeteers. Not CGI.

is anyone doing a long read on the Cadburys fall off situation, I know it’s about the sale to the US and the palm oil stuff but I wanna read more, are the Cadburys workers sad about it, is it actually affecting profits, it feels like a true symbol of the enshittification era

Looking forward to the bit in the new HP show where the Sorting Hat says 'Slytherin' and Harry says 'please no, I know I'm not a Slytherin' and the Sorting Hat says 'too fuckin bad, you're going into Slytherin, you're just confused'

(guy realizing his hand makes the shadow of a rabbit on the wall and he can wiggle his fingers to move the ears) Holy SHIT. Hollywood is so fucking done.

Great, grandad’s crying, nice one

Just met a friend I used to play football with from Lebanon who told me eight relatives have been killed so far this year. If you think war and genocide are making the world in any way safer, think again.

Might have strained something jumping on the Irish soccer bandwagon.

Hey, our stuff is in there!

Ahead of the single most important thing that has ever happened in my entire life, I wrote about what happens when a nation holds its breath for so long that it turns blue. www.balls.ie/football/cze...

Still thinking about Project Hail Mary.

I have deleted my original debunk of this story as it appears it is actually an amalgamation of 2 stories... (Don't let anyone tell you I'm not prepared to be corrected!!) So let's look at them individually: We'll start with the photo... So what's going on? 🧵1/12

Finally saw Project Hail Mary

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

The Jetsons lied to us

No, this is Sarah Connor in Judgement Day

i do not want to get stupid by offloading my brain to a computer. i want to get stupid the old fashioned way (going somewhere loud and caring about sports)

baz luhrmann's discworld

Fighting deprivation requires 2 things mainly: a long term plan, and significant investment in that long term plan. That's why nothing ever happens

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

No, this is Sarah Connor in Judgement Day

Morning Bluesky.

Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly performing on the set of Singin' in the Rain (1952)

I covered this story for Defector because it falls under two of my beats, Amazon's Reacher News & Views and Suburban Brain Disorder. defector.com/suburban-hom...

MIRANDA: the AI bubble is popping, good riddance CHARLOTTE: I think Harry will have a lot of cases at his law firm about this SAMANTHA: it's been three weeks since I last had *my* bubble popped CARRIE: Big is in hospital after trying to fight Reacher

Solo isn't bad but it does the cardinal sin of prequels where it takes a character and goes "Hey. Look at this guy. All of the stuff we show and say about him implies he's led quite the colourful life. Wrong. All that stuff happened to him in one long weekend".

given the modern conservative fascination with Sparta it's at least a little funny that they've engineered a situation in which Persia is able to level a dramatically uneven battlefield by forcing the conflict into a narrow pathway

the Red Hot Chili Peppers had these incredibly talented, thoughtful musicians and also a lead singer constantly yelling "lickity split with my kung fu chicken / met a freaky girl for some freakity lickin"

"I'm doing my part!"

We used to go down to Wexford every summer holiday to my Grandad's caravan & there was a random donkey in the field beside it. My parents told me that it was our donkey, called Freida, but we had to keep it in Wexford because our garden wasn't big enough. I looked forward to seeing Freida all year

Oh but when Afroman does it, it's okay?

Kids training to ask for a picture with Chappell Roan

Trying on clothes in a shop changing room somehow results in the same heart rate as being chased by someone with a chainsaw.

The vibes lately feel like the two weeks in school before summer where the teachers aren't even pretending to teach any more and are just playing Family Guy DVDs in Maths. Except "summer break" in this case is "fiery nuclear oblivion".

"Is working from home affecting productivity? We've asked someone who owns 1/3 of the Docklands"

Every second opinion piece these days is "Young people miss the camaraderie and social life of working in an office." and it's written by Europe'e biggest manufacturer of cubicle walls, water coolers and fluorescent lights.

Me: Hello, the power is out on our road. ESB lady: I'm very sorry sir. It's an issue with one of the Transformers. Me *suddenly frightened*: It's not Megatron, is it?

Very good timing by me to hold off learning to drive until 2026. I might invest in the Metaverse while I'm at it.

My take is Chappell Roan's security was right to do that. Hotel breakfast is a sacred place where we are all equal. You shouldn't be gallivanting about unless it's to the buffet.
