Let's go Team Ireland! Cuir bród orainn ar fad! 🇮🇪🇮🇪 #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026

Honking laughing at the Irish athlete who was fighting for her life with that flag.

Two types of clothing at this opening ceremony: 1) We had a designer painstakingly create this over a period of months, based on a very particular idea 2) We bought a coat

Guys where’s my Amazon package

Anyone know where one would buy one of these sleeping bag coats that the flag bearers are wearing? Asking as the husband of a Cold Woman™️

I love Italian culture

“I’ve been cast at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony” “What are you?” “A stovetop espresso maker.”

I'll believe this is a true celebration of Italian culture when there's a dance routine based around old retired men silently observing roadwork construction with their hands behind their backs. #Olympics #OpeningCeremony

Fuck it's the Weeping Angels. Nobody blink. #WinterGames #OpeningCeremony

Watching Figure Skating. Forget the actual routines. I think I would die attempting to get into one of those costumes.

Performed a song I wrote about the short that screened before A Goofy Movie in 1995 cause I’m allowed to do that

This is an incredible Graham Norton line-up but I especially loved that Cillian Murphy & Domhnall Gleeson give off the vibe of two members the groom's football team at a wedding that have been intentionally seated apart from one by the bride.

Gorgeous new @ciaraioch.bsky.social print for a rainy Friday morning

Clap Your Hands Say Heil

Riefenstahl Out Boy

Modest Maus

That time I recreated the Simpsons intro using only stock footage.

They really did light the lights

Death Camp For Cutie over here

Thinking about Big Bertha, the world's oldest cow from County Kerry, who died just before her 49th birthday after calving 39 times over her life (another record) - she also raised thousands for charity, lead the St. Patrick's parade in Sneem, and had her birthday and wake in a local pub

‘The show delivers fulsomely, and it probably delivers even more if you’re not watching through the same lens as me (completely freaking out that if they mess this up, then I can kiss The Muppet Show goodbye for another 45 years).’ They let me review the new Muppets Show special-slash-pilot.

Miss Piggy stuns at ‘The Muppet Show’ premiere.

I'm surprised they didn't send James Ryan to the Hague for that #FraVIre

Our genius tactic of tiring them out by scoring all those tries is about to pay off! #FravIre

Three or four more of those and we're laughing. #FraVIre

Champagne rugby but it's being methodically beaten about the head with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot for 50 mins #FravIre

I'm hm watching this game in a covered beer garden that is slowly but inexorably flooding from the rain. I'm trying not to see this as a sign. #FravIre

This only feeds into my theory that the men’s rugby team and the men’s football team can’t be good at the same time. #FRAvIRE

Look lads, this one is on me. I said "I don't care how badly we play as long as we blood some new players ahead of the World Cup" while holding that monkey's paw #FarvIre

Okay, the one benefit of this being played on a Thursday is that I can change over to Reeling in the Years on RTE 1 #FravIre

Yes, the message is the most important part here. Still, this is like seeing a shelter dog come alive and run free during a park visit before having to go back to their sad shelter cage (doing Magneto and Gandalf cameos)

Thursday Six Nations feels so wrong. I can't get this excited *and* be expected to go to work tomorrow. #FravIRe

Me, to Antoine DuPont, every time Ireland play France. #FravIre

Saying "here comes trouble" and "they'll let anyone in here" when your mate walks into the pub.

Torn between loving this and worrying about how this must have affected Kermit on set.

Happy birthday, Michael Sheen! Here’s my portrait commissioned by Visit Wales last year.

The only other place it rains so consistently is Gotham City and now I understand why so many of the citizens turn to circus themed crime.

Not saying it's been raining for too long but the dog has developed rudimentary gills

I recently had a taxi driver that was watching YouTube videos on his phone attached to the dash. He seemed legitimately surprised that I was annoyed about this.

Me, to Antoine DuPont, every time Ireland play France. #FravIre

This is how it feels showing a meme you made to your partner (who isn’t terminally online)

This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow. An absolute must-watch. (Starts at 20:10 but the entire interview is a joy.) youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag

I really thought the global pandemic thing would have taught people to cover their mouths when they cough but alas...

imagine getting so thoroughly bodied by the Beano like this

FFG truly are masters of performative outrage. Bit too close to the bone there, Micheál?

I wrote about Bridgerton and the lot of the worker under sexy feudalism www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-r...

It would be nice if Bluesky had an (optional) city/country tag in people's profile so I can tell at a glance if the person mad at me in my comments is from the US or not and therefore can be ignored.
