Real people in the real world need to start rolling up metaphorical newspapers and start slapping the billionaire bros on their metaphorical noses, repeatedly, and damn hard, until said bros learn to come to heel. Or else we’re doomed. We need to take back control.

Has anyone ever listened to a whole Ezra Klein podcast? I mean in its entirety. Coz I’d rather hurl myself out a window. But maybe that’s just me.

The shenanigans at Gript media.

Happy Boards of Canada day to all who celebrate.

In my childhood a salad meant butterhead lettuce, tomato, pickled beetroot, slices of processed corned beef or ham, potato salad from a tin and slices of Calvita cheese, and added salad cream.

Made myself a lovely salad. Thought I should tell ye.

Officially, a scorcher.

That’s a lovely day.

So Trump will spend billions only to revert to a deal that is less than Obama’s Iran deal. And then he’ll do something similar in Cuba.

Mark Ashton, central character in the film 'Pride', worked at the Red Wedge office in 1986/7 where his radical energy kept us all on our toes. I'll be performing at a celebration of his life and activism at The Vauxhall Tavern in south London on Thursday May 21st. link.outsavvy.com/80f7cb6p

Are they “having a mental health crisis, or on a call with someone” is a question I ask myself a lot.

Lots of people in the UK have been waiting patiently for Keir Starmer to stop being shit. But he shows no intention of doing that. His father was a tool maker btw.

I dislike both Pink Ladies and Granny Smiths. Does that make me a misogynist?

They should do the Met next year but restrict the guests to wearing costumes only made with found objects. I’d watch that.

At the time Shazam blew my mind. Everything since has been pale imitation.

The vulgarity.

I’m really upset to hear of the death of Gary Lydon. Such a lovely guy and an extraordinary actor. RIP.

Happy Mayday. Power to the people!

If anyone is looking for Donald Trump, he’s tied to a tree outside Lidl on Cork Street.

We’ve had our summer now.

It was obviously a conspiracy to enact the most inept assassination attempt orchestrated by the most cunning military industrial complex on earth - or something like that.

It’s 15 degrees today so I took my t-shirt off in town and shoved my hands down the front of my pants. I love Irish culture.

I couldn’t give a shit about the Stephen’s Green shopping centre.

If anyone is missing their broccoli, it’s on the South Circular Road in Rialto.

Fuck Sharon Osbourne

Saturday is Record Store Day. I find that very exciting. So fuck you.

Moya Brennan, RIP.

Take my Pope’s name out of your fucking mouth!!!

The genuine terror a phone call before 9am causes.

Time to book a weekend in Budapest. I used to go there quite a lot but stopped going in 2017 coz Orban was such an asshole.

Brian Eno is a far far better moral thinker and innovative artist than Nick Cave is. Just saying.

The lads, back in their rooms, having missed their weekend with the kids owing to manning the blockades since Thursday etc and finally wondering, in a moment of bleak silence, what the fuck was all that about.

Great news for Ukraine. Great news for Europe. And shit news for flag-shaggers everywhere.

Hahahahaha Victor Orban. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahaha JD Vance. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Looks like Orban is out on his ear.

Please!! Someone stop them!!!! They’re going to blockade the shit out of each other!!!

This day could go one of two ways - Orban wins and we’re all doomed. Or. Orban loses and doom is postponed.

The ‘lads’ have fucked off home it seems.

How I have grown to detest the word, ‘lads’.

The fuel protests in Ireland are a Trojan Horse that aim to bring fascism to Ireland. We are witnessing the birth of an Irish version MAGA. The more you look, the more obvious it is that many of the key spokesmen (and they are all men) are dangerous anti-immigrant far right agitators.Wake up.

Never trust the flag-shaggers.

The last time I saw left leaning folk this deluded and lost was when they piled in to support Gemma O’Doherty’s presidential campaign.

No surprise to anyone who has carefully watched these ‘oil’ protesters.

The army intervention in this blockade has been very badly handled. The way they blew the shit out of the GPO and surrounding buildings really upset the lads.

I’ll be honest with you - them Kildare lads, the Kilcock posse, the Monesterevin boys- they’re like the saints alive. And they’re absolutely drenched now.

Awful windy for the lads now.

I’d say supermac’s O’Connell street must feel like they’re having all their Ploughing championships at once.

A trans-baby ate my tractor.

They are asking for ‘papers’ from people with medical appointments at motorway blockade points. Vile, disgusting fascists.
