Screen Time.

President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded Vladyslav Heraskevych the Order of Freedom on Feb. 12, after the skeleton racer was disqualified from the 2026 Olympics for using a custom helmet depicting Ukrainian athletes killed during Russia's full-scale war.

Jesus's name appears fewer times in the New Testament than Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files. And most people think the New Testament is ALL about Jesus.

My first #gardenbeer of the year. Under a brooding sky. #Bskybeer #festbier

If you look closely, I have frog spawn in my pond today!

I recognise an ould fella at this! 😃

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

A pint of @troublebrewing.bsky.social Ambush in The Foggy Dew, Dublin #Bskybeer

Mine is in the drawer since my public service card was upgraded to 'FT' 😉 👴

The next Craic Beer Community meet-up will be on Saturday the 28th of February, at @ballykilcavan.com: an independent brewery in Co. Laois set in the picturesque surroundings of their old farmyard.

"A permanent solution will be happening". It can't be though, can it?

Anyone still labouring under impression that the US is still a functioning democracy and not on fast-track to becoming a fascist hellhole really should read this chilling piece by @klillington.bsky.social on an Irish victim of ICE thuggery. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Nervous. Maybe Longstaff hasn't 90 minutes in him yet. I'd still have probably started him. 3 - 1 to Leeds

Bloody 'ell, DCL! #lufc

I've just come across this. My second marathon, back in the day. Way back, even!

Another excellent piece by Pádraic Fogarty. The Nature Restoration Law and the Land Use Review offer the government a real opportunity to address challenges like flooding head-on, but I have little faith they’ll take it. www.thejournal.ie/readme/storm...

The depressing thing is all the FFFG politicians are on Twitter where no doubt all the assholes and bots are saying "Yeah fuck those woke communist plebs on bikes, kill them all, cars for everyone!" and so they think helmets and high viz is a great idea altogether lads we're on to a winner here!

Have been asked by a couple of publicans this week if we are also putting our prices up. Assume they are all doing new menus/price lists as a result of the big two putting their prices up. We are not.

A landmark study charting wetland birds coming here for wintertime over the past 30 years has revealed mixed fortunes for 63 species of migratory waterbirds in Ireland

And thank you Peter!

A few beers from the @craic.beer outing to Wicklow Wolf earlier

This looks like the place!

On the way, to a pissup in a brewery. 🍻

The IFA never seem to care about all the cattle feed imported from Brazil 🤔🤔 so weird, you'd think that their quality concerns would extend to what they feed their cattle

Good morning from Athleague

Shocker!

Those craft pints your local pub charges you more for than the big brewery stuff are almost always cheaper for them to buy. Pubs have to stop the craft tax ripoff if they want people to move away from the duopoly

Whilst Heineken and Guinness continue to make huge profits, and introduce yet another price increase, Blarney Brewing in Cork are reducing, or freezing, their prices. Support your local craft brewery.

God this storm is brutal, let me check the only place I can reliably see if my train is delayed...

First half versus second half #lufc

Ireland's dangerous roads: When cars come first, everyone loses jrnl.ie/6933338

Former president of Ireland and member of the Elders - a group of global leaders working for human rights - Mary Robinson has said that the US' proposed Board of Peace is not a board of peace, it is "the board of the power of one person"

I've had a nice day out in Dun Laoghaire #tradfest #Bskybeer And some birdwatching earlier

I've picked up a few new followers so I wanted to highlight what I do on my blog - the rest of ye can ignore me! I write mostly about Irish brewing history as my name here suggests, with a focus on the clarification and fixing of our often flawed history. Here's one on hop growing in Ireland ...

Nice brew for this evening
