Some tax decisions by our government are crazy. My son had a wheat allergy as a young child and I had to buy him all the gluten free food products. Were he a coeliac, I could have claimed tax relief but instead he only had a life-threatening allergy so I could not. www.thejournal.ie/calls-for-va...

If online retailers can swap out the picture to match the particular colour I have chosen, why can't they swap out the model for the particular size I have chosen? It is not helpful for me to see these trousers on a women who weighs less than me even though she's also a foot taller than I am.

Something cool has happened with the fallen trees in St Anne's Wood.

Jesus Christ almighty when is someone going to shout stop?!

An atheist, a Crossfitter, and a vegan walk into a bar. I know because they told me.

This is very weird.

Just back from The Madolorian and Grogu. Thumbs up all round 👍🏻 The kids loved Grogu's toddler energy, hubby liked the nod to John Wick in the fight scenes, and I loved the homage to Akira Kurosawa along with Martin Scorsese's cameo. We need more movies like this, aimed at the 8-14 age group.

Hot week ahead- read this and you may well just save a life.

How many artists could be supported with the money that is being pumped into AI? Surely patronage is more cost-effective than pouring all that money into stealing the passion and imagination of a marginalised, underpaid group only to produce a sloppy facsimilie of their art.

So let's get back to smaller, Indie cinema that doesn't need to be bank-rolled by fascism. Let's return to thoughtful, low budget artworks not relying on gimmicks. I, for one, am tired of endless iterations of the same mindless CGI slop. share.google/PwIk6d3Hjjhd...

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

Setting up ROS online for a 10 year old is a right pain in the arse - insists on 2FA but he has no mobile phone. Instead there's a series of questions like: What was the make of your first car? What is the date of birth of your eldest child? Makes it pretty impossible for chimney sweeps to pay tax.

Today, Ukrainians wear more than tradition. They wear memory, identity, resistance, and belonging. Vyshyvanka Day is not folklore for tourists. It is culture that survived empires, famine, occupation, and war. Every embroidered thread carries history. ❤️🇺🇦❤️ www.obozrevatel.com/ukr/novosti-...

💙💛 Happy Vyshyvanka Day 💛💙

The plot thickens. The younger wean has just got in from school and is wailing and moaning that the elder wean (who is excellent at maths) answered all his questions wrong but still took the ingots. Lesson learned perhaps? 🤔

It's been an education. Thank you for your service 🫡

this is a masterpiece

Just discovered the elder wean did the younger wean's maths homework in exchange for 11 iron ingots. I can't decide wheter to tell them off or not as I have no clue what this means. Possibly Minecraft related? I feel so old.

As a community theatre performer *THANK YOU*! The way things are going, everything owned by theRUMP supporters is going to end up being propagandanistic A.I. drivel, so the only thing left will be live entertainment with flesh and blood performers.

Why is the EU allowing piracy in the Mediterranean Sea? 'The flotilla organisers said 10 boats in a 60-vessel convoy were intercepted in international waters and boarded by Israeli forces on Monday morning.' share.google/I6hrgGL8wta2...

Is there any way to let BlueSky know I'm not a Yank? I have zero interest in how that particular snake is eating its own arse today.

It's my birthday next week and the best present you could give me is to come to my book launch at Listowel Writers Week! Please spread the word! ❤️

My friend Anna Maconochie, who's not on here, has a collection of short stories coming out soon. She's a fantastic writer on the subject of London life, ambition, art and love, with elements of the truly weird. Preorder here! dauntbooks.co.uk/shop/books/d...

What did Han Solo say when he ate a baby Wookiee? It's a little chewy.

Watched H is for Hawk last night and honestly can't get past the fact it's just a self-indulgent, middle-class remake of Kes.

I'm thinking we need a new TV show, in the same vein as The Americans but with Gary Oldman as a Russian operative in the UK. Could be cold war era but would also work today. He really is the master of disguise - Jackson Lamb, Vlad Dracula, Commissioner Gordon, Winston Churchill, Notman Stansfield...

My son is at that age where he's curious about the human body. I'll have to hide it somewhere else now.

The next James Bond should be Gary Oldman in his Jackson Lamb persona.

Here we have a meditation on self-recovery, identity, & emotional healing delivered through a series of imperatives It examines the self we present to others & the self we neglect internally It is a poem about returning home to yourself. #poetry #poemoftheday #MentalHealthMatters
