I think, for me, it's gotta be The Americans.

Can we just outlaw X already? It is of no benefit to society.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

But when is Nollaig na Men

#OTD in 1905, Baroness Orczy's 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘗𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘭 opened in London's West End (novel published later in 1905). Origin of the #superhero trope--creating the archetype of the "hero with a secret identity," a concept central to modern superhero fiction. A precursor to Zorro, Batman & more. #booksky

Looking out the bedroom window and pretending I'm in the Alps this morning.

Schools closed for a snow day with a sprinkling of #sneachta in North Inishowen

I've always loved the cinema but lately I prefer watching films at home. I try to encourage my kids to go but The Minecraft Movie shenanigans was the final nail in the coffin for them. They hate the cinema. They can't be doing with other people's shit anymore. share.google/P5nCQXrs4qkJ...

Oh man! I watched Aftersun for the first time last night. So crushingly beautiful in its minimalist stillness.

Ughh I spent the whole night doing an exam where I didn't understand any of the questions. Nearly twenty years since I've done any sort of exam and still the trauma lingers.

Tonight's Wolf Moon brought to you by the new phone mount for our telescope.

Ah lads! Maybe next time ask us in July, not in the black pit of despair that is an Irish winter. share.google/zkHSkSs0u9Ar...

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

bwahahahaha 🤣

Good morning, kids. Be safe out there. 🥰

I really can't stand when a business or organisation only has a presence on Facebook. No website, just Facebook. I'm not getting a FB account lads. I'm just not going to use your business.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

I love this painting. There's such a hidden story there. Is the painter being annoying? Is the painting meant to be put above the snack drawer her already chunky husband keeps raiding? Or is she judging us through the mists of time? Marco Basaiti - Portrait of a Lady early 1500

The internet is buzzing over the huge swell that rocked up to Mullaghmore this month. Even if you don't know a thing about surfing, you'll swell with pride when you see this little island of ours having its chance to shine on the international stage. youtu.be/YKvUGYP0zw8?...

This sounds like the backstory lore for a horror series... share.google/jZBe4BEvPOJ3...

Started watching Big Little Lies the other night and I am hooked.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

This is truly living 😲

Hate when this guy shows up in my feed

Glad I didn't grow up with the temptation of digital screens and online distractions. Don't think I'd have lost myself in so many strange new worlds, meeting such an eclectic mix of characters as I did devouring the contents of the local library. indiandefencereview.com/104-million-...

My Mum bought my kids a candyfloss machine and I'm not entirely sure it's safe. I mean, I've safely made at least 10 candyfloss sticks so far and they've all been 😍 But something about 100 samples being required for statistical significance sticks in my head from maths/biology at school 🤔

@louiestowell.bsky.social A lovely end to Christmas day - staying up late with Loki... whilst Mum has a cosmo.

I knew it! share.google/U72y8NUixrjU...

I think my iceberg is currently upside down 😔

Happy Christmas Bluesky bods. Hope you all had a lovely day. 🎅🎄🍹🎁

Any shop opening on St.Stephen's day should face a boycott. Let your poor staff have a break after facing the hellscape of Christmas week. No one needs to be in a shop one day after Christmas. NO ONE!

A reminder that 90% of Ireland's so-called 'forests' are industrial plantations, virtually empty of nature. It doesn't have to be like this: with a bit of thought, we could satisfy our timber needs AND have huge tracts of natural forest ecosystems, bursting with life.

Going to pop this up on Daft for half a million. But, with the price of chocolate, I probably won't break even.

Momentarily intrigued by Caleb Williams trending, wondering could the latest Frankenstein release really have made that big of an impact. Nope. NFL - Not Fucking Likely 😂

Ireland rivalling Hawaii for huge surfing waves with this swell. Mullaghmore looking truly awesome 😲 youtu.be/aYf9BU3wmSI?...

Absolutely shameful decision. share.google/efz2zGIZg3dT...

No matter how many times I try, I can never manage to make leek and potato soup as good as my Mum's. But, today, I came damn close.

The is a taxi driver in Ballaghadereen called Abdul. But locals call him Abdul Abhaile. (“ag dul abhaile”is Irish for “going home”)

Takes the breath away... R.S. Thomas

I've been watching this series and am completely in awe of these young surfers. Their courage in tackling big waves has me embarrassed tbh 😳 I freak out in anything over 5 or 6ft. I love their commitment and hope they inspire others to follow in their footsteps. www.rte.ie/player/serie...

I have never been able to get this book out of my head since I first read it nearly twenty years ago. Not Christmassy as such, but set in the snowy wilderness of 1860s Canada and a real page-turner.

Tried to melt a Cadbury's Easter egg down to make Christmas treats and it just would not melt. It clumped into a thick, brown, gloopy mess. Had to add a bar of 70% dark chocolate before it would behave itself.

My siblings and I grew up in hugely deprived, underprivileged circumstances but are now doing ok, in no small part due to support from the state, including a great social worker, a place at a school for children with special educational needs, free university education. And some good luck

Making vegan cakepops for Christmas gifts. Had a few duds along the way and dutifully disposed of them... in my belly 😋
