very poor show from Galway today, this Limerick team are in a different league, but, semi-finals aside, I think its been a relatively disappointing hurling season over-all

GALWAY NEEDS BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORT, PARK-AND-RIDE WHERE IT’S ACTUALLY LIKELY TO BE USED, AND PROTECTED CYCLE LANES THAT DON’T STOP ABRUPTLY AFTER A HUNDRED BLOODY FEET. YOU USELESS SHOWER OF GREEDY, SHORT-SIGHTED, EMPTY SUITS.

Oh so all the stuff about housing delivery was the total bullshit everyone said it was huh, funny that Also government ministers current obsession with the hard-man act is so funny. What consultant got paid to advise them all to act like this

It's gas that Galway of all teams have a player called Aaron Niland

Ah the article is by William MacAskill, the effective altruism guy who disappeared when his friend Sam Bankman-Fried got jailed. Remember that his thesis is that humanity's betterment depends on techbros becoming unimaginably wealthy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...

i am begging venues & bands to rediscover clipart

John Landis on the set of three amigos told Chevy Chase he was going to kill him and Chase responded “with what, there’s no helicopter here,” and that may be the only funny and good thing Chevy has ever said

Reading an article about how we need an outright ban on e-scooters and following it up by reading an article about how the scrambler ban has no impact cause the Gardaí aren't trained to pursue them. I hate connecting dots and I refuse to do it.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

imagine there's no starmer it's harder than you think no tail that's curly no snout that's pale and pink

Theres a water shortage, the cost of electricity is out of control, and the criminal justice system is about to collapse so of course it's time for our annual bout of national e-scooter madness

If you pile your furniture in the middle of your living room then set it on fire, you will have the warmest house in your street, for a few hours.

Oh look, Jim O’Callaghan caught making shit up again #speirghorm

You sometimes see Government TDs pointing out that Ireland isn’t unique in the world in having a housing crisis. But this graph in today’s Financial Times shows just how extreme ours is compared to the places elsewhere, which also describe themselves as a in a housing crisis.

Big news! The demo for Hibera, Requiem for the Forgotten will be available on Steam on August 3rd! That's pretty soon! #Hibera #Indiegames #Indiedev

"Telling others they don’t have a monopoly on compassion when they’re begging you to care is a bit like showing up at Heuston Station with a Thomas the Tank Engine toy in your hand and ranting at an Iarnród Éireann staff member about how they don’t have a monopoly on the railroads." Surrealing:

‘Raw Milk’ has never been a thing in Ireland! Ireland led the way tight regulation of Dairies! It was one of the first things that the Independent Irish state did.

Excited to see Harry Hill in a Yorkshire pub. I went over and told him how I was a fan and still fondly remembered him performing in the Tufnell Park Tavern in the 90s. He looked perplexed but said nothing. Later, my husband commented on how polite Ross Kemp had been.

Paging Dr @ianfay.bsky.social , Dr Fay to the OR

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it a modest 10% productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1000% productivity gain." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...

"Road safety is close to a perfect test case, because nobody is for people dying on the roads, there is no powerful lobby defending the status quo" WHAT? WHAT? There is no motoring lobby? What the absolute &*(£ are you on about.

"the government has never in its history been larger" Ireland has 10 civil servants per 1,000 population compared to 80/60/60 in France, Netherlands, and Germany. Ireland is still completely understaffed yet Sinead thinks we have enough and I guess are just idiotic leprachauns.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM0i... OH BOY it's FINALLY time for the video you've been waiting 2000 years for! A while ago @oxfordarchaeology.bsky.social dug up a VERY familiar looking 28mm figurine...except this guy is 1800 years old! So come join me and find out more about this amazing lil mini!!

Oh my god, that is 😘 👌 What if we tried a regional variant on exactly the same abysmal wankers? Let’s see how it works out

i first met sam neill in the late 80's on the set of jeremy brett's sherlock holmes. i think it was manchester studios. he and jeremy were pals. i was moving a light wi'out gloves cause i'm a tosser. i burned my hand. yelled "FUCK!" jeremy came right over, sam (who was visiting) in tow. (1/4)

The weakness of the Taoiseach’s response to a suggestion to collect data to allow policy to be made rationally suggests a strong wish for that data not to be made clear.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Starmer setting aside time on his last day as PM (and possibly even timing his departure overall) so that his last act would be to attend England's World Cup Final, only for England to not make it so he just like...has a free day now, is the most Starmer thing to ever happen

That’s reactivated some MDMA residue from 2014 in my cerebrospinal fluid. Cooking tomorrow’s dinner here.

Me, a bellend: "this doesn't look sustainable" Tuchel, a tactical genius: "these Argentinan lads don't look like scoring, they keep missing by centimeters"

Not sure I've ever seen a game thrown away as badly by poor game management but hopefully this will finally put to bed the absolute bollocks that Tuchel is an elite manager. A total fraud

England up 1 deciding to sit back and do nothing with 9 in the box for a half hour against Argentina in the World Cup

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much in my life

Ah that's lovely

The ultimate beach accessory

I really don't know how to tell you all this, so I'm just going to come out and say it: We have a Kickstarter. We're looking for kickstarter followers, we can't launch until we have like 300+ So if that's your jam: you know what to do. #indiegames #hibera www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Bears repeating that this has been effective and uncontroversial since its introduction.

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

Saw a clip of Micheál Martin responding to Holly Cairns today, where she raised a moral issue, and says "you don't have a monopoly on empathy", which is a line I've seen him use about 800 times now. Also it's nuts how the way he responds to women isn't discussed more.

I've a friend who likes to describe people as "as thick as bottled shite" whenever they encounter a person who is both quintessentially stupid and entirely useless. You know, this kinda fella. The kind of fella who seems to actually want bottled shite.

2 of my sets of terrain have ‘gone missing’ after the HantsGT event at Entoyment earlier this year. If anyone sees them on a gaming table anytime soon, can they let me know. Please share.

Hit the data centres with the nighttime restrictions first. If you try to look at a website after midnight you just see Aertel instead.

JK Rowling has used her wealth to stoke the fires of a worldwide pogrom against trans people to where she's silenced a Holocaust scholar after JK engaged in Holocaust denial & now done the same to Amnesty International for their warning about trans eradication, but keep buying your Harry Potter crap
