Poolbeg sunrise

Very fine writing, and depressingly on the nail.

RIP Gilson Lavis First came across him as I fell in love with Squeeze & he was their drummer but he played with Buddy Holly & Jerry Lee Lewis previously. Anyway, here’s a perfect kitchen sink pop song. youtu.be/RQciegmLPAo?...

At Home with Maria, exclusive by Barry Eager: ‘her fragrant tears clear a path through the ornate landscaped garden to her private chapel & sacrificial altar; we pray together but alas when we open our eyes, Connolly is still President and I am still ginger’

I just did the international sign for ‘Can I have the bill please?’ and the waiter brought me a stylophone.

I’m *almost* tempted to buy the Sindo tomorrow, just for the exploding heads #aras25

Whatever you think will be in this timeline, nope, try again.

For overseas followers: in Ireland every seven years we vote for someone to tell the Government they are a bunch of evil clowns and every five years we vote in the evil clowns.

Superb article, beautifully written...

Here's an oldie from The Oldie... #art #artist #lifedrawing #nudity #chicken #cartoon

This image of Rat Island in New York looks eerily familiar, sideways... (from a great Guardian Photo Essay) www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Oh do pay attention Bond. Now, this might look like a perfectly normal ball point pen, but by manipulating these controls it can write in FOUR different colours.

The few times I met Manchán, he was a lovely, gentle man, and a uniquely funny & engaging polymath. Sympathies to Ruan & the family. RIP.

'One Battle After Another' - wow, absolutely amazing. And what a cast, especially Sean Penn. Still reeling from it all...

Just revisiting this @privateeyenews #cartoon #mansbestfriend🐶 #doglover #dogs #drinking

The Bye Run Lady (sorry, I’ll get my coat 😬)

I do enjoy that the country comes together to tell Maria Steen to fuck off every 5/7 years.

Over on Instagram, the famous purveyors of knickers Seán & Máire are sadly having a 'retirement sale' and are selling off underpants... FFS

From the real expert & aficionado…

Our lovely doc on Harry Clarke’s ill-fated & exquisite masterpiece, The Geneva Window, is repeated on RTÉ1 tonight at 11.45pm. A midnight feast!

Applied for new passport & passport card Friday afternoon. Both dispatched today. Great service, kudos when it's deserved...

#Aras25 And then. After everyone with a phone and a bit of a profile declares themselves fit to be President. Everyone stops, turns and gasps as the curtain is slowly pulled back to reveal that one guy you had all forgotten about

“I have succeeded in business/bog-ball/kicking people/Irish dancing/guessing the weather, therefore I will succeed in presidenting” ffs

This documentary on the great Martin Parr is on BBC4 tonight @ 9pm. Worth watching... youtu.be/AKEFfxXxbvk

Reason enough for me.

Famine has not “struck” Gaza. It is not the result of some natural disaster. It has been engineered. Famine has been inflicted upon the people of Gaza by Israel, who have been facilitated by their enabler allies.

My earliest memory of the 'Charity' Shield: Keegan & Bremner both sent off. Proper football. #YNWA #LFC

Mo Salah is asking the right questions

This is superb, hilariously so... wonderful journalism

Watched the beginning of Masterchef… nah. The producers have made enough money from the format over the years that they could have come up with some kind of reshoot/event/special with all the contestants, but without the two rightly-cancelled clowns. Bad call, BBC.

'Atomic People' - the astounding documentary told by survivors of Hiroshima & Nagasaki - is on BBC4 tonight at 9pm. It's shocking, beautifully made, and unmissable. #AtomicPeople

The White House was originally planned as a 'Palace', but George Washington rejected that - insisting on something more humble: a symbolic bastion against despots and would-be Kings. He chose Irishman James Hoban to build it... who is now spinning in his grave). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today, we remember and celebrate Janey Godley.

The Last Irish Missionaries: Ep 1 tonight 9.35pm RTÉ One (with Part 2 on the Player immediately after) Really worth watching, and great to be a part of. We met many brave, selfless & thoroughly decent people. With a superb team behind the camera. #LastMissionaries

Catching up, Prodigy at Glastonbury was f**king mind blowing. Gig of the festival. Astonishing show, staging, crowd… and a lot of respect for Keith 😈

The UNICEF spokesperson reported that the average number of children killed by Israeli attacks in one day in Gaza is around 27 children.

Au lait, au lait au lait au lait, au lait, au lait.

The very best of men: the epitome of human empathy, decency & kindness RIP

80 today. #debbieharry #happybirthday

Covering your own town in actual shit because you don't want LGBT people to have the same marching rights that everyone else in NI has really sums up the far right quite rightly

CMAT absolutely bossing Glasto. Amazing to watch, full house on main stage. Go girl. #glastonbury2025

Bezos wedding. Dump gifts here. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Children in Gaza dying of thirst after trucks carrying water blocked - UNICEF

What I want is a TV documentary channel entirely devoted to documentaries with no quick-cut montages of everything about to happen, which don't give a fuck about keeping my attention, presented by extremely knowledgeable people in a terrible mood who have no interest in trying to make me like them.
