Waiter gifted us a new phrase.... "and this is some lemon water so your tips didn't get sticky" Me and old Sticky-Tips going to get some use of of that one

Octopuses.... reading about how clever they are and eating about how delicious they are. #pulpo

You could play rugby your whole life and not pass a pass this sweet. #IrevFra #sixnations

irish government to require all pedestrians and cyclists to dress like this so that drivers will maybe look at them

What a wildly stupid idea. Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes. That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

if you're lucky enough to be healthy enough to give blood, consider donating 60 mins in and out in D'Olier St and everybody is just lovely as always. #giveblood

Holy hell, what an obituary

We didn’t forget to make half of making a CSAM image illegal, as the minister is garbling towards suggesting. It’s illegal now. It’s illegal with AI, felt tip pens, quantum computers or chalk. The means of production is irrelevant. The imagery’s production is illegal.

The sauna in Lough Mardal in Donegal is my new happy place, absolutely stunning views and freezing lake dips.

Exorcist silhouette, but waiting for ham

Solstice walk around Carrowkeel megalithic tombs, wild that the lads were knocking around here 5,000 years ago building these.

What if the Tsar of Russia And the King of Prussia Landed in the Phoenix Park In a big Balloon?

Check out that beautiful cycle lane. #ibikedublin #cycling #royalcanal

Take a minute.

Baxter Dury in Vicar Street, some performance, a man absolutely committed to the stage.

Aren't we fierce lucky to have Sligo.

My campaign to have the world’s biggest chocolate bar collection has been given a huge Boost.

Not my art, not AI, Evercam have a pumpkin guy......he's pumpkinsbymark.

"Fianna Fáil maybe decide to run an MEP instead of a MIA. Or a fleet of no-hopers got nominated and we spent the whole campaign having to listen to the media asking candidates their opinions on the Latin mass and if cocaine bloat is a positive feature in a President." www.thegist.ie/the-gist-no-...

I 100% endorse this message. The spoiled votes are a 3rd or 4th order story in this election and disproportionate attention and airtime is a measure of the level of editorial discomfort with talking about Connolly’s success and FF/FG failure.

Proud to call Shannon a friend. So brave to spend 12 years fighting to get justice, crazy that she had to

Pillow Queens. In Waiting, full album live. National Concert Hall. What a gig, could not have been better. #pillowqueens

international journalists asking the french police why they are having a two hour lunch while the thieves are out there and the police explaining the thieves are likely also french so will also be having a two hour lunch

When life imitates art

Niall Donald talking about how Jim Gavin ripped him off included the truest, most Irish statement I’ve ever heard in my life, like this absolutely would be what your friends would say to you in these circumstances

Evercam HQ on CBS Pittsburgh for the Steelers NFL game in Dublin.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Lessons from the local young fellas are going well. #menorca

Wife scared away a pigeon who was eyeing up this lad..... now I'm torn that we're interfering with the natural order of things.

Bought this book because @richycraven.bsky.social was funny on here and it turns out he's funny at writing books too. Highly recommend Spirit Level for a good read.

Local cat Bertie still in the hunt

Finally, last city stretch of the Royal Canal cycle lane is open! #cyclingdublin #royalcanal #aboutbleedintime

Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.

Old friend & lacemaker Fiona Harrington is the artist in residence in 14 Henrietta Street, Dublin Tenement Museum, and her work is gorgeous. www.fionaharrington.com

Finally! Central Dublin section of Royal Canal Greenway confirmed to open in 11 days adding to an emerging 40km network of cycle routes Dublin City Council's central section of the Royal Canal Greenway is to open in under two weeks' time, approximately two months behind schedule. Dublin City…
