If anybody would like a ticket to go see MONO in the Button Factory on Saturday, let me know!

Watched 'The Conversation' tonight - it was excellent! - but took me a second to cop one of the major reveals because the male cast all look like the actual 40-50 year old men that they are

somebody who called to our house was 100% in a fursuit

tonight, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, ghosts can sneak up your bum

Conversely, it's mad how many restaurants/pubs use it to generate a picture of a pint or a burger or whatever for advertising purposes.

'Spooky Season' as a term always struck me as a yank/Twitter creation and I resent its creeping inclusion in Irish advertising copy

Really snuck up on me that 'Fred Again' was big enough to enter the realm of 'co-worker lunch small talk'

Amazing how many strong opinions on video games crystallised in my brain a decade plus ago, despite barely playing them at all since. I think this is called 'getting old'.

Looking for copies of the Gold and Ruby remakes online - my god

🚨 Topical political humour 🚨 First Trump pardoned him and now this!

Weirdly, the default cartoon style makes everything look like Fallout ads. A good omen, surely!

Clicked on a singular Pokemon post on Instagram recently so now all of my suggested posts are from those new Pokemon games and it's made me realise I would really go in for a proper big budget one of those

Generative AI has revolutionised the production of office posters telling you the opening times of the coffee dock, where to put your dirty cutlery etc

Anti-Cork prejudice on show as Corkman not allowed to enjoy the Jazz festival

I freelance with the Sindo and can confirm this is real

The year is 2040. A deceased Jeff Bridges brought to life via AI stars this summer in "Tron: Requiem" scored by The Prodigy. Nobody sees it. The year is 2055. A 3D printed robot Jeff Bridges stars this summer in "Tron: NEXUS" scored by a 10-year old TikToker from Argentina. Nobody sees it.

Watched 'Materialists' on a plane at the weekend and sort of loved how knowingly insane it is

Country's gone

Call me Maria Steen the way I be getting that bag religiously 💯

Don't really think mainstream media, politicians etc are able to parse through all the irony in the new breed of internet brain poisoned shooters

"Just bear in mind guys, your posts might be seen by deranged right-wingers, be careful" - me when my mates are getting hundreds of likes and I can't think of a funny new angle
