Very important to note that when Glenmorangie stares at his reflection longingly he's not contemplating the vast ocean of difference between the cat he sees and the one he feels inside, he is wondering who that cat is and how they got on the balcony.

What finally does it for me might be coming in on a Monday morning to a gentle reminder I forgot to submit last week's timesheet.

What's the Korean for "Y'all trust a lot to the idea that westerners can't understand what you're saying"

What up Gob Squad! Ishaboi Furnace Hemingway joined as always by my co-host Chiefiest Keith and you're listening to the Dog Town Comedy Revival Hour live on KH 101.0 brought to you by Bo-Flex

Hey #DCComics people, genuine question: Is Harley Quinn considered a member of the extended Bat Family now?

A leftwing movement that successfully manages to popularise a theory of deconstruction regarding [Majority National Identity]/Suburban/Middle-Class as a voter identity could see serious results right now. Give people a way to decouple themselves from the opinions of their most obnoxious neighbours.

Shout out to everyone running the Dublin half marathon this morning in their special Fontaines D.C. edition Boh's Jersey - you've earned your pint in Grogan's #speirgorm

Turns out the ghost in the machine was Dion Boucicault's all along

Happy Lesbian Week of Visibility #Speirghorm

Sweetish Mouse Hafiyah

Sheep Detectives is about talking sheep!?

If Clavicular was less focused on his looks and more on being kind to others we could call him Clavuncular

I'm the ten billionth person to post about seeing Akira this weekend, but my friend who couldn't make it asked for a reaction and I realised I had thoughts: boxd.it/e3iLjz

Real darkness has love for a face. The first death is in the heart.

I love seeing birds in the city, man they don't give a fuck!

MFW they tell me to stop playing the Disco Elysium OST on the sound system at work

The entire point of statistics is to turn many number into few number. Instead of looking at 100,000 points, you only have to look at one line, etc. This compression causes permanent moral damage to people when they try to apply it to humans.

They've done it again! There's an ad for The Testaments (Handmaid's Tale Spin Off) where Irish Radio DJ Voice just throws in a few non-sequitur Praise Be's and Blessed Be The Fruit's while Dreams by The Cranberries plays in the background - it's like an unironic version of the MGS4 ads. #SpeirGorm

Spent the weekend Walden-maxxing, going Leaves-of-Grasspunk and getting Ralph Waldo Emerson-pilled

Y'know that much parodied trope where a teenager on the way to school comes downstairs to a sumptuous breakfast feast only to grab a single piece of toast before running out the door? Those scenes were actually mandated to be included by the powerful toast lobby... terrifying to think about...

It might be the sleep deprivation talking but I think I'm close to working out how to do that thing from Wanted (2008) where they bend the bullets. I don't shoot though so I'll just be making sick throws getting trash in the bin.

Breaking my 'No more than one skeet a day' rule to say I'm backing this because it looks dope #Realis

Beat my PB today for rotations around the Sun. Obviously props to my main collaborator in this endeavour: Mother Gaia.

When I play the Initial D soundtrack in front of my 2 year old for the first time and see her start bobbing.

No YOU had to look up an ancient Rock Lee vs Gaara AMV in order to remember the name of the Andrew WK song it was set to.

Crazy that we still have no idea what Akon meant by that last line after all these years

I was gonna post something about being sad the café near my work took the sandwich I like off the menu and the spectre of "Did the journal factory explode" rose unbidden from my subconscious.

A poorly drawn cartoon of John McClane on the menu of a 90s Italian restaurant: "Welcome to the Pizza Pal"

The culturally centralising effect of many Irish households being restricted to 4 terrestrial channels up through the early 2000s means that for a certain vintage of Irish person the song below is indelibly linked to Bulmers Cider. It remains, however, a banger #speirgorm

Might rewatch Premium Rush tonight... more on this story as it develops...

Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

We don't do the right thing because we think it will make the bad guys change, we do the right thing so the bad guys don't make us change.

Surely one genuinely useful application of machine learning would be to ensure that when listening to a music streaming service the tracks don't all feel like they've been mastered at wildly different levels? I am so tired of having to ride the volume level to avoid blowing out my eardrums.

Conceiving elaborate Saw style traps but instead of having to reckon with their past sins, the victims just have to listen to Lovefool by The Cardigans and admit it still slaps.

Cop 1: Shootout at a Drag Night in Chelsea last night. Cop 2: Any casualties? Cop 1:

Cats supposedly have 276 facial expressions, this one means 'Hey idiot! Go the f*ck to sleep!'

Wuthering Heights is good for the world because more women directors should be allowed make little freak movies. It's not a good movie, but first person through the wall always gets their nose bloody.

We’re kicking off the final week of the festival with this stellar lineup of shows: smockalley.com/scene-heard-...

Clearly I was not built for posting! 😝 On the plus side Solitary Confinement had its first performance last night as part of @sceneandheard.bsky.social . I couldn't be more proud of this incredible team. Our second and final performance is tonight at 8pm! #theatresky #speirgorm

I haven't read ahead in the manga do you think this will make it into #JJK Season 3?

The current X/Grok omnishambles really does throw this into stark relief.

I'm directing a short play for a festival of new work in February. It's my first time directing anything in about a decade. We kicked off tonight with a read through. I may use this space to chronicle the journey so apologies if I don't provide my usual quota of dumb jokes. #speirgorm #theatresky

The more I look at it the more I like this photo I took coming home over the Eastlink yesterday. Let this be my 2026 vibe. #speirgorm

The 30 year old equivalent of everyone passing around the same 20 euro is everyone re-gifting the same bottle of wine.

Ever have a moment where your brain just goes Noir: It was December 29th. I was looking for frozen perogis in the Eurasia supermarket on Talbot Street. The in-store PA was blaring Evanescence and t.A.T.u and I couldn't help but feel something strange was just around the corner.

I think the internet is at its best when it's an idle fancy machine. We should be making it better at answering questions like "What's Bobby Carnavle up to these days?" and less good at inducing mass psychosis.

The upside of brands having not adopted Bluesky en masse is that it's not fill to bursting LCD engagement bait. The downside is I can no longer post "@cadbury: which clown decided to take the little card out of the box of Roses!?" with the expectation that some clown at Cadbury will have to read it
