Googled "Czechia football any good" and I've come to the conclusion that these lads don't fancy it

So he's all "such a nefarious neologism as the quotative 'like'", and Stan's there "actually it's not nefarious or even a neologism"

Somebody needs to ask the big one: Grok, is Elon funny?

They'll annoy the shit out of everyone just like they did the catholics

Big Jim trying to racism himself all the way to the Taoiseach"s office

Still savoring the afterglow of the football, either night was as good as any of my 80s/90sd childhood memories, let alone the impact of both over a single long weekend. But I don't really remember many tears back then. Whereas this time lads were just bawling all over the place, weren't they?

This is Nazi shit

"Give it a goulash Jack", is that anything?

That's as incredible as anything I've ever seen in football

I don't like this new idea of Ireland being maybe a bit good at football again, it's too stressful

Aw shit man. RIP to one of the greatest

Brady Family Ham was known as Brady's Ham when owned by the Brady family. "Family" was added to the name by the new owners

Ole Ole Ole? I haven't heard that song in years

Bad week for ageing sex offenders

It's never late enough in the game for Ireland to score

"I didn't get out of the house enough, didn't get enough exercise and social interaction. Plus I was drinking too much because I didn't need to get up as early. I just ended up fat and kind of depressed", O'Brien explained

Here's a new thing in my life: I hate "You Make My Dreams (Come True)" by Hall & Oates with a tenacity that borders on fascination

You know what I think the Bond guys will figure something out

This is funny on its own terms but it's also like when a 21-year-old learns some well established fact and posts a thread lecturing the rest of us for not knowing it, often asking "why isn't this taught in schools?" despite it definitely being taught in schools www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-cla...

Any idea proposed by a man wearing a chain of office is a bad idea www.independent.ie/irish-news/o...

Just an endless stream of bad uses of AI, with hardly a significant good use to show for it. I'm betting the money runs out before anyone's able to come up with one.

As an Irish person who was alive in 2008 I can confirm that private businesses only ask sovereign governments to guarantee their financing when business is going really, really well

Thanksgiving dinner is like poker: If you can't spot the racist uncle at the table, you are the racist uncle

Opinion columnists don't have real jobs and therefore have nothing of relevance to say about "the workplace"

Lol fuck's sake

Interesting murder weapon

Imagine watching The News on TV as a kid, thinking "when I grow up I'm going to do that". You go to college, study journalism, then start at the bottom and work your way up. Then one day your employer makes you go national TV and tell the people that two "podcasters" have fallen out

RIP shitposting

Also the onions he was wearing around his neck

The doings and transprirings of the "Royal" families of more backward nations are of no consequence to us citizens of free republics

It is Back to The Future canon that Marty comes from an alternative timeline where 80's kids are still listening to Chuck Berry. Ironically, the film's theme song, "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News would be musically incomprehensible to Marty

Thinking there are "too many" black people on TV is the very definition of gutter racism. There is no debate to be had on the subject. This is the red line at which every half or quarter decent person says "sorry no that's just racist"

A moment that has stayed with me: after the result was announced as gaeilge, and cheered to the rafters by Connolly supporters, the returning officer began "and in English...", eliciting a hearty guffaw, and for a brief moment it was as if anything said in that language was an irrelevant formality

An interesting feature of this infamous cartoon is that all the faces are drawn in similar style, except the Sinn Fein guy who is given the simian features typical of English caricatures of the Irish going back centuries

Let's be practical here, you'd need a referendum to change the nominations process, and nobody has proposed an alternative. So there's zero chance of it happening. Any talk of "looking into it" is post-election blather. It'll all be forgotten by the new year

Here we are, from 11th November, 2011. RTE were showing a documentary recapping the election, which had occurred only a few days before:

Gonna do some digging and see if I can find my tweets from 2011 when I said the political media had disgraced itself by treating the presidential campaign of that year as if its main purpose was to entertain them

This runs to almost a thousand pages; I'm just over 100 pages in and it's only getting started. I think it's going to be awesome

Lol

These are the people we're being lectured about "excluding"

This was actually one the saner spoiled votes I saw

Hearing reports of people spoiling their ballots by writing 800-word op-ed columns about how Ireland needs to have a grown-up debate about joining NATO

Anyone sharing a purported exit poll tonight is spoofing, or has fallen for a spoof

Something tells me - call it a hunch - that if you searched some of the lads outside the IPAS Centres you could probably make arrests on drug charges

If I knew with near certainty that I was destined to lose an election I would simply not raise the stakes in this way

Election day should be a day of hope, a day that proves change is possible. In that spirit I bring you the news that I have not seen, all day, any discourse about whether it's against the law to take a photo of your ballot paper

Not sure if the relentless focus on cocaine is representive of Britain's left or its football culture but either way it can't be good
