Bob Odenkirk doing a Hemingway baby shoes short story in the Criterion Closet

Me to Dublin City Council every time they try to “improve the aesthetic of the city”

"I remember smoking in the 90s. It was divine" "Im my 20s, smoking was sexy." GIRL, SHUT UP. Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP. First off, you smelled like ashtrays. It was gross. And forced people serving you/around you to inhale your disgusting smoke, too.

Never ceases to amaze me that in the post-conspiracy era people will still openly advocate for smoking. It’s the most pathetic libertarian shit to make your cause. We proved it’s bad, we proved it kills you in many painful ways and we proved the corporations lied about it for decades. Grow up like

This story relevant again as I’m watching the movie Green Card starring another one of my major crushes, Bebe Neuwirth

Well Joe, let me tell ya what the innovative paedophiles over on X the Everything App are up to

There’s a profound smug satisfaction when after a post gets a bunch of likes people start liking a few of your other posts Like “yeah exactly i have MANY witty and intelligent thoughts”

“King Charles quotes the great, ‘you-know-he’s-one-of-THOSE-ones’ Irish writer Oscar Wilde”

In Ireland, we don’t say “I love you”, we say “Mo ghrá go deo” which means “I will love you for as long as it takes them to finish building the Children’s Hospital” and i think that’s beautiful

Starting every future email with “Yourself there, take good note” and any requests with “There’ll be no exceptions made, no sob stories listened to and no slack given at all not one bit”

I once told a friend of a friend over pints that Missy Peregrym in this movie was one of my first crushes and she looked at me funny and asked me for some of my other ones. When I finished the list she said “that is legitimately the same list of first crushes as every lesbian i know”

Pet Sounds: one of the great works of art of the 20th century. A genuine masterpiece of production and arrangement Every other Beach Boys album: 50% beautiful music and 50% songs about vegetables, trains and women going bald

There are few actors who I’d be more behind starting a massive campaign to get him a late in life Oscar

EVERY day

Truly a low moment for any poster is watching someone else get kudos for a less-funny version of something you posted 5 months ago

Having seen him for the second time last night, Mulaney really has mastered the art of warming up a Dublin crowd with jokes at the expense of Éamonn de Valera

Is there any greater challenge than having to keep your brain awake for a Monday evening event

A good microcosm of how this country is run is that our school (privately built as most) has to replace its whole roof because the original one was screwed on and all of the screws have rusted and we have 100+ leaks and now we’re applying for govt grants that we almost certainly won’t receive

How has no one ever run a marathon in under 2 hours before. Get the lead out for fuck’s sake, have ya nought else to be doing

Walked past an angry-looking woman pushing her baby in a stroller with (presumably) her husband walking alongside her and as they passed I could hear him say “It wasn’t meant as an insult” and now I NEED to know what that man said to ruin his family’s Sunday

My political cause “No Correspondence At Dinner” has indeed taken a bit of a reputational hit this morning

*me, stubbing my toe on a door frame this morning* “This is EXACTLY why we need a ballroom”

Every time I see these fucking things I have to post one of my favourites

Knowing nothing else about this man than he’s a puppeteer for Broadway and looks like this I can confidently say he’s fucked more people than I’ve ever met in my entire life

Did a Creative Writing workshop today with mostly aspiring novelists, short fiction writers and poets and when i said i was a screenwriter one of the novelists giggled and the session leader said “Oh….thats nice”

Daniel Radcliffe has only played a deranged and effusive billionaire twice but he’s really good at it and i know he’s big on winning Tonys and shit now but i would like him to do this more often

When you have a moment of realisation in the seminary

Officially able to vote in the Seanad elections. Mullen and McDowell:

Well, in more positive news, every man you know who has overtaken on a blind corner in his Merc is absolutely irate about these Ryder Cup ticket prices

Stick around film fans. A pretty deadly collection of merch designed by artist Luke Doyle, coming this Friday. Coming soon to a laptop/phone/water bottle/lamp post near you…

*on the phone with the father on way to work* “Did ya ever end up going to that space one? Project Our Father or whatever?”

the best part of any game is being constantly reincarnated until you are a version of yourself who isn’t a failure

It is shortsighted to say this release is exciting purely for anti-corporatisation of art reasons. It’s also vindication for those of us who believe Wile E. Coyote, a humble canine ensnared by his predator instincts, has too long been the butt of the joke of the elitist “Roadrunner”

I personally am very dismayed about being blocked by one of our great AI-loving Bluesky overlords. How am I supposed to compliment him on his system’s great work at repelling the Iranian cyberattack

Kept seeing pictures of that creepy Palantir wanker on here and priginally thought “god taika waititi is exuding DREADFUL vibes these days”

Jacob Elordi is just three regular sized Australian men in a suit

If a person is introduced to you as a “nightclub owner and landlord” it should be 100% legal to ____________

Some of us have more heightened census than others

Crazy that we have some sort of machine that can move faster than a human being now

Shout out to the lads who walk into a gents and try to assert dominance by yawning overly loudly or give a pep talk like you’re captain of the jacks. This won’t fix your problems but I’m glad you’re trying

There’s a phenomenon of “X person sucks so much that it makes me feel better about how good I am at my job” but there’s a level below that where Patrick O’Donovan is operating where it just makes me despair that anyone is that bad at anything. Seventh circle of hell levels of incompetence

I like Charli XCX but it’s very funny for her to announce dancefloors are dead the same weekend as a new Jessie Ware album.

INT. HEAVEN RECORD STORE - DAY DJ: What are we spinning today guys? George Harrison: John Lennon has a lovely song called “God”. John: Oh no, I- DJ: Let’s go! Stereo: “I don’t believe in Hitler” *Jesus nods approvingly* Stereo: “I don’t believe in Jesus” Jesus: Hey man, what the fuck

She wasn’t interested in me, Paleguy Deunstable

Sometimes I’ll see a random assortment of items and think about the MacGyver guy who assassinated Shinzo Abe

Every now and then the Yanks rediscover @bigdirtyfry.bsky.social Granddad videos and I’m forced to confront the fact that it may be Donegal’s greatest contribution to culture

The attacks against IPAS centres follow the grand tradition of burning out council houses promised to settled Traveller families, itself inherited from landlord agents burning out tenants. Even amongst a depressing contingent of “anti-racists” anti-Traveller racism is not only tolerated but du jour

I've lived in Northern Ireland all my life and I have heard stupid shit you wouldn't believe about religion. The dumbest stuff from people who think dinosaurs lived 6,000 years ago. Never heard anyone say 'the Pope doesn't represent the Catholic Church'

Good representation of what has happened to this app
