I have a favour to ask. If you use the old Facebook, would you give the Dromore Book Festival page a like/follow and invite your friends to do the same? The algorithm over there is very strange, so the more people on board, the better! Thank you xx www.facebook.com/share/1GLw82...

Spring is here! Oh, spring is here. Life is skittles and life is beer. I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring. I do! Don’t you? Course you do!

the fuckers got what they deserved

The guy who told Americans that injecting bleach into our bodies may cure Covid is now offering to help Greenlanders with their medical care.

Gotta love how Americans treat the c-word like it's the absolute worst curse, and should only be used in extreme circumstances. Meanwhile, my credit card wouldn't work in the shop today and the lady behind the till assured me that the machine has been "acting the cunt all day".

thats some bleak shit!

I'm resurrecting an old free feature on the patreon - SOVIET MOVIE NIGHT, wherein we talk about (and watch) the best in Soviet Cinema. This installment is "BLUE MOUNTAINS", a soft-spoken, adorable 1983 social satire from Soviet Georgia www.patreon.com/posts/soviet...

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

BTW - there's hundreds of Mosfilm movies on YouTube free to watch in good quality - his - Dersu Uzala - dir Akira Kurosawa - is just mind-blowing.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

The Tans, ICE, Substandard Hams. This tune has always been on the right side of history.

It seems this one does... bsky.app/profile/tjhl...

My grown children always tease me that porridge made with water is my favourite food because it's all they saw me eat. I hate porridge. I only ate it because it was 50p for a bag and I didn't want to let them know we were poor as shit. The 'proper food' was for them

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

The POS who did this had 25 previous convictions and winked and smiled as he was sentenced. Our justice system fails victims every day

i miss the old ways americans used to be weird about greenland, like getting iced in on ships off its coast trying to find the north pole. or inventing a fictional continent north of it for book sales. or getting poisoned by their crew for being a maniac and everyone fucks off back to greenland

A joke for the history buffs.

46 years ago "Dark Entries" is a song by the English goth punk rock band Bauhaus, released as a stand-alone single in January 1980 #punk #postpunk #gothpunkrock #bauhaus #darkentries #history #punkrockhistory

Maybe he was mad because he wasn’t getting full credit as a pedophile

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Because it's not always gloom and doom. Just mostly.

Rest in Peace Anne, you magnificent soul.

He’s laying the groundwork to claim “fraud,” something that is statistically rare, so he can justify manipulating or overturning elections. This is how democratic systems get dismantled. This is fascism, happening in real time.

Power is out in parts of Cork. i suspect an EMP pulse and am looking for black helicopyers, hust in case!

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Ronan Keating is all the end of 2025 deserves.

Happy tenth anniversary to photographer Joel Goodman’s classic image which by rights should be hanging in the Louvre.

I’m not buying MTG’s repentance shtick but I’ll happily take the dirt she’s dishing in hopes we’ll buy it.

“Violence is a part of America’s culture,” the Black Power militant H. Rap Brown once said. ”It is as American as cherry pie.” Another equally American tradition is looking away from the problem when it comes from the Right.

I used to think they were all nuts when they’d carry on non-stop about deep state cabals, powerful pedophile rings and highly connected sex traffickers. It turns out they knew exactly what they were talking about. They were talking about themselves.

Absolute force of nature. Old school drag at its stupidly brilliant best. Non stop for ten minutes. And Parky and Babs knew well enough to just get out of her way! (all the UK "gender critical" weirdos who grew up with Lilly in their living rooms now trying to pretend drag queens are a danger 🙄)

A WORD (two words) FOR MY HATERS. Watch #NightThoughts on Hulu.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Of course they're not dismantling these networks — that's insane…Until you figure out how to stop Americans from being willing to put their hard earned money down for cocaine or for fentanyl, these networks will exist to service that demand."
