Some beautifully written sad news here…..👇 golf.com/news/sports-illustrated-abandonment-golf-coverage/

I switched many months ago and never regretted it. DDG does offer AI, but it's extremely simple to turn off completely.

For some strange reason I'm watching the start of the daftly superb POINT BREAK again. And I am reminded, also again, that Keanu Reeves is unquestionably the most untalented actor to make it big. Like, after all these years, it's still hard to watch the guy. You feel embarrassed for him.

And yet, there is still joy in the world.

Richie Sadlier quietly and calmly explains why it will be obscene and humiliating for Ireland to play Israel at football in Dublin. “Their flag will be on that pole over there. Their fans will be in those seats.”

This article never mentions Ireland. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/m...

I could not love @edzitron.com’s latest newsletter edition more. We should shout this from the rooftops. www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-...

They just can't stop persecuting the poor Jesuits.

Why can't Barry Lenihan use verbs? @news.rte.ie

Robert Hughes' almost 20-year-old series on American art, AMERICAN VISIONS, starts on BBC FOUR this evening. Really worth a watch.

God, I'd love to see this but simply can't make it.

I am oddly chuffed that the YouTube algorithm is now regularly offering me AI tai chi workouts for old guys - in Italian.

Israel has killed more than 120 rescue workers, damaged 16 hospitals, and targeted over 130 ambulances in Lebanon since March 2nd

Brilliant

[15] Kernoff advocated modernism at a time when much Irish art was conservative & provincial. He was unique in being based in Ireland & innovative. Up the Workers Republic Ireland (nd), Flann O’Brien (nd) & Emergency Hat, Self Portrait (1941)

"President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr" isn't a phrase I ever expected to see.

Just killed the largest spider I've ever seen in my house. Or in any house.

I'm sorry. I've tried - honestly honestly tried. But I can NOT listen to Shane Ó Curraighín. And it's not the slight lisp. It's the tone. And the delivery.

Of course it's cancelled. Who would want to go into town on Sunday evening? @dublinbusnews.bsky.social

@josefoshea.bsky.social Joe, what's the best pub in Cork (city) for a trad session? Thanking you in advance.

Uragh Stone Circle • Beara Peninsula • Kerry Set on a prominent knoll overlooking Lough Inchiquin on the beautiful Beara Peninsula in County Kerry, Uragh Stone Circle has perhaps the most evocative and beautiful setting of any of Ireland’s stone circles. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #Archaeology 🏺

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I absolutely can not stand Shaun Murphy and his sour smug puss.

The Taoiseach wants consideration of nuclear. I made a programme that did that. Long story short: an Irish nuclear power plant wouldn’t generate any electricity until 2066 at the very earliest. Link at end of thread.

RTÉ's Come to Your Census was simply superb. For lots of reasons it's a subject that fascinates me, but even the way it's edited/presented works perfectly. (And I used to live right beside where Mick Lynch's father was a child.) #CometoYourCensus

I have just learned that Stanislaus Joyce died on Bloomsday, 1955.

If you see this, post a Bird

Explore our online exhibition Power & Privilege: The Big House in Ireland https://ow.ly/x4sj50YQWJu Ireland’s Big Houses were 18–19th century landlord estates, once central to rural life. Photos capture a peaceful world—but by the 1920s land reforms and economic hardship brought this era to an end.

There are not one, but TWO names in the byline - and yet neither of the writers bothers to tell us the name of the pub where the fire started. #lazy @irishtimes.com www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Last time they were there they burned the place down. Now, there's an idea.

In swift coup d’etat this morning British Army secures a peaceful transfer of power back to monarchy. King Charles pledges to restore constitutional government. Americans 🤷‍♂️

Unpopular opinion: The Ginger Man is rubbish.

Only just came across this. Really fine. Was one of my favs in my early teens. It was my sister's album. I was lucky - my one sibling was an older sister with good taste, and my mother was into jazz and a bit of classical. My childhood was full of great music. youtu.be/bXDcPoeIx-E?...

Not that any of you care, but after seven episodes I have fully bought in to #ROOSTER. I was intrigued at first, then I liked it, now I'm looking forward to the next installment.
