"Prof Crimmins said that "nearly half" of the hospital's ICU beds are currently used by children who have sustained head injuries from e-scooter accidents."

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

They say men have trouble expressing their feelings. Yet we all speak fluent Messi (Don’t let the headline put you off.) www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer...

Me and the fellas are holing up in the boozah to compile our definitive list of the Top 10 Presidencies of the EEC/EC/EU

Thank you Google maps for protecting the cow's privacy

Seagull with a baguette I know, I know, it’s serious…

Been thinking a lot about Ciara Mageean and it pushed me to write this personal essay on life, loss, illness, grief and survivors' guilt. theblackpoolsentinel.com/2026/06/30/9...

really loved his work on the gruffalo. baffled by this pivot

Me and my friends would kill the delivery robots with hammers, I can tell you that much.

A moon rise from the Dollymount Dunes June’s Strawberry moon looks like it will stay behind the clouds this evening. Glad to have captured it from Dollymount yesterday. Here is another photo of it from the dunes as it climbed up behind Réalt na Mara, Our Lady, Star of the Sea.

There’s absolutely cracking tennis on and I’m only half paying attention because I can’t find something that was on the internet 12 years ago

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ah Penelope Keith. What an absolute queen

Odyssesus's dad wants to chat Routes (This one is a print and I have four copies left of in the edition before it's sold out, ie never to be printed again! Shop link in my bio 👆) #odyssey

The Cure had just played Hot Hot Hot!!! and it was very funky. He said “ghost of Chic” 😁

Happy Goth Christmas to all who celebrate!

Anti-semitism is absolutely a real thing and as a Jew I am deeply nervous about the worst faith people in public life working relentlessly to rob the concept of all gravity by making it synonymous with "anyone not fully supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu and everything he does."

Graphic design is my passion.

Last month I was in London and downloaded the TFL app and never removed it. It has push notifications. This means I am more up to speed about London transport problems than anything where I live and work

And on that note I've just received word that Unite the Union in Ireland has passed a motion supporting sex worker decriminalisation ✊ #speirghorm

U.K. Weighs Social Media Ban Of Everyone Except Old Men Who Grow Big Vegetables https://theonion.com/u-k-weighs-social-media-ban-of-everyone-except-old-men-who-grow-big-vegetables/

still chuckle at the former colleague who chirpily said, just after the 2016 local elections, "it's been nonstop politics since the independence referendum two years ago… mad to think that there's just the EU ref and the US election and then it'll basically be nothing until 2020"

An intriguing poll result from the Journal on “Are you for or against drone deliveries in your area?” With a ‘For’ vote count far larger than the sort of numbers their polls usually generate. For some reason.

Public Service Announcement: The Cure live at the Isle Of Wight festival on Sky Arts tonight at 9pm, for a couple of hours:

I have so many photos of James Gandolfini that my phone thinks he's my dad

I smacked my head yesterday and now I don’t know if I have a hangover or concussion. I am a quare variety of eejit

Good luck to everyone trying to convince everyone that opposition to the drones was anything other than people being really fucking annoyed by something that was really fucking annoying

I cannot believe this ruse from Richard Nixon worked. This is like something I’d do to play my kids off against each other to persuade them to leave the house

It’s Bloomsday, the day on which the events of Joyce's Ulysses take place I recommend Anthony Cronin’s Arena documentary “Three Irish Writers” about the work of Flann O’Brien,Patrick Cavanagh & Brendan Behan. It also has film of the 1st Bloomsday celebration. It’s a gem. youtu.be/PfNozMdMr3Q?...

People saying the three-day waiting period has been removed when all that’s happened is that the process has started. I get folks wanting to acknowledge this but it’s going to take months and months and there are women and girls who are going to get a nasty fright when they visit the doctor

Good friend

It didn’t. It passed an early stage and has lots more stages to go. Jesus wept

gotta be the best scam text I’ve received this year

A generation of children confined to exclusively posting on LinkedIn, humbled to share that they have been recognised as thought leaders in vertically integrating your mom's supply chain.

The suffragettes are second only to Nelson Mandela, in terms of people who have had their violent revolutionary pasts whitewashed by milquetoast liberals, who want to argue against any type of effective protest activism.

Palestine Action is not like the suffragettes, it’s true. Because one suffragette threw a hatchet at the prime minister, while another bombed the chancellor’s house.

Trying to finish Ulysses. Distracted by public transport infrastructure the still doesn’t exist over a century later

FYI Polymarket offering great odds I can finish Ulysses before tomorrow

I hope Hull History Centre won't mind me sharing this lovely letter from Roy Hattersley's papers, on the sad news of his passing aged 93. RIP.

I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging but I bought a small watermelon earlier and nearly didn’t buy it because I didn’t think I’d be able to cut it open but I did buy it and I cut it open and *very Gonzo in A Christmas Carol voice* I did not cut myself. Yet anyway

The PSNI are running ads now suggesting you get a hobby instead of doing riots. God bless.

We all know this is bollocks but genuinely wondering what age we need to start doing this at the other end? Do we need to start cutting off men’s internet access at mid-40s?

This is Glen Kane who played a part in kicking a catholic man to death and is trying to rehabilitate himself by attaching himself to the anti immigration crowd.
