how is Ariana Grande in a new Meet the Fockers movie I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality

You were flush with options, all the same

Excellent take. Read his so-called "comedy" plays years ago, not a single sight gag.

You don't realise how far you've moved the giant rock until you look backwards to where you came from. And you'll feel alone and tired and scared, but one day, the rock will tip over and suddenly it's much easier to roll, and there's others rolling with you.

Can't stop thinking about #CMAT, the people's princess, talking about how we can all effect change if we just keep pushing. It's a message we all need to hear sometimes. It can feel like you're pushing against something immovable, but you don't realise the inches you actually are moving it by.

I'd three different accents that'd manifest in line with where I was standing, or there'd be bateings

Piercing in the "wrong" ear (10 years old); having a relatively neutral accent (11-12); crossing one's legs (12); wanting to hang out with/be friends with a girl before lobbing the gob (13). Ridiculous positions that the masses had still internalised in late '90s-early aughts. #spéirghorm #ireland

Panderer going to pander with that headline 🤦🏾‍♀️ I don’t understand people trying to dim the light & quench the JOY of #Pride in Ireland. So many of us lived in fear growing up in the hell of 80s & 90s. Even today ‘coming out’ is challenging. Has anyone free access to the article? #spéirghorm

Pressure can have its effects

The slowest of slow learners. Political London DGAF about Northern Ireland. Never did, never will.

The thing to remember here, is that not only are UUP, DUP, etc struggling against the tides of public opinion; they're also flapping their arms and screaming very loudly in the hopes that the buff, tanned lifeguard Great Britain will suddenly sprint handsomely to their rescue. #spéirghorm #ireland

How come it's This Dude that gets brought to the front of the op-ed line, space in the print masthead, etc? Corporate media needs to wean off business short-termism - and begin repairing generational reputational damage - yesterday. #spéirghorm #ireland

Rushing past the will of the people, and right into the queue for the US military-industrial complex. Meanwhile, adding services to the OTB would be "impractical", and "against economic advice". Running with the hare; hunting with the hound. #spéirghorm #ireland

Much as I love Irish now, my progress was hindered in secondary school by a middle-aged dude whose repressed anger stained his entire body a permanent pale rose; and a lady whose whole energy was a Bean an Tí cruelly cast out of time and place by indifferent fate. #spéirghorm #ireland

A generational act of self-humiliation in a career rich in such acts; all in a race to come off as the smartest, correct-est, and most special-est boy in town, to curry the individual favours of the worst kinds of folks you've ever met. #spéirghorm #ireland

Beach archaeology

I was wondering if dua lipa ever did lea ypi on her bookclub. google ai tells me yes and the source is a link to a talk aaron bastani did with ypi; butterfly meme with LLM asking if aaron bastani is dua lipa

This is the kind of slop that results from consuming too many American podcasts and British op-eds and forgetting that not only are there lots of nuns, but women a few generations back routinely covered their hair.

Not gullibility. Malice. #spéirghorm #ireland

Gript is Ireland's answer to nothing, actually, because nobody asked for it. #spéirghorm #ireland

When even someone as confident and talented as CMAT is affected by the level of body-shaming vitriol aimed at her, what hope do the rest of us have. Body positivity is worthwhile, but it can only go so far when society still treats commenting on people's bodies as acceptable. We've so, so far to go.

European alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft Office launches on 9 June: free, open source and online, using existing building blocks. An important step in freeing ourselves from US control. www.zdnet.com/article/euro...

Gript has long been a clickbait/engagement/data mine wrapped in a punchline. It is an affront to anyone who has ever even attempted honest journalism, and I will allow myself to be a gigantic hater as it hits the rocks and metric tonnes of clown shoes bleed forth from its hull #spéirghorm #ireland

Is the print edition still a thing? Just want to see a redtop called CRIME WORLD, tbh #spéirghorm #ireland

We should dispatch him to the various industries whose private-market ideologues are seizing the rest of society up. Wreck up the big-wigs, nationalise their operations, make more public jobs in rebuilding and maintaining them. [For legal purposes, this is satire.] #spéirghorm #ireland

"Imagine being an 11 year old boy being told rape is wrong." Yeah wow that must be awful. I'm glad I was just an 11 year old girl being told my sexual availability was my only worth.

Ireland coach Heimir Halgrimsson and some players feel it's unfair that they are being asked by media about the upcoming games against Israel. Just a reminder that Israel has killed more than 400 Palestinian footballers in the ongoing genocide. I'm really sorry you find that inconvenient.

I have a mild life-long disability that impairs mobility and function. Most able bodied people are ignorant of disability. All I will say is this - some day, this could be you. Also, if you're on a bus / train & don't get up for a person with a disability on sight or when asked - you're a c*nt.

Which I can accept they'll do to a certain point; but am baffled by how [even in electoral kayfabe] the Labour Party - founded by revolutionary socialists to represent workers - expects to grow in the long-term unless it apologises for nuking its own people to save capitalism. #spéirghorm #ireland

In the realms of #videogames soundtracks, a reminder that the team from @crtsoundsystem.bsky.social had me on for a recent episode, talking about Ridge Racer Type 4's incredible sonic selections. rss.com/podcasts/crt... #spéirghorm #ireland #music #vgm #podcasts

Hello all! It's been a busy time in my life, so I'm posting about stuff I've been involved with lately. Thread begins here. Me and my pal @ailsy.bsky.social cowrote a guide to ADHD in Ireland, which is in all good bookshops now! www.irishacademicpress.ie/product/have... #spéirghorm #ireland #adhd

Watching Mícheál Martin squirm at Leader's Questions when pressed on services in the OTB. Unfit to lead our country. #spéirghorm #ireland

For nearly 10 years we've heard accusations that Trump has been bought by Russia. True or not, he at least denies it. Micheál Martin is telling us directly via the national broadcaster that our government has been bought by the United States. They are acting in the interest of the United States.

Proscription.

The fear is the point. The ISD are among the people holding Gript's operators and puppeteers to account; Gript are being particularly dishonest with this particular move, especially in light of the Press Council inexplicably granting *them* membership. #spéirghorm #ireland #media

The craven government exposes its cowardice. Excludes services. www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...
