Small boy in totally A+ green outfit, at the Spanish court in the 1560s. By Sofonisba Anguissola, whose day is today.

Apropos of nothing, gonna share this old Tig Notaro tweet.

"Ya just can't stop digging yourself into a hole...'

Somebody in Cork REALLY loves Chrisrmas

This lad. (Troy Parrott, inner-city Dubliner, only in the team because Evan Ferguson is injured, scores two on Thursday to beat Portugal, says it's the best night of his life. Today he gets three to beat Hungary and put us through to the World Cup playoffs. Last-minute winner too. INCREDIBLE.)

Ha! Shove it up yer arse, Viktor Orbán! #IrelandvsHungary

Ah yes, simpler times ...

The golden age of diversity and democracy in Oz.

U might think the Catholic church would want to sit this one out....

Incredible story! And before anyone comments... N.b. the mini data centre in question is *not* running AI. "they swapped their gas boiler for a HeatHub – a small data centre containing more than 500 computers." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Maybe if we tried actually collecting the fines ? Call me crazy, like....

From @ericidle.bsky.social & Neil Innes' brilliant & criminally overlooked/unavailable RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION, here's a truncated glimpse of George Harrison's Christmas 1975 guest appearance runner, where he didn't want to perform a song - He really just wanted to play a pirate...

Josef Sudek  was a Czech photographer. Originally a bookbinder, Sudek was badly injured during action by the Hungarian Army on the Italian Front of World War I in 1916. Although he had no experience with photography and was one-handed due to his amputation. Remarkable.

I think you could be forgiven for naively thinking that eugenics beliefs and being a paedophile are unrelated so be surprised that one chap had both vices. But I do think there is some inner link due to a shared preference for natural hierarchy. "It should be enforced, and when enforced exploited."

Just as he was advising Epstein, Bannon was advising Johnson on how to topple May “Today we are going to see if Boris Johnson tries to overthrow the British government. He’s going to give a speech in the Commons.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

On the subject of "illegal" immigration: I had this email from my cousin today. I also cannot imagine just casually going out the night before doing something so terrifying. It was their second attempt.

Everything’s coming up Mulhouse

Dershowitz is in a real bind here, because on the one hand, “Epstein was good, actually” isn’t a winning position. On the other hand, if Dershowitz doesn’t go on TV at least once a week, he will literally die, so 🤷‍♂️

This is a great idea from the Rev of Cork's iconic St Anne's - Henchy's pub is almost as iconic as well - Pastoral Pints.

russia is out of men. How out? Border guards at russian-Estonian border are now dummies. Все ушли на фронт!= everyones at war

Ah yes, the 'Special Relationship' - who needs Europe!?

Winds still gusting to up to 90kmh near Holyhead and latest update from passengers is that it will be at least 4am before Holyhead port opens again. A long night ahead for those on ferries.

Was that so difficult?

Nice job senate republicans you fucking clowns

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

Watching #TOTP from the 1970s - i like to see what the acts look like today - in the case of Darts - its 'vaguely terrifying'

Boney M's Belfast - one of the few EuroDisco bangers about The Troubles. Don't do drugs, kids! #TOTP

Its been raining non-stop in Cork for a week - might as well develop gills at this stage, mutate now and avoid the rush ... #StormClaudia

My mum has been making needle felted mice for a few years and enjoys challenging herself with new themes and ideas. She's just set up her first exhibition at the stately home she volunteers at, with a family of period mice. Incredible.

take a moment, close your eyes, inhale deeply, exhale, and then imagine hearing "livvy" in RFK jr's voice

Coming up with @mattcooperlastword.bsky.social on Today FM - MOI! Talking some stories of the week - shouting at seagulls, novelty biscuits and - finally! - the benefits of teenage drinking!

In retrospect, “everyone gets a printing press” was a mistake.

spot on

Biggest news for the place since it lost its amateur status ...

Just saw a 'coffee cake' and was instantly transported back to very early childhood and the strange, disturbing taste of 'Irel Coffee Essence' - a bizarre staple of every Nan's kitchen cupboard ...

'Suspects are intriguing, repeat INTRIGUING!"

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school. And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this. This is not a serious society.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED THE HUMANITIES IN SCHOOL

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax
