Little bar with a one man band- perfect Friday night

As the sun sets on Good Friday, we watch the rising of the moon over Roger Casement, and think of the freedom of our country. Beannachtaí na Cásca oraibh!

Ghost of Jimmy Carter is stirring

Damn you to hell, Canada! #NorthAmerica

An alternative retelling of the story of Easter that follows Barabbas having the best weekend of his life

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

The U. of Washington stripped its Director of Middle East Studies of his position for writing an email that said “Israeli actions tell us that they seek the destruction of the state, not just its ruling class” and that Iran had not been pursuing nuclear weapons. In other words, for stating facts.

Happy Easter

Met old friend from Dublin during week and remembered time on the Dart from Dun Laoghaire yrs ago -cruelly hungover. Driver announcement in broad Dub accent: "morning folks, works at Sandymount so no stopping there.." He forgot to turn mic off: ".....Aaaaah moi, Moi MOI - DELILAAAAH"

may you live in interesting times

Heard some headbanger raving about 'Sharia Law in Ireland!" last week- that's in a country where you can't get people to keep to traffic lights.

God blasht ye, America, for making me side with Michael O'Feckingleary #TrumpsWar

Yeah, I'd say this has shot to the top of their list of concerns...

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

High-speed rail in #China in 2007: 0 kilometers High-speed rail in China in 2026: 50,400 kms High-speed rail in China in 2030 (projected): 60,000 kms On routes where it competes directly with planes, HSR has led to a 28.2 % reduction in air passenger volume.

I love the traditional fittings you sometimes find on the London Underground, they're like stepping back 100 years to a different life.

Revenge is a dish best (soft) served cold.

For folks who don't follow Canadian politics: The NDP just elected a JEWISH leader who believes Palestinians are human beings with equal rights to Jews So obviously he's an antisemite 🤡

Everest guides accused of poisoning foreign climbers to force fake rescues in $20m scam trib.al/ouspcXn

The Netherlands just launched a platform in the middle of the North Sea that converts wind electricity into green hydrogen fuel without the electricity ever touching land. The NortH2 offshore hydrogen platform sits 200 kilometers off the Dutch coast, directly connected by underwater power cables.

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

Apart from everything else - why are they so consistently stupid ?

I will be forever in awe of this exchange

Normally - 9 year olds would ne totally focused on #ArtemisII - but mine keeps asking me about #TrumpsWar and food shortages. Have had to turn the radio in our kitchen off.

If the stakes weren’t so high, the contortions of these idiots would be hilarious.

moon's haunted.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

Me, a dumbo: Why do people put perfectly good couches in the garbage? Why not give them away for free? Me, learning my lesson: No, I can't deliver it. No, I won't hold it for 2 weeks. No, you can't come by between 2am and 3am. No, a dog did sit on it once. No, I do not have it in any other colors.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

This is what social media is meant to be about.

Fascinating @markyarm.bsky.social interview with Apple's third co-founder, Ronald Wayne. Who, uh, seems to be a little lost. www.pcmag.com/articles/app...

We are ruled by morons and it makes me want to light my law degree on fire

US Supreme Court is hearing #birthrightcitizenship arguments - fun fact - it was only in 1896, decades after the 14th Amendment was passed - that courts extended it to all US-born - EXCEPT the children of a) foreign invaders or occupiers b) Native Americans (not until 1924)

Lamb kaboom

I've read the speech. There are no concrete proposals for closer economic or security cooperation.

beautiful

This is very, very funny about the efforts of one...er...eccentric amateur Irish historian to stand up for Oliver Cromwell - especially the bit about the duel

A children's cartoon depicts him being chased by wolves off a cliff to his death. It's a happy ending

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

This is pretty funny - brave lady outsmarts far right grifter - who calls the police and then ....

Britain sending King Chuck to kiss ass in the White House - after Donnie has spent months insulting their armed forces and threatening them, is actually pretty hilarious. Taking back control!

Now THIS is a war to get behind. #EU #RejoinEU #Brexit

It’s the dog for me

12 hours ago he was taking his ball home and telling the rest of the world to sort it out. When can we stop paying attention to this Mook?

I literally had to go to a different continent to get a ADHD diagnosis

This keeps happening and it keeps making this place worse (not least because people with real expertise stop posting here because of it). There is also a fairly dire tendency for people involved to double down rather than admit causing / contributing to a pile on in error. Sigh.

My Wang? Chunged.
