Spain has the opportunity to do the funniest thing and close the Strait of Gibraltar.

If I lived in London I would go to this concert featuring superstars of the Irish weirdo music scene. www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/nyahh...

Martian leader shortly before the events of War Of The Worlds:

Mrs Chippy the Magnificent!

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.

The least these articles can do is acknowledge that they just sound like Ween

I went to the cinema the other day and saw some new Amazon-related iteration of the MGM lion beforehand... except the lion now looks suspiciously like an AI lion rather than a real lion.

It annoys me that Bollywood films get shown on Dublin screens but none of our film critics bother their arse to review them.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

Viktor Orban? More like Loser Orban amirite?

Farewell Asha Bhosle. This isn't her in the video, but it is her on the soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUFi...

Remember when Yvette Cooper was going on about how she was always hanging the George's Cross flag all over her house?

Protests against high fuel prices on Dublin's O'Connell Street. There are tractors. And flags. And signs. And flags. flic.kr/s/aHBqjCQDNv #Dublin #FuelProtests #IrishFuelProtests #OConnellStreet

Does anyone know how many people are involved in the fuel protests? There aren't that many vehicles blocking O'Connell Street in Dublin... they're just very big.

I saw a film this afternoon that ended with everyone in the world instantly dying. My first thought was "But what will happen to all their pets?"

I’ll never forget listening to The Case of Charles Dexter Ward on my way home on New Year’s Day 2020 in preparation for Whisperer in Darkness. It really gripped me as I sped through the winter gloom. Lost count of the how many times I’ve listened since! Glad they’re back!

Ireland's Ancient Animals, for which at least some evidence was found to suggest they once roamed this island, even if only for a while. Some might even make a comeback! Featuring the Irish elk, bear, lynx, great auk, wild boar, & wolf. #SpéirGhorm #SciArt Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...

I've noticed the speirgorm hashtag starting to appear on Mastodon, so I'm going to start using Mastodaoine here. #Mastodaoine

Normalise posting "That's just AI" whenever someone responds to a query by posting a screengrab of whatever some AI bollocks has given them when they asked it the question.

It is a sign of how deep and how wide conspiratorial thinking has become that I am now seeing mails implying that the tractors blocking Dublin streets are not owned by real farmers but by paid agents of international fascism or something similar.

I'm getting ads on Facebook for Cold Spring records. Are they a bit... problematic?

If tractors are literally abandoned on O Connell st. and the quays ..why can't they just be towed and impounded? www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/rout...

Rutte needs to go.

"A ceasefire doesn't mean we can't bomb whoever we like, it just means they can't do anything to us."

It's nice waking up to no nuclear war.

I think everyone would agree that the police and MPs shouldn’t be shoplifting.

Things are going to get really bad, and I don't think media, after years of both-sidesing everything, are really prepared to cover a crisis which is literally one guy's fault

How long till the men with the butterfly nets come for him?

Closed for the holiday! Rent will come for us on the 11th regardless so if you’re chilling at home today maybe you’d like to browse our webshop! I just finished logging the new books, will finish logging the new not-books later littledeercomics.ie

Was it always the case that hardly anyone knew how to use apostrophes correctly or has this important skill only been lost in recent years?

Just realised that I accidentally bought some novelty hot cross buns that I won't be able to toast because if I put them in the toaster their contents will melt out. There should be a law against this bollocks.

It's up! You can book! My new course with the University of Liverpool starts in May! 'Transformations of the Gothic' Online. Open to all. You can join from anywhere. No previous experience necessary. Just bring a love of the subject! www.liverpool.ac.uk/continuing-e...

I find at Court that there is some bad news from Ireland of an insurrection of the Catholiques there, which puts them into an alarm.

#speirghorm Please share to get Tadhg home, and also, isn’t Tadhg a great name for a cat

This is a devastating self-own

Instead of telling everyone about how you use GenAI in your writing, achieve the same result by attaching an inflatable penis to your head.

I’m still trying to process the Keanu-Reeves-holding-a-beagle votive candle I saw today.

Spare a thought for Marco Rubio, contemplating the inevitability of his own firing.

Never buying any book by this fucking clown. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is with regret that I must announce that today I have, by mutual agreement, left Tottenham Hotspur.

I saw John Woo's Hard Boiled last night. still brilliant. But are the subtitles and perhaps even some of the dialogue different to when I saw it in the early 1990s? Memory is unreliable, but I recall the line "Your piss has saved my life" featuring. #HardBoiled #JohnWoo
