finally they've broken the cycle

I'm sure it's amazing but it's near the top of Movies I Will Never Ever Watch Because They Are About Sad Children/Adults Sad About Children (A.I, Hamnet, Arrival, etc.)

Bar Italia being supported by an unlikely Wet Leg/Kiss supergroup.

Twin Peaks: Sarah Palmer with Johnny, Maddy and Donna looking down on Leland as he cries lying on top of Laura’s coffin at her funeral.

P Pearse Passport application

My stuffiest political-legal opinion is that the American style of giving laws acronymic names like the CHIPS (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America) Act is undignified. Laws should have boring ass names like the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Act 2022

Polyfilla is a beautiful name for a baby

Checks out... "We glorify war, the world's only hygiene, militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for and the scorn of women'' The Manifesto of Futurism, Marinetti,1909.

Eggs. A complete food. This is an #EggsPositive feed.

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

There has been a housing crisis where I am from in North Clare for much of the past 25 years Constant shortage of affordable rental housing and knock-on labour shortages (ironically impacting the tourist industry most) The council has not built a single public housing unit in decades

That Kvaratskhelia (cc. @footballcliches.bsky.social ) is just a ridiculous player.

I went to the clown rave (delivering pizzas, I'm not a clown) and everyone knew you

Places like achill and Killarney that are impossible to find a place to live in create their own political consensus. cause the people who can't find anywhere to live there leave and the people who can are often landlords like MHR himself

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

The lesson here folks is, if enough pressure is applied over a controversial issue a decision will eventually be taken out of the hands of the local authority and ruled on directly by Cabinet. A great day for local democracy in our country

this shit is unbelievable. ""he reality is that the Moon has reliable stores of oxygen and silicon, and building a catapult-like mechanism on the airless world would be an efficient way to move materials into space to build large orbital factories, data centers, solar farms, even O’Neill cylinders."

haven't seen this much consternation about a bad bunny since elmer fudd.

I work a specialist admin job in a large university. After several restructurings I was left without a line manager. I think they just forgot about me. Not been given any work in three years. I just turn up occasionally and work a few side hustles from the office.

Macbeth: SHIT

Genuinely didn't get that Skehan meant "policy goals will be imposed" to be a bad thing. Isn't that what policy is supposed to do?

school uniform fever: catch it!

I had no idea that the wildly profitable Ryder Cup at the gazillion star posh hotel was a struggling charity event needing volunteers

I watched Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes again this morning and honestly it's the greatest episode of TV I have ever seen. A masterpiece. Watch Review if you have not.

Incredible stuff from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/igno...

One of Starmer's biggest problems is that he often wears dark-coloured formal shirts, which are for knobs.

this lady's jacket fucking rules

Look, of course the outcome was disappointing, but let's not forget that in rugby possession is a prized commodity and there are significant tariffs for those that are indiscriminately wasteful in its husbandry. It's a tale as old as time.

fuck him up

As far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your Peace Prizes and all your Chemistry Prizes and all your Physics Prizes and all your Literature Prizes into the biggest f***ing dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly.

i think it was the great screenwriter william goldsmith who famously said there are only three stories in all the world. a man goes on a journey, a stranger comes to town, and people fighting their way up and/or down a high-rise building

Coming in April from Caitríona Lally via @newislandbooks.bsky.social - Home Economics, the first non-fiction book from the Rooney Prize winning author. Currently reading an advance proof of this, it's realy really good. One that will feature on many 'best of' lists this year. #speirgorm

They’ve been doing this since WW2. It’s just the current crop think subtlety is for pussies and making their meddling explicitly tied, rather than through the NED or proxies which were on the face of it neutral democracy and human rights orgs

Misha Glenny is doing a lot of throat-clearing before he starts hosting In Our Time. Chatting to Melvyn Bragg, visiting the studio. Worrying development. It should be as if he doesn't exist except for approximately 60 minutes of professor-prompting a week. I don't need BTS footage.

irish government to require all pedestrians and cyclists to dress like this so that drivers will maybe look at them

v. interesting; you'd nearly have sympathy with Le if you ignored the fact that she put her hand up to work for these pricks.

mother of jesus the state of him

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

[John Virgo sotto voce] One of the most shameful things l've ever seen here at the Crucible

In light of the Epstein revelations I call upon a COMPLETE BOYCOTT of all BUDGIE THE LITTLE HELICOPTER-branded items, goods and services!! Let's hit Fergie where it hurts most - the pockets!

Agreed. substack.com/@rileysociol...

i'm a single issue voter. it should be illegal to call it 'buffalo chicken' if its just a chicken sandwich with a little chipotle mayo. and you can't call it chipotle if it is mayo with a little paprika sprinkled in. two issue voter i guess.
