I DO NOT LIKE THE CONE

Without revealing your actual age,what's an artwork in the attic that represents the moral decay of your soul?

Somewhat concerned we're now trapped in the "why do you still use Twitter" discussion with the Irish government rather than the far more pertinent "what are you doing today to halt Twitter" conversation, which does not appear to be happening.

Aw, you can really tell that the Time of the Cat in our house is coming to an end, because I saw my first mouse in our garden today. When we moved here ten years ago, we had four dogs and three cats. Now we have three dogs and one very old and bockety cat.

The bone man. He’s come in the mornings and steal a bone from your bin. If there were no bones in the bin one of your family would have to sacrifice a toe or a finger. My uncle Colin lost an arm to him one time. Of course this was before the Bone War

good news, ian brady has promised to stop killing children except for paying subscribers, so that's that matter dealt with

it's time to kill the music it's time to cut the lights it's time to fight the Muppets in the parking lot tonight

When the Ambassador screened this, the staff wouldn't give refunds because "there's nothing *technically* wrong with the film", but those of us who walked out were given vouchers to come and see a different film.

Probably one of the best road safety adverts from TfL. If you've never seen it before - I can guarantee you will watch it twice.

Am biased (former CTO!) but some sort of government CTO would not be a terrible idea. The lack of expertise on tech in our entire apparatus of state is shocking. E.g. anyone who knew anything about tech was saying voting machines were a stupid idea at the time but to no avail.

One thing I am learning from Culinary Class Wars is that Korean chefs have a very different attitude to marine animals. I might have to stop watching it.

This one noped out halfway through the walk this morning, so we all had to follow him home. He is not a fan of this cold snap.

Really funny that my car makes the same alert noise that it makes if the engine is failing or the tyres are flat as it makes to tell you randomly that it’s cold outside, which I knew when I got in the car

crazy how much of irish politics is a member of government shaking their head over an issue and going "its a real shame, isn't it" then shrugging their shoulders and walking away

Yes

I've no doubt it's the same elsewhere but it's fascinating how enamoured Irish legislators are with calling for new laws to deal with things which are already covered by many existing laws. Enforcing the existing laws which are seemingly being broken by X every few seconds would be a good start.

Lads, we’ve covered this before. It’s The Colbys, and it will always be The Colbys.

Ugh, now that Christmas is over, all the storylines I don’t care about are back with a bang on Eastenders.

Guys, we did it. We invented the Commodore 64

My dogs seeing me balanced precariously on a stool to take down the Christmas lights: Uh oh, time to puke!

In the last ten minutes, I have seen three mentions of the AI tool that will play computer games for you, and they all make the same joke that it will also fuck your wife. Because everyone who plays computer games has a wife.

The Taoiseach’s job is not to condemn and describe something as shocking. His job is to fucking do something about it. We all know what it is.

Love the kid on today’s “make a cake that looks like your mascot” challenge whose mascot was the shape of a cake tin. Smart thinking. #JuniorBakeOff

big mood

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

don't be ridiculous

(touching hand to hidden earpiece) they got kumail

I will, indeed, be on the new series of Mock The Week.

[sigh]

We ate up Giri/Haji on Netflix, having missed it on the BBC. High quality crime/family drama absolutely stuffed with class acts. Also, @joebarton.bsky.social is a funny man. Well done everyone. Bualadh bos.

You know how bananas are radioactive but only a tiny bit so it's fine to have a bunch of them lying around. But keeping, like, one billion bananas could fatally irradiate you. I propose we do this to money.

Love this ❤️❤️❤️

New breakfast shows on Lyric.

We’re living in the future: Boris Bilinsky’s 1927 poster for Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, set in 2026

Fun fact, while in the Lord Of The Rings movies frodo looked like this, in the books he actually looks like this!

The best part of the Pluribus season finale is when Carol dropped this bomb. Absolute masterclass from Gilligan.

Posting about Cribbins reminds me of meeting Des O'Connor while my nan was ill. I told him how much of a fan she was. He immediately asked her address. I hesitated. "Don't worry, I'll not send my LP. She's suffered enough." The next day, there was a hamper and flowers on her doorstep.

Keep it up, everyone

In Agadoo did Kubla Khan Push pineapples, shake the tree

That episode of In the Night Manager was maybe not great?

Given that Maria Steen, an absolute nobody from a tiny little country was able to get her mitts on a €20k handbag, I’m not gonna begrudge the Mayor of NY’s wife having a €500 pair of boots to wear on the biggest day of her husband’s life.

Happy new year, tiny phone people.
