I will play that funky music for you. However, I see no reason for you to reference my race or gender. And I think doing it until you die is excessive and I will not be a part of that.

I see the Irish Times thinks a sewage plant is a "sewerage plant". There was a time when the IT called itself the paper of record. Imagine! O tempora, o mores... @irishtimes.com (Friday) #hiresomesubeditors

Here's an interesting couple of minutes from a boring Canadian: www.facebook.com/reel/1063557...

Oops! Forgot to post this yesterday (Ash Wednesday). Haven't had a smudge on my forehead for many, many years now. Graphic stolen from a Bill Donaghy.

What a beautiful construction!

Gramps is definitely losing it.

I get the feeling I'm gonna be posting this article a lot, it's frighteningly on point joycearthur.com/abortion/the...

Thinking of investing in #AI? Here's one Google AI nonsensical search result! 😁😁 The answer to the crossword clue "At which he might be seen shaking streams at random? (8,6)" is SCENERY STUDIO. Explanation: "Shaking streams at random" is an anagram of "SCENERY STUDIO" (8 letters, 6 letters).😂😂

Ya gotta feel sorry for whoever gets #bovino next. They already know they are going to be short-staffed.

Why shouldn't you give melon to very young children? You'll have a Meloncolic Baby... #dadjoke #punny #badpun

Cool!

Got word from my sources that what closed the Greenland deal was NATO's guarantee of 2 personal visits from Santa Claus. Unrestricted. No cameras in the room.

[email protected]: "You want to put his name on coins and buildings and park passes. You want to penalize people who cover up this shrine to Donald Trump. We take an oath to the Constitution. It seems all of you took an oath to Donald Trump."

Here's a cleanly formatted and complete copy of Mark Carneys superb speech at Davos. I'm tempted to say "Not all heroes wear a cape" but maybe "Cometh the hour, cometh the man" or Lao Tzu's “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.”?? #WhiteHouseToddler www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Really excellent speech by Carney. Refreshing to hear eyes wide open honesty. Now for our leaders to say "No" to the Toddler and let him have his little meltdown.

When Trump did that weird leaning stance on the W.H. lawn, rumours of FTD started. Now it's looking more and more likely. Here's an interesting analysis, going into the differences between FTD and the more familiar dementia/Alzheimer's. The point about patients INVENTING not just forgetting is key.

Some eerily accurate predictions of the rise of the Orange One from 1998: www.instagram.com/reel/DQPmqPu... (apologies if you don't use Instagram - I avoid it as much as possible but I somehow stumbled across this)

I like the Irish Times article headline:... Don't upset the toddler...😂 European leaders may soon drop the don’t-upset-the-toddler approach to Trump relations – The Irish Times share.google/U1fxKg4LdZAT...

If you go to little league games you can just walk up to the winners and knock them down and take the award.

Finally deactivated Twitter. Haven't really used it for a year, occasionally visited to get breaking news - BlueSky just doesnt cut it, yet. But revisiting today I was sad to see people I followed and enjoyed were still there, in amongst the noisy illiterates with little of interest to say. Adios.

The leaders of Albania and Azerbaijan discussing the ending of the non-existant "war" between them! www.instagram.com/reel/DPa8Rpt...

One of the goals this year is to treat social media more like how we used to “go on the computer” in the olden days: brief and concentrated instead of diffuse over the course of the day

Fruugo, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Offering 4TB SSDs for €26 (LOL!) when we BOTH know these are fakes. Usually there's a little memory to fool the naive user, who happily stores all their precious photos until they go look for them and they're just not there. www.fruugo.ie/hard-drives/...

If the #FIFA #PeacePrize winner also invaded Argentina, Brazil, and Uraguay, he might be able to scrape together a football team capable of getting to the #WORLDCUP Quarter-Finals. Maybe it's not #aboutoil?

Interesting analysis of food myths here. Amongst other things he says exercise, while very good for you, doesn't help you lose weight. What does is not eating ultra processed, low-fibre, sugary foods - yes, you are what you eat. This is 10 minutes well spent www.cnbc.com/2026/01/02/i...

I just got my tickets for Springtime for Putin at the Trump-Kennedy Center. I can't wait to see what Benny Johnson did with a whole musical.

This is a wonderful, whimsical, thread! To see all his Dad's paintings you'll have to click on "more ..." every so often. PS: to save anxiety, Bridget the Cat did come home.

I see various people posting this up. Here’s me from 2001 talking about AI. Dunno how accurate it is. I hope it isn’t. youtu.be/6mvUqM2Ty5c?...

Aye. Fond memories.

Incredible! #Gardaí find body and in 1 year can't identify it, despite: public service card, UK driving licence, Ulster Bank card, credit union statement, construction skills card, business card, EHIC card, NI and Dublin CC library cards and a CV! Embarrassing! share.google/NbLgaZMzqNdR...

I put up a post of Warren Buffet talking about the European Defence Union and its effect on the US defence and tech industry. I soon had misgivings and the feeling it might be AI created or modified. "Two dollars trillion" - hmmmm. Now I'm reasonably sure it's NOT genuine, so I've deleted it. Sorry.

Not available in the US market. But these are currently $42k. If Xiaomi figures out a way to sell these in the US market, they will flat out own the EV market and put Tesla straight out of business.

Under-appreciated post

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

Feeling down so looking back 5 months when I had a silly smile on my face as I glided down a silent River Boyne, near the site of the famous Battle. 21:09 12/7/2025 (Apologies if I posted this before.) . #IWAI #BoyneCanal #photography #photographersonbluesky #ireland #river #sunset

Not Marge? How disappointing! #pipebomb #jan6 #trumppardon

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

The Felon of 34 can’t speak truth about 1 single thing!! He truly is sick seriously unwell emotionally and mentally!! This laundry list from today’s cabinet meeting is JUST EFFING BANANAS!!! www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/p...

How could you!

Excuse you - Pupperoni, thank you very much.
