On this day in 1973, presenter, multi instrumentalist and tap dancer Roy Castle measured at 1440 taps/min on “Record Breakers” and made it into the Guinness Book of Records youtu.be/XAGmZuoHKtY?...

#OTD in 1954, Marilyn Monroe married baseball great, Joe DiMaggio. The marriage lasted nine months. DiMaggio, deeply affected by her 1962 death, arranged for roses to be delivered to her grave for decades until his own passing, famously saying before he died, "I'll finally get to see Marilyn".

Good morning from Holly and me out for our walk this morning. It's frosty with some icy stretches, so be careful. With all the nonsense, distractions and cruelty in the world, the moon was there in the sky, waning but constant. When all the idiots are gone, she will still be there.

A wet commute into Dublin today. I hope you have a lovely Tuesday! #Speirghorm #Motorcycle #Honda #Goldwing

Holly snuggled in this evening. She is cute. #Speirghorm

Delighted that traffic on my website is up 251% this week. www.thefourthwall.xyz Thank you 😊 #Speirghorm

Depending on whether you are going by the book or the movie, the super-intelligent, self-aware computer HAL 9000 was first activated on this date in 1992 or 1997. Either way, the unfortunate AI would go on to lose its digital mind and nearly murder the entire crew of the Discovery.

It was Jessie Buckley's night at the Golden Globes and she deserves it. #Speirghorm www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Still waiting: #EpsteinFiles

Reminder: it's LEGO, not LEGOs 🤦‍♀️

Hamnet is in cinemas. It dares to be quiet, intimate, and human. It reminds us that art is not just a reflection of life, but a vessel for the things we cannot survive otherwise Paul Mescal is the ink. Jessie Buckley is the blood. Go see it. Here's my review: www.thefourthwall.xyz/post/hamnet-...

Bag 9 finished on the LEGO USS Enterprise build. It saw Roker, with his 'bone and the secondary hull (star drive) gets closer to completion with the deflector dish added #Speirgorm

Missing a piece from bag 8 of the LEGO USS Enterprise. I contacted the nice people in LEGO who are despatching it "tout suite" 😀

Good morning from Holly and me out for our walk this morning. We dodged the showers. My mood has been low these past few days. I thought the walk might help. Anyway, have a lovely day everyone. I hope it's not too windy or wet. I might just light the fire and build LEGO all day. #Speirgorm

Milk was sold in glass bottles for the first time #OTD in 1878 in New York, a major leap for hygiene that replaced unsanitary large cans, with companies like Echo Farms Dairy pioneering distribution in sterilized bottles sealed with waxed paper, creating the foundation for modern dairy delivery

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Bags 6 and 7 finished on the LEGO USS Enterprise build. The secondary hull (star drive) is taking shape. Time to cook and I might come back to it later. #Speirgorm

Good afternoon from @kfmradio.bsky.social 🎙️📻 I'm in grey today... including my hair 😂 Hope your Saturday is going well ❤️

Great to see ❤️

Just watching the last episode of Runaway on Netflix. Great to hear Mazzy Star in the soundtrack. #Speirgorm music.youtube.com/watch?v=04J0...

No words. 💔 #Justice4Renee

Great to see these songs back in the charts, all thanks to #StrangerThings: Fleetwood Mac - Landslide Prince - Purple Rain Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

Easter Eggs already in supermarket 🤦‍♀️

Marty Supreme is in cinemas right now and well, this film is 2-star but Chalemet elevates it to a 3-star film, but only just. I'm sure he will win awards for his performance but the film itself will soon be forgotten. Here's my review from last week:

"X platform charges users to generate Child Sexual Abuse Material in a move to improve shareholder returns" Fixed it for you @news.rte.ie www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Good morning from Holly and me out for our walk this morning. It's a calm chilly morning with some frost. I truly love this time of the morning. Have a lovely Friday everyone and remember that while there is evil in the world today, there is also good.

I write in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social about the laws that are broken when online AI platforms facilitate the production of child sex abuse material. No new laws are needed. Companies (and their executives) are accountable as well as users. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

In all the distraction, don't forget the Epstein Files.

The first official television detector vans began operating in the UK on this day in 1957. They were introduced by the General Post Office which at the time was responsible for broadcasting and licensing, as a method to identify homes viewing television without a TV licence. youtu.be/dqwbrX8uhEE?...

Income tax was introduced in the United Kingdom on this day in 1799 by Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. It was implemented to help fund the British war effort during the Napoleonic Wars. I can almost hear Blackadder...

"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut

My word. (Again.) Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan: "At the end of the day, it's the choice of a person to make these images... technology is moving so fast... even if the law is changed there's no doubt about... the advances are far faster than law is able to respond..."

Hey @news.rte.ie , what "row"? Oh you mean an imperialistic land grab by the US? Not sure that should be classified as a "row" "Rubio to meet Danish leaders next week amid Greenland row" www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Nailed it 👇👏

One for just #Speirgorm, it was on this day in 2010..... youtu.be/h3vVDUuC0yw?...

The Whiddy Island disaster happened #OTD in 1979, in Bantry Bay, Ireland. A French oil tanker Betelgeuse exploded while unloading crude oil, killing 50 people (42 French, 7 Irish, 1 British) on board, with another diver died during salvage, making it Ireland's worst peacetime maritime disaster.

On this day in 1904, Pope Pius X spoke out against low-cut evening gowns, reportedly stating that no good Catholic woman would consider wearing them. This action was part of a broader stance by early 20th-century popes against immodest fashions as modern styles began to change.

#OTD 1989 a Boeing 737-400 crashed on the M1 near East Midlands Airport, killing 47 people and injuring many more. A fan blade failure in the left engine and pilot error (shutting down the wrong engine due to misinterpreting cockpit signals on the newer 737-400 model, leading to a total power loss).

A Nexus 6 combat replicant, Roy Batty was first activated #OTD in 2016. He would go on to lead a group of rogue Nexus 6 replicants to run from the authorities, before they were deactivated by blade runner, Rick Deckard. As he pointed out in his final breaths, we're all just tears in the rain.

No new pictures where you at mentally

Forget the fact that they are politicians for a moment. How can they as people, as mothers and fathers and sons and daughters, use a platform for communication that is hellbent on monetising CSAM? On what planet is that morally OK? This goes for everyone btw.

I see a lot of chatter about WWIII Here's the official account from Federation archives: World War III was the last of Earth's three world wars, lasting from approximately 2026 to 2053. The conflict involved nuclear cataclysm as well as genocide and eco-terrorism. The Vulcans arrived in 2063.
