NYT is full of Epstein guys, that's what is wrong

I’m beginning to suspect all of the men in the Trump administration are impotent.

He should have tried saying Megyn Kelly should go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck her health for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

I may have said it before, but Marley’s character is making a good legal point. He’s not denying a murder of the deputy. He is pointing out that his violence was limited to the sheriff, and giving evidence that this was a just response. The sheriff, still alive, is evidence of his restraint.

I was puzzled by the verbal slips In “Nuremberg.” Michael Shannon’s character says citizenry when he means citizenship, death penalty when he means capital offence, and a couple of others I forget. Is this an attested thing with that guy, or a script issue?

Was Epstein dictating his emails to ee cummings?

I know a fella who wore a polo-neck in Tipperary around 2007 and has been called 'Westlife' ever since.

one time I pointed out that elon musk followed no women on twitter and he immediately followed caity weaver

It’s great to be so proud of our president and so optimistic about his successor.

John C. Reilly on working with Daniel Day-Lewis on Gangs of New York: ‘He invited me to his house & he was so lovely & our kids were playing & I thought I got him all wrong. Then on Monday I saw him on set & said ‘thanks for Saturday’ & he said ‘Fuck off, Jack’ using my character’s name.’

“Planned” is so gullible here.

I was literally just telling someone on Wednesday that this had died down and then this airs last night. Poor Tommy.

I, for one, believe him.

Coppa fig and Gorgonzola tarts sound like two of the cracks that got Gregg Wallace fired.

What a queen

Labour's Alan Kelly has hit out at the three largest political parties in the State, arguing that they have been "trying to ride both horses" in relation to immigration. He also called for a public awareness campaign about the benefits of immigration. jrnl.ie/6865679t

Looking to get a bread maker if anyone has any tips on what to look for and is it worth it? I'm baking bread much more often but it's a pain in the arse, would I be better just getting a Dutch oven? I do oat bread, spelt etc not totally GF. Please and thanks. #SpeirGorm

Is there a restaurant in Dublin doing Thanksgiving dinner? I can put some business their way. #SpeirGorm

This is very classy. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

I've heard back from one party leader and it's obvious they're still reserving the right to bail on the progressive coalition if that seems a more likely path to power. Please reinforce the progressive unity sentiment by emailing a few of them asking for more unity #spéirgorm

Irish artists, if you're taking commissions for An Nollaig let me know so I can point people looking for them in the right direction (let me know what kind of work ye offer, too)

Dublin Inquirer, the best newspaper in Ireland, has 1,963 subscribers. It would be great to see it pass 2,000. We need media outlets that aren’t controlled by rich guys or the state. www.dublininquirer.com If you subscribe today send me the receipt and I’ll give you a Halloween present.

I woke up in a panic because I couldn’t remember the verses of a Roger Whittaker song. That’s your correspondent’s mental state at the moment.

Is there a better video tie-in for a movie than Dream Warriors and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3? This is charming and funny and beautifully integrated. m.youtube.com/watch?si=avk...

“I have nits.”

Mamdani referred to a friend as 'bro' but a Free Press investigation has determined that this man is not his sibling.

If you were happy to see the unified opposition working together to get Catherine Connolly elected, I strongly encourage you to write a thank you email to your local rep from each of those parties, as well as the party leader. Reassure them that continued cooperation will benefit them #spéirgorm

Yes, they’re “past issues”, RTÉ. We know how time works. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

This is spot on from @selkies.bsky.social. If you are rediscovering an interest and/or love for Irish after the spotlight of the #Áras25 presidential election, here are some resources that I've used to get back on the #gaeilge learning journey... #Speirgorm 1/8

I also LOVE a bit of representation for people learning Irish to such fluency as adults because so many people imagine that it's too late for them, they missed their chance, or it'll only ever be the cúpla focal they master and nothing more. Find a rang! Find a ciorcal comhrá! Tá sibh breá in ann!!

It’s a stupid metric. It also gives Connolly the highest percentage since de Valera. (And Hillery served for fourteen years unelected.)

Shadow of a Doubt. Psycho. Frenzy.

For sale. First Steps in Irish. Never read.

A big congratulations and well done to the beautiful nation of Ireland

A moment that has stayed with me: after the result was announced as gaeilge, and cheered to the rafters by Connolly supporters, the returning officer began "and in English...", eliciting a hearty guffaw, and for a brief moment it was as if anything said in that language was an irrelevant formality

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

Sadako crawling out of your tv, turning motion smoothing off, then crawling back in

Next time we should have two candidates who stole three grand from a pregnant woman.

She did a superb job. It will be a big influence on the major parties in the next GE, I suspect.

No evidence of sectarian abuse in the article. The most HH can muster is “my staff kept it from me.” When so many public figures read simple disagreement as abuse, I think we should be a little more sceptical.

The ChatGPT subreddit is absolutely hilarious. LLMs just output statistically likely responses, and a statistically likely response to being asked to do some work is "I'll have that done by...". So apparently in some cases ChatGPT had just been telling users it'll get back to them later. 1/2

Comic con today included trying to explain the concept of a rom com to a Dalek

He changed his mind, but can some journalist PLEASE pursue him to find out what the rationale was.

What a petulant little manchild we have as Taoiseach. And he had the audacity to question if President Connolly would observe the social niceties of her office. #SpéirGhorm.

I'm glad that the pro-Palestine candidate won out. There were many good reasons for a Connolly win today but none of them are as urgent. May she continue to speak truth to power. I'm ecstatic that we have at lesst one leader representing the Irish people in this regard #spéirgorm
