O.M.G. Not often I actually watch a video with my mouth on the floor...
CSketch@csketch.bsky.social · yesterdayOh my god I think I found the video.
hey @kenjennings.bsky.social maybe prove you’re not full of shit and stand up for Gwen
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
#OwlishMonday Lovely illustration by author & artist, Kathleen Hale (1898-2000) creator of 'Orlando, the Marmalade Cat', the first book from a series of 19 was originally published in 1938.
I do find it darkly funny that people know (or should know) Substack is a deeply, deeply troubling organisation that gives voices to abominable nazi's and vile creatures like Andrew Tate, but when it comes to accusing men of being creeps, have no problem sharing it. The double standards are wild.
Work hard, you'll get your just rewards. Innocent until proven guilty. Two of the social contracts we no longer hold true.
I put on The Last Stand for some reason and all I can think of is the greatest tumblr post of all time
Still shocked that people would compare someone being a lech with actual, physical molesters, paedophiles and rapists. Christ alive, let he without sin cast the first stone and all that.
As a disabled person i was amazed at the amount of accessible options that suddenly became available. I really felt like it had changed the world for the better. Then it all just got taken away and the world moved on and left us behind. Alone. I actually felt genuine grief.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
I feel like I'm losing my marbles. Has no one else said to anyone, "Ah, but you'd fuck him? You would, wouldn't ya?" I know I have, for the craic. And of course Americans never get the wrong end of the stick when Irish lads are fucking with you. Famous for it.
Jay@jaycoyle.bsky.social · 3d agoThe great Neko Case having to deal with Hansard back in the day. Horrendous.
I’ve never been more hyped to repost a bunch of bums onto my timeline
Sara Gibbs@sararoseg.bsky.social · 3d agoFor those of you who don’t know, Chapter Two, landing tomorrow, is titled An Army of Bums. What could that mean? Is it a metaphor? No. No it is not. We are also so sorry for the lack of umlaut I don’t know what we were thinking please don’t cancel us.
Come on now, don't be ridiculous we weren't housing 34 people who work in our trendy Chinese restaurants in that four-bed house, only a mere 26. www.independent.ie/irish-news/i...
Today is Porajmos Memorial Day. Today we remember the half a million Romani people murdered by Nazi genocide. Dikh He Na Bister
Giving a state welcome to a corrupt, war-mongering paedophile rapist Can we not? 🤮🤮🤮 Near shame that we can't charge him over the Epstein files over here.
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 3d agoThe trip will include a visit to Co Clare, where he is expected to attend the Irish Open golf tournament at his course in Doonbeg. He is also expected to visit Dublin, but details on many elements of the engagement have yet to be finalised. jrnl.ie/7119899
Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:
And you know... A quick answer (seriously) would be to redraft squatters rights and make it slightly more acceptable than it's seen at the moment, which is to say, as welcome as a boil on your arse. If you see a vacant spot, unused, you should be able to move in, and after a few years if no one
Bob Johnston@bobjohnstonbooks.bsky.social · 4d ago"A city doesn't get hollowed out by too many visitors. It hollows out when too little of the city remains underneath them, when the thing they queued to see has been quietly sold off around them while they queued." Great piece on #Dublin by Conor McGuire in Western People.
I saw it being shared by many, so I had a look and by God, it's not wrong at all. I hate visiting the city now. I loved it before, but there's a line that struck a chord with me. "You used to be able to be poor in a city and still live in it." This is it. People have lost the ability to be poor.
Karl McDonald@karlusss.bsky.social · 4d agoHate to admit this person from Non-Dublin has some points here. Nowhere is the Dead Dublin Theory better illustrated than the proliferation of new pubs done up to look like old pubs imo. Toxic to native fauna but serving the customer base it seeks. www.westernpeople.ie/opinion/dubl...
Dear Americans Hi, I'm glad you're all awake now but this post isn't about you
András Forgács W@andraswf.bsky.social · 4d agoSo if I'm reading this right a quarter of a MILLION people died of COVID in this country and somehow someone still thinks the mitigation measures were too harsh
I should have known. When I got chicken pox at 27 I said to the doctor, "There's nothing I can do, is there? Except keep away from people?" and she said not to bother as most people have had it. Which is how I would have caught it. Lesson here: a lot of people are cunts.
