Curious and creative thinker, love exploring diverse ideas and engaging in meaningful conversations.
I did a workshop recently with a group of young people experiencing homelessness, & some of the kids were in that same group when I did workshops with them last year. A year of homelessness is a childhood destroyed. And our leaders talk about how things are improving, it's rotten.

What exactly was wrong with our tanks, they’re lovely tanks .. shiny, never seen one war .. the worst battle they had was the Galway rain on their exposed parts.. Sur it might be a blessing, imagine Ukrainians took them and they broke down.. in battle! ‘sod in the fire is worth a fish in the sea’
The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · last mo.⚡️ Zelensky calls on Ireland, EU to 'keep promises', advance Ukraine's membership. "We must keep moving forward. We count on it, moving forward without losing time," Zelensky said.

Last one awake in the capital.. beeping horns around Iveagh gardens .. 3:44 AM .. surely we can pass laws that forbid this because beeping cars are not going any quicker than the rest in a jam!! There’s science to back this up .. being a mr cnut inside a car has no increase in speed. 😆
Scammer on below details called me (from Vodafone of course!) with the old fashioned offering of 40% off my phone bills! It felt nostalgic hearing them out there still, hunting folk who don’t ask questions like .. Vodafone..they’re all fcuking scabs, no way is this true, scam! I’m no fool…
“individual geniuses drive innovation.” …oh right,thanks collision study.. Cos every genius famously works alone?! Einstein just popped into existence fully formed,went “E=mc²” and then vanished. No teachers, no prior science,no society. Just him and a chalkboard like some physics wizard! Fcuk off😂
Irish Independent@independent.ie · 5mo agoThe research, which was commissioned by the Collison brothers, appears to support a position that individual 'geniuses' are the key drivers of innovation, rather than structural factors like education, capital formation and the rule of law
There are wars, climate disasters, democracy’s on life support and Amazon thinks we’re going to watch a dimwit, whose main contribution to history was standing slightly behind a lunatic! Where is the story arc.. she marries money , moves into a gold house, and then avoids eye contact for a decade!

Video game (idea) 😆 Paddytinian: Dublin is now "Dúbh Linn" a city of perpetual, propaganda drenched streets, patrolled by the chrome-helmeted Zio. The neural-pulse towers stand where the Spire once did, rewriting everything. You’re Paddy, founder of the Paddytinian resistance💪 #games #videogames
An acquaintance was showing me a funny video on his phone yesterday and I noticed that his WhatsApp had two interestingly-named groupchats: The Lads The Lads (No Declan)
It’s not that I can predict the future. It’s that our lazy and classist commentariat are so lazy and classist that anyone can predict the word vomit they’re going to spew next.

He looks like the bloke you complain to at the golf club because your gin and tonic had too much tonic. And he’ll say, ‘We’ll do better next time, sir.’ 😆

@barryglendenning.bsky.social There’s an unhealthy tan on Jack Grealish , like he’s been scooped up of a raft in the Indian ocean after living on seagull blood for five months 🤣 I think you’re right about Toffee mens relegation.. it’s 0-0 after 35 minutes but does not reflect reality,they’re shyt

This was an extremely fun and interesting discussion to record on my bank holiday Monday. We got deep into the weeds on some of these issues in a way that I don't often get the opportunity to in the media. Give it a listen if you're not sick of listening to me harping on about thon transgenders

The death of yet another breeding white-tailed eagle from suspected poisoning is just heart rending. But despite continued losses, this remains the most successful reintroduction project ever undertaken so far, and one of the best things ever done for nature, in Ireland. www.rte.ie/news/munster...

“Male Radiohead fans” Ignoring the pernicious sexism.. which is awful, this sort of argument isn’t worth replying to is it?
Seána@grantsana.bsky.social · last yr.Congratulations on SPECTACULARLY proving my point about male Radiohead fans (see how you presumed I wasn’t a fan and then gave a wee quiz). Honest to god, 10/10, no notes. Thanks for providing an up to date worked example of how angry and abusive the type get when *remotely* challenged too👌🏼
Congratulations to @lfcr.bsky.social , my team for 38 years 🥰🥰🥰 l’ll have a nice nettle tea in celebration, feeling we’re comfortably back on our perch 😆
Numa Pompilis..on possibly New Years at the end of March ..looked at the 10-month year and goes ‘ya’kno what this needs… more filler,slap another 2 months on that’ And being emperor the people went, we’re NOT fighting anyone at the minute, ‘add Ianuarius an Februarius’ We take YEARS too seriously!
Thinking about the two St Patrick’s in Ireland again Poor Palladius was probably out doing all the hard work, baptising people in a swamps, answering the door to bards, only for history to go. ‘Nah, we like the other fella better,drop the first AI’s only use..heres 2 images of two Pats battling

@support.bsky.team How’s this allowed.. I’m on a list for supporting Gaza .. but a list of Nazi’s and Trump fans .. my interactions are nothing but civilised. This is a form of bullying, the person who created this is blocked by 1000 people
m.imdb.com/title/tt5040... 1/2 Just finished this.. This is artsy fartsy pile of wank .. I hated it , I’d rather be bitten by an actual vampire than sit through that again. This wasn’t like a horror, it was doing your homework in the summer holiday.

If a wolf killed my pet,I’d be devastated too—but I wouldn’t start a campaign to arm farmers with machine guns. I’d just get a bigger f***ing fence. And ‘actively managing wolf populations.’ What does that even mean? Listen, Mr. Wolf, we really need you to consider a career change,ya try veganism?!
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · last yr.In some European regions, wolf packs have become a real danger especially for livestock. Today, we are proposing a change of EU law that will help local authorities to actively manage wolf populations while protecting both biodiversity and our rural livelihoods.
