I lose it a bit when I try figure out what the Gardaí are telling us with their Bank Holiday operation stats. Yes, we know people are driving recklessly, instead of patting yourselves on the back for a few days enforcement, you've just broadcast how little is being done the rest of the time
Does this level of law breaking by drivers not suggest that we need Garda operations such as this one on a 24/7 basis & not just at bank holidays? "Between the period of Thursday 30 July – Tuesday 4 August 2026, a total of 169 people were arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant,
If the argument is that boycotting will lead to negative outcomes in a footballing sense, then surely playing a home game away from home without any fans will also do that
Every move by the FAI around the Nations League games against apartheid Israel is an acknowledgement that there is something wrong with fulfilling them. Israel has murdered 566 Palestinian footballers in its genocide, the FAI must not play these matches. #StopTheGame
Tired: Bono doing Beautiful Day as a poem at your funeral Wired: The Edge doing the Numb rap at my funeral
Listened to this at full blast in a sunny garden a few weeks back, and Tomorrow Never Knows still sounds like you're being gobbled up by future sounds

Saw In The Mouth Of Madness for the first time last night. Wonderful stuff. Scratched a very specific itch I can only describe as "the kinda thing Gareth Merenghi was making fun of but actually good"
Hey guys, Ive been working on some ways we can help improve Bluesky together, and I've hit upon the perfect plan. What we need is: Less likes on posts about a radio I didn't make More likes on posts about the kids radio show I did make

Me when my phone throws a compilation of the kid's birthdays at me, titled "happy memories": ok that's pretty nice I guess Me when my phone throws a compilation of cat pictures at me, titled "cuddles and purrs": YES, MORE, MORE!
"don't speak ill of the dead" belongs in the same bin as "why are so many young people estranged from their parents?" in my opinion. Both designed to avoid confronting bad behaviour at all costs.
Folks, you'll never guess who's birthday it is today

Rod Liddle? I'll tell you about Rod Liddle He's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one and also he's Dead
When someone like Rod Liddle dies, it's fun to watch journalists try praise him, without mentioning all that stuff he used to say. Like watching Lenny try explain why he should keep his job without using the letter E
It's class following evidence, you get to be right loads of the time!
Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

I just judge people harshly for listening to the news agents in the first place
The Comedy Bang Bang gig last night was so stuffed with comedy nerds I regret not starting a fight with someone. It's the one night I might win!
Hanging out with the world's funniest man Andy Daly last night. A real bucket list experience
It's only taken about 6 years, but I've finally printed some business cards
