Love Ireland and Leinster Rugby, Red Sox and Hamilton. Probably am too generous to my rugby teams because I remember the 90s
A number of big departures, and a relative dearth of incoming transfers, means Leinster are going to be relying on a lot of young players to make the step up this year. Here's my thread of key Leinster players 23-and-under to watch for the upcoming season, from established players to up-and-comers.
🏈 CHI 59 - 37 CAR FINAL ✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1096th unique final score in NFL history.
It's exactly this kind of blue sky thinking we need to make rugby make as much money as it currently does
Sei Williams@seiwilliams.bsky.social · last wk.So World Rugby think that Six Nations matches should be taken to the US so that Six Nations matches can generate the type of income generated by Six Nations matches?
17-12 up and then Jesse breaks Leroy’s tackle - changed everything. These two teams are so close everywhere apart from scrum - 27 quarter should be box office!
Not sure Leroy ever plays for All Blacks again after those two attempted tackles - yikes
Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields concert raising $20m for abortion care nonprofits (among others) while putting on an absolute banger of a show should be getting more play than it is in the millennial retirement home that is Bluesky
‘Straight and gay, liberal and conservative, white and black, Asian and Hispanic, trans and cis, devout and atheist, old and young, billionaire and broke—Dolly is the place they all overlap’ - what a fabulous tribute of the most empathetic of people @tommytomlinson.bsky.social
Tommy Tomlinson@tommytomlinson.bsky.social · 3w agoWrote this late yesterday, so reposting for the morning shift: A few words about Dolly. tommytomlinson.substack.com/p/the-greate...
A third of a billion books, though. A third of a billion. That’s quite something.
Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com · 3w agoDolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
RIP TO ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT
kate bush’s husband@airbagged.bsky.social · 3w agoNOT DOLLY PARTON
If you tried to describe Dolly Parton to someone who had never heard of her, they'd think you were lying. "She was a songwriter, singer and actress." "Was she any good?" "So good that we built theme parks in her name" "What?" "And then she decided to teach millions of children to read..."
Come on world, we needed Dolly. RIP to a legend and a decent person

The nadir of this is a scene in AntMan Quantamania (or a similarly stupid title) where a million antman made him tall -I’ve enjoyed so many MCU movies including Brand New Day but the lack of consequence in the multiverse drove me mad. It works for comics that live for 100 yrs but not movies.
Hugo Gordon@hugogordon.bsky.social · last mo.The alternate/multi-verse stuff drives me crazy. Zero consequence to anything that happense in the plot because they can just drag someone in from the next universe over. Makes literally every narrative choice meaningless. The games however are superb fun.
Now the Mayo lads better not interrupt any funerals on the way home tomorrow...
Richie Sadlier is incredible and for all its problems, we should be so grateful that RTE give him a platform to be so honest (and insightful btw!)
Does this mean Infantino has more morals than one person in the world?
Mick Hennessy@mickado.bsky.social · 2mo agoTruly pathetic, infantino asking that disgusting prick to move out of the photo.
If I had Messi even an old one on my team I’d try to score a goal. Well deserved win for Spain. Fabulous team and no one from Franco’s team on it. That’ll annoy the Madridistas!
Oh just remembered the thing I hated more than the 30 minute half time!
