www.experimentlog.com/blog/buildin... I find it fascinating to think of the tens (hundreds?) of millions of people who have been killed in the last 100 years over fuzzinesses in this map. 25000 for every bit?

I’m late to this but I’ve long maintained that Teletubbies and In The Night Garden take place in the Culture universe.

Name movie or tv universes that aren’t connected but should be.

Books I read in 2025!

This came up again in conversation, am I mad or do these seem like ludicrously high default suggested spending limits?

Jaysis he’s some man to still be putting out the albums!

I *knew* it!

What about Vincent Browne? I think he'd be a nice change in the #Aras25, he has tons of experience, charm, wit and personality and shur I have the badges already #vinb

AMKNOB-1 - first pharaoh of Dublin.

There were some great cryptonym lists in the JFK garbage that was declassified:

I *knew* it!

Nice work RTÉ Player…

This is like if Starship Troopers was set in the Idiocracy universe.

This is what you’d expect in a dystopian film set in the near future. Shitty cyber-esque graphics, insanely dark fucking policy, unbelievably Bratz-ass Homeland Security secretary, maybe put some little flying cars in the background.

I rummaged out the paper to start Saturday’s crossword only to be interrupted by an ad for www.purcellauctioneers.ie/catalogue/74... and now I’m staring bankruptcy in the face.

Out for a winter walk today.

2024 in books! I managed to get through 32, highest total since we had our first child 5 years back. I’ve felt weirdly guilty about the self-indulgence of some of what I’ve read this year (bizarre and fragile under examination as that may seem). Here we go (if I don’t run out of steam half way):

This is getting like that episode of Peep Show where they all keep trying to section each other. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

South Korean lawmakers impeach acting president Han Duck-soo

My brain had managed to mostly forget we still show the angelus before the news on RTÉ. Sweet jaysis.

Alan Shatter not getting back in but politics’ loss is erotica’s gain. #GE24

How did I miss this at the time

Looking forward to tonight’s leaders debate Here’s the one with Charlie Haughey and Garret Fitzgerald chaired by Brian Farrell in the 1980s… from my old negatives #35mmfilm #documentary #photography #leadersdebate @rtenews @RTE_PrimeTime #GE24 #Ireland #GE2024

Simon Harris trying the “that would be an ecumenical matter” defence #ge24

The two lads #ge24

Loving Michael Martin having to caveat all his “100 years” remarks to cover for the fact that Fianna Fáil also did everything in his list in that timeframe. #ge24

Unsurprisingly he didn’t manage to provide a particularly clear answer himself - shite hawker #ge24

Andrew Lowth@andrewlowth.bsky.social · 2y ago

Peadar Toibin of Aontú - "It's amazing, we're 10 minutes in and nobody has been able to provide a straight answer." Leads to the first interuptions of the debate. No interest in government with Fine Gael and Greens. Calls Fianna Fail 'transactional'. Not sure what SF stands for #GE24 #RTEUpfront
