Some sort of unqualified historian (Ireland & Cuba). Do a podcast also @casementsleftovers.bsky.social The rest is nonsense. https://therockisdead.substack.com/
Very embarrassing when Irish fash talk about ”European civilisation“. What has Europe ever done for us? Our natural brothers and sisters are those other post colonial states around the world, not the former empires.
eclipse marketing rollout is crazy. no years of hype, influencer partnerships, huge marketing splashes, just announce out of the blue a few days before that it’s dropping between 7-8pm on a wednesday. pure confidence in the product. no other celestial bodies can do this.
I couldn’t vote for Kamala (because I don’t live in America)
I’m getting emails from people explaining they think what happened over Monkey Cage was terrible , but they have decided to appear on the next series because…. PLEASE DON’T SEND ME THOSE EMAILS - just do it if you want to - giving me your reasons doesn’t make it easier for me even if it does for you
Once in a lifetime eclipse is it? Not falling for that one again sorry
Of course it’s ok to consume trash low-brow culture but you’re also supposed to engage with good and challenging stuff now and then too! lol
A good friend of mine has been given 4 weeks to leave the country by Jim O Callaghan’s department. No other words for it other than extremely bad and upsetting.
The thing that annoys people is when you describe the entirety of social and communal existence as “going to Applebee’s”.
Red Durkin@daedsider.bsky.social · yesterdayI don't mean people who lost loved ones. Or people who were injured by the disease themselves. Or people who worked in healthcare. Or lost jobs or business. I mean people who were asked to wear masks & not go to Applebee's for a while and are STILL like "I'm going to burn this society to the ground"
“Leftism” on Bluesky seems to mean “never critique either oneself or the world around them in any way”. Probably very healthy!
Wrong website to ask this I appreciate but does it not get exhausting being outraged by every article like this. "Something is lost when everyone wears earphones all the time" is pretty innocuous as hot takes go

Ideal Saturday morning: coffee and reading before doing some light chores around the house, all the while listening to the finest of ethio-jazz
So who started the Cueta rumours as an attempt to undermine the left wing government of Spain? Any journalists gonna crack the case wide open?

Just cringing so much thinking about what Arday must have felt like when he realised he was caught. Ahhhhh
Sometimes all you have to do is listen to Planxty in order to improve your day dramatically
Happy to have gotten on board the latest discourse early this time. You can all now give your EDM takes
Went for an ultrasound in Germany. As the doctor rubbed the gel on my exposed stomach he asked me where I was from. ”Ireland“ I said. “Ah“, he replies, then slaps my belly twice. “Belly full of beer!“
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · 6d agoA question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

In awe of all the Substacks coming out about you know who and his creepy behaviour. Less impressed by the chorus of “how did we let this happen?” while a certain Belfast band go from strength to strength. Some conversations are just too uncomfortable I guess!
worried that bluesky is turning “being rude on the internet about a n awful columnist” into a vital act of resistance
Will die on the hill that ‘EDM’ only refers to a specific, corporate, very white and very shite brand of dance music (which you can’t actually dance to), not to dance music as a whole. We already have “dance music” for that!
Thought this was about a different film and was nodding in total agreement
Sean T. Collins@seantcollins.com · 6d agoWhen he walks out of that phone booth at the end you can't tell me nothing. It's so fucking hype dude. I could walk through a brick wall when he walks out of that phone booth at the end.
Eternal reminder that my replies and DMs are always open for the following: rollers, groovers, and expansive movers, tunes and choon, foot-tappers and mind expanders.
Planted seeds on my windowsill a month ago and now they’re herbs. I feel a wave of cosmic transcendent joy wash over me, like hearing Alice Coltrane for the first time
