I'm just so eclipse-pilled today What do you MEAN the sun is 400 times of the moon? But COINCIDENTALLY just happens to be 400 times further away too? So they appear the same size? And we can get eclipses?!? I LOVE THE UNIVERSEEEEE
"I got diagnosed but I don't believe it" "One case I heard of, a child came off his meds and was fine" And on that basis, the whole ADHD thing is a sham? Great. Cool. Phenomenal journalism.
Radio Times has pubbed a piece this week on "The Great ADHD Myth?" Channel 4 is broadcasting next week.
Gonna go for a swim in the sea during the eclipse. Will be absolutely LIVID if don't manifest the Powers of Poseidon
Dublin cinema-going friends: is Cineworld just dying? Do we put it out of its misery? I like it for the IMAX but man, everytime I go at this stage, it just feels like it's falling apart Any suggestions for a new regular Dublin cinema?
Fun fact: when Matt Damon kicked the siren in this scene he actually broke his toe, that scream of pain is real
Finally after 75 years the curse is broken, Mayo have won the Sam McGuire and somewhere on Earth 616 the mutants Banshee and Black Tom Cassidy are sharing a pint in celebration. *Panel taken from X-Force #24
First film was perfect in what it wanted to say & do with these specific versions of the characters. The second film (while still fun!) just felt like a rehash. SO MUCH story potential to aging them up, the amount they could riff on superhero films from the past two decades but... NOPE, I guess?
‘INCREDIBLES 3’ will not age up the family. “People just keep thinking that aging them up is going to make them somehow hipper or cooler, or more like them, and it’s like no, it won’t,” says Brad Bird. (via thedirect.com/article/incr...)
Robert Downey Jr. watched Eggers' Nosferatu, heard the voice, and a light bulb went off in his head

Not sure why I'm having more critter encounters recently, but I do feel this little fella was able to sense the music I was going to use because his timing is amazing
Hitting daily word goals feels great. Still a long road ahead but very much enjoying this story just flowing out. (Dragons! Irish Dragons!!) #writing #YAfantasy
Congrats to Spain. A generational ham country. Ham as a fingerfood, ham as a meal. They earned that trophy in my book. The ham book, in this instance.
I like to think he waits patiently each night until they open and give him a snack
Dublin Bus driver just stopped bus at traffic light, got off, walked across the road and up to pub window to look at match score Sir
Inescapable comments like this everywhere The Odyssey is mentioned. Was Odysseus also an American man? Did the characters all speak English? IT IS FICTION. YOU. MORONS.
witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing
Getting the hang of hosting a podcast, no matter HOW many people comment about how pasty white my Irish legs are 🙏 Giz a look: TRY.Media/TGR
Big fan of the response to this. MORE PLEASE. Left: @tomhoskisson.bsky.social Right: @thewarblazer.bsky.social
Apparently there was so much backlash to this cover that Marvel is pulling it? Or at least that's been reported by Bleeding Cool. I don't even know where to start. Y'all don't deserve JRJR or Rivera.
Decided to do some quick digital inks over JRJR lines. Two treatments. I don’t even like amazing Spider-Man. But JR JR has never lost the compositional goods. The lighting is based on to Paolo Rivera’s rendition in the painted cover. Come on, guys.
Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing
I know next to nothing about the NBA but greatly enjoying New York losing its collective mind with their first championship in 56 years, gwan the lads
Bit out of left field, but speaking as someone who watched Disclosure Day while in the middle of reading Mysterious Skin HOO BOY that's... some overlap
Nobody ever mentions Saint Patrick’s horrifying skeletal hands.
There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.
