Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I think this is my favourite so far. Alice Knox in Blackrock, Co. Dublin who is very glad to be single. #1926census

Look I know this was supposed to be a short sharp post, but in actuality I worked *very* hard on the alt text to try and get the off-vibe across.

All set up at TITE in the @lighthousecinema.bsky.social ! Superstar @tinygreens.bsky.social saving the day!

Now I can tell people I imported!

The #1926census media machine is really ramping up now. Due to unprecedented local demand, I've added an additional talk in May in Swords. cbgenealogy.ie/april-may-ta... #AncestryHour #GenHour

a man and a woman are jumping in the air while a man holds a woman 's hand . Alt: Jerry, Elaine, and George from Seinfeld dancing with excitement.

I just checked @cbgenealogy.ie's countdown clock and we are under 24 hours to the release of the 1926 census!

My grandpa emigrated in 1922, but I'll be looking for my great grandparents. I've also got three 2nd great grandparents and a bunch of other family members to check in on. #IrishGenealogy

What’s your favourite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only)

I know life sometimes can get tough
And I know life sometimes can be a drag
But, people, we have been given a gift
We have been given a road
And that road's name is
Rock 'n' Roll

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

This does remind me, to get comics it’s own distinct Arts Council funding channel, separated from Literature (the way Circus separated from Dance/Theatre), we would need a representative in the Dáil to bring it forward.

Any TDs like comics?

A screenshot from 17776. Green text on a black background: .On April 7th, 2026, people stopped being born. On the same day, people stopped dying, and people stopped aging.

Ahhh, it's today!

If you've never read 17776 (or even if you have), today is the perfect day to read one of my favourite pieces of storytelling ever.

No, it's not about football.

Om Patel y @om_patel5 stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free: below or write up a quick summary. Pepper |13:19:45 I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help? Anonymous User | 13:20:18 Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach. Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current = head while current: next_node = current.next current.next = prev prev = current current = next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Off topic, but if you want new interesting things may I suggest @hwatweekly.bsky.social who, for example, recently introduced me to visdeurbel.nl, a doorbell for fish in Utrecht.

There are some on Ebay right now. These things are 9 inches tall! Probably why Mina looks like an off-brand Barbie. Who just dropped a tab.

3 dolls licensed from Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Mina looks like Mary Poppins trying to pose for a photo with an incredibly high fever (cinched waist, puffy shoulders and high collar, all in green; glassy eyes drifting to opposite sides of her head). There are then 2 Draculas. The first is a pretty good approximation of hot young Absynth Dracula, with his cravat, top hat and tiny glasses. If you look closely he has the face of Andy Garcia but it works. The other (Vlad the Impaler Drac) is best described as Matt Berry in a knock-off batman hallowe'en costume he bought online sight-unseen, and found out it was red too late to get something else. Mina's head is too small, the Draculas' heads are too big. Overall, not sure if toys or wedding cake toppers.

Presented without context, just like IMDB did to me. Bram Stoker's Dracula never looked so... uh. m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5...

Just saw this on the official #StarTrek account and I had forgotten how absolutely great it is. Riker and Guinan give Wes flirting lessons.

Seems like a good day to repost this.

Three images on a green banner. On the left is the Dublin 2029 logo, in the middle a photo of Peader O Guilin, and on the right the cover of The Sword Garden. Peader is a white man with dark hair, wearing a black shirt and sat on a cream leather sofa. The book cover has masked figures in dark robes stood around a large stone obelisk. The title is above it, the a glowing blue ring around the title and the top of the tower.
