Sledgehammer was released 40 years ago today!

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Some long weekend of quizzing this has been! Inter are the Irish Quiz Champions!

You're most welcome to join us any time!

While I come down from the high of Ireland winning the Celtic Nations, and come home via all three countries of GB, it's as good a time as any to say RBQ's Joxer Goes To Stuttgart ep has dropped! Sadly, some of our more seditious statements were taken out, but try and guess where they'd have been...

More in the morning but we only went and bloody won lads

It's the home stretch of the Celtic Nations Quiz Championship lads, come on Ireland!

ME: [wincing, covering up Starmer's ears] sorry, do you mind not talking about politics around Keir? He doesn't know about scary things like nuclear war or poverty or Peter Mandelson and we'd like to maintain his innocence for a bit longer

KEIR: my father was a drill bit

ME: that's right Keir!

Getting my insane Fianna Fáil take up and out now, which I can quietly delete if it doesn't transpire but shows I'm a visionary otherwise: Mary Butler for Taoiseach? She did a good job on the radio earlier this week, the Chief Whip is strong a party that weak, and it would be historic...

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

My Bluesky has been down all day so it's like I'm in that "Wha where am I?" heaven bit rn

Arsenal would absolutely sicken ye

Also excellent timing Jim Gavin doing an interview today, just in time for everyone in FF to remember why they wanted him gone the last time

Didn't realise Fianna Fáil had a Briefcase Wanker Caucus

22 Short Films About Springfield first aired on 14th April 1996, making Steamed Hams thirty years old today.

Yessss laaaaddd!

I'm glad Finian McGrath has publicly made the important point: maybe the lads with the 300k machines should have been parking up at the US Embassy rather and directing their ire towards the people causing the crisis rather than blocking people from going to work and draining petrol stations.

Slán, Máire. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann. 💛💚

If a DoorDash grandma tshirt doesn’t make you feel nauseous about late stage capitalism idk what will

Christian Romero out for the rest of the season you say? We might just get through this

what the fuck is even going on

This deserves an award and some sort of banishment

I think in Hiberno Irish what would work is "Here,"

RIP slightly menacing Morning Ireland theme tune interpolating Tonight Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins, it's gonna take me ages to get used to all these Intel Pentium Processor-ass beep boop interstitial stings.

Morning Ireland changing their theme tune over the weekend has properly freaked my nut ngl

Yeah he doesn't sound like someone I'd be voting for by normal standards, but anything that makes the Scruton Cafe Guys cry in their unpasteurised milk...

This is exactly why Hungary’s elections matter so much - and they show that illiberal democracy can be reversed

A real relief and pleasant surprise to hear the news coming out of Hungary, especially when you consider their new PM's name translates as Pete Hungary.
