A quick look at his Wikipedia page says he moved to London ages 17 so are we going to get the full Macroom accent or something that has been modulated for the corridors of Westminster?
Has anyone heard him speak? Couldn't find anything online
No one could see that coming

I would snort this picture from a toilet seat.
False claims of a stabbing at Connolly Station on Saturday night were shared to millions of people by a US commentator who had travelled to Ireland to cover the fuel price protests.

oh great now where am I supposed to get my world’s biggest condoms
good, productive feminism explains that gender isn't innate and the patriarchy can be deconstructed; essentially telling young women that all men are creeps and predators and will never change is actually just weirdly reactionary and purposeless
He also does a good trade in Pride merch in the season. I don't know his political leanings or if he has any at all, but I know him and we chat occasionally. Decent sort, been there a long time
Dublin currently has ZERO cycle lanes under construction.
You'd think the climate crisis, collapsing AMOC, fossil fuel supply crisis, obesity epidemic, traffic jams or appalling road death increases didn't exist.
No urgency. Just subsidies for ... yep... more fossil fuels 😞
Laughing at this bleak nonsense and the fact that every famous signatory is American? What's the E in ESC again? Thank you Selma Blair and Rebecca De Mornay for your input on a European tv contest.

Desmond Morris was very important to me because he wrote about gay people in his book The Naked Ape and it was the first time I'd ever read or heard a description of gay people that wasn't sneering or judgemental. It was thrilling.
About 40 years later I had a chance to tell him so.
RIP Mr Morris
It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"
I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

Me and @ianyb.bsky.social being really good at billiards. I know that's not darts!

Amazing!
A still from Me, Myself & Mary, showing a kaleidoscopic vision of ketamine-induced mania, i which I - Séamas - am holding a tray of drinks surrounded by cosmic ephemora, planets, rainbows, mushrooms etc, standing on a rainbow, flanked by Mary McAleese and my boss's boss's boss's boss. There is a giant me - Séamas - standing behind me, with three eyes, backed by a rainbow, with his hands outstretched in puppeteer stance.
The film stars Chris O'Dowd as me, and Aisling Bea as my boss. It's a work of insane genius by John Michell and Antagonist films.
And, now, because of their fine work, this diorama of me on ketamine serving drinks to Mary McAleese is the banner image for Tribeca's entire animation shorts program.
8 years ago, I told a story which changed my life forever. Shortly after, an old pal from college asked if he could turn it into a film.
So I am DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE that 'Me, Myself & Mary' is not only finished, but has been chosen to lead the Tribeca Festival's animated shorts roster this year.
In the UK we call them lifts but in the US they call them elevators, because we’re raised differently.
Esther Rantzen wasn't in ER, that was Noah Wyle
Photo I took of these wonderful people (the faces of whom I’ve blacked out) singing happy Birthday to their lovely old dog at a bar I was at tonight in Portland
I was at a dog-friendly bar in NW Portland tonight and a table behind me started singing Happy Birthday and then I realized it wasn’t for a person but a really old dog who was wearing a crown and he was old and fucking adorable and I love this city
Which makes it even harder! Lol
To this day whenever I see a rude looking vegetable I think of Esther Rantzen
I'm a grown adult who knows that you should judge people by what they say and do and not on their appearance but Lord you make it hard sometimes 🙏
Talking to a friend recently about That's Life and what an impact a show like that could have when there were very few channels. Like, the only reason we all know about Tourette's is cos of this show
And everyone over the age of 40 knows what I'm talking about if I say "Saussages!" in a low growl 🤣
😮
Formal business/legal emails are so funny
DEAR Tom,
I'm going to sue you into the fucking ground and make sure you and your pathetic progeny are immiserated for generations to come.
KIND REGARDS,

18 April 2015, a fishing boat carrying migrants sinks in the Mediterranean between Libya and Lampedusa. It is estimated that 1,022 people drown, including up to 300 children. There are just 28 survivors. In 2016 the wreck is raised and hundreds of bodies recovered, some of which are identified.
