Who will call for negotiations tomorrow? The racist tax-dodger convicted of animal abuse? The guy who hoped Greta Thunberg would be raped by the IDF? McGregor's mate who thinks women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?
Everyone who says they support the fuel protests should be forced to listen to the interview their “PRO” just gave on national radio. Absolutely deluded, facebook-brained nonsense.
A fan made a perfect Jushin Liger out of McDonald’s meal packaging.
Everything that's wrong with fetishising "fact-checking" as an accounting exercise, debating decimal points while missing the forest for the trees.

Bloc Party when they were just breaking, at Whelan’s in Dublin (450 capacity). On their next visit they played the 3Arena
I don't know enough about trans day of visibility to say much other than I'm lucky enough to have a handful of trans friends and I want them to be happy and anyone who wants to prevent that can get fucked
Busta was everywhere in 1996. I’m not a rap guy but I can hear him YAWW YAWW YAWWWW-ing in my head anytime and I’m right back there
For Pitchfork's "Saturday Tracks" column, I wrote about my favorite Minutemen song, the late great D. Boon, their vision of punk as a means of working-class solidarity, and the television show known as "Jackass":
Wishing you a continued healthy recovery!

If you see a news story about an attack on a synagogue and your first reaction is to start ranting about Israel then there is really nothing anybody can do to help you

Amazing how constantly having to call meetings like this, begging them not to jack up the prices of fuel, food, homes, etc etc, never seems to make them question whether the laws are robust enough in the first place
Howdy. Listen to this fella for a moment.
A huge reason for a lot of the housing and social problems that we have in Ireland in 2026: when the banking crash happened in 2008, there was this narrative that people in negative equity were the biggest victims of all.
Getting house prices back up was seen as "fixing the economy".
Second time lucky for me? I ordered the plain blue one at the end of last year and they sent me the black DS9 one (which is fine as it is, but not what I wanted)
Switchblade Romance, aka Haute tension. It’s a bad vibe, I felt like curling up in a ball afterwards
It eventually got a cert in 1999 I think, after the BBFC rated it for the UK. We didn’t always follow them; in HMV we had to pull the Book of the Dead edition of The Evil Dead because it was still technically banned! IFCO only rated it a few years later
It was October 1998 in cinemas (I saw it then!) but yeah. The censorship module I did for my journo Master’s was enlightening
Plenty of politicians today (justifiably) concerned about schools having dramatic cuts to SNA allocations for the forthcoming school year.
After a root around I can find one (one) TD who raised issue when the NCSE signalled the soft policy change in a revised policy document that led to these cuts.
35 years of @taddoyle.bsky.social's 8-Way Santa!
Recorded at Smart Studios w/ Butch Vig whose work with Killdozer the band admired, 8-Way Santa finds TAD pushing their sound in new directions. Not a band to rest on its laurels, TAD began to add melodic touches to their sound, as evidenced by "Jinx"

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19
My SO’s worn glasses a lot longer than I have so she’d never laugh at me over that (there’s a whole list of other stuff that comes first)
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
The dark chocolate ones are the best, if you can get them (Dealz have them now and again)
I always think of Kincora when people say it's like this 'now' although this is clearly bigger.
The UK govt spent decades actively using child sex abusers & covering up to protect politicians, while shaming victims. They framed a man and sent him to jail for manslaughter for trying to expose it.
As I understand it, pedestrians now have right of way at zebra crossings, as in the Highway Code, but there’s been no publicity campaign for this update as far as I can tell
On RTE 1 there, Today with David McCullagh, @mcculld.bsky.social asks: "what advice would you give to road users?"
RSA spokesperson: "Very dangerous conditions for drivers." Continues to talk about drivers. Drivers only.
DMC: "any advice for any other road users such as cyclists?"
RSA: "Eh...."
