samuel beckett was born on this day 120 years ago. astonishing to think that if he had survived, and could run 100m in 9.57 seconds, he would be not only the oldest but also the fastest man in the world - together with his nobel prize for literature, an astonishing trifecta

I hope there's not too many more storms this year. I don't think Irish infrastructure can bear the weight of that many English newscasters pronouncing "Tadhg"

The choral section of Neubauten's Halber Mensch, maybe 1989 or 1990. Because it also sounded like the apocalypse. Sadly I've never found any more of their work in a similar style, after slowly tracking down their entire discog.

War Pigs. It would've been 1986 or 1987. It sounded like the apocalypse. Fortunately I only had to ask my mate what was on the cassette he was playing.

Found myself adjacent to a conversation wherein the opinion was expressed that "...I don't know what I think about the trans debate, it's a debate that's not yet settled, unlike racism which we're all sure about now..." and I had some questions.

A headline from Tech Crunch which reads "OpenAl acquires TBPN, , the buzzy founder-led business talk show"

Well well well. Company with negative return on investment buys a talk show hosted by guys who's entire job is convincing people to give them money.

Uh huh

This is a Spinal Tap joke and I claim my €5

One day....one day...

DUP are canvassing my street today. Amusing that my 'no thanks' was heard as 'ask me why I don't vote in any elections'.

I've just discovered a screenshot of two bars of music, on my desktop. Drawing a complete blank, I fire open Dorico and draw out the notes. Hit play.

First two bars of feckin' Stairway to Heaven.
If that's not entirely Rick-roll adjacent, I don't know what is.

As middle aged man shopping for clothes on a budget in the UK....this hits hard.

Fun times. Mention BJ(-1) one time and my replies are full of cheerful well-phrased perky questions about my post. Blockity.

With ideas of social media driving depression and anxiety, and AI driving psychosis, does it all distil down to humans being three rubes in a raincoat? Believing hard at any opportunity?

Inside of us all are two that-guys.

I have never once actively sought out and listened to Bob Dylan: I have accidentally and incidentally heard enough to be quite satisfied thankyouverymuch

He's a quare one for lookin' at ye the wrong way.

from my own book, it was something i made sure to note.

the hospital i was born in was bombed during that horrific American war.

The My Lai Massacre in Vietnam is a United States war crime committed on 16 March 1968.

We may have envy issues.

In our house, that position's full name is "look at that wanker, living his best life".

Having £11 million to spare and choosing to buy a guitar with it seems like, I dunno, like you don't have very much imagination.

This article fills me with glee. And quite apart from the Ryanair issue, this is how escalation to national-level agencies ought to work.

Would love to see more of this. Ryanair won't follow the law until they are forced to.

Working from home spoiled Going On The Computer for me =(

And what about Tommy Dickfingers? Found him in a wheelie bin with two snooker balls for eyes.
