Imbibe Coffee Roasters

A reintroduction as more people seem to be here. We're a small independent coffee company with 5 full time staff. We've brought coffees to Ireland from producers who are genuinely among world's best. The business however was always meant to be about more than just selling coffee for profit.

So much for An Post's reassurance that you'd be able to pick up parcels locally after they centralise the sorting offices. For people who don't have a car, this will be more than a two hour round trip. Join your local campaign to keep your sorting office.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Just a reminder, lest we forget, that Elon Musk is an absolutely abhorrent individual. A real piece of shit and buying a new Telsa says you condone all of his piece of shit positions.

Ryan Tubridy is a smug and privileged asshole. He’s the essence of entitlement. He was caught with his greedy hands in till and was cancelled. He needs to stay cancelled. These assholes keep trying to reinvent themselves. Needs to be stamped on. Hard.

They should make a remake of The Terminal but it's called The Lidl where the main character loses his receipt and so can't get out of the Lidl

So far this month I've been invited to talk about Yeats in Love with Kieran Cuddihy on RTE radio (really?) join an editor at Hachette for a discussion about a sequel to The Late Night Writers Club (whut) and go to NY to be a guest author with Goodreads. (huh?) www.thedial.world/articles/new...

Why is our finance minister having secret meetings with Progress Ireland… and what is Progress Ireland in the first place? Consider it a Collison cutout.

As many know, I've no interest in Imbibe growing beyond the 6 full timers we have. We're lucky to have enough. What does interest me is spreading our ethos. We've given up over 30% of profits in each of last 4 years. We'd love to be copied so you might tell people. imbibe.ie/pages/our-st...

It's funny to me to see fascist bot posts under the French students protests saying Europe is no longer European or France is no longer France and I'm like buddy protesting is the most French thing these kids can do. Half of them are holding signs invoking the spirit of May 68...

Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Bright Eyes. Fuck Elon Musk.

See also buying a Tesla in 2026. Posted about this during the week and was amazed at pushback from people with "progressive" in their bios.

Everyone should go and see this movie. Fuck Elon Musk. Resist.

TikTok suspended the Musk film account and Meta froze the No Kings account - it's almost like letting fascist-aligned oligarchs own all our means of communication was somehow a bad idea.

Fuck Elon Musk. He’s the very worst of humanity.

The US part of TikTok, now owned by Larry Ellison, has permanently suspended the promotional account for Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary, according to the Hollywood Reporter. "Distributor Bleecker Street was informed Friday afternoon a 'permanent suspension' was coming. The entire page […]

Cherki and Semenyo on the bench for City. Not content with cheating only in the Premier League, they're now making a mockery of Fantasy Football too. There needs to be an asterix beside this years FPL:).

Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Ear.

"B-but October 7th!" 🤡

As a member of the public, I support striking workers today. Public sector workers are woefully undervalued, and I thought we learned that lesson during the COVID lockdowns, but apparently we need a reminder. I want workers to be paid fairly for the valuable services they provide. Yup the unions!

By January the governement will have spent more on giving in to the demands of fuel protestors than they've provided for in pay rises for the whole public sector. ( €1.2 bn )

A great move to rid filth from the Canadian supply chain…

I, a member of the public, do not wish to see my fellow members of the public who teach my children, heal me if I am sick, who administer the state and so on left worse off due to inflation each year.

The word you are looking for is hanged—otherwise, you're just repeating a wishful daydream of Donald Trump.

oh wow it's #portfolioday again! I'm Dearbhla, I colour comics, and I'm currently looking for more work 💖 I've worked for DC, IDW, Boom, AWA, Vault, Mad Cave, Dynamite, Dark Horse and more. 🎨 dearbhlala.com 💌 dearbhlalakelly@gmail.com

I want the most FT content you have. Wait, that’s too FT www.ft.com/content/f01b...

Looks like the folk who have "I got this before Elon went crazy" stickers can now take them off their cars. Tesla was Ireland's biggest selling car in September. Not buying a Tesla seems such a low bar. Such a long list of shitty things that guy stands for. Appears a lot of people just don't care.

Food for thought

SIPTU has a clear message for public servants scheduled to work from home on Wednesday. Don't do it. Don't open your laptop. Don't check your emails. Don't teach online. Don't answer your phone. A strike only works when the work stops. Remote work is work. #UnionStrike

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

Let’s see if someone actually watches the video :)

We give up 4% of all you spend with us. In each of last 4 years it's worked out to below or more in terms of profits. We stopped taking on cafe customers. We've enough. You can buy our coffee imbibe.ie/pages/shop but it'd be even better if you could tell people about our business model. Thank you.

🧵🧵🧵 I was going to write a simple sentence about the madness of the moment, but I got distracted by the U.S. president’s complaint that he was screwed out of the Nobel Peace Prize after bombing multiple countries, and then he bolstered his case with a plan to execute a guy in a wheelchair and ...

Simon Harris has 10 Special Advisers, each being paid a minimum of €100k, and up to a maximum of €182k. His Govt has just announced that they are scrapping the living wage their own low pay commission recommended. You’re not angry enough.

In ‘Am I taking crazy pills’, volume 6, I find the rehabilitation of Micheal Jackson wild. So many people saw the movie. My 13 year olds play his music a lot. Doesn’t seem too long ago that we believed victims in situations where allegations were numerous but it's now like nothing ever happened.

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to MJ Lenderman.

I can't believe It's almost 40 years since Wall Street was released. We haven't gotten any better. Gordon Gekko's famous line of "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good" is still the guiding principle of the world's business leaders. We haven't evolved. If anything, things are far worse.
