@schumer.senate.gov: “We have lots of different paths to victory, and we’re not going to turn any of them down." Except Florida. We're not gonna waste our time with Florida, right Chuck? www.ms.now/news/angie-n...

Have spent the best part of an hour in this position, and could probably spend another hour before we get up #productivity

She adopted us about 10 weeks ago, and is definitely leaving her tiny kitten phase behind #kittens

Turns out you can defund the police www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

When I moved to durham, i realized i had become part of the community when i successfully lobbied the city to install a bus shelter at the stop nearest my house. Nearly 5 years into my stay in Ireland, i have gotten the State to install a bus stop sign at the stop nearest my house. Progress!

Me: Can i schedule my vaccines? I’m off to a third world country in October and i want to make sure i’m protected. GP: Of course. Here’s the link to book online. May i ask where you’re going? Me: Florida

Rainbow season! #rainbows

Hakeem Jefferies: "The question is whether Republicans will join us.” Dems can have leadership that thinks they need Republicans to do stuff, or they can have leadership that believes winning power by motivating the base and apathetic non-voters is the way to go. But not both

Miss Molly discovers laundry fresh out of the dryer

The guys who did the 2008 renovations on my house did a decent job on the hardwood floors on the top storey. My best guess is they lifted whatever was on top of the wood on the 1st floor landing and said, nope, let's just throw some carpet on that. I should have learned something from them

Well, there goes the fucking neighborhood www.corkbeo.ie/news/propert...

Oh, it’s #BlackCatAppreciationDay ? Here’s Miss Molly, who adopted us about 7 weeks ago

Used my eclipse glasses as a filter on my phone

I'm making these wings from a recipe in the Guardian, and I noticed this part, and I'm thinking, how the fuck does anyone think 500 grams (just over a pound) of wings can go around for 6 people? #recipes

I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction - Clarence Darrow

Everyone already knew that Infantino had less backbone than your average garden slug. The guy who's going to take the biggest hit to his reputation going forward is Pocchetino. Utterly lacking in integrity, and I actually liked the guy up till this week. Was very hard done by at Chelsea

And some people say we don't get enough US tourists in Youghal #youghal

Great moments in marketing

I hear they're already renaming that new Thierry Henry street in Manhattan to Handball Court #thierryhenry #worldcup

I will never understand why every one of the previous owners of my 190 year old house decided to slap more paint on these doors, instead of stripping them down. Yeah, it’s a shit load of work, but it will be worth it

I see half a dozen posts a day of "if Obama (or Biden) had done X, the media would have exploded, yet Trump does X squared and no one says boo." The answer is simple. Under Democrats, the US had a functional, aggressive opposition party. Under Trump, the US has Democrats

Congratulations Bolton Wanderers!

Lighthouse pic of the day. Maybe the renovations will actually be completed by summer!

Ikea says you'll be wanting the full glass of wine to assemble this one

That Irish paint suppliers haven’t figured out that tossing in a few branded mixing sticks (from either the retailer or manufacturer) on a multi-hundred euro order makes sense, will never not be amusing to me. Some of the cheapest marketing imaginable to build brand loyalty

I suspect Merz is going to find himself wished into the cornfield pretty soon www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Cannot imagine the feeling of running a sub 2 hour marathon, nearly a minute faster than anyone has run one before . . . and finishing second

Happy 4/20 to those who celebrate!

About fucking time. If this shit was illegal today, it was illegal last Wednesday, when they should have taken action www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

I live on a street in a village where 75%-85% of drivers exceed the speed limit. It's unsafe for me to cross the street in front of my house. Is there anyone in Ireland who thinks I have the right to get 3 or 4 of my neighbours to block the street with their cars in protest?

Meanwhile, the US VP is in Budapest raping the mangled corpse of irony www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

When I moved to Ireland 4(!) years ago, one of the qualities I most appreciated was the light, especially in the evening. This winter has been overwhelmingly grey, and tonight is the first night I've felt like taking a photo in quite a while

When I left the theater on Sunday, I was thinking that Project Hail Mary was an entertaining enough film. Over the past couple of days, I've realized that between the abysmal science, the plot beats lifted directly from ET, and the sophomoric trolley problem plot device, it actually sucks

Has Paramount Plus announced when production will begin on Star Trek: Terran Empire yet? #startrek #starfleetacademy

Dance forever #dublin

It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton. On April 1, the world’s great powers came closer to nuclear war than ever before …

Democrats should take this deal www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
