Many years ago, I bumped into a guy, here in town. Totally my own fault. I was looking over my shoulder for a gap in the traffic, to cross the road. Embarrassed, I braced myself for the inevitable "Watch where you're going, you feckin' eejit!" that 99% of people here would've uttered. Instead, he

started to help me pick up all the stuff that I had dropped. I started to thank him and saw that it was Glen Hansard. I was surprised, so can't really remember exactly what he said, but it was along the lines of "You okay?", and he gave me a warm smile, before setting off on his way. It was 90

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

I hate guns, I am not a gun person, I will not live in a house with guns in it--I've seen the statistics--yet I must say, the Eddie Redmayne remake of Day of the Jackal has given me a very unexpected aesthetic appreciation of sniper rifles

I’m a sucker for understatement. George RR Martin is rightly lauded for his epic sense of historical, geographical, and narrative scale… … but it’s the *understatement* that lands, for me. All that invisible contextual weight, pressing down onto a single, simple, subjective human moment.

Listen, I'm Irish and I love Katie Taylor - our greatest ever athlete - but there is no way she won that fight. Wow! #TaylorSerrano #Taylor #Serrano

I watched the fight again (this time without any buffering).It was a much tighter fight than I originally thought. It could've gone either way. I would've had no complaints if Serrano got the decision, but Taylor winning wasn't the major injustice the Netflix commentary team were making it out to be

If you’re new to Bluesky, here’s an awesome fact - blocking REALLY does good work here. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Also, enduring thanks to the @bsky.app team for the nuclear block.* One of the greatest features of any social media site ever. * If you block someone, all of their posts disappear from your timeline and all of your posts disappear from their timeline, vastly decreasing targeted harassment.
