My teenage children, who have never set foot in NYC, go around saying "Help me, Mamdani!" whenever anything goes wrong and/or they can't figure out their homework, just to give everybody a sense of the scale of this man's presence in the culture lol

Miranda’s joy at being able to participate and experience life is itself a joy to behold #pwME

Disability can happen to anyone at any time. It’s not due to deconditioning or a moral failing. Many chronic illnesses are the result of a viral infection from which the body never recovers. We need more awareness, treatments & clean air to reduce viral spread. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

Gavin, Carla, Jamie & Co are threatening to bring down Stormont, as if we care 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s their prize, not that of the nationalist community. We want public services that work more than we want the house on the hill. Shooting themselves in the foot every time

Here's Carla's opinion on a peaceful march for Palestine in Scarva, why can she not apply her own words to Garvaghy Road?

Bryant thinks he’s calming the situation??

The nonsense is probably a result of how successful the Fleadh was

Again? We’re doing #Drumcree again/ still?? People died. The region ground to a hault. Why are we doing this decades later? #Portadown

So we’re all ok with the #Drumcree nonsense again??? Children died because of this triumphal shit.

Bloody French, saying what we're all thinking ...

How is this less profitable than old folk holding signs???

While Piddington dominates the news, at Leicester Crown Court this man was sentenced today Ivan Jennings, a former Conservative councillor, called for terror attacks on small boat migrants and Muslims and shared target ideas, telling fellow white supremacists to kill as many “subhumans” as possible

Having super secret feelings about genocide ain’t it, chief.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

If you remember this ad, that music is now playing in your head. For anyone who wasn’t there, it would be hard to describe what a phenomenon this daft ad was. It had the kind of success every oddball ad aspires to achieving.

Devastating news

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

Burnham behaved exactly as expected. British PM behaving as the state want him to is not surprising, but it’s worth noting what that really means in NI. Remember, loyalist paramilitary groups are not seen as terrorist, just helpful

And I'll say it now: more kids have grown up as readers thanks to Dolly than any amount of Harry fucking Potter.

In surprise news, Julie Burchill has got worse

This is a great piece of writing on a grim subject

Prisoner release as part of dealing with a societal issue is not new. We’ve had the debates, & the hierarchy of victims before. GB media continues to ignore anything that’s ever worked in NI

Furious on Disney is really good. The cast are amazing.

I think we're generally much too chill about how mainstream and normal this weird, obsessive anti-Irish stuff is in the UK. #speirgorm

We've gathered together a collection of all things Fleadh and Trad. Featuring many of the legends of Irish music including Sean Maguire, the McPeakes, Sarah Makem and John Doherty. Hours of the best music Ireland has to offer.

Larry laid his mouse in front of the press to be photographed. Lest you ask, this is a real photograph via the Press Association.

Shabana Mahmood staying on as Home Secretary is everything you need to know about Andy Burnham and continuity far-right appeasement.

What are they making the Muppets do now?

What vulgar nonsene

coming home status: isn’t

Ballymena politician on local news horrified & shocked that murders happened in a residential area that’s “mostly owner occupied…” Must only be poor people who kill their wives and daughters

I’m sure this will be a charming vignette in an upcoming series of Peelers
