Forgot about this picture of my cat

He's right, they'll also be paying more for rent in the short and long term

*me seeing a guy called Zach Bryan is playing 3 nights in the park this weekend* "I've never even heard of him, I'm so old!" *me reading he's an American country singer* "Ah ok I'm not that old"

Israel banked on loads of world leaders forgetting about the genocide cause they decided to start bombing a different neighbouring country, and it has completely worked.

I've written an article laying out my arguments for an extension of Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts. It crosses some of topics I've covered in other blogs, but I wanted to cover all these points in a single piece. oisinmcgann.com?p=5733&previ... #BasicIncomeForTheArts #UniversalBasicIncome

I have written and produced a children's sci-fi radio series called "Galaxy Fest" for RTE Jr, starring a cast of kids I came across through my various school workshops, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with the world over the coming days & weeks. Think Futurama for kids, but on the radio.

"These are the same people who will say they are afraid of Dublin’s O’Connell St in the daytime, mocking those who stand up to oppression or genocide."

I'm reminded of the line in the South Park movie where Kyle's mom says "horrific, deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!"

Yep, this very short scene was my nightmare fuel for years, and I didn't even know what film it was from till I older

Reading this at the minute and loving it

Never has this quote been more appropriate

You can see the legacy of the famine in so many ways around Ireland. In our people, in our culture, in our infrastructure, in the fact the population declined so much Paul Reid is the only man available for any job

Nice freudian slip from Sharon Ní Bheoláin there on the 9 o'clock news, referring to the the homelessness crisis as "the hopelessness crisis"

Before you get angry at this, important to remember there are only about 8 people living in Ireland

See you all later for a good aul natter and chin wag!

Not sure the song but Ed Sheeran has one with a line "on cold days cold plays out like the band's name"

Getting serious "Pope visits Ireland in 2018" vibes from the Trump parade photos (derogatory)

Incredible to be trotting out the line "this topic affects me personally as I have lived experience of not being aborted"

As I was saying... "This isn't a u-turn, it's an upside down lower case n-turn!"

You can blame online misinformation all you want, but as long as you have a justice minister boasting about deportations, and far right groups are setting up stall outside schools to harass foreign students and parents to little pushback, no misinformation is needed for the racists to do their thing

Simon Harris vowing to get young people talking and laughing again. As well as the complete misdiagnosis of the issue, the ego in think they can be the ones to get young people talking & laughing "again" I work in schools, the young talk and laugh loads, & are rarely on their phones during class!

Can I just go on the record and say if I ever die due to swallowing a bee while playing polo, you have my permission to crack jokes at my expense

My Girl, Howard Zieff, 1991

People love to make fun of Greta Thunberg and Paul Murphy for being “sanctimonious” or doing “publicity stunts” and it always baffles me because they’re literally acting on their values and beliefs and actually trying to do something as opposed to columnists who do literally fuck all.

I find people willingly doing this in the paper more confusing that the people who show up in Nathan Fielder's work

Had a piece about daydreaming on The Business this morning, in which I crammed as many references to daydreaming from various media as I possibly could www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

We were finally released late last night at airport. Police still have our phones. We are back in Cairo and meeting shortly to decide next steps. We're focused on Israel's genocide and starvation of Gaza. Thanks for your support. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸🇵🇸 #GlobalMarchToGaza

The rain means Morgan is unlikely to have his glorious day in the sun today. The scouts from Hollywood will most likely stay home. Instead of a franchise starring this fine cat, it'll be more Marvel movies and endless Fast and Furious sequels. Think of what could have been.

Just an example of the sick "comedy" we fathers have to tolerate on Father's Day. If you see a father tomorrow, be sure to put an arm around him and tell him his farts aren't smelly. Even if they are, that's nothing to do with being a father, probably an intestinal thing.

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my family thinking it would be a great laugh to give me a Father's Day card that insinuated my farts are especially smelly I'm putting this on the record: MY FARTS ARE NOT ESPECIALLY SMELLY, & these types of "funny" cards are actually an acute form of bullying

Hahahahahahaha I've said it before, but as long as politicians and media are willing to do insanely transparent 180s without ever admitting they were even a tiny bit wrong, we won't get far

"Irish society is not immune to racism or bigotry, but compassion remains a bedrock value" This is such exceptionalism bullshit, and a big part of the reason so many weren't ready for the way things have gone. You don't hear many people saying "Ireland's not a racist country" anymore

The kids think they're having fun drawing on the path with chalk, but really they were bold earlier so I'm going to call the council and report them
