I was an enthusiastic supporter for the celeb #BlueOrigin rocket jaunt up until the point I learned of the intention to return these people to earth.

"Dublin is more dangerous now" Shut up you big baby. I grew up in Dolphins Barn in the late 80s/early 90s and it was absolutely wild. Our house was burgled seven times before I was twelve. My dad owned a shop and kept a shotgun out the back it was so dangerous. Lmao.

There’s a Turkish phrase about the upside of hitting rock bottom being that things can’t get any worse. It goes göte giren şemsiye açılmaz and it means “an umbrella up one’s ass cannot be opened”

I (finally) wrote about why Sinn Féin lost the Irish election. Check it out! (Spoilers for the impatient: yes, it was immigration - but no, the party should not have pivoted to the right.)

Would have been Jack Lemmon’s hundredth birthday today. Not just one of the great actors, but also possessor of the best gravestone in existence.

WOW! Have you seen all those posts calling Trump ‘Genocide Don’ or the Free Palestine protests outside the White House today? Yeah, me neither.

During Trump’s first presidency I realized Trump only cared about two things 1. The stock market 2. Positive Fox News coverage Every action could be evaluated based on that rubric. I forgot about it in the recent tariff drama but in hindsight he obviously wasn’t going to go through with it.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

I started watching Severance and was so confused. i warmed to it, though: a bold directorial decision to start mid-action, reflecting the characters' experiences! love a show that challenges the audience. OK well it turns out my husband had already watched the first five episodes on my account
