George Wendt, who played the affable, beer-loving barfly Norm on the hit 1980s TV comedy Cheers and later crafted a stage career that took him to Broadway in Art, Hairspray and Elf, has died aged 76

A 93-year-old disabled man was sprayed in the face with synthetic pepper spray before being shot by a Taser and hit with a baton, by police officers responding to a call at his care home, a court in Britain has heard

Challenged on Gaza, American politicians openly say “starve away!”. European politicians, in contrast, say “Enough!” But: Both keep sending Israeli leaders more bombs. People in Gaza can’t eat Europeans’ nice words. But they *are* dying from Europeans’ deadly bombs.

I just got a YouTube ad asking me to vote for a Eurovision contestant, no country mentioned. I looked it up. It’s Israel. They’re running paid ads to win votes while hiding who they are. You can’t whitewash genocide with a song. Especially when the song is trash 🗑️

Know they're supposed to be relaxing but those hushed clicky-clacky wet-mouth-noise lip-popping breathy-whispering nail-tapping dry-skinned-finger-rubbing ASMR videos make me want to crawl out of my own skin

What have they been doing up to now?

Dr Paddy Sleeman: Historically, Cork has always been home to otters – we have records of an otter attacking a US serviceman in the city centre during World War I Featuring Chris Moody aka @saveourbrideotters.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

He is risen

The alt text never fails.

If a fraction of influencers and celebrities spent as much time talking about Respectable men in suits that are suffocating us all for profit and power instead of the "Untalked-About" topic of immigration that gets yapped about non-stop, energy might start being pointed in the right direction.

Irish Gov might want to have a handy Burke explainer ready for Americans & their media - possibly using sock puppets and very short words. And the US Ambassador, WH and State Department should be forewarned that a FREE SPEECH! Enoch ambush will not be welcomed.

"Spraying in a theatre near you"

Would be nice if the government could maybe build a few homes with those millions before using it to play soldiers

No amount of woke scolding from the most annoying people imaginable has ever made me consider abandoning my core principle of seeing all people as equal human beings

Do you like music? If so, you'll love Ian Whitty and the Exchange, and their new song.

I would like to know less about America

Imagine this for a fucking classic, a foundational film that influenced so much after it?

3 of our bikes robbed outside the flat at the bookmarking on Washington St since summer. There’s one bike shed unused (as far as I know) in Patrick’s St since it was installed, any chance it could be moved? @theformerdanboyle.bsky.social

If, like me, you did NOT receive the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty of good land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print instead - a hape of discounts across the shop, including on value bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON. www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

I watched George Lee reporting on the RTE news about #StormEowyn He spoke of this being “the worst storm for 80 years, it might be 80 years until we see one like it”. NOT A MENTION, of #ClimateChange nothing. He sat in front of an image of a buckled wind turbine, with his eyes wide shut.

This mentions a Rhododendron Walking Festival supported by Tipp council. Of all the ways to enjoy nature and the outdoors, a festival celebrating one of the most damaging invasive species is pretty odd.

Deeply wrong. The mission statement of the Auschwitz memorial is to preserve the memory of the crimes commited. When you don't arrest a person that the highest international criminal court is accusing of genocide, then you are erasing the memory of crimes.

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

The icy grip of winter will soon past & the weather warm. Birds will sing & woods sound like orchestral practise again. This musician reminds me of Summer & is now available in my Etsy Goldfinch (2021) | Original ink on paper drawing by Robert Bohan

LEAVE US ALONE we don’t like to be rushed

Lose all respect for groups or organisations using AI generated imagery. The lack of imagination, the devaluing of art and photography, the corner-cutting and cheapness of it. Would rather have photos of coddle stapled to my eyeballs.

More Ai slop! That egg looks like it's straight out of a packet of Haribo.
