Didn't think I'd have another example of unusual language from the government about arts-related spending issues already... First from my Sunday Times column: www.thetimes.com/article/95d5... (second screengrab from: www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...)

government's response to overspend on construction projects w/ opw and children's hospital: "what can we do? it's all out of our hands" government's response to overspend in the arts sector: "this is pretty much a crime and someone shall die before the stroke of midnight to pay for this"

One of the cats learns a new form of chaos every three hours and is so intelligent that she will eventually invent a cat political movement. The other one has exactly one thing which is picking stuff up and bringing it around. He will be the armed wing I guess.

Hey me and my friends all saw you go to the wrong side of the train thinking incorrectly that the doors would open at that platform and not this one. And we just wanted to say we think you’re a moron

Don’t make me tap the sign (the sign says if you want the state to fund good art that “works” you probably have to fund some art that “fails” as well)

People are always like ‘no one had anxiety before modernity’ and Wikipedia pages of pre-20th century figures are always like “he was startled by the sight of an unseemly looking duck [4], whereupon he died of horror [5],[6]”

I was in unnamed v popular city centre pub yday afternoon and I don’t know. I think it’s time Dublin had a loudmouthed publican with a lot of opinions about how to be in the pub. Why are you all streaming the match on your phone in silence, what are you doing here exactly

It's crazy being in your mid-30s in Dublin. I mean socially you are just caught between two worlds - some days you're Frances and Bobby, and others you're Melissa and Nick.

A number of prominent UK Conservatives' statements about Donald Trump resemble one of those news stories that begins with a magazine feature about a new age mystic who believes he can talk to bears and ends with a newspaper article about a new age mystic being mauled to death by bears.

I know I'm Irish-pilled from my four (4) classes at the Conradh but it is actually crazy to have a Ceann Comhairle who doesn't speak Irish when TDs are regularly speaking Irish in the Dáil. Bad decision

www.irishtimes.com/environment/... textile recycling is not what we'd like it to be really - it's mostly just dumping old clothes into the developing world - the only way to avoid this is buy a lot (like a lot) less

Capel Street has become one of my favourite streets in Dublin since they've banned cars. It's become a lovely place to hang out, in ways that just weren't possible before.

The FT should give people working in the arts free subscriptions. Like eg Soho House. I don't have an economic argument for this it's more vibes-based reasoning
