I’ve been living alone for nearly two months now and while there are good and bad sides to it the most remarkable thing is how often I find myself doing things while naked. Boiling a kettle, for example. Or frying rashers. You wouldn’t believe the things you can achieve while naked in your own home

the state of the US now is like... Steve Bannon does a Nazi salute and at least 50% of Americans think that's good, because they're Nazis, and the most Dems are prepareed to say is like "um, I think you'll find that's actually a Nazi salute?" as if the other Americans are cheering it on by accident.

Instagram could REALLY use a feature that tells you if a story was posted less than a minute ago so you don't look like a freak for seeing it after 12 seconds.

I am furious that decent people are embarrassed by their substandard housing, as if they made bad life choices instead of being victims of an exploitative system. This is EXACTLY how FFG wants us to feel because it deflects from their repeated failures. This failure is 100% theirs, not ours.

One thing about the Paddy's Day stuff this year is that Elon Musk is now in charge and has already repeatedly tried to intervene in Irish elections, legislation and tech policy. So I hope our ministers are prepared for the possibility that they will be intentionally and publicly humiliated this time

Violence against women is a core plank in the modern-day conservative platform. The likes of Trump and Musk are actively seeking out rapists, abusers, etc who they can promote or help out or install in positions of power.

'Martin’s bilingually bellicose approach was compounded when McDonald appealed to Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy to intervene, only for it to become clear that the Murphy hadn’t a clue what Martin had just said.' Here is this week's Surrealing! Enjoy!

i think all those people who comment 'the substance' on pictures of an older famous person standing beside a younger famous person who looks sort of like them may have missed the point of 'the substance'

asked @silviap.bsky.social (who's learnin Irish on duolingo) what she thought "ag insint bréaga" might be and she guessed it first try (knew the verb and guessed the noun by context) you'd hope the ceann comhraile would be making as much effort for an príomhteanga náisiúnta

If Liverpool blow the league against a team whose only goal threats are centre-backs, left-backs and CDMs I will be in a very very bad place.

Our @carlkinsella.bsky.social is on fire this week. Because this is Bluesky, I should probably clarify that I don't mean that literally, it's an expression. Surrealing in the Years: Ná bí ag insint bréaga, le do thoil jrnl.ie/6622635
