I wrote this about the thundering charlatan who's shackled America to his incompetence. On planes falling from the sky, and asteroid impacts at full speed and slow motion. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

In October, I had a very long chat with Alan Moore. On magick, sci-fi, the perils of ecological doomerism, the joy of occultist pranks, the psychogeography of Stoke Newington, the invention of the taser - and much more! As a Christmas treat here it is IN FULL. seamas.medium.com/its-a-rabbit...

Until recently, I talked all the time about how weird it was to be the top Google search result for 'ketamine president'. Turns out it's much, much, much weirder to no longer be the top Google search result for 'ketamine president'.

A Kurdish woman asked to be buried “in a handful of soil” in Ireland – but her body was sent to Turkey anyway. In a note she left behind, she’d written, “Do not give my corpse to the oppressors.” More here: dublininquirer.com/2025/02/19/a...

Imagine you wrote a school principal known as 'the head from hell', the kind of cold-hearted sociopath who does interviews about how much he likes giving children Saturday detentions, and you called him Ebenezer. You'd be killed. You'd be murdered by the writing police. And they'd be right to do it.

I wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

People are clowning on this but if you were actually AT Music Valley in the early days, you'd know there was never a business-forward, Encarta-core psytrance festival like it, before or fucking since.

News Letter going after Stonewall. This publication, one of the oldest in the world, is the worst in Northern Ireland when it comes to queer coverage. It's no coincidence that it is also a Unionist/Loyalist paper. www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politic...

This is horrible and depressing but also very semiotically confused. This is surely the sign you'd settle on if you wanted to ban people from saying that the GAA is the sporting wing of the IRA.
