Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

What does it mean to be of Ireland? Ireland is distilled into an essence at this time of year, from Shamrock shakes to emerald green rivers

Wouldn't know, as I'm from Cork, like...

ai is driving people to suicide, but it also destroys the wages and working conditions of multiple industries without adding real value, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not

The influencers leaping to Dubai’s defence [FREE TO READ] As missiles streak across the region, unfazed residents insist they β€˜know who protects us’

β€˜British expats, he claimed, were refusing to fill out evacuation forms provided by the British government β€œjust in case it somehow turns into a tax form instead”.’

No notes.

Will be interesting to see if the Irish Gov will get away with the traditional 'Ah Lads, isn't it awful?' approach to the hilariously blantant Price Gouging around petrol, diesel etc #Iran

I always wonder if there's an actual breaking point for Irish consumers...

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

This is insane on so many levels - but congrats to the people who decided there was no need to do a proper investigation - true public servants, all (and of course, there's a Donegal angle)

Ten points for the Simpsons reference.
Minus 75 points for not realizing it was an expression of the character's evil nature (for which he was subsequently punished). youtu.be/I1QGDjQfzxM?...

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his faultπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look

If you’re ever feeling like you’re shit at your job, just take a look at how few fucks Picasso gave when painting this dog. Sometimes done is good enough.

There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.

As bad as the entire situation in Iran is, the way it’s being communicated about to our troops is even worse.

At least 200 members of the U.S. Armed Services have filed complaints alleging that military commanders have used extremist Christian rhetoric to justify the war with Iran.

I would like to hang out on a social media site with many many more people like Henry and many many fewer people like the blue-anon slogan shouter he is addressing. Where is that site? Calgon take me away.
