My wife is very kind. She also insisted I read the instructions, very very thoroughly.

Made a fish curry last night using fish-curry masala someone gave us for Christmas. Added a conservative three teaspoons of the masala. It is inedibly, throat-searingly hot. Super tasty, but waaaaay too hot for my feeble Irish face. So much yoghurt was required. So much.

My wife does not let me use scary devices like reciprocating saws. Your wife is very kind.

I loved the person who characterized that kid's "awoo-woo" noise as an "interruption" to Mamdani's points. His team built a little podium for the kids and gave them a microphone so they could join in. It was not an interruption. The kids were the draw.

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

‘I’m just sickened by it all’: Chunk of pitch and putt course swept away by wild weather Chairman says it is ‘heartbreaking’ to see more and more of the Laytown, Co Meath club’s land being lost to coastal erosion

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

as soon as you become a political correspondent in America they take you into a little room in the White House and hit you on the head with a mallet until you lose the ability to retain long-term memories.

"After taking a wrong turn, the ArchdukeTaoiseach's carriage was crossing the Rosie Hackett Bridge when a deranged drag queen on a bicycle rode by with a potato gun. A shot rang out! The little nub of potato found its mark.

War had begun"

I see people posting about THE LAST JEDI and I don't know why, but it's a good reminder that it was the best Star Wars film of the modern age.

I love “why did you want to be part of SNL UK?” Um, because I want to pay rent and eat food, please.

Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs HONOLULU–In an announcement with grave implications for the primacy of the species of man, marine biologists at the Hawaii Oceanographic Institute reported Monday that dolphins, or family Delphinidae,...

What's black and white and red all over?

An orca bathed in the crimson glow of a yacht they just set on fire.

Not the first to say this but there really should be a way to say "never show me cheery photo montages from this period of time" because not every time you're taking lots of photos with friends and family is a good time.

Are people supposed to have a whipround to fund a town's flood defences. Find a builder who can get it done as a nixer? How do they keep getting re-elected over and over?

All of Michael Martin's statements these days are just "we can't deliver flood relief", "we can't deliver climate reform", "we can't deliver transport infrastructure", "we can't criticise the US"

What can you deliver

What is the point of you

Amazing coda here.

This, but also I'm just not convinced the machines are even at the point where they could win the imitation game.

Two articles in the @irishtimes.com today sum up that the Irish housing affordability crisis is a class crisis

Truly shocking* how all the Important Men in academia, the media and business whom women said were really sex pest centrists - at best! - for many years now all turned out to be outright pedophile Nazis.

Ah sequel to the classic

Saw this on Instagram earlier, and it floored me.

You need to stay for the entire 19 seconds...

A set of four cake pops that read HAPPY VALENTINES DAY; The first has H, VA, and D; The second has A LEN A; the third has PP TIN Y; the last has Y ES <3. A cartoon below shows a very sad hamster holding up the one that reads PP TINY

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Husband was looking at some humorously named cat treats that Smidge got for Christmas.
Me: I didn't buy those.
Husband: No, I know, because all the food you buy for the animals is called things like "COMPLETE CAT FOOD NUTRIENTS MEAT".

The poster for a Netflix show called Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole that includes the tagline "Not every devil hides in the dark." Tobias Santelmann, who plays Detective Hole, is in the foreground. Joel Kinnaman is in the background sans old man makeup. This is all made funnier by the possessive, as well as the fact that the character's full name is Harry Hole.

These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

So it is the King's evil counsellors that are to blame.

Eyes nearly popping out of my head with fury, teeth gritted until they bleed voice “Sep Blatter welcome to the resistance.”
