I was at a wedding over the weekend where the DJ didn't play a single song by the Beastie Boys. How can this keep happening

There's a bit Chris Morris did for his radio show back in the day, where he'd read out a long and ridiculous story that ended with a banal request. In one of them he expresses grief and longing by saying "Christ's fat cock how I ached"

I rarely go a day without thinking of that combination of words

I just wish they would treat the initial mail with the invoice as the first reminder as well

A few clients have give the game by sending me money in an instant after I send a cranky email. If you can do it in an instant now you can do it at any time!

I'm sure he didn't, but the fact she has spoken out against the war is something a staffer is likely to show him at some point in the coming days...

In order to test out the likelihood of this hypothesis, I fed the relevant data into an AI, and in response it generated an image of President Connolly with shamrocks for hands

My most realistic prediction for what might happen on St. Patrick's Day is Trump will say some horrifically offensive things about Catherine Connolly, and MicheΓ‘l will just laugh along.

Anatomy of a X/Twitter social media frenzy. One infulencer posted incessantly about the "Dublin Zoo Scandal" on Friday, it was picked up by other bad faith actors who ran with it. This is manufactured outrage by people who literally do not have anything better to do with their time than promote hate

Just to note: when I say "the zoo is in trouble" I really just mean the biggest freaks are annoyed about something stupid again

Ireland used to be great at creating our own silly moral panics. Now we import them from the yanks.

The correct response is of course "how hot is the other animal when it's dressed as an elephant?"

The zoo is in trouble for using a fella in drag in a promotion for their Mother's Day offer.

One of the comments: "if it was a promotion for elephants, would you use an elephant or another animal dressed as an elephant?"

Imagine thinking that thought & typing it out like you're the normal one

Told the kids in my gaming club the story of ET: The Video Game and the thing that really stuck was they gave one guy 5 weeks to make the entire game
