Wow. I've never seen a comment that makes me want to buy a book more. Let us fackin' go! 🥳

Gold! The dark green has set the whole thing up for it. What colour are you thinking for the furniture?

Yup, it was amazing. What an odd vision to sell... a world where you don't have a kitchen at you're at the mercy of takeaway prices.

daily on my mind

A few online orders or in-store book purchases would be a nice way to support Books Upstairs after this horrible attack. Who does this? To an independent book shop?

To the people saying it’s undemocratic that their preferred candidate didn’t get a nomination for president: local and national elections are and always have been an option for them. And arguably more effective than the role of president when it comes to deciding policy and affecting daily lives.

You can see it's really only a small crowd to the right of the camera. It sounds louder due to proximity. Could it be Israel themselves? The US? ... I can't think of anyone else that supportive of Israel 😂

#StrangeNewWorlds series 3 is committing some solid hate crimes with the state of their space Guinness. If Wham! can survive intact, I assume a creamy head on a Guinness can too! Harumpf! And in the token Irish character episode too! #outrage #BringBackPicard #StarTrek etc etc.

Cartoon of 2 houses. The one on the left has a couple of trees with a mowed, green lawn with a caution sign about pesticides. The soil under the lawn is shown as tan with no critters. The house on the right has lots of trees, shrubs, & flowers. There are birds and butterflies, and a kid playing with a dog. The soil under the lawn is dark brown with worms and bugs. Two men are talking over a wooden fence between the houses. The guy on the right says, "Well, Jim... it all started with the pesticide-free native plants..."

For so many reasons, it’s time to rethink the “perfect” lawn. We can transform our yards, our communty properties, local school yards, & more into bird & pollinator-friendly habitat.

If you're intending to vote in the Irish presidential election, you have until October 7th to register or change your details on the electoral register.

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

@paulscheer.com I was surprised neither you nor Amy mentioned the Anvil documentary in the Spinal Tap episode. For years it's felt like both the real life Spinal Tap & the Spinal Tap sequel, but with Canadians.

The ones with the individual toes or the ones that are really flat and wide?

I was disappointed that when Ben Shapiro couldn't figure out why so many diverse groups were uniting to march for Palestine in London he didn't say "genocide. The reason is genocide." Or challenge the statement that they were all pro-Hamas. It's a journalist's job to question this stuff.

Have you tried moving on to the ducks?

The most successful way I've met people is through DnD and then boardgames. So I guess that's the hobby bucket people keep going on about.

@ezraklein.bsky.social I wish you'd pushed on Ben Shapiro's inability to see what was uniting all of those protestors in London. The elephant in the room must have been wearing Predator camo-tech.

Wait... you're going to be at a cognitive disadvantage for not wearing something that does work for you? This is the opposite of what brain training on the DS told us! My money is on Nintendo over Meta any day.

And knowing the US version of The Traitors with all its reality tv "celebs" is the worst version of the show, there are hours of great TV ahead catching up with the other versions ☺️

God I hate reading chatty blogpost type things that are clearly written by an LLM. I think there are good uses for LLMs! But not for lifestyle/personal essay style writing which is ALL ABOUT VOICE. Ugh. This post brought to you by having been suckered into paying for an LLM-written thing.

Wow, thank you magical Bluesky discover feed and Kim Tracy Price! I had no idea this existed and I am so damn curious.

Absolutely amazed that @irishtimes.com likely spoiled the Traitors tonight for many by having not only the result in the headline but also having the banished person in the image. Avoid. Unfollow. Who knows when they might strike next. Folks we've had news on social media for years 😝 #TraitorsIRL

Jaysis you wouldn't want to be trying to avoid spoilers. FFS Irish Times, that's an unfollow from me.

Oh I'm just blocking you, who takes the effort to rewrite rather than repost. Nobody needs that sort of contribution in their feed.

The yank brain epidemic has struck the Taoiseach it seems. What an absolutely bizarre thing to feel compelled to comment on

#TraitorsIRL has been unbelievably good. Think that's about it.

Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?

I'm amazed no self awareness was gained between being banished and appearing on the sofa. You'd think watching it all back would spark some revelations, but no. Not a great personality trait unfortunately. Delighted with how tonight played out 😌 #TraitorsIRL

A man of constant sorrow was a song well before the movie though... right? Of all the songs to chose. How can I trust anything else they say?
