The Dublin Ghostbus That Never Arrived

YouTube video by Michael Fry (BigDirtyFry) The Monster Mash but it's an Irish Ballad

I have called every radio station in this godforsaken country to play my favourite Spooky Season song and they refuse. Put @bigdirtyfry.bsky.social on the airwaves you cowards

Yeah like I think its beyond disgraceful to take an “it’s hopeless” attitude

I have said it before but Micheál Martin’s open contempt for being asked to do the bare minimum as Taoiseach to rectify this country’s major problems shows that for all FFFG maintain veneers of “respectability”, they’ve taken lessons from Trump et al that “you don’t have to respect your citizens”

Anything is better than bombing and forcibly starving Palestinians but it feels disturbingly notable that this completely removes access to the Rafah Crossing, meaning Gaza is surrounded by the IDF on all sides

Friel-wheelers

The claim is that a resumption of the war following the prisoner exchange is not permitted by the framework and that the US issued guarantees to Qatar and Egypt on this point, but famously both Biden and Trump admins have in reality given Israel significant latitude to violate ceasefires (Lebanon).

Blur’s The Great Escape and Jason Isbell’s Southeastern are both good examples here

The next person who I see saying it’s “sectarian” to say the Orange Order (an organisation that is explicitly sectarian and promotes sectarianism) is bad is getting added to a list called “I Want to Debate About Gavin Newsom”

Post by Ritchie Crave saying A fun thing you can do right now is to reach out to an American friend and tell them that an Irish Presidential Candidate, from the political party currently in power, had to pull out of the race because he withheld €3,300 from a former tennant 16 years ago and watch their faces twitch in envy. Response by Desamii @desamii.bsky.social Saying: It's shabby to make fun of suffering Americans. Spend the time figuring out what you, as a voting citizen, are doing against gerrymandering. You know, America likes to export its "culture" to other countries effectively. So you will need it in future election.

If only we had some recent experiences of Gerrymandering on this island. Too bad history only happened in America

The mother sent me a FB reel (likely thing for her to be doing) of some wanker from Navan in a tractor mouthing off about the Irish flotilla participants “not caring about the homeless” and truly the greatest scourge of this country is the “farmer who fancies himself a podcaster”

There was technical graphics teacher in our school who it was rumoured had been on a game show and that he had lost out by answering “Dennis Thatcher” to some question. This led to people yelling “BEEEEPPPP Dennis Thatcher” at him and it made him so mad he used to smash T-squares over his desk

Find myself in the unusual situation of eating my dinner in Eddie Rockets and I feel like the young fella from Waterford who does the takeaway reviews and responds to everything “Jaysus that’s fair nice now”

I fail to see how any of the posters aren’t meeting this definition exactly.

Futurama “days since last” meme. It reads “Days since an American attached their centrist virtue-signalling to an unrelated post then had a hissy fit about it”.

‘Jim Gavin withdrawal’ is one of the possibly serious side effects of a poorly-organised presidential election campaign

So is it just a universal truth of human existence that the very moment you have your shit together your teeth start acting the bollocks

He's had a few.

Each of us dreams of the ways we could fuck up our ex-landlord’s shit but “publicly ending their nascent political career in ignominy over money they owe you” is an S-tier outcome

it’s jimver

Are you Canadians happy now? The man feels like he isn’t an important enough ‘Gavin’ to be considered for the office of president!

Too obvious?

My heart will always say Different People by Biffy Clyro cause it’s my favourite song of all time but from a clearheaded standpoint it’s Purple Rain
