My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.

New Trump Guy just dropped.

Going to be very wary the next time someone asks to 'have the chats' with me....

Eponymictionary Medical Eponym Library. Eponymictionary database of medical eponym: person, place, or thing after whom/which something is named

Having an unreasonable amount of fun reading about which body parts are named after surgeons. Irish surgeons did a *lot* of anatomical work on genitalia....

If I'm doing alt text, I'm being silly in it

This reminds me of my former boss’s constant refrain of “you can’t say anything these days” and then when I said someone leaving money to the Catholic Church in their will was like rubbing fat into the sows arse he became indignant to the point of tears

Slogan "This Is What Makes Us Cork" above 1 coat of arms (of Cork city council) and 2 logos. One is barely legible and says 'Sustainable Development Goals', the other bears the legend 'We are Cork'. It's aesthetically yuck and not even formatted nicely

Sluán "Is é seo Eisint ár gCorcaíochais". Cén fáth go bhfuil phríomh litir ar eisint? an Gearmánaigh sinn?

Well. Or even, bhuel.

Could this simply a case of *adjusts false teeth, winces at lumbago* - popular music being led by the young, who don’t have time for your posturing bullshit, Billy?

In our postgraduate work room we have a ‘Dark Library’ where we put dodgy or offensive books. One of Uta Frith’s books on autism is there. We take it down to laugh as most of us are neurodivergent, but it does say something about how seriously you should take her opinions on autism.

Omg that's so cute.

Eschatology in the 90s was going like "well everything has a bar code now, maybe that's the Mark of the Beast" and in 2026 a man with a mirthless grin named "MrBeast" is beckoning your children to trust him

Always a pleasure to hear @dedalusdenaries.bsky.social speak about his writing. So thoughtful and fluent and rich in consideration.

Here he is in conversation with John Brannigan at the launch of Late Heaney @hodgesfiggis.bsky.social this evening.

We want to be able to live in the Gaeltacht and live our lives through the medium of Irish, the Gaeltacht's young generation demanded today at a protest outside Leinster House.

In Night of the Living Dead, an already dangerous situation is made 10 times worse by the incompetent white guy insisting on taking the leadership role while shouting down those with better ideas.
That's what it feels like to live through tumultuous times under Fine Fáil and Fine Gael #Spéirgorm

Good afternoon from the Kingdom 🌞

I never worry more about the state of the press than when I want to buy a certain paper on a certain day (usually because I have a piece in it) and I often end up having to do multiple shops to find a copy, and really start wracking my brain when needing to find a plan C or D

She's very pretty but also a menace who eats my plants and books.

The #speirgorm x bridgerton crossover I didn't know I needed til now, thank you @richycraven.bsky.social

I haven't listened but I know I can't take anymore women describing how they were failed, again and again. It never seems to end because the powers-that-be never fix anything!

She's not wrong that this is a very scrappy draft!

What do you mean the Viki app on Roku "may crash or fail to open?" We're ankle deep in WWIII and I need to escape into a historical drama with a strong female lead. #viki #kdrama #cdrama

A black greyhound with a white blaze stares at an owner it thinks is dumb as a box of rocks.

Dog is weighing up my efforts and finding them wanting.

What a great thread

How am I supposed to yearn for a HEA in #OurUniverse when the FL doesn't deserve either the adorable baby or the capable in-law? She needs to do something huge to redeem herself.

It's v funny to me that the US, which I think of as ultra modern, isn't into the most basic of kitchen appliances, the electric kettle
