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

"Opening in the tragic aftermath of the heist-gone-wrong, Aontas unfolds backwards, chapter by chapter to unravel the events that led to this point." 👀

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

H.R. 7761, also known as the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act", would give politicians control over what is being read by anyone under 18 years old.
In light of current events, I should think Congress would have bigger fish to fry on this subject.

Why does the council take so long to renovate homes when so many are in need of a home
And why do they make our streets feel like prisons with these horrible hoardings

Persuaded 2 friends to buy rice cookers and now I get regular updates on their lives with their new appliances. Good rice is life changing.

Possibly turning my bookclub into a #kdrama group - tonight's discussion will be on Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell and #TheTrunk

Tremendous piece on a subject most Irish people never even give a thought to, but has huge impact on so many immigrants’ lives. Please read and share #speirghorm

This. Exactly this.

No thoughts to rebalancing the system, taxing the wealthy, diversifying trade, rebuilding infrastructure, moving from cyclical market economics...

Just putting things back to what suited Civil War voters the handiest. And we're suffering.

Is the funniest part in Undercover Miss Hong when everyone insists #ParkShinHye looks ancient or when #KimWonHae chews the scenery?

Best Anne Enright punchline:

'I am also not turned on by bonobos.'

Are they getting bored not using the ones we already have?
