Chuir an snáithe seo brón mór orm. Is mise an t-aon duine amháin ag caint le m'iníon as Gaeilge (agus níl 100% den ama) ach is cosúil go bhfuil brú ar an teanga fiú le páistí i ngaeilscoileanna. Mór an trua.

The RTÉ player froze as Parrott ran into the box. Unfroze amid the celebrations.
Magic. Great job, RTÉ 👏

This is how you get cancelled.

It's mad. I even see it with my parents and my daughter. They're always saying to me "would you not wait until she's a bit older? It's just going to confuse her."
It runs deep. I think it just brings up a lot of painful memories for them. They can't really imagine actually *enjoying* wearing them.

Either way, I always struggle with the tuiseal ginideach nuair a bhímse ag labhairt Gaeilge.

it's a traditional Irish piece of headwear.

constantly explaining to my foreign friends that, in Ireland, zogabongs at a funeral isn't disrespectful.

The front cover of a Richard Scarry picture book with lots of cute anthropomorphic animals going about their day.

I'm convinced this sneaky cat peeking over the fence is a reference to the grassy knoll and some Very Important Pig is about to get offed.

seans go mbeidh sé beagán 🤏 gnóthach ag plé leis an cúige Uladh.

Blueshirts always side with the fash. It's the entire foundation of the party.

what lights are being switched on please

Wouldn’t expect to make €800 in 24 hours but any sales at all help reduce our debt!

We pay rent tomorrow, and even if the Rent-O-Meter doesn’t reach its goal we’ll still pay rent. Just a combination of help from family and taking on more debt.

The bigger issue is water getting under the tiles now. That thing should definitely be back where it belongs (if it is flashing).

A roof with lead flashing for waterproofing

Yeah, probably lead. Could be a hip or ridge

Could *possibly* be lead roof flashing. Is it heavy but surprisingly bendy?

But that can be explained in 30 words. No need for an infinite amount of videos explaining it at length.

🤞 Got a good feeling about this🤞

I want to grab the internet by the shoulders, look it right in the eye and say I. DO. NOT. CARE what Americans think of British snacks or Irish names. I don't care what British people think of American building practices. PLEASE stop putting this shit in front of me.

wow.

It's bonkers. I regularly see some amazing, classic goal on IG or YouTube with people in the comments saying it's AI. Like, you know you can look it up. The players names are mentioned in the commentary and on their jerseys. But then, I suppose I'd prefer scepticism over credulity..

I feel like a ham going around in my big coat but it's just a post-halloween habit.

Is MINIC a chloisim "oh, daddys turn today" agus mé ag siúl timpeall le m'iníon. Ó fir agus mná. An rud is annamh is mearbhlach, b'fhéidir.
Dála an scéil; bhí mé sa tóir ar focal/frása do "stay at home dad": Fear tí, fear maith tí, fear tí cois teallaigh (!)... cad é an eagrán is coitianta?

Art buds; Are any of ye using Procreate for work?

I don't mean to be glib about peoples gender and identity but it's stuff like this that really makes me wish I was something else. Like, straight middle-aged man, but not THIS. Not this. Anything but this.

When I was in college we'd call them the "Would I be right in saying.." lads.
Just wanting to make sure everybody at the talk understands that this fella *already* knows this stuff and wants to hear the expert validate them publicly.

I've had to do some Photoshop work recently and I hadn't realised just how shite the painting tools are compared to Procreate. Frustratingly bad.

I like the boingy kind of feeling in it. Like elastic bands being twanged.

These things are a cooler idea than they are practically useful.

Look, we know that there’s thousands of homes left intentionally vacant by investment funds to inflate the market. We know that we’ve rejected the advice of every report/research since the 2008 crash.

But have you considered that it might be refugees?
