Cinquecento

The effect of the remarks is such fun too!

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

Sorry for sharing a post from the other website, I know, but JCO's remarks on that website's owner feel like something that'll be narrated over the end credits of a Musk biopic.

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

I think it must be an American thing. Himself and I were in the US and he got snapped while walking our hosts’ dogs. The newspaper caption read “MC stated he was in Jackson on vacation” and for years afterwards we always made quote marks whenever we said “on holiday”.

With the greatest of respect @simonharrisireland.bsky.social You've listed to the right to try mop up the votes of people who burn down the only place some of the most vulnerable people can call home.

You're Nigel fucking Farage.

As an Irish person who was alive in 2008 I can confirm that private businesses only ask sovereign governments to guarantee their financing when business is going really, really well

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

I am far too ‘of my generation’ Irish. I thought this was about etiquette guides for sixth year students. “Ebooks”, I thought. “The notions of those young ones”.

why has the term Big Irish Head become so ubiquitous when 'Gael Skull' was right there all along

Oh they’re lovely, aren’t they. I’m in Darkest West, so can’t get to Dublin, but their online service is brilliant - so quick.

Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day and he thinks Farage is the right man to sort Britain out. He says he reminds him of one of the commanders he fought alongside with distinction. In the next few weeks he's going to auction off his medals and donate all the money to Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

Absolute perfection. #Reform

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Oh yes. We’d hang an apple in the doorway and try to eat it. And we’d peel an apple, hopefully in one piece, throw it over the RIGHT shoulder and see the initial of our future spouse. There was also something with mirrors but I wasn’t old enough to be allowed to play.

If Andrew doesn't escape by horse tonight and board a boat to France, where he will attempt to raise an army against his older brother, then he is more or less admitting the accusations are all true. I'm sorry but that's just the way it works.

I CANNOT like this. The crisps should be Tayto (or Walkers, since you live in the foreign). The bread should, ideally, be from a sliced batch loaf NOT whatever healthy excrescence that is. And too few crisps - the objective is equal layers of crisp and bread.

I will light a candle for you.

I wanted to dance it but could never quite get the steps right. 🙁

They’re trolling him. Quite blatantly.

Best analysis of the presidential election I’ve seen to date - putting in the hard yards actually works, who knew!. #aras25 #waterfordwhispers #speirgorm

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

The constitution worked perfectly. It kept grifters, layabouts, and the ultra entitled off the ballot paper, and saved us weeks of racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic dog whistles in the process.

You wanted to be on the ballot? You had 7 years to figure out your plan. #spoofers #aras25

Well no. She went with the fib about her campaign director, and doubled down on the cab rank rule, and argued that she really didn’t have to use Irish as minister for the Gaeltacht (even though she’d promised to learn it). That’s not the actions of a “decent” woman. So, sorry, but no.

The prophecy has been foretold!! ;)

Don’t be complacent - get out and vote - we’re being told it’s in the bag so people aren’t voting😢

I love audiobooks, I really do. I can accomplish so much while listening to them: knitting, housework, cooking. But occasionally I’m BOUNCED out of bookworld by mispronunciation. Today’s one is “berrybond”. That’s NOT how to pronounce “beribboned”, and nit even the divine Welsh accent will save you.

It’s very Lady Catherine de Bourgh, isn’t it? I mean “ If I had ever learnt [to play an instrument], I should have been a great proficient.”.

Hailed? HARMED.

Lovely. Now do Israel. Or do we only do sanctions when white people are being hailed?
