The Irish mammies will soon be heard saying: "This house goes through toilet paper like the French go through Prime Ministers!"

Look, I'm no Etsy witch, but back when he rolled out the smoking ban, a very cranky, early-20s me put a lot of hexes on Micheál Martin, and there's a non-zero chance some of them are starting to pay out.

A vampire must be invited into a house. Isn't that just how houses work?

As Miriam O’Callaghan and Sarah McInerney are chairing the debate on the 21st I'm fairly sure it'll now qualify as passing the Bechdel test. #aras25

Ah!

Was it really as early as February? I feel like we chose to go only a couple of months before the festival.

AI Boosters: "AIs are people."

Me: "Oh, so we should give them 40-hour weeks, holidays, and weekends off?"

AI Boosters: "No, no, not like that!"

Amazing scenes here. A Ryanair plane got blown so far off course, it actually landed at the city it said it was flying to.

🇵🇸 Amazing! 180 civil society organisations have endorsed our National March for Palestine. Join us, 12.30pm. We march for sanctions on apartheid Israel and to show our unbreakable solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers. All out! #FreePalestine #SanctionsNow 🇵🇸

Her account hasn't posted in 10 months but I swear it used to happen.

There was a time the head of the RTE Player team would appear if you gave out about it on Bluesky.

I'd murder a Starbar and a cup of tea right now.

COINCIDENCE???

Why is The Guardian even reporting on this? Just let Musk rant away on his echo chamber.

England is stuck with them but they should be run out of Ireland. They'd happily steamroll our pubs into homogeneity if given the chance.

AI-generated videos of Biden should be called Sloppy Joes.

It's a good thing there won't be another global financial crash to put it on hold again.
*stares directly at "AI"*

😀 Keep up the good fight on reclaiming the acroynmn. I've already lost the shortened form of my name to it.

This time around we'd have to somehow convey the expectation that it was going to be AI (in reference to the cranky billionaires telling us AI would have solved the problem of getting people from the Airport to the City) and leave despondent when it turns out it is not. I'll get the thinking cap on

Maybe it wouldn't have played out and like that and we'd end up as the weirdos in Luas costumes at the Luas opening but that would have been enough. In the end, it was too short notice and the Luas opening event was incredibly boring... anyway I see Metro North got a green light...

At that point, the music would have been stopped. The mood changed. We'd all huddle with some loud whispers of "what.. it doesn't go underground?" "Whose fucking stupid idea was that?" After a few minutes we disband... taking off the costumes.. one person kicking theirs in a huff.

The hope was to get interviewed and be asked about why we're playing that song. "Well it goes underground doesn't it?" We'd say. The hope was to have the fact it doesn't be dropped on us like a kid finding out there was no Santa.

I wanted a bunch of us to dress in elaborate Luas costumes, as the carriages of the tram itself, and arrive at the event cheering, dancing and being overly delighted but also playing "Going Underground" by The Jam on a ghetto blaster.

One of my greatest regrets is not getting people rallied around a dumb plan I had to prank the Luas opening ceremony.

Metro metro man... I go to be a metro man.

Ireland waking up after a bender wondering why it's sheets are wet.

I hadn't noticed JD had fallen out of favour. What's the goss?

Europeans (crying): You can't just call something a Spirit Halloween and think that's a joke.
Americans (pointing at a Spirit Halloween): Spirit Halloween.

Still convinced SMH stands for "So Much Hurt" and SMDH stands for "So Much Dick Hurt".
