Right? Good swear he was alive during some postcard era, His whole very contrived twee spiel of a childhood by turf fires fadó fadó listening to wise old men telling stories… almost believable until he’s asked questions and goes off the rails.

He comes undone about halfway but really goes doolallee towards the end. I think he’s referring to al suburbs as he didn’t mention one. The random digs throughout where he thinks he’s being funny are just pathetic. And then summoning his own book and insights up as brilliant. I mean where to start

No idea. I eye rolled out. Think it’s coming to one of the streamers maybe

He implies about certain suburbs. Wait for it.

In Ireland we have just had our last full moon of the year.Sometimes known as the 'Cold Moon'. In Celtic Druidic practice,Winter was a time of descent into the Earth,into the invisible flow that glides beneath ordinary life.The year's last full moon is seen as a soft step from one cycle to the next.

Isn’t there a stat about the vast majority of the current crop of famous British bands, are all privately educated?
It’s who you know

Are @rteradio1.bsky.social doing paid ads presented as news coverage now? There were three segments in three different shows in one day about Stranger things earlier in the week.This morning Jerry Bruckheimer on with @mcculld.bsky.social to promote a movie about F1 racing.
What gives? #Spéirghorm

That’s meant to say ‘or make him minister for here’s why that’s bad idea’

Seems it’s all the behest of social media companies. It’s alarming and dressing it up as protecting children when it’s vastly more far reaching than that, is revealing. I can see majority of people dumping social media rather than complying.

Getting your John Hinde on there Joe :)
Lovely photo.

🤣🤣

I’d vote for him. They should at least hire him as a top senior advisor covering all ministries. The minister for Here’s why that’s a terrible idea and what’s going to happen if you do it.

You’re completely correct of course. Good read on all of it here Simon is on the ball as always.

Sir, If they wanted to guarantee we watched The Life of Brian, they couldn't have done a better job. In 1979, banning it ensured that EVERYONE in my friend group watched it. Just like the people who think they can stop children accessing inappropriate content on social media: have you ever been young? Do you have any idea how resourceful teenagers can be? Kids will always find a way to see the things you want to hide. How about we educate our children about the dangers of the things they're likely to come across? Let's teach them stuff that's actually useful and might protect them, instead of pretending we can stop them accessing the internet. Bernie Linnane Co. Leitrim.

That was it. The ones on WhatsApp have definitely stopped. Was getting loads and loads of them.

Had heard about that. Good question.

Got three in as many days. Was about to answer then remembered. Himself has been gettin them too and he’s on a different network even.

There’ll definitely a large cohort of parents up for it, but everyone else? Can see it going that way alright. On top of endless legal challenges. Could easily be a unifying force as the water charges were. Did you listen to the interview? The minister is rather bull headed about it.

Wasn’t even the most cringe part but it’s up there

One word for you

Aeroplanes

wtf is this chap on??

It’s actually entertaining and I’m still not sure if he knows if he’s deadly serious or taking the complete piss. He seems to want a foot in both so he can avoid responsibility if it goes wrong or take credit of it goes right. Hugh pulls him up on being banned off twitter YouTube etc etc. comical

He does yeah. Worth listening to the latest inside politics podcast with him. He is just batshit and convinced he’s completely in the right and of the right and moral superiority they name is. He also thinks he’s gods gift and is comically rude and obnoxious

Did you listen to that interview with him in their podcast? I just did. Holy batshit screwball scramble Batman.
He’s a loop the loop

Im curious as to whether they’re in trouble or whoever in the chain of command ordered it is in trouble ?

I don’t know and I don’t think they do either

It’s one of my favourite pieces of music in the entire saga.

In town earlier and there are luas’ loitering listless and lifeless all around either side of the Liffey

I have no confidence at all that they understand what they're doing. Even the reporter here tries to point out the most basic problem, and the minister just bludgeons his way through. The 'child protection' pitch that the right-wing uses as their trump card is serving a similar purpose here.
