Added @catfishing.net gameplay to my TikTok videos, couldn't find anyone else playing it, but it might be because the game name is hard to search 😅 #trivia #dailygames vm.tiktok.com/ZN8NT348H/

I got so bored in Cyprus, I started posting daily videos of solving Connections, which I think I'm quite decent at for a non-native speaker who never lived in the US! #nytconnections #nytgames www.instagram.com/reel/DcD9kyd... vm.tiktok.com/ZN88s8gp9/

My "Irish Measurement Systems Flowchart" was warmly received by r/Ireland so I'm reposting it here having fixed one error, but without many smaller additions suggested, might do a v2 some time later! #speirgorm

Living in Cyprus means getting Instagram ads like this. I don't know what's worse: the AI, the concept and event existence, the blackface (probably)? And also with how people drive in Limassol, every day is a "GTA-style event" here, I don't need to pay for it!

Interesting how much more the folks in Taxi (1978) are willing to do to protect their colleague from the immigration authorities than the ones in The Pitt (2025). Really shows you the erosion of American character and integrity.

Fun fact: there were pokeballs in the USSR

Last week, it was announced that the Gulag History Museum will be shut down after nearly 20 years of commemorating the darkest page of Soviet history. And as if that weren't enough, in its place, a museum will be opened about the so-called “genocide of the Soviet people.”

I was jogging on a bike lane along the seashore in Limassol, which is usually shared by cyclists and runners. I hear a bike bell ringing behind me, it's a group of three girls. I move right to let them pass, and as they do, one goes: — It's not for you!

Good poll result for the @social-democrats.bsky.social today. We’ve effectively doubled our % in just over a year. Our style of politics isn’t the easiest way of doing it- we stay true to our values & won’t compromise in bringing forward evidence based solutions. There’s a lot more to come 💜

Visited the Moufflon Bookshop in Nicosia which immediately passed the vibe check. They didn't have Scott's "Seeing like a state" that I was looking for, but I still bought three books, of course.

I'd say lack of mental/health services, lack of housing, lack of public transport infrastructure, lack of "the third place" and pandering to right wing talking points in the face of neoliberalsim and late stage capitalism is the biggest threat to 'social cohesion'. But fuckit what do I know.

I can't believe it's real! Petkit website (whatever, a cat gadget company) offers shipping to every possible place in the world EXCEPT CYPRUS. And no, it's not under "Republic of" or something. 🤯 #cyprus

More differences/similarities between Ireland and Cyprus. The driving is on the same side of the road and the general vibe is similarly relaxed outside of congested areas, but on Cyprus people never indicate. Not just the BMWs, no one does. Especially not on the roundabouts. Maddening!

I'm living between Ireland and Cyprus now, and it seems like the discourse is mostly indistinguishable even beyond the obvious partition/reunification issue:

Saw a man dragged out by the 3Arena security during the Bob Dylan concert. I hope one day they will also start arresting the people who go to grab a beer during a seated musical performance!

Certain people keep 'vandalizing' our posters, but I'll be insisting that the stickers represent the fact that @catherinegalway.bsky.social is the only Irish-speaking candidate in this election!
