The Best Girl Ever is almost a year old 🥲
A young black dog is standing on the bank of a stream on a misty morning. She’s wet, muddy, happy, and sticking her pink tongue out.

Okay so terrible films typically fall into one of two categories: Bad (redeemable) or Bad and Offensive (irredeemable) If you have a bad *and* offensive film, you need to remove the OFFENSIVE aspect - in TRON ARES, it’s Jared fucking Leto.

She fights for every scarred heartbeat. She cries away every lie told, each promise flushed, and staggers upon shards of broken dreams just to make it to sunset. But she loves. She hopes. And in her veins flows an undying romance for the world she used to see. It's still there. And so is she.

I even did a song using some program my daughter showed me on her laptop. It’s called ‘Always Bloody Londontown’.
What’s it like? Think part KLF, part Cooper Clarke. It’s this sparse farty beat with me shouting the word ‘London’ over and over and over for seven and a half minutes.

Happy fifth anniversary to this Captain Sir Tom tribute if you’re celebrating.
Hideous Sir Tim tribute in the form of a showroom dummy on crutches, wearing a blazer and beret and a grey plastic Facebook DEATH. He has somehow got on top of the kind of table you see at car boot sales.

One of the main reasons for having an issue with students using generative AI is that when a lecturer asks students to write essays on the social impact of railways in Derbyshire in the early 19th century it's to gauge the students' understanding, not to fill an urgent essay shortage.

If anyone you know is older and has not had the shingles vaccine, tell them to get it. Even if you have to pay for it in Ireland. Besides shingles it also has a proven connection to helping with dementia, particularly in women. It should be free. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The skills needed to build and maintain these boats, which are unique to Ireland, are dying out as apprentices are not entering the trade since the closure of the Údarás course in the 90s. A tenth of the money wasted subsidising greyhounds and gambling would save them. www.tg4.ie/en/player/pl...

Happy Easter
Scene is WAITROSE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK. Behind it is a staff member, whose name we will soon learn is BECKY. She is dealing with a customer, for now out of shot, while talking to her manager on the phone.

BECKY [on phone]: 
Yeah, hiya...


2
BECKY:
Yes I have a customer here who wants to complain about the Easter eggs.

3
BECKY [putting hand over receiver while addressing the customer stood at the desk in front of her]:
Sorry what was your name again?

4
[Pull back to show the customer is a very tall, green-skinned, PAGAN GODDESS, festooned with flowers. Stood next to her is her son, a normal human teenager in a hoodie, who looks mortified by his mum.]

PAGAN GODDESS:
Eostre the Pagan Goddess of Fertility

5
BECKY
Sorry -
Your name is Easter…?

PAGAN GODDESS:
Eostre.

6
VICKY:
Your name is Easter and you want to complain about the Easter eggs.

7
PAGAN GODDESS:
Sorry love, what’s your name?

BECKY:
Becky

PAGAN GODDESS:
Well, Vicky -

8
PAGAN GODDESS:
If it was you who’d shagged the solar god of the Equinox to give birth to an actual living god - my son Darren here -

TEENAGE BOY:
Muuum…

9
PAGAN GODDESS:
….only to have all your efforts totally forgotten by history, you’d have a complaint too!

10
PAGAN GODDESS:
Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival!

11
BECKY:
You mean… Jesus…?

PAGAN GODDESS:
I mean shagging, Vicky.

12
PAGAN GODDESS:
Is it too much to see  just a little bit of pre-Christian sex in Aisle 4?

TEENAGE BOY:
MUUUUM

Some days it rains. Dorianne Laux
DEATH COMES TO ME AGAIN, A GIRL


Death comes to me again, a girl in a cotton slip.
Barefoot, giggling. It’s not so terrible, she tells me,
not like you think: all darkness and silence.

There are wind chimes and the scent of lemons.
Some days it rains. But more often the air
is dry and sweet. We sit beneath the staircase
built from hair and bone and listen
to the voices of the living.

I like it, she says, shaking the dust from her hair.
Especially when they fight, and when they sing.
