Nice whimsical post you got there, be a shame if someone were to take one tiny part of it and pivot insanely to their own political hobbyhorse.

1/2 - Cartoon Saloon is doing something it has never done in 26 years: returning to one of its film universes. We spoke with Tomm Moore, Nora Twomey, and Jason Tammemägi, then caught their Cartoon Forum pitch for ‘Mebh and the Wolf Pups.’ www.cartoonbrew.com/series/carto...

Social media is fun. In my youth none of us knew the joy of reading lies about ourselves made up by some deluded soul desperate for attention. And we were poorer for it.

You've probably already watched it but The Lowdown is great. And a second season is on the way.

How weird to discover there was a friend out of frame this whole time, and it was Elizabeth Holmes.

I wrote a tech column for a Galway paper at the time. We hyped up this mysterious new tech. And then mysteriously never mentioned it again after the reveal!

My uncle opened his novel with a quote from a U2 song in '93. I believe they allowed him to use it for free.

Been running the Kilkenny Comedy Club for four years this month. So tonight we celebrate with, unsurprisingly, a comedy night!

I’ve been illustrating full time for ten years and this has been the worst year of it. I’m looking at work outside the industry now. I’ve qualifications in graphic design and every one of those jobs I’ve seen listed are looking for people who can use AI. I can’t bring myself to do that.

There’s a weird type of social media personality who considers themselves a good activist because they spend all day doing nothing but posting about who they don’t think are good activists

First time in Tayto Park today, had a great day! Sometimes I like to read 1 star reviews on the way home from a place, just to see what the other side is like. We all need our hobbies ok. Anyway, this one is great, imagine going to a theme park & being annoyed they wouldn't let you in for free

Overpriced and not worth the hassle. We availed of the €30 instead of €60 special offer - make sure to buy all your tickets for your party as the mistake we made was myself & my husband assumed that as we were not going to be going on any rides, we didn’t book tickets and ended up being charged €98 for the privilege of sitting around the park! No customer service at all and no compromise on prices either! Lesson learned! Not recommended at all!!

Many years ago, when I first started writing for The Dark Side (Britain's oldest horror mag) we had a bit of a friendly pub quiz rivalry with Empire magazine for a while. We kept losing though. Until one week we discovered a secret weapon. /1

a guy digitized some old 80s Italian ambient tapes and one of the guys who made the music saw it and swung into the comments to say thanks for doing this, we loved making music back then maybe we’ll do it again & man that’s a good feeling youtu.be/2XwkPbBtiAQ?...

It came on in the car the other day and I got funny looks as I tried to convey to my wife how joyful a sing-a-long it is at their gigs.

I've never had contact with you and yet you said I blacklisted you for speaking up about abuse. I did no such thing. You have never contacted me or my club for a gig.

I'd like to point out that my club was on this list despite me never having any contact whatsoever with this person. So take every other club listed with a massive grain of salt.

I run that club. You've never talked to me or looked for a gig from me.

A regular haunt of ours back in '07. I remember reading his mention of it and realising he was just making up shit off the top of his head.
