All manner of nerdery and geekery. Gaming. TTRPGS. Dogs. Environment. History. Dubliner. Queer. Trying to use more Irish - please feel free to correct me if I make mistakes! Apparently I talk a lot about folk music.

If you want to chat about music while up for the chop, book with Adrian. If you don’t want to chat at all, there’s an option for that on the booking page.

Someone on here put me on to Queer Hawk barbers about two years ago. If we achieve nothing else, Irish Bluesky will have been worth it just for that.

Boost for Irish racing with three per cent funding rise in budget - and no increase in betting tax

“Given the significant budget demands arising out of the cost-of-living crisis and various other societal issues, the increase, which is broadly in keeping with inflation, will be seen as a fillip for HRI...” They’re only delighted with themselves.

€8.4 million is what the government are proposing to spend on animal welfare. €102 million will go on supporting the dog and horse racing industries. We do have our priorities arse-backwards sometimes.

Lol, Chambers is introducing an AI skills training fund. AI is the absence of skills. That’s its whole pitch.

Love farmers, love farming, don’t get me twisted, but Harris says farm incomes are up 49%??!! and then talks about more supports for farmers? Like, they’re doing ok, help those who need it maybe?

Listening to Harris talk about the necessity of the energy transition while pulling the rug out of the single most important policy for incentivising it is going to drive me off a cliff.

I actually love billions going to subsidise fossil fuel companies instead of long term solutions. It's class that we can afford to prolong the issue of fossil fuel dependency indefinitely. I love it

The cut to Carbon Taxes shows how fundamentally unserious this government is about climate action. The defining challenge of our time isn’t placating angry tight-wing men, it’s trying to keep this planet habitable.

We finished the last of the Sepulchre last night. Was a wild ride. I never thought I’d have the opportunity to run a mid-dungeon courtroom drama with a swarm of bees, a sentient sword, and a non-verbal cat statue. Now, back to the village to figure out what to do about these Wolves of God!

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

He’s a puppy farm influencer, basically. And that’s all he is.

Count Cormacula @cormacos.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
To add, puppy farms are a blight on our national character, and this chancer wants more of them be able to operate with more freedom to do as they like. Fuck that.

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees
