It's very easy to complain about the price of sporting events, concerts etc these days but have to say im pleasantly surprised at cost of tickets for the URC final next weekend. €70 for 2 adults and 1 child incl fees. Bit of a bargain thanks to 10% discount on the URC site. #Leinster #URC #Ireland

Just joined an newly formed over 35s soccer team, and in the group chat - manager asked what positions we play. Someone actually said "False 9", and I don't think they were joking 🤣🤣🤣 Either a huge troll or...? Might have to consider saying I'll be the "Regista". #Ireland #Soccer #SundayLeague

#Speirgorm #Ireland Bit of fun for a Wednesday evening. What's your opinion that's most likely to cause the below reaction. I'll go first... *whispers* Hurling is boring to watch... *immediately ducks*

One image goes a long way to explaining why Ireland is among the most nature-wrecked places on Earth: sheep + sitka.

🧵This is the story of THE WORST GIG I've EVER done. NYE 2018. I posted on Facebook about what a fab year I’d had, donned my best lashes and set off for my last gig of the year: singing pop to 80 people at a pub in Essex. Easy, easiest of gigs and paying sweeeet dollar.

Elon Musk has built a perfect disinformation machine, which helps explain the Bluesky exodus. I explore its inner workings here: www.forkingpaths.co/p/elon-musks...

Elon Musk's Perfect Disinformation Machine
At a moment of dangerously splintering reality, the billionaire manchild has engineered his most revolutionary invention yet: the perfect mechanism to turn money into lies and lies into money.

One month ago today, set off on the last trip to the US for at least 4 years (with a bit of 🇨🇦 sprinkled in!). 3 weeks away from work, with nothing to do but enjoy! Now where to travel in 2025? Any suggestions welcome...

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).

Has anyone worked with concepts of tax resistance as a form of civil disobedience?

One day in, and it already seems like this place is as advertised. Just like the blue bird place before Elmo turned it into a bot zone
