Hard to describe how proud I'd be of the Irish team if they refused to play this match. Probably equal to the disgust I feel towards the FAI and Government for putting them in this position.

The predictable Discourse is starting and I'm going to take a strong stand here: you can both want to abolish ICE and laugh really, really hard at Milo Yiannopoulos getting arrested by ICE after a decade of stoking the ethnonationalist hatred that led us to this point

I'll never watch this clip of Trump doing deranged rambling to some astronauts, cause how could it possibly live up to the preview offered in the first comment: "Jesus, implying that the astronauts are implicated in the murders at sea is awful"

There's only one movie I've seen in the cinema and have absolutely zero recollection of: Dreamcatcher. I only know for sure I saw it cause the release date lines up with the cinema trip I remember nothing about, and it was definitely a Stephen King adaptation.

Homeless figures continue upwards, while the Gov holds a special Dáil session to discuss fuel excise duty. I think back to the workshop I did with a group of kids experiencing homelessness, & how some were in that same group last year too. The numbers tick upwards, & some get stuck there for years

I have a flawless scam plan: I email people saying I'm from Wordle, and we've noticed they are exceptionally good at Wordle, and we have a once in a lifetime offer by which they can choose each day's word in return for a huge salary. They just have to pay a small registration fee up front.

I'm writing a new series of one of my kids shows, and because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm including a section without any dialogue. Which is a tricky proposition when you're writing for radio.

It's incredible how the Government are facing several massive life or death issues that clearly necessitate the regulation of social media companies, the one thing they are hellbent on never doing. Well, that and building houses to any meaningful degree.

For god's sake Pat, have some self respect

Madonna should invite Micheál Martin over for dinner – they have a lot in common

When you think about it, there are many parallels between the two ageing but still sprightly performers. Both were stars early. Micheál in Ógra Fianna Fáil and then winning a seat aged just 28; Madonna with Like a Virgin. Both are notoriously healthy eaters. Madonna (People magazine tells me) follows a strict macrobiotic diet of brown rice, rolled oats, wholemeal pasta and bread, vegetables and fruit, beans, seeds and nuts, along with fish and meat “every now and then”. Micheál, who patrols the Dáil restaurant keeping an eye on people’s diets, would love this. She should invite him over for dinner.
Both are flourishing in the late phase of their careers. Madonna has won 11 nominations for the MTV Music Awards for her recent album, while Micheál triumphed in the 2024 election to lead his party into Government for the second time and is now leading Ireland’s EU presidency, which he loves.

This is a really good piece by Carl. "Factors such as material deprivation, under-resourcing of social services, and social alienation must all be taken well into account before assuming that some children simply possess a wanton desire for the destruction of themselves and others."
