BREAKING: both UB40s have withdrawn from Ed Sheeran's tour

A blurry screenshot of the UB40 wiki page explaining that when the band broke up, two groups comprising former members continued under the name ub40 at the same time

They say Ireland has no wilderness but I think the forbidden, irradiated Barren Wastes of Eastern Meath should still count.

A map of Ireland which shows Dundalk, Navan and Dublin and leaves out a medium-sized conurbation reputed to be in that zone.

see, THIS is the new aesthetic. (amhránaithe on IG)

A poster for a song competition in Irish. Hand painted. Lots of handwritten text. No AI mediocrity.

So I now have a rake of thick mahogany planks. But I operate according to CITES, so I'm not going to sell it, and I also don't want to give it away to any woodworker who'll make something and sell it. So.....?

Advertise your Bluesky account with a Simpsons gif (Although I'd argue contempt for Drogheda is a basic instinct and not pointless)

RIP Gabriel Rosenstock. I know it's only a tiny fraction of his output, but I love his translation of Issa's haiku into English and Irish.

A simple illustration of a chestnut sprouting. A haiku by Issa. In English; little chestnuts how often you are trampled upon. In Irish; a chastána beaga nach mion minic a shatlaítear oraibh!

went to the Ghibli museum this morning and seeing the original background paintings hurt me. Not only am I not in the same league, it's not clear that I'm playing the same sport. They're Real Madrid - I'm pretty decent at throwing a welly.

Bhí mé ag smaoineamh faoin ceann seo mar 'rogha B'

A bilingual road sign for an industrial estate in Wales. The Welsh text actually says "I'm not in the office at this time. Please send any work to be translated to the translation team."

Behold this poster for a pub in Kilkenny that has an old bus in its beer garden. The actual bus has 4 wheels. Kilkenny, a small town with two big animation studios might.. MIGHT.. have someone who could do a better job? But just writing the details with black marker on a blank page would be better.

An AI-generated poster for a flea market featuring a bus. The bus has no front wheel because AI is dumb.

I have RnaG on when I'm driving and I love how one time in three (especially Iris Aniar) it's an interview with some auld fella who is very obviously outside for some reason, often struggling with climactic conditions.
