Lol, the algorithm so bad that my liking of posts roasting ed sheeran has lead to me being aggressively advertised tickets to a him and Coldplay double bill of milquetoast mediocrity.

“If you live and work and pay taxes here, there’s an ever-tougher obstacle course. But if you’re Irish in a vaguely genetic sense, come into the parlour, there’s a welcome here for you”. @fotoole.bsky.social on the two routes to Irish citizenship and the racism therein. archive.is/dcddi

What I find hilarious about Zohran Mamdani is that he is essentially just bringing rural Irish parish politics to the big city. He's quite literally fixing the road. And I get it now! If I could I'd vote for him forever! He'll never get to as many local funerals as the bauld Willie O'Dea, though.

Putting aside the believability of the 41 year old masquerading as a 27 year old. The financials of Empirical are inscruitable. Every episode starts with the company in dire straits and ends with a million dollar best seller.

The sign that my baba is over her cough is this morning she pissed the bed 😅 Her morning nappies have been light recently despite the amount of nursing and water drinking she's been doing. Some little bug was churning and burning up all her reserves. But now, she's pissing to beat the band again!

I had a dream that millennial parents, in their search for originality, had combined the names Aoife and Fiadh to make a new Irish name (Fífa) that was sweeping the nation.

This is exactly correct. Regardless of one's prima facie views on nuclear, it is a ridiculous suggestion for Ireland. Decades before it generates power, decades more before it justifies the cost, and a massive opportunity cost versus investing in rapidly improving renewable generation and storage.

When this happens in a country with a budget surplus of €9 billion, it is absolutely a choice of governance.

My pet peeve in sci-fi movies is scientists being portrayed as not understanding their own fields because the audience don't. Yes we're watching Interstellar again.

Irish people: St. Patrick's Day presents such a stereotypical portrayal of Ireland that doesn't reflect its modern, vibrant culture. Irish people when they see Americans setting Leprechaun traps: You fools! You've doomed us all! The children will be changelings. The crops will wither in the field.

Since having a baby, I've learned a lot of new science. Like the minimum amount of sleep a human needs, and how to get less than that. Laughter is the best medicine if it's from a baby. Germs only exist for as long as you remember them.

9 panels on our roof in Dublin covered 89% of our electricity usage last year. And that's with a bunch of inefficiencies in our system such as still using an electric shower. Also we were home with a baby near full time for half the year.

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

Tried playing a few christmas songs on the guitar for baba. She's into it fight up until the midpoint of each song when she suddenly loses it crying. Mama! Wrap it up quicker! Ms Rachel would never be so indulgent as to do a third verse! My bad, baba.
