This shitty app keeps signing me out. I think I'm just going to stay gone until they bother fixing it. Slán go fóill.

If we qualify, I've promised to name my firstborn Heimir. My wife's not thrilled by this. She says "He's seven, and he already has a name". #COYBIG

Being gay is not remotely a problem and you're 100% asshole for trying to cash in on it. Graham's problem isn't that he's in the closet (or not, who gives a shit either way?), it's that he's a hawkish cynical hypocritical Trumpist cunt. You don't deserve to get elected with bullshit like this.

Update: It is not good. The cast is stacked apart from the bauld Mel, who is comprehensively out of his depth, and the costumes are impressive, but Zafirelli's direction sucks the life out of it. The actors recite the script as if it were the Latin mass, rather than performing it. 5/10. Big meh.

It's treating itself a little too reverently so far. I've had to bump it up to 1.25 speed. Ian Polholmenius being reduced to a snarling caricature when he's written as a pompous caricature is giving me the hmmm. Gibson is Gibsoning hard.

A vertical close-up of a willow branch. Several catkins (small, oval-shaped flower clusters) are attached to a dark, slender twig that runs vertically through the center of the frame. They are light silvery grey. Each one is covered in tiny, fine hairs that grow outward from the center.

The scene is backlit. The sun appears as a bright, white, blurry circle in the upper center of the image, positioned directly behind the top-most catkins. This lighting creates a rim light effect, making the fine hairs on the edges of the catkins appear as a bright, glowing white outline.

The background is heavily blurred (bokeh effect). The bottom third consists of dark green, dense foliage. The upper two-thirds shows thin, bare branches of other trees set against a pale, bright blue sky.

Taoiseach (prime minister), not president. Our president is Catherine Connolly, who Trump apparently thinks is a man, because he's a fucking idiot.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."

Those are Trump's own second-hand shoes or I'll eat a separate, less embarrassing shoe. I guarantee they're in his size. He gave Marco Beag a pair of his old shoes as a "gift" and now Marco has to wear them if he ever wants to be Gauleiter of Havana.

This for all writing that's in any way important or consequential, not just long-form writing. Important text message? Read it out loud. Email? Read that bish. Memo for work? Recite! Another valuable hack, if you've time: set it aside. Do other things. Come back to it. You'll see things you hadn't.
