Also also, that instrumental was hot rubbish. This man is never getting past being one of The Acclaimed, right down to a piddly little knock-off of *his own beat*. He'll be main-eventing rural hotel function rooms in Ireland in the next five years, guaranteed.

Also, you just know that line would have slayed the intended audience of early TNA, a company that *launched* with a tag-team of gay stereotypes and another tag-team that was literally supposed to be a pair of penises... in 2002.

Don't get me wrong, criticism of the Saudi state is always 100% justified, but something tells me this dude would 'fly to Riyadh' if the money was right.

Caster is an idiot for not reining it in, when re-debuting on PPV, immediately after being released from the best deal he'll likely ever have. TNA are idiots for not knowing that this was likely to happen, and letting the edgelord rapper onstage without checking if he'd be an edgelord. #wrestlesky

Bit of positive news to start the week: the online voter registration system voter.ie is now live nationwide (having previously worked only for Dubliners) - now anyone in the State can register or update their details on the electoral register in a couple of minutes using only their PPS number.

Y'know what it is? Nothing has ever mattered to him. Born with the unlock-all cheat; he's had zero real-life experience or character-developing circumstances, and thus no sense for hard work, value or empathy. Everything is the next opportunity to get another step ahead in a zero-sum game. Cooked

My newest for @bandcamp.com is onsite now - celebrating wherethetimegoes, on the Dublin label's tenth anniversary. A potted history, reflections on its role, and the joyous slog of creating in the city - plus a rundown of essential releases. #spéirghorm #ireland daily.bandcamp.com/label-profil...

Even cheaper per unit - pre-install the recent port of Ridge Racer for €16 (rather than €80 for OoT), if they're so mad to see things go fasht. #spéirghorm #ireland

The Irish far-right are MI5 assets (or adjacent) designed to frustrate the progress of a United Ireland. Which has the neat side-effect of using conspiracy theory to distract a (sadly) non-zero number of people from the actions of billionaires, landlords and their vassals. #spéirghorm #ireland

That has been the case, it just struck me again that nobody, anywhere up the chain, said 'no', or did the basic thing of respecting others' humanity.

For a public broadcaster to not only cave to a blatantly false moral panic, but to quite literally erase a small mention of solidarity for a marginalised group, is both disgusting and an abandonment of its duty to society. #ProtecttheDolls. Now and forever.

The best way for the Irish government to react to this frankly remarkable poll would be to hold a high profile summit this week with all the companies 98% of people do not trust. Really get stuck into tying themselves in the public imagination to these companies nobody trusts.

A screenshot from an RSS reader which shows a headline and subhead from the Sindo. The headline reads "Vast majority of Irish people do not trust AI giants and want governments to regulate them, poll finds". The subhead reads "Sunday Independent / Ireland thinks survey finds only 2pc trust firms behind new technology.

The gas part is, it doesn't seem like anyone's buying; not even FF's true-believer vote. And faced with the prospect of otherwise being led by a failbrother dying to have a cut off immigrants, the fact that sales are slow is a bad omen in many ways. #spéirghorm #ireland
