There’s a vintner from some southside plonk-shop hoping to go viral by comparing wines to “big five” schools. Is “big five” a recent thing? I’ve seen a few instagram humorists throwing it around.

Where does Buckfast sit in the Big Five? More importantly, do they have it in stock? I have a 2026 vintage. How long should I lay it down, or is Buckfast best drunk young? 🤔

Trump has just ordered the Fort Hood shooter to be murdered by firing squad. Sorry, I mean executed. Apparently, lethal injection was getting a bit too humane.

Andy Burnham and Chris Bryant are incredibly naive in suggesting no one in Northern Ireland wants to drag us backwards. The current leaderdhip of the DUP, UUP & TUV are intent on dragging us backwards.

Ryder cup getting €22mil and a train station built for em, horse racing Ireland getting €81.6m and Tipperary Racecourse rebuilt. Greyhound "industry" is just money laundering at this stage. €mils pumped into American football? But if you're on disability you can just go die! Fuck these cunts.

“They can take out LA, San Diego.” He’s talking about entire American cities as if they’re expendable. It sounds like he’s casually contemplating nuclear war. And this is the man with his hands on the nuclear codes. Absolutely terrifying.

The US military fighter jets that landed at Shannon Airport on Saturday dropped missiles on Iran earlier this year. Micheál Martin lied to journalists when he said armed US soldiers – deployed for the illegal war on Iran – weren’t landing at the airport. www.ontheditch.com/fighter-jets...

Great to be back with the good people of Garvaghy Road yesterday. They're standing strong and well prepared for the long haul if necessary. The community solidarity and wider support has been incredibly impressive. It's a glimpse of the people power that can transform society.

“Did Germany make any mistake with reunification that Ireland could learn from?” I asked a very clever German official…deeply involved in the project since the fall of the Berlin Wall. He considered the question for a while before answering. “You can wait too long,” he said.” #spéirghorm #Garvaghy

I'm so grateful for this pushback. I'm grateful to be seeing widespread pushback against AI because of the cost to the environment, our wallets, and our rights, but I'm worried that too few people are pushing back because it undermines our trust in expertise and experience. #spéirgorm

I love these books - they were a secret language between me, my dad, my brother & my brother's friends - I feel ridiculously nostalgic seeing them again. Lucky whoever finds them in Secondhand - hope you enjoy the fish!

Angled view of Douglas Adams’ five-book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy box set, standing on piles of secondhand books at Chapters. The bright yellow slipcase displays the series title, a blue towel and a “42 anniversary collection” badge. All five dark blue book spines are visible.

Front view of the yellow Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy slipcase by Douglas Adams, resting on stacked secondhand books. Dark blue lettering reads “The Complete Collection”, with a circular “42 anniversary collection” badge above and a rolled blue towel pictured below.

Close-up of the five numbered Douglas Adams paperbacks in their slipcase: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. Their dark blue spines have colourful lettering and Pan logos, with stacks of books and the shop interior blurred behind them.
