Trish was remarking on this, it seems like post-pandemic red lights are sort of optional. Of course, given what we've recently learned about the Garda traffic corps that's not surprising.

Films: We need to hack a keycard, obtained by seducing one of the guards. We then need to drop in from the skylight after jumping from a plane, and dodge all of the lasers and traps, carefully switching the jewels for fakes that weigh the same to avoid tripping the alarm.

Israel: we need to get the dead bodies out

Hamas: we need equipment to dig people out from under buildings

Israel: ok, we are going to keep bombing

Also Israel: why can’t you get bodies out

A bit like the influence of Opus Dei in various organisations (not least Young Fine Gael etc). Hopefully that will end soon.

Some people want a very small Ireland where we don’t criticise the powerful and we don’t annoy the neighbours and we don’t expect actual fairness and where it’s ok to have homeless children and hopeless adults. No thanks. #Áras25

I guess they just had a ton of Steen content planned and when that didn't pan out they've had to flail to fill the column inches. Mad alright.

Conservative-leaning tech investors are racing to build a new American colossus, and they want something much, much bigger than the Statue of Liberty. Meet the new monuments men of the tech right and their plans for statue-maxing:

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

RPGs are one of the most satisfying types of video games to finish in general - that's right, my ragtag band of heroes DID save the world - but it's astounding how much more satisfaction an epilogue adds

give me slides! letters! cute little cutscenes! let me see how I affected people!

For the next two weeks I just want a series of these videos with Connolly abseiling, jousting on a horse in full armor, maybe culminating in wingsuit gliding.

I assume they'll get to write either "how has the government allowed costs to balloon by ..." or "how did we overestimate the cost so badly" pieces. They should have one of both prepared just in case.

While it's no surprise that the Irish Times' Pat Leahy is ratty about Catherine Connolly running for President, his assertion that 'military industrial complex' is a typical leftie term shows a surprising lack of awareness of that famous Commie Dwight D Eisenhower.

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Comedian Tim Dillon said on his podcast last month that he signed up for financial reasons.
He said he had been offered "a large sum of money" - $375,000 for one performance - and said that other comedians had been offered as much as $1.6 million. He told his detractors to "get over it," adding, "So what if they have slaves, they're paying me enough to look the other way."
But in an episode of the Tim Dillon Podcast last week, the comedian announced he'd been removed from the lineup for the comments he made about the country's record on slavery.

Me the day after getting flu+covid shots: I'm dying, maybe RFK Jr was right all along.

Me packed in with people on a trip a couple of weeks later: Sickos, yes ... hahaha ... yes.
