Real quick just want to remind everyone that Graham Linehan is a deranged bigot

Paul F. Tompkins @pftompkins.bsky.social · Aug 17

Graham Linehan ruined his own life by walking down a path of hatred but forgetting to first become a billionaire writing beloved children’s books and THEN walking down a path of hatred

A question for UK/Irish political types/writers/correspondents. I'm writing a piece for The Fence and need to know: what is the single cringiest thing you've ever seen at a party conference?

Looking very displeased that the grubby heathen hoi polloi stymied her immaculate ascension, but if she needs a tissue to dab away a perfect tear, I’m sure she’s got some in that €20K Hermes bag she’s got there

Outsider voice of the people Maria Steen speaks to the press standing behind a collection of mics on a pavement. She looks pissed off and is wearing a fawn wool coat and holding a blue Hermes “Kelly” bag

When you know someone affected by gun violence, don’t say “I have no words” to them about their loss. Have words. Find the words. Shout your words. Write them to members of the US government. And those words should be “I demand gun control laws”.

If I can just toot my own horn here, I made a light fixture out of a bowl I got on clearance for €1! I cut a hole in it and placed it over the glass fixture that was there already.

Please do not jump down my throat and I'm not generally face blind whatsoever, but whenever I see a photo of either Anthony Bourdain or Jeffrey Epstein I literally don't know which of them I'm looking at. I didn't pay much attention to either of them when they were alive but it's like... every time.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level

but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

River_Tam @rivertam.bsky.social · 23d

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

This week, when I was getting my Rx refills from the chemist, I remembered to say that I didn't want any Teva products. Happy to report that McFadden's in Stoneybatter isn't sourcing from Teva unless there's absolutely no alternative. #boycottteva #bds

While I'm grateful for the HSE's new HRT scheme, someone needs to tell them that 52 weeks x 2 patches = 104. They have conveniently rounded down instead of up (104/12 months=8.66.). By only covering 8 patches per month (8x12=96), they are leaving everyone 8 patches short over the course of a year.
