Set the controls for as far as the mind can think. All hail bright futures. Don't feed trolls. Bluesky thinks I'm rude. 🇮🇪 🇪🇺
And we are NOT FIT for human consumption today. Two separate conversations with IT (lack of) support (for a problem I've resolved on my own, thanks), and I've thumped my own desk in frustration (be polite, take it out on an inanimate object). Is it lunchtime yet?

Can't stress enough how damn important this lot were. Remember having a conversation with my cousin in her car in '94 as we drove in LA. "Do you remember how dangerous people thought they were?" "Lock up your daughters, it's The Beastie Boys.." "Oh yeah, like that would've worked. Total catnip."

I stupidly thought this wouldn't hit as hard as it did.

Thanks @lighthousecinema.bsky.social for It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (and yes, it was his ghost I saw making its way down Beale Street in October '98)

On January 1, the Israeli occupation revoked the licenses of 37 humanitarian organizations including MSF, the Norwegian Refugee Council and ActionAid, from operating in Gaza, and it has now warned they must “must complete the cessation of their activities by March 1, 2026.”
Israel Destroyed Gaza’s Hospitals. Now It’s Banning Doctors Without Borders.
Israel says it will start enforcing its ban on 37 aid groups in Gaza in March, putting more Palestinian lives at risk.

@faiofficial.bsky.social - and we get to play these at football? Lads, I think even the "stick to football" brigade would have a problem with this. #Sportswashing

I wonder if RTE would/should show the game? If they're not willing to send a representative to Eurovision this year ... is it time for a cultural boycott? I'm just spitballing ideas ... #Speirgorm
“[The FAI] could show a real bit of balls and refuse to play Israel. They should stand up in my view for the Palestinian state, the Palestinian people and the Palestinian football organisation.” - Brian Kerr, former Republic of Ireland manager

It's just dawned on me @ciaraioch.bsky.social - you need to get to Dublin for a rugby Saturday! We could be setting you up with a lovely Italian guy right now! Damn! Next year! France, Wales AND Scotland! Three potentially golden opportunities!

A really good film! Maybe Bradley Cooper's future is behind the camera, or maybe it was just the story. Loved seeing Chloe Radcliffe (thanks Nextup Comedy for introducing her to me) but holy hell no-one mentioned THE ACTUAL PAYTON MANNING is in this! Thanks Odeon Cinema Malahide Rd! #IsThisThingOn
