Chill vibes.

Wallace (the beloved, silent-but-very-intelligently-expressive-dog from the "Wallace & Gromit" franchise), kneeling in the garden grass in an apron, with a lady's summer straw hat on (complete with surrounding bright pink ribbon), accompanied by a tin watering can, admiring a small sprouting, surrounded by immaculately-tended-to and beautiful flowers, shrubs, etc. The image is captioned "Chill Vibes", because gardening innit!

Why do #Irish journalists (& their editors) so often fail to realise that an "O apostrophe" surname in English has that apostrophe replaced with the síneadh fada as #Gaeilge, and that it's not accompanied by it? It's not a complicated thing to double-check before publishing!! #Spéirghorm #Ireland

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

It seems it's either constant whining, protesting, fear and misery, or else it's... Furries and whatnot. 🙃

There's few simple pleasures with social media anymore. Everybody on Spéirghorm always has to be a socio-political analyst & must have a comment for each & every news headline, every day. Not only all Irish headlines, but also all 🇺🇸 ones as well! The seriousness of it all, constantly, is grating.

To "fix" something which isn't actually an issue for any sane, normal person. It's only an "issue" because of the tech giants / AI companies, pushing narratives that AI is the solution to everything & making the non-issue of people not using it everywhere, for everything, a "problem". Marketing BS.

I haven't watched this yet, but I'd also add - it stars annoying weirdo and cult leader Jared Leto (and presumably he's the main character!)

I completely understand Sega's decision, but it's kinda sad that they got rid of Shadow toting guns for newer games, like Sonic X Shadow Generations. 😢

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!
