Phew! What a relief!
The front page of The Irish Catholic, a weekly newspaper. The main story about inclusive Bible translations being used for Mass readings appears under the headline “New lectionary is ‘inclusive but not woke’ say authors”

Seven stitches and a tetanus shot. That’ll learn me.
A photo of the back of my right hand. There is a smallish (2-3cm) cut towards the outside almost in line with my pinky finger. The wound is cleaned and stitched.

I have a paperback of Swanns Way in French I stole from an old roommate years ago maybe I should actually get further than 3 pages in one of these days

Bright Eyes good
Bright Eyes playing on stage at The National Stadium, Dublin. Despite the name it’s actually a small to medium venue usually hosting boxing matches.

I’m usually scared of spiral staircases in general but check out the tread depth on this thing. Absolutely guaranteed to break your neck some night
A photo looking down from the top of a carpeted spiral staircase where my foot is on the first step, near the outside edge with my heel against the rise. About a third of my foot is poking out over the edge of the step, the edge is just behind the ball of my foot.

Obligatory Trump barn post
A photo of some right wing asshole’s barn which is visible off I-80 in Nebraska so they put up big political signs on it. Currently the signs are (from top to bottom): 1. TRUMP in block capitals, red on white 2. A picture of the Virgin Mary with REMEMBER The Unborn, Jer 1:5 to her right 3. Eliminate Property Tax

The pickle beer was too intense but this is actually good, sweet with mild pickle flavour. Would buy again

I’ve been very into pickle things this trip (pickle flavoured Lays, Pringles, pickle fries from Sonic) but this might be Too Much, it’s nuts. It tastes like half the can is pickle juice.
A photo of a can in my hand. The can is a Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer, Brewed and Canned by Martin House Brewing Company, Fort Worth, Texas

Went to the zoo today and got a selfie with a gorilla
A close up selfie of the top half of my head with a gorilla behind me very close (he was resting on a transparent plastic dome thing so I was able to get very close)

We’ve landed in O’Hare. We sat behind a pig ignorant couple on the plane and I imagined making this image most of the way over
An image of Frank from It’s Always Sunny with the subtitle (crudely edited by me) “You would have to be a real lowlife piece of shit to recline your seat in economy”

If you don’t want to leave a tip just tap 0% and move on you moany fuck. “Flabbergasted at the tip options” give me strength

The Vinted algorithm consistently recommends clothes I’m interested in and would like to wear and books I wouldn’t let in the door
A screenshot of the Vinted app showing my “Recommended for You” feed. Two of the books recommended for me are The Tipping Point by airport bookshop intellectual for dummies Malcolm Gladwell and The Strange Death of Europe by snivelling fascist twerp Douglas Murray

I keep seeing this out of the corner of my eye and thinking it’s a picture of an orangeman
A photo of the front page of a menu for The Bernard Shaw. Beside the opening hours is a little image of a torso wearing a black t-shirt and an orange lanyard holding a badge that says “crew” on it. Above and below this image it says “need anything? Ask our crew”

Doing the last few days of semantle (spoiler for game 1179) and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what they were looking for here
A screenshot of semantle game 1179, where the answer is railroad. Below the correct answer (which took me 44 guesses) you can see my previous guesses ordered by similarity including railway, locomotive, railcar, caboose, train, trains and it continues like that to the end of this screenshot and far beyond.

Ivan Yates of all people talking about boomers screwing over young people, my god
Cartoon screenshot of Garfield looking at a sign that’s a picture of him with a 🚫 over his face. The subtitle reads “Huh. I wonder who that’s for.”

Jesse Singal Follower badge turns up some surprising results (sometimes, mostly very unsurprising)
A screenshot of a Bluesky post about Iowa passing a bill to eliminate civil rights protections for transgender people. The original post is the New York Times reporting on the story, this post is quoted by another user (whose name I have cropped out) who says “Bigots whose goal is straightforwardly to hurt people for being different, the most crude kinda raw visceral arbitrary hatred, are gunning for trans people across the world. And in America they have significant and growing power.” There is a badge indicating this person is following notorious anti trans whataboutery merchant and supposed journalist Jesse Singal
