It is very strange to see this pop up and experience no joy

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

@secondcaptains.bsky.social World Cup Final is between two sides who couldn’t beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes. Pico 💪🏻

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

@secondcaptains.bsky.social justice let Eoin know he wouldn’t be the first man to confuse U2’s and Metallica’s Ones (two?) #GrungeWeek26 youtu.be/rBjyl1LvBF4?...

Team in white 3 goals up against a team in red in a European final in Istanbul, I wish the commentary team would stop talking about it being done #UTV #UELfinal

@secondcaptains.bsky.social with this story is it on Murph’s radar due to the GAA aspect? Eoin’s cause of the WWE? Or perhaps Branno and Ken will enjoy the ridiculousness of the Titans trading the pick and pushing it out a couple of hours after the scheduled end time?

Happy anniversary of this not happening

Late downpour + Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall + photographic excellence from Matthew Child = this

Checking in on Pam Bondi:

Still thinking about Project Hail Mary.

HOWLING

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

@jowrotethis.bsky.social have you received sufficient corrections from Bad Babies about the Giants Causeway or do I need to push up my glasses and “well actually “ this?

It finally hit me who Isabella Wranaa reminded me of

Nope, but he paints his nails which is enough for some people

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head

@secondcaptains.bsky.social I didn’t have Eoin down as a fan of 80s cult classic movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Tom Baker is 92 today

aspirational

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

REPUBLICANS: “How dare you call us Nazis?!” ALSO REPUBLICANS: “The swastika needs to make a comeback.”

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

Real life folded Ross Kemp

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire

Just like folks respectfully overlook editors and journalists married to politicians...because although it seems there is a conflict of interest...we give people the benefit of the doubt that they will perform their jobs well. 🧐 www.independent.ie/irish-news/p...

Interesting

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

Hollywood actor Chris Pratt who I have never once seen comment on any mass shooting in America has posted.

@secondcaptains.bsky.social by any chance was the Ireland squad in 1320 with @kenearly.bsky.social til 4am last night? Needs to be some explanation for this

Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.

@robertmays.bsky.social well La-de-da Mr Mays
