I think it’s long overdue that someone says directly to his oily orange fake face, “You are a charlatan, you cretinous, felonious, treasonous, 5-times-draft-dodging, morally bankrupt serial bankrupt, sex pest.”
Or something to that effect…

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

It’s part of our DNA.

Campbell vs Ward
Humphreys vs O’Gara
O’Gara vs Sexton
Crowley vs Prendergast

Irish fans have always been lucky in that respect. Just haven’t realised it when having a cut at one another.

Who hates Trump more?

- His wife?
- Giorgia Meloni?
- Everyone else?

A tough question that.

Was watching Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee’ a while back, and it was the episode with Fred Armisen in Portland.
Was clear that the place is special.
The Portlanders’ current anti-fascist protests are double-proof of this.

Nothing nefarious. Anyone who knows me would vouch for that.

I really am for neither of them.
I’ve never voted for a president on party lines. Not ever.
And after the debating, wouldn’t have voted for Jim Gavin either.

The only positives I see are McGregor and Steen not getting their way.

Speaking of animal cruelty, is Catherine Connolly okay with Sinn Féin’s backing? Considering they’re against blood sports in one jurisdiction and voted against a ban in another, they literally run with the fox and hunt with the hounds.

Jusr pointing this out to bug you. Am for neither candidate.

Was sent this in connection with 'Blade Runner'.
Philip K Dick, the genius who came up with the story itself, 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?', waxing lyrical about the movie.
A wonderful read.
Tragic in hindsight.

Anything that is not extremist or moderate right-wing does not equal “the left”.
One solitary word as to why BlueSky is preferable to the nativist, ethnicistic cult that usurped theTwitter platform is ‘decency’.

Jonn Elledge @jonnelledge.bsky.social · 3d

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

Just saw a great quote on this on Populist Watch Ireland page on Zuckerbook.

“Pro-Castro, anti-Astro”…

So when he does bother with his actual constituency, this is what he does.
While he’s most certainly not the only elected serial objector around by any means, this is just awful.

My mum brought me to see ‘Annie Hall’ when I was a kid.
I hadn’t a clue what the audience around me was laughing at so I just laughed with them.
I do remember the eggs joke though.
I will always love this scene, and today it seems especially poignant indeed ❤️

Justin Deegan @justindeegan.bsky.social · 3d

Apparently she kept cracking up laughing trying to shoot this scene in ‘Play It Again, Sam’.
She seemed to be such a natural person.
Think I’ll watch ‘Manhattan Murder Mystery’ tonight. Love her in that.

Finally got to watch ‘It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley’.
Have to say, had me in tears at one stage. He was undoubtedly incredibly talented and one of the best modern singers I’ve ever heard.
I’m one of the lucky ones to have seen him play live. Not once either, but twice.
