Just a bearded gay man from the greatest place on earth, Cork City.

Munster and CCFC supporter.

Seeking greener pastures, I left Twitter. Turns out, they were on Bluesky!
Reading alot about Jimmy McShane, and Baltimora, recently.

Jimmy was born and reared in 1960s Derry. An incredible Irish voice the world lost 30 years. One of many talented gay singers who died of AIDS-related illness in the 1990s.

Tarzan Boy is just fabulous.

Unsure if I'd put it in my top 5 films of 2025, but dare I say I thoroughly enjoyed Superman and that it was a good introduction to James Gunn's DC Universe ambition.

Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor was brilliant and the 1A scene was a cinematic highlight of 2025.

The protests in Iran are the largest protests since the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising of 2022.

The nationwide protests started in Tehran on 28 December, and quickly spread to other cities across the country.

The international community must press the Iranian authorities to stop the bloodshed.

I was wondering how All Together Now were going to top this year's headliners Fontaines D.C. next year.

What a choice, looks like we're getting Kneecap!!

Quentin Tarantino's top 20 films of the century:

1. Black Hawk Down
2. Toy Story 2
3. Lost in Translation
4. Dunkirk
5. There Will be Blood.

Read article for more context.

Tarantino calling actor Paul Dano a "weak, uninteresting guy" is baffling however.

I'm all for tough interviewers, but Colette Fitzpatrick was awful tonight on The Big Interview with Catherine Connolly TD.

John Downing summed it up perfectly on the Indo Politics (@independent.ie) podcast earlier - Fianna Fáil have quite a deal of explaining to do as to what kind of due diligence they went through to vet a potential candidate for the highest office in the land from the biggest party in the land.

2017 or so is the last time I remember a match of this magnitude in a packed out Turners Cross. Still taking it all in.

As City fans we've been through hell this season, but a semi-final win like that last night was more than deserved.

We're @corkcityfc.ie and we're off to the Aviva boi 🥳

Last night I watched The Godfather.

This morning I woke up a earlier than usual just to listen to Taylor Swift's new album.

Sorry, but this is some old baloney. But also, I have GDPR questions about the emergance of this story.

This feels like an SNL skit.

Also does Hegseth know that the person (JD Vance) ranked first in the presidential line of succession (and thereby ranked first in succession to the role of Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces) is also bearded?
Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, the era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos ... if you don't meet the male-level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position."
