Keeping clear of blowholes. A little less wrong every day. I swear. A lot.
Sun is shining. Where else would you be. In 2024 Ireland's summer was on a Tuesday. This year its a bit early and falls on a Saturday. Best to make the most of it. In the beautiful Nire Valley.

Fascinating that it's still possible to breathe when you're this far up someone's colon.

Not the worst analysis I've heard from a conservative commentator on our "western" culture. I would really like to see some other perspectives from the non-anglophone world.

On the first weekend of spring the Lord said let there be light. And woopdedoo! Sun is shining and they are both screaming to go. But you only have one backside. What to do?

Unsettling but very real.
I wrote a version of this thread on twitter over 4 years ago & noted that there seemed to be an inability to accept that there is a considerable political movement in the U.S. which is fundamentally anti-democratic. A burgeoning proto-fascism that is believed in as a way to achieve *shared* aims.

Getting huge amounts of el presidente spam over in the other place. Cannot tell if this is irony, illiteracy, or he's just dumb as a rock. Well, actually when I think about it, he is just unleashing his inner bumhole.

I'm going to bank this one for future use. Thanks.
Another response might be
the famous
"Attached is a letter that we received on February 6th. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters."

And those arguments have been exposed as nonsense. In choosing Trump and in what he is actually doing, America has been exposed as a global force which has the strength of a giant but the intellect and empathy of a toddler.

Last week Trump announced $500bn investment in infrastructure to put America front and centre in AI technology.
This week a Chinese company releases DeepSeek R1, an AI side project that rivals OpenAI and the tech companies are shitting the bed.

#StormÉowyn is set to hit the west coast of Ireland an almighty and merciless haymaker in the early hours of Friday. This is going to be memorable, for all the wrong reasons. So glad to be missing the worst in the southeast, but really concerned about the impact it will have all across the country.

There he is. Can't help himself. If people just keep challenging him in public he will spend so much time brooding and trying to think of ways to torture them that he won't have any time left to do other stuff.

The weather is still a bit moody for biking but a little spin on the flying piglet blows off the cobwebs. My chances of outrunning that rain behind me are.......well let's just say I'm getting wet.

I sometimes forget just how gorgeous this bike is and how happy it makes me feel when I ride it. Hard. Never seen the point of having a bike you can only exploit fully on a track.

Any debate about the relative merits of X or Bluesky pales into insignificance when compared to the coming battle over the right to regulate. Does the EU have the bottle to stand up to Trump? Or will quislings like Orbán or Meloni scuttle the ship.

The coming battle between social media and the state

Heinkel Tourist sidecar combination. Looks like a 103 A2. But I'm no expert. I don't think this one sees the light of day too often. This was taken at the Irish Vintage and Veteran Motorcycle Club show in Dublin.

Taking a trip down nostalgia avenue and I think my #CassettePlayer just pooped itself. I have about 100 #cassettes in a box from the attic. Just came across a rechargeable player with #Bluetooth at €150. Any better ideas welcome.
