@punished_cait Jesus fucking Christ

@PoorQuentyn I always thought of the Others the way I think about climate change or the bubonic plague. Not necessarily evil in a moral sense, but something that's incompatible with human life.

This is from the pitch letter. Certainly possible GRRM changed his mind as he has on many other things, but I don't think anything in the text suggests he has

@TheAlexSylvian I rewatched this recently having not seeing it since I was a teenager, and was really impressed by how well it's held up, so I decided to watch The Grudge too since it's a similar movie that I also watched that as a teenager and Jesus Christ what a fucking massive piece of shit

good bit in verbinski's the ring where he rear windows from apartment to apartment looking at screens and then finishes off with a guy with a broken leg in a wheelchair in case you didn't get what he was doing

@edmundheaphy I think that's the point tbh. I couldn't count the amount of times I've just have to slip out of a gathering without telling anyone to avoid getting sucked into all the endless goodbyes.

I get that the phrase “Irish goodbye” has taken on a life of its own, but an actual Irish person will still be at the party, maybe with their coat on, like an hour after they first said goodbye

@Alonso_GD I fully believe this was an intentional "error" by the CPS, so that they could claim to have lost on a technicality rather than having lost based on the merits of their case.

Not bc of free speech mind you, bc they filed the suit 1 day too late

@aelfred_D The idea what the Irish as obsessed with guilt is a common misconception, it's actually shame we're obsessed with.

I can’t find it but someone once described this as something like this Irish Catholic: My guilt is immeasurable and I will never be good Italian Catholic: I do-a bad things, but then the man in the box, he forgive me

@GianmarcoSoresi Mfw

Putin?????

@GerryMcBride The Die Hard thing never made any sense to me. It came out in July, it was a summer blockbuster.

I’ll talk all day about Die Hard being a Christmas movie, but you’ll never hear me make a strong argument for Gremlins. It’s set at Christmas, yes, but it’s really neither here nor there to anything that happens. We still enjoy it at Christmas here though. Why not.

@bornposting De Niro Frankenstein is the absolute spit of Gérard Depardieu tbh

@reptracker It was inevitable

Absolutely gutting

Statement from the Council of The Bar of Ireland: The fundamental importance of an independent referral Bar It is the duty of barristers to be independent and free from any influence, especially such as may arise from their personal interests or external pressure, in the discharge of their professional duties as barristers. Barristers cannot discriminate in favour of or against any person availing, or seeking to avail, of the services of the barrister on the grounds of race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, language, politics, religion, nationality, national or social origin, national minority, birth or other status. It is also the duty of barristers to accept instructions in any case in their area of practice. As a result, barristers should not be identified with their clients or their clients’ causes or suffer adverse consequences as a result of being so identified. This fundamental principle arises from the Code of Conduct of The Bar of Ireland and is recognised in the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and in the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of the Profession of Lawyer. The duty of barristers to accept instructions, sometimes referred to as the “cab-rank rule”, ensures that everyone is entitled to access to justice and is central to trust in the Irish legal system and the rule of law. @CourtsServiceIE @DeptJusticeIRL @IrishLegalNews

@_motherslug I spotted a single copy on the general fiction shelf of my local bookshelf and I grabbed it so fast

How it feels to keep waiting for Shadow Ticket.

@theclovecoterie In what universe is colcannon a soup

My goal is to cook through the majority of this soup tier list this fall/winter…soup you mean so much to me….

Greatest League in the world

@StolenByVando @iDude14 Didn't stop the Bucks x.com/Bucks/status/1…

@iDude14 I don’t think they are allowed to post it due to tampering rules (that’s what I heard)

Luka Doncic is playing exceptionally well in EuroBasket, but we haven’t seen any posts about it from your side, unlike other teams who celebrate their European players.

@cessonmute Tumescent

we need a better word for horny that sounds elegant and gorgeous

@dennisbhooper It's clearly Robot Wars

Raises the question of what the most American-titled British TV series is

@NBA_University @databallr There's no way that actually says 94.3%, I must be misreading it.

Top 15 Players Guarded by Bam Adebayo in '24-'25... What stands out?

We weren't saying Miz, we were saying Mizfits!

@litussaxonicum @I_amMukhtar Shut the fuck up you absolute clown

Sally Rooney is Irish. She lives in Ireland. Britain has no jurisdiction over her. It’s that simple.

You are not competing for housing with the recent migrant from Brazil who pays €400 a month cash to sleep on a bunk bed in a room with 11 other people in it
