@nytimes @TheAthleticFC What a prick.

@MrCalifornia77 @CarlowWeather I bet your name is not Robert.

@CarlowWeather If you don't think they ever spray anything on to us that is harmful for us or the environment. Well then you're a fucking moron who believes everything your told, id imagine you have all your vaccinations 😵‍💫

A stunning day but feeling cool in that breeze. Also planes always fly. What changes is whether the air lets you see their exhaust. Today the air is too dry, so the trails disappear immediately. Try to explain that to people who believe in chemtrails nonsense!

@CarlowWeather Oh my, incoming!! 😁

@frank_oconnor @judesherry @anoisagency Cracking building and yes something should be done with it.

With asylums in the news in terms of the 1926 census its worth reminding that the seriously well built St Finan's Killarney (which was opened in 1852 & in use to 2011) has been abandoned by the HSE since 2012 So many good reasons to convert to much needed homes #DerelictIreland

#Chelsea as a Club are a mess, spent billions, not millions but billions and are such a poor squad. An owner who has no idea about football and a squad on huge contracts, but overall, poor, poor players for what the outlay has been. #BHACHE #PremierLeague

Gabriel very very lucky to be on the pitch still. #MCIARS #ManCity #Arsenal #PremierLeague

@indykaila This is not news ffs.

Exclusive 💣 Richard Hughes is really the key player in keeping Arne Slot at Liverpool. He’s all in on Slot for next season and has plans to bring in two pacey wingers to shake things up. Now, Michael Edwards is still on the fence about Arne Slot, which adds some tension. Since Hughes is calling the shots on football decisions, it puts Edwards in a tricky spot. If Michael Edwards wants to move on from Slot, he’d have to go against Richard Hughes, and that could really sour their close relationship. Will Hughes get his way, or will Edwards make a bold move to override him? All information above has come from reporter who works closely with us.

@TheStingisBack Brilliant movie.

All the President’s Men turns 50 today. This famous “six‑minute shot” is a masterclass in phone acting and pure technical nerve. Director Alan J. Pakula and cinematographer Gordon Willis pull off a single, unbroken slow zoom: from a wide, humming newsroom to a tight close-up on Redford. No cuts. No safety net. Tension builds in real time. Redford carries it with typical quiet confidence. Six minutes of note-taking and talking into a phone, no flashy “Oscar clip.” He even flubs a name (“McGregor” for “Dahlberg”), corrects himself naturally, and Pakula keeps it because it feels authentic. The background is part of the story. As Woodward hones in on his phone call, everyone behind him huddles around a TV watching Senator Tom Eagleton resign. The contrast is deliberate: they chase the “obvious” headline, while the camera drifts past them to Woodward, and the real story. To hold Redford and the busy background in focus early on, they used a split‑diopter lens, then had to ease it out as the camera moves in. A technical tightrope. The timing of both actor and cinematographer is spot on. As Woodward closes in on the truth, the world literally falls away: the newsroom blurs, the noise fades, and we lock into his obsession. It’s one of cinema’s great moments: Redford doing almost nothing—and somehow everything at the same time. What makes this shot brilliant is the contrast it carves between Redford and the newsroom around him. The visual language does the talking: he’s locked in, disciplined, driven, all focus and fire. He stands apart because the work matters more than anything else.

Not watched many #Movies over the last 3/4 years or so, find the standard in general has been very, very poor. Possibly the weaking time in movies in my lifetime, I am 54. Just me?

@DubGAAOfficial 10 down at the break was a hill to climb but the lads gave a great account in that second half, certainly an improving side. We are not miles off the best. We just need to tighten things up and improve on parts of our overall game plan.

Our Senior Hurlers edged out after a thriller here in Limerick Hard luck, lads 💙 #UpTheDubs
