I really wish restaurants and shops opened later in Dublin, especially in the summer with the long evenings. It was bright at 10PM yesterday and yet every single one of the restaurants in my area was closed.
When I was in Paris a few months ago we went out for dinner after 10PM and there was an abundance of choice, yet in our capital city you wouldn’t find a place.

🚨 Jamie Carragher Blasts Ronaldo After Uzbekistan Brace: "This Changes Nothing"
🗣️ "I've seen people acting like Ronaldo just scored a World Cup final winner against prime Germany. Let's calm down for a second.
Yes, he scored two goals. Fair enough. Strikers are supposed to score goals. But the reaction from some of his fans has been absolutely unbelievable. Social media is flooded with posts talking about 'greatness', 'legacy' and 'the GOAT debate being over' because he scored against Uzbekistan in a group-stage game.
This is exactly the problem. Context disappears whenever Ronaldo scores.
Meanwhile Messi came into the tournament and immediately scored a hat-trick in his first match and followed it up with a brace in the second. Five goals in two games. Yet somehow the conversation today is about Ronaldo finally opening his account against opposition that nobody expected Portugal to struggle against in the first place.
The standards are completely different.
When Messi scores five goals in two games, people say, 'That's Messi being Messi.' When Ronaldo scores a couple against a team ranked far below the elite nations, some fans start talking as if football history has been rewritten.
The GOAT debate was settled by performances on the biggest stages, against the biggest opponents, under the biggest pressure. That's where Messi separates himself. World Cup finals, Champions League finals, Copa América finals — those are the moments that define legends.
Messi has spent years making extraordinary performances look normal. Ronaldo fans have spent years turning ordinary moments into extraordinary celebrations.
Messi remains the benchmark. Messi remains the standard. And for me, Messi remains the greatest footballer the game has ever seen."

We have plenty of rain to come between Thursday and Monday with some heavy falls possible Wednesday night and Saturday night. Over 30mm is possible for many areas between now and Monday morning with over 50mm in a few spots. The good news is weather models continue to show higher pressure building over Europe next week that could bring us more settled and warmer weather. More detailed information for Friday and weekend in the coming days.

@messedupfoods Fuck non-tippers, unless I have enough for 40%, I don't go out to eat. I don't always give that much... But.

@Coel_Jathro @slimvnsn We grew up doing sleepovers at friends. Not everything has to be sinister.

My son is 3. He has a best friend named Marcus from daycare. Marcus's dad and I nod at each other during pickup. That's our whole relationship.
Last Wednesday he texts me: "Marcus won't stop asking about Eli. Saturday work?"
I say sure.
He picks Eli up at 10. By 11 I'm on the couch. Not doing anything. Just. Sitting. I didn't know I missed sitting.
Noon I eat a full meal. Hot. At the table. No one grabbed anything off my plate.
2pm my wife asks what I want to do. I didn't have an answer. I forgot I got to have one.
Marcus's dad texts at 5: "They're good. Eating now."
Cool. Great. Perfect.
7:45 he calls. "Marcus is losing his mind about Eli leaving. Sleepover?"
I said yes so fast I scared myself.
Drove home. Stopped for gas I didn't need. Just stood outside in the parking lot for a minute.
Went inside. Told my wife.
She had already opened a bottle of wine.
We watched two full movies. Nobody woke us up at 6am. I laid in bed until 8:47 just because I could.
Marcus's dad drops Eli off Sunday. Eli walks in, looks at me once, and goes straight to his toys.
Didn't ask where I'd been. Didn't care.
Bro same.

Higher ups in WWE reportedly don't view Ilja Dragunov as a "top guy" and instead see him as more of an interchangeable midcard wrestler.

@Mick_Finnegan A special moment. You'll never forget it. Congrats!

@WrestleOps The ship has sailed for him. WWE should have struck when the iron was hot back in 2025.

LA Knight feels that due to a lack of direction for him on TV the crowd reactions for him are not the same as they used to be anymore:
“The crazy thing is, there were a lot of people leaning on the idea [that he was] going to be a flavor of the month, that [his popularity] was going to be a passing thing, and here we are 2026, I walk in the ring. Now you could argue, yeah, maybe the reactions aren’t quite as big as they were at that time — However the reason it’s not as big as it was, is because right now — I don’t have a set trajectory at this moment — So it’s a matter of making sure I’ve got direction, somewhere to go, and somewhere that people care about.”

If WWE ever wanted to dismiss the notion that their booking is stagnant, they should have had Jacob Fatu win last night.
What interesting concept of Roman Reigns having to serve Jacob and be Champion. This would have actually added a compelling element to the Bloodline story arc, since WWE HAS to revisit it.
Instead they go with tired old tropes and lazy booking if MFTs vs Bloodline. Just coasting to the next PLE. Give us excitement. Give us unpredictably. It’s sorely lacking right now.

@EliteClubS0B It's clear they didn't have a long term plan for Gunther.

The guy who retired Goldberg, retired AJ Styles, and retired John Cena by making him tap out for the first time in 20 years just lost to Cody Rhodes.
One of the worst booking decisions of the year.
