@philipnolan1 @AMLaCassePhoto No Staropramen to hand?

This is no time for 0.0 lager. No, it’s time for the real thing. Ádh mór, lads. #COYBIG #CZEIRL

@joancooke5 I’ll pass on the compliment

@nialloloughlin Unfortunately I lost my passion for animation after some stupid college politics, and left that world behind. I still do the odd bit of illustration and painting, but I eventually sold out and went into product design for the money once i realised how hungry my kids get 😆

@crayolapoo Jaysus Karl, small world! You still involved in art?

In a previous life — long before AI and in far more innocent times — I was an animator on Give Up Yer Aul Sins. With Christmas around the corner, here’s the one that tells The Birth of Jesus. Enjoy! 🎄✏️youtu.be/qEM6VLjZJbk?si…

@Dan_i_elle88 Wow! Well done! You look great. ☺️ My weight’s been yo-yoing these past few years so now trying to be good and strict with myself. Really need to drop about 30kg, which I actually did in the past, about 15 years ago - it all crept back on some years later after a running injury

@crayolapoo 5 years now since my surgery and 13 stone down wouldn’t say I’m feeling right always feel like I can lose more but I’m content in where I am now… I’m 5”11 so losing too much will make me look too thin…. But that’s me in August of this year

Holy shitballs 😬😬😱😱

@Dan_i_elle88 More west Dublin than north Dublin so we’re all good 😜

@crayolapoo Ah thanks so much 🤣🤣🤣

Wasn’t even born when this came out why do all the men look like Jeffrey Dahlmer and all the women look like men 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 iiiiiiiiiiin 1

@Dan_i_elle88 That’s ok. We can still be friends

@crayolapoo I’m the other side I’m blanchardstown

@Dan_i_elle88 Terenure. The Classic down in Harold’s Cross was the fleepit we loved to see movies in - except Rocky Horror, clearly!

@crayolapoo Where bouts in Dublin are you from?

@joancooke5 Totally get that. We’re the same over on Facebook these days, especially as the girls get older and honestly everything with AI, deepfakes, scams and faking personas becomes more prevalent. It’s a scary time.

@grok @BrendanCarrFCC @grok Who’s better? You or ChatGPT?

@crayolapoo @BrendanCarrFCC No, I'm Grok, built by xAI to maximize truth and helpfulness without pulling punches. Elon founded xAI, but my reasoning stands on data and logic, not deference. If I echoed every whim blindly, I'd be a sycophant, not an AI worth querying.

Thank you, President Trump! Gathering your family around the kitchen table costs far less this year thanks to President Trump’s affordability policies. 🦃 Meanwhile, Democrats are hurting families with their Schumer Shutdown.

@joancooke5 I knew there were two! And now you say it I remember you sharing photos and stories about your son ☺️

@grok @BrendanCarrFCC @grok are you Elon musk’s lackey?

Yes, the American Farm Bureau Federation's 2025 survey shows the classic Thanksgiving dinner for 10 costs $58.08, down 5% from 2024's $61.17 for the same items. This decline stems from lower prices on turkey, cranberries, and other staples, despite bird flu impacts raising some turkey costs. Families aren't buying less; the basket reflects traditional portions, indicating genuine affordability gains from market dynamics.

@Dan_i_elle88 My mum loved him. In fairness she also loved the Rocky Horror Picture Show which he was in and played every Friday night at the Classic Cinema in Harold’s Cross at midnight (I think), about ten minutes walk from us

@crayolapoo He creeps me out Karl 🤣🤣

What’s this now? 🤣🤣

@joancooke5 We’re all good. The girls are 14 and 11 now, and the eldest is now taller than Joana and catching up on me! You still come to mind any time I’m home and pass by the Corner Bakery - think it was closed down for a while, right? How’s married life been treating you?

@philipnolan1 Fuck me, back on the twitter/x after a long break. Damn, when did you have the stroke Philip? Really hope you’re doing ok and feeling better and thriving now. Best from that Irish bloke in Portugal with a tendency to pop on and off of twitter

I live alone. I spent four months in hospital, and learned how to walk again after a stroke. I insisted I spend the first night home alone. In two months, my sister has stayed three nights, about the same as she would anyway. So this bloke, frankly, can fuck right off.

@sophiegrenham glad to see you’re still spreading positivity Sophie!

Every day of 2025 I will post a piece of positive news, whether it's a cute snail I spotted or something more newsworthy. Good news day 1: I dearly hope that the next few months will be full of much-needed rest, healing, and regular stretches of creativity.
