Irish BlueSky seems to be obsessed with zogabongs right now, and while I find it all very entertaining, I have yet to find an origin story for this current revival - anyone know anything??

I am sad to report that this is the end. When I worked in M&S, they only played obscure 70s and 80s pop, a lot of which I didn't know. But now? I hum along to Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous on the escalator, and openly sing to Stop by the Spice Girls packing my bag. NOW I AM THEIR TARGET MARKET.

I think it’s important to treat little kids like people, but sometimes regular grownup stuff just scrambles their brains. Have you ever met a three-year-old and told them: “I’ve heard so much about you!” Their expression is like…what the hell? How? Why?

Did you buy a book today? Borrow one from the library? Get a loan of one from a friend? Find one waiting for you on a park bench? Yes? Very good, carry on.

I have fought the good fight on behalf of Evan Ferguson many times. Unless we get a statement clarifying this, that's it for me.

Not finding the Damien Duff news quite as entertaining now that my own club appears to be in crisis. Life is too cruel. /s

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
The results were...interesting...

Everyone in Ireland needs to read this article - then make a vow to call out all signs of this behaviour EVERY single time. People are mindlessly allowing themselves to be used as a vicious army of trolls when there is NO reason for it.

Dear Jaysus, if you post a full thread on Bluesky, the whole thing is posted under "Replies", even the lead message which is the first one in the thread.
I keep thinking I can use this thing in the same way as the old place. I should know better.

Bit of a mad weekend even though the furthest I went from the house was the second-closest supermarket.
Buses in Dublin on Friday night were appallingly bad - I know it was Black Friday, but my God!! Ended up getting a bus halfway home because none of my bus routes seemed to be running on time 1/4

Summary for the uninitiated: journalist @katiehannon.bsky.social mistakenly tagged a Florida man in a post on #GE24 instead of political correspondent @mcculld.bsky.social. Irish social media being what it is, it snowballed - and here we are now 😂😂😂
