ALBUMS OF 2026 THREAD
Always try to listen to 40-50 new albums a year, gonna be trickier this year cause none of my big favourites have releases scheduled.
Managed 45 last year, lots of good ones, not many years I’d find five different 5 star albums

Maneskin’s Winter Olympics Halftime Show has been postponed indefinitely due to an investigation discovering that we are not at the halfway point. Also the guitarist has lost two fingers to frostbite while the lead singer, suffering from paradoxical undressing, has run off into the Alps in the nip

Me seeing post-Super Bowl praise for Green Day:
“Oh yeah buddy? Did you immediately call 21st century breakdown a masterpiece? Did you make a playlist of the Best Tracks from Uno Dos and Tré? Did you try really really hard to have a fav Father of All track? Honestly how fucking DARE you, you poser”

In retrospect it wasn’t my best move to respond to my mother’s “what are you seeing in the cinema this weekend” text with just the words “Send Help” without explaining that’s the name of the film. As she informed me in the immediate subsequent panicked phone call

House in our estate puts out flags for 6Nations games so Italy, Scotland, England & Wales ones out today and it’s hard to express how much less respect I have for someone who doesn’t put up a George’s Cross for nationalistic reasons but to act as some kind of middle class semaphore teletext

A fun idea I’d like to pitch to gym owners is to have a couple of hollow but throwable weights that patrons like myself can hurl at teenage lads who start playing slapping and chasing games in the fucking gym. @me for an exciting business opportunity

Private consultants and their secretaries gotta be the most careless fuckers in the health system cause what the fuck do you mean that you were paid €300 for a 10 min visit 2hrs late just to organise an emotionally charged surgery that you didn’t schedule with the hospital and now won’t take place

The DUP are such an embarrassing bunch of losers to be representing the last gasps of British colonialism on this island, like I bet the spirits of Pope Adrian IV, William of Orange, Oliver Cromwell, James Craig and the lads cringe every time one of these gobshites tries to act hard
The DUP's Gregory Campbell took issue with Connolly for repeatedly referring to 'Derry' but not 'Londonderry'.

A hUachtarán, a chara, please can you use your unflappable skills in both diplomacy and hoops to intervene in the Giannis trade saga
It’s not just football tricks that President Catherine Connolly has up her sleeve – she can also score an impressive backwards basketball shot.

When Martin is gone from Irish politics, this sneery, churlish expression will be enough to explain his tenure to future generations. A man who will be utterly defined in history by how confidently wrong he was about fucking everything
Taoiseach calls report that found Ireland could face possible costs of €27 billion over unreached emissions targets “highly speculative and uncertain”.
Hugely irresponsible, even if we didn't know that climate collapse will be calamitous in every other way too.
