I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.
The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

Like…my parents have no fucking idea who Charlie Kirk is. What they’re going to get from the Times coverage is that he was a compelling speaker and gifted organizer who was martyred for free speech.

It was an absolute gut punch to hear about Brent Hinds yesterday. Mastodon’s been my favorite for over 20 years now. I was so excited to see them perform Leviathan last year and to see what he did next musically. One of the greatest to ever to do it. Play some Crack the Skye in his honor. RIP Brent.
