Was feeling extremely gaslit by this until I remembered the vikings aka Scandinavians stopped by these parts a time or two! Separate etymology my ass.
The Irish word smack means a hiccup, so, catch, or stutter, and is also used in names for birds like the magpie (snag bhreac) add woodpecker (snag darach). The English word “snag“ has a separate etymology, likely coming from Scandinavian and meaning an obstacle or projection.

Is there any chance someone was late for work, chanced their arm and things got out of hand
The new IRB: Who are the group calling themselves the Irish Republican Brotherhood? This version of the IRB has a shadow government, a nascent court system and a network of local government bodies. It has also adopted a new time zone: Irish Rising Tome, which is 25 minutes slower and based on the time zone used in Dublin until the 1916 rising. It even claims control over Óglaigh na hÉireann.

Always been a huge fan of the genre of “recipes lying about how long it takes to caramelise onions” and just spotted an absolute belter
Sauté the vegetables: in a deep, medium frying pan or saucepan, add a drizzle of oil, place on medium heat and add the onions, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and beginning to caramelise.

I was actually looking for a specific Wooster quote but thanks for the attempt, AI
AI overview: the phrase “PG Wodehouse Buffy tea seems to be a humorous blend of the author PG Wodehouse, known for his comedic novels, and Buffy, a character from the television series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.“ While not a direct reference in Wodehouse’s works, it can be interpreted as a playful mashup, suggesting a world what has his characters might find tea and witty banter is suitable response to supernatural situations, according to a blog post discussing a story that combines Wodehouse and Buffy.

I’m still furious (also writing out this alt text nearly killed me)
From tumblr via rooksilver: So you’re telling me. There’s an adaptation os Orpheus and Eurídice where Eurídice was falling out of love with Orpheus before her death but didn’t know how to tell him. And when he walks into the underworld to get her back, she’s forced to confess that you planned to leave him?? And she’s the one to ask him to look back, but he doesn’t want to, because he knows she isn’t coming with him??? You’re telling me that when he finally looks back, he does lose her, but only because he’s letting go??? You’re telling me it’s about grief? About drifting apart?? About moving on??? About live, and how it’s messy, and how sometimes it just doesn’t work out even if you go to hell and back for it, because we’re human and that’s our tragedy???? You’re telling me Netflix CANCELLED it?
