Walking through Stansted with a few kilos of Rooney in a suitcase which I drop in front of Greggs while my contact drops an identical suitcase full of banknotes. We do the switch without making eye contact.

Always repost ska Oscar Isaac.
Every day someone new learns that Oscar Isaac was in a late 90s Christian ska band. Who will today’s person be.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

Women saved Star Trek, women put together the first Star Trek con, women put together the zines and wrote the fanfic (and decided Kirk & Spock should be together and that ship was called Kirk/Spock and "slash" is literally a thing because of that slash). I could go on—

I'll be writing to the Electoral Commission suggesting that every polling station has tea and cakes in future
The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Got hit with a service charge when we were out for apres work drinks last night. For six people, in like, a normal bar. Not even a tourist bar, not in temple bar, just a pub that also has food. I feel violated.

Super sad to hear that #80s icon and artist Drew Struzan has passed away at the age of 78. Super talented. He was the illustrator of our childhood dreams! RIP Drew!

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I wonder, to what extent has the decline of things like the local pub contributed to young men in particular being drawn into these toxic manosphere ideologies. They aren't getting life advice from normie older people anymore and are instead getting brainwashed by Andrew Tate and his ilk.
Put down your phones and have a few pints. Good for you.

From the Roisin Murphy tweets I've seen on the Cookd and Bombd forum she's gone full Glinner. Air kisses to Helen Joyce, the only fans she's lost weren't real fans anyway: the works.

Ah I wondered about this.
I searched libgen itself, and it turns out they have almost every book Iron Circus has ever published. They don't show up in the Atlantic Search because they were uploaded without author names.

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social authors could help destroy them singlehandedly.
