36 years ago, on the 9th of November 1989, during a press conference Günter Schabowski announced East German citizens could travel abroad with less restrictions and even permanent emigration between east and west would become possible, leading to the Fall of the Berlin Wall. #otd #history 🗃️

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Whenever I see that clip of Sydney Sweeney clearly refusing to denounce white supremacists…
All I can think is girl did an entire season on the Handmaids Tale and apparently came out of it thinking she wanted to be Serena Joy.

It's cool how when you try to search for the solution to a computer problem now you can pick from an AI summary, several out-of-date videos by a guy with a shitty mic, or some forum posts on the publisher's site dealing with an obsolete version of the software

"Through their own negligence, Fianna Fáil have given us a presidential election with an asterisk — the last thing that any state needs at a time when democracy across the world is being undermined."

Budget day is aways a bit triggering for me because I used to work in an off license and I would have to re-price all the wine bottles and fags after the tax increases.

I’ve been watching Coronation Street from 1974. All the men are sex mad drunks. In one episode, Billy Walker takes a pint of bitter back to bed with him at 9am and Annie Walker doesn’t even blink. They all happily chat up 16 and 17 year old girls. It’s wild.

This reminds me of when we found out that Jamiroquai dumped Winona Ryder because she wanted too much sex and her breasts were too big.
if you announce that you're breaking up with Nicole Kidman because she wanted too much sex you need to do it at a press conference where you're in a full body cast. just a little slit in the head area where a pair of wild, haunted eyes are staring out

This is a disaster for Micheál Martin as leader of FF. He handpicked Gavin & his party were divided on it. No doubt the ‘cute hoors’ will be calculating who can oust him! Chambers is prob sharpening daggers right now… [despite being gay, he campaigned against same sex marriage 🙄].

Seinfeld, Lost, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, The Traitors, Love Island, any other sci-fi, horror or fantasy stuff. I gave up on TV soaps 20 years ago.
Never went to Electric Picnic, cos camping with drunk people sounds like overpriced shite.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Me, at home: I hate tourists that reduce Ireland's culture and history to stereotypical tropes.
Me, in Sicily: I want a Nonna to adopt me to work as a moped delivery driver for her focaccia shop that's also a front for the Mafia.

I love Dublin in the autumn, but between this NFL nonsense, the Prezzie Lects & posters over the next month and *ahem* some other unpleasantness I'm staying away this time for a while.
One of Dublin's best-known street murals has been destroyed and replaced with NFL-themed graffiti ahead of an American football game in Croke Park this weekend

Aside from all else, this makes zero sense when you're talking about losing a popularity contest! Her not being liked enough IS the point.
A diehard communist would also never get the nom, so would Pat say this the far left being "excluded from public life" or does it simply reflect the electorate?

This piece opens with "It’s hard to escape the conclusion that Maria Steen should really be on the ballot paper for the presidential election"
It goes on to say "There is a danger that we are moving towards a situation where anyone who holds socially conservative views is excluded from public life"
