I was explaining to an English coworker how there’s a different Tayto crisps in Ireland and Northern Ireland with a different Mr Tayto. He said, “I get it. When you eat the Irish crisps, you’re eating the body of Mr Tayto. When you eat the Northern Irish crisps, it represents the body of Mr Tayto.”

An English folk trio sang a song about it. I love it so, it actually makes me a little teary:

Gonna do some self promotion today for no good reason, just because. My folk-horror movie ALL YOU NEED IS DEATH is on VOD right now, it's about a cursed Irish folk-song that destroys the lives of those who transcribe it. It's on Prime: www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

All You Need is Deathwww.amazon.com A young couple, who are a part of a mysterious, secret organization, travel at night with the desire to discover forbidden knowledge. They believe that living, modern alchemy is contained in old, forg...

I'm 4km from Ramstein playing in the RDS and I can feel it through the walls I'm loving how how annoyed the good people of Dublin 4 must be right now I think they may also have set fire to an oil terminal too

Today I learned that for Furiosa, George Miller cast a bunch of local Australian kids who had been victims of bullying or abuse because he was impressed by their stories and thought they'd have a good time being War Boys. THAT'S NEAT. www.tumblr.com/cerebrobulle...

🫧Future Bog Body🫧www.tumblr.com Need more of the Witnessed War Boy who was shot in the head and survived and continued on thru the rest of the movie like the lil badass he is. Did he have a name? Look he just needs more attention…

Every time I see "AI" being crammed into another consumer product I think of how in the 50s we put radium in suppositories because "the atom" was the snakeoil hype of the moment

Quite the thread. But you still have to vote in it to ensure the headbangers don’t get any traction.

The European Election in Ireland is an embarrassing car crash: a thread Let's open up with crank radio host Niall Boylan deciding to run for election. His old material, from when he was a young, naive man in his [checks notes] late 40s, immediately resurfaces. We are off to a very bad start. 1/

#journorequest - looking to talk to young people in Ireland who will be voting for the first time this year to take part in a short vox pop. It's a good opportunity to get their voices heard - might suit people interested in journalism or politics. If any thoughts DM ASAP TODAY. Shares appreciated.

Given how quickly Google search is falling off a cliff... Has anyone had a good experience with kagi, or the like, which they would recommend?

The one - ONE - small problem with Rishi Sunak's national service plan is that I'm from Derry and if someone had told us to join the British Army aged eighteen, the entire city would have beaten them to death with hammers I can tell you that much.

Then there was that time in 2017 when I made an infinitely looping Moebius comic strip

Gonna be awkward for the tech bros when the only commercial use of LLMs turns out to be a low bandwidth UI for the technologically incompetent and people who can't use their hands right now

This news only amplifies the importance of supporting local and Irish businesses. Your Irish retailer offers an alternative in most cases. The effort made during the pandemic to support Irish businesses who were at risk of closing, applies even more so now. #ShopIrish www.rte.ie/news/busines...
