*Cries in Galwegian*
I don’t know if anyone here is a boards.ie person, but I got the news this morning that M T Cranium, AKA Peter O’Donnell/Roger Smith, has died.
For 17 years he posted a daily Irish weather update on boards.ie’s weather forum. These would come to be trusted by 1000s.

Ahhh fuck I know those days and they are not. Nice. Don’t see yourself stuck now, plenty of us with upcoming paydays ready to help out.
*realises Ciara is a Kerrywoman, is confused as the other city can’t be Cork (bitter rivals) or Dublin (cos Dublin…)*
Careful, for a military expert that’s dangerous talk. Nothing crim rich fear more than “those who would” and “those who know how” converging…
And, just to mention the other great Kerry online artist making Good Trouble, I’d like to add that what Una Minh is to game programming @ciaraioch.bsky.social is to pencil art. The only reason I haven’t the art on my walls is I have no walls to put it on.
The hype is real, and straight. Both of ye.
I don’t know if it was the language being too verbose, my giving off “Middle Age ‘Centrist’ Dad” vibes, hangovers from my actual Centrist Twitter days ( “oh *THAT* MFer!!”) I’ll most likely never know.
I just hope I’m a Marley ghost to someone about to f-ck up similarly one day.
I can only think the block came from this, which I meant- I can’t see the post now, it was about keeping political pressure on Israel/countries that are too nice to them, which I back. I hope the petition got there & well beyond!

Okay, I’m now well aware of what Rejection Sensitive Dysmorphia is, so this isn’t hitting as hard as it would have been, say, 15 years ago.
But finding out the App rockstar Una Minh Kavanagh blocked me hits deep.
That said, the Right to Block is Absolute, so Fair Winds & Following Seas to her.
Actually that reminds me, I meant to ask you for some more of that yummy broth you served last week, my partner works for Soylent and she wants to bring it to work to see if they could go commercial with it!
(Sorry, It was too easy a joke to make at that hour. You’re absolutely right.)
It’s Saturday.
Mara, all you need is a run of standup and you. Are. Set. Taskmaster. Muppet Show. All there for a good comedian.
It’s like a Covid World Cup. We’ll watch from home.
IT’S THE MEME SONG!!! 🤣🤣🤣 #milancortina2026

Here’s hoping there’s a hockey team behind them one day #ireland #coybig #coygig

I’m sure you’re miles beyond the threshold by the time I spotted this, but it would be my pleasure to be that signature.
Wait what?
To be fair, the whole “BuT hEr EmAiLs” crowd would bellyache if there wasn’t, so I see this as a “FINE! HERE! LOOK!” smack in their faces
Was it an “i’m a monster so I gotta quit” or an “ooh ahh these gorls be gud but I get in trubble”
Anyone have experience and personal recommendations for carer support groups or similar groups for carers in Ireland, or good resources online? Particularly if you've done it while self-employed or without other support
I’d put it in another language to avert the eyes of scumbag pedantics.
Damn, I want
“Bring low the manipulators, who's abuse of power started this war, and cleave justice into the world once more”
on a tattoo.
People failing to think things through and relying on magical thinking about their own governance and security is how fascists fill the gaps and take over. Nothing is ever too grim, morbid, or frightening to plan for. Always be prepared, expect anything, and stay aware. We are adults, remember.

Absolutely worth your time for a read.
