Thinking about being Irish and living in London in the ‘80s I went to a comedy club. The comedian asked “Is anyone here from Ireland “ I foolishly raised my hand. He said “If he leaves, we all leave”
Funny joke but still bigoted

I strongly disagree. You can dislike the ad (I do) but consent is not just about sexual relationships. It is actually healthy to teach children that they are entitled to physical boundaries & pointing out they are not obliged to embrace anyone (including grandparents) is good

In Iceland there are place names of Irish origins; Bekansstaðir (‘Beecan’s place’), Njálsstaðir (‘Nial’s place’) & Írafell (‘Mount Irish’)! There's also Irish names relating to the Papar (pre-Norse Irish monks) in the Faroes, Orkneys, Shetland Islands & Hebrides #LeifEriksonDay
The @DisneyPhotoPass photographers are a fantastic bunch but are working with the constraints of crowds. A little editing magic goes a long way.
A whole different kind of crowd control

No single genre of news story annoys me so much as the reframing of gross structural injustice as a “feelgood” story because strangers helped.
Texas delivery driver Don Johnson, 81, works 14-hour days to help pay wife's medical bills - strangers raise almost $250K trib.al/iOH2hYR

A new housing lottery has launched for "affordable" units in a new luxury building yet when almost 75% of the area's residents make less than the minimum required income, is it truly affordable?

I remember a joke about a barfly sitting day drinking and the bartender said “Jesus you smell like you shit yourself” . He said “I have” bartender l: “Why don’t you go and clean yourself” the response “I haven’t finished yet”

Nothing about this is motivational btw. Like there’s no way you can spin this to make it sound inspirational
An Australian competitor at HYROX Beijing suffered sudden fecal incontinence mid-race due to intense physical stress — but still pushed through and finished strong.
Race organizers confirmed they immediately isolated and disinfected the affected area, disposing of equipment and waste in line with regulations. After the event, they replaced the carpet and ran a full deep-clean of the venue.

Wild Montbretia in bloom and ‘A Fear Marbh’ (Inis Tuaisceart) resting on the horizon. Blasket Island views, a moody sky and a burst of orange.
