Since the winner of the Booker Prize will be announced tonight, a reminder that Muriel Spark helped spread a rumour during the 1994 ceremony that Iris Murdoch’s husband was stealing potatoes from guests' plates 🥔

If you saw that clip of the Israeli podcasters enthusiastically embracing genocide, and wondered what kind of poison a person's brain would need to marinate in, and for how long, to lead them to think and speak in that way, this thread is grimly clarifying

🧵This clip is circulated as example of how low Israeli discourse sunk during the war, but imo its other way round: "Radio Rwanda" has been our background noise for decades. It's a cause, not consequence, of Israeli wanton cruelty in Gaza. Here's my journal entry from Nov 2007..

I think what I object to most about the 'Dublin as warzone' rhetoric, aside from the insufferable melodrama, is that it's acting as fog for the various very real civic management crises that we, the people of Dublin, have been pointing out for two decades. TLDR - shut the fuck up

Replying to @brandnewretro
I think you posted a great photo of Pat Egan with Phil in a diner on Dorset St. or close by before.

If we could all just take a moment to appreciate the stunning cinematic beauty of this scene. The bravado, the little shake of the hips, the half brick to the back of the head and, of course, the coup de grâce…..the agonizing strike to the knackers. 10/10😍 #Southport

In attempt to get ourselves retrospectively cancelled and maybe a boxset, here's The Jimmy Cake disrespecting Christianity about 20 years ago. Beat that Olympics

Just checked and Elon has indeed also opted people in the EU into giving #GROK full access to their twitter content to train the AI - you can't tun this off on mobile but need to go into your settings on a desktop as shown below Privacy & Safety -> Grok. This has tp a giant fine?

Q2 results are out and it was a strong quarter. Lots of reasons why it’s such an exciting time for us. Here’s a sneak peek, but I’ll share more in a few minutes on our investor call. Congrats to the team and huge thanks to all the Spotify listeners around the world.

🚨Flashing images🚨 In 1989, Children's BBC music show What's That Noise invited Napalm Death on to give the kids a boot up the jacksie. Craig Charles is phenomenal: "This is music for young lovers, step aside Kylie Minogue!" PARENT HAZARD WARNING!

The "economic analysis" of the Dublin City Transport Plan is garbage. Read why in a piece I wrote for @thejournal_ie below

A new economic analysis claims to show a lot of problems with the new Dublin city transport plan – but it doesn’t stack up, writes Dr Barra Roantree.

I never knew any of this - the stars of the Blair Witch filmed and improvised the entire film themselves, were barred from doing publicity or taking other jobs before its release, and then completely cut out of the film's insane profits afterward. variety.com/2024/film/news/b…
