Was leaving a review for Monty’s (just go, it’s always a pleasure), and saw this. This person is clearly living life as it should be lived.

A five star review from Anonymous on 26th June:

“Momos, Tandoori butter chicken, naan. All else in life is irrelevant.”

We’re a challenging country tbf

Screenshot from Reddit:

When an Irish colleague says a task is "not urgent at all," how do you know whether they secretly mean it needs doing today anyway?

I am used to fairly direct workplace communication, so l keep misreading the softer Irish version.
On Monday, a colleague gave me a document and said to check it "whenever you get a chance." On Thursday, he casually asked whether I had forgotten about it.
Another person regularly says "no panic," then checks back two hours later because they actually need the answer before lunch.
Nobody is being rude, and I am definately learning that tone matters more than the words. I just have not figured out the scale yet.
Is there a reliable difference between "no rush," "when you can," and "whenever you get a chance"? What phrase genuinely means it can wait until next week?

What’s your sign

A lit sign that says “Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future”

Nice.

Screenshot of a Reddit reply:

“Some people think that "móra na Maidine dhuit" stems from the goddess Mór Mumhan and that it might have been a survival from prechristian.”

What are the chances of finding my grandmother in the 20 mins before the cemetery closes?🫠 Sure listen, I visited Sinead O’Connor again anyway. Nice to see people have come and placed crystals on top of her grave.

Just had one of these guys in the house. A Brimstone moth, beautiful, bright yellow. Back outside now but sat happily on my hand for a bit before flying off. (Not my pic)

Friend, judging people silently is as quintessentially Irish as it gets.

A YouTube comment:

“As an American with Irish/German heritage, I'm so glad I didn't inherit traits from either cultures. And I just judge everyone silently.”

Now why am I not surprised?

Screenshot from Wim Hof’s Wikipedia page:

“In 2024 the Dutch paper de Volkskrant published an extensive article which mentioned his domestic abuse, for which he was convicted in the Netherlands in 2012.[37. In 2012 Hof was found guilty of domestic violence against the eighteen-year old son of his then-girlfriend Caroline. He was sentenced to 40 hours of community service and fined €350, equivalent to €440 in 2023. 38]”

Much like this person, I have given up on MyGovID. I’ll do it the one fashioned way, lads. Nothing is worth this stress in an already stressful world.

Ratings and Reviews

As Useful as a Chocolate Teapot

The government website will not allow you to apply for a Public Services Card online, but instead celebrates their alleged arrival into the modern world by alerting you to the good news that you can apply for one using their app. Once you download this, you must verify your identity.
When this has been achieved, you attempt to log in to the app once more, and to your surprise you are once again asked to verify your identity.
When you do this you are told that you have already verified your identity (you knew this).
Slowly you realise that you have crossed the MyGovID event horizon, and like a black hole formed from the collision of public service and technology, there is no way out of this spiralling circle of doom. Suddenly, a radical solution presents itself - go to an Intreo office and speak to a human.

The childless women have been mothering the world and elevating culture as aunties, godmothers, teachers...you do not need to push out a baby to help push humanity forward.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. She could STOP TIME people, just by pressing her index fingers together.

Out of This World.

Shit night, so I’m teaching myself to draw cats. I’m quite proud of this little guy💕

A cartoonish tuxedo cat, with a pink nose and sparkly eyes, a white bib, white paws and a white tip on his tail. Otherwise grey and black.

Why a trillion will not be enough for him, just like billions was not enough. He’s unable to answer the desire of the human heart.

"... Dreams provide the most interesting information for those who take the trouble to understand their symbols. The results, it is true, have little to do with such worldly concerns as buying and selling. But the meaning of life is not exhaustively explained by one's business life, nor is the deep desire of the human heart answered by a bank account."

Got a couple of cool bee pics today 🐝

The best girl.

A black and white tuxedo cat, distracted briefly by something out the window mid-grooming. Her green eyes are fixed on something, while her hind paws are splayed left and right, and a front paw is protecting her dignity.

Look, I found the tiniest German-English dictionary among old family stuff.

A tiny, smaller than the palm of my hand navy blue dictionary, in my hand.

Got my baby back from the bike shop. Look at her, she’s so lovely. My posts might be slightly less angry now.

Adding insult to injury, seagulls who have not been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition will steal your gluten free sandwich without an ounce of remorse, WHILE you are googling whether gluten free bread is harmful to them so you can give them a bit.

Screenshot from Reddit:

Are the seagulls in St. Stephen's Green getting formal military training, or what?

I was sitting by the fountain in St. Stephen's Green earlier trying to enjoy a quiet chicken fillet roll, and I swear I felt like I was in an action movie.
These aren't normal birds anymore. They don't just wait for crumbs; they execute coordinated tactical strikes.
One distracted glance at my phone and a seagull the size of a small terrier did a low-altitude swoop, clipped my shoulder, and nearly took the top half of my roll with him. The sheer audacity of them is unmatched.
Has anyone actually managed to finish a full lunch on a bench there without having to fight off an avian cartel, or should | just start bringing a decoy sandwich next time?

Just noticed at @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social don’t have X on their promo material anymore, but maybe give them a follow on here.

Mood.
