It's the end of days. The long-dormant volcano on Arthurs Seat has erupted again, releasing the Four Horsman of the Apocalypse (who are en route to East Pilton).

Came across this poster in a montage that’s part of A New Form of Beauty: Dublin youth culture, street style and subculture history, 1960s to 1990s in Collins Barracks Museum. Tickets in 1973! 😁

“If this madness does not end …history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you choose not to stop.” Posted by Al Jazeera reporter Anas Al-Sharif shortly before he was murdered by Israel. #WarCrimes #Genocide #Gaza Israelis starve & butcher innocent people

#TroubleTuesday #Horslips Marty Healy leads a performance of “Trouble with a capital T” at 'Stories Of The Land' for the opening event at Fleadh Mhor Dhoire September 2021 youtube.com/watch?v=WzF9C4…

At gathering of NUJ members in Dublin, while extending sympathy to families/colleagues of murdered Al Jazeera Breaking News journalists, NUJ’s Séamus Dooley said, “This is the latest attempt to silence to media in Gaza while keeping out global media”#STOPKILLINGJOURNALISTS

Tony Wilson wrote about #Horslips 14th August 1975. His template for this article has been much copied in the 50 years since. Not! You start cooking Chinese Irish Stew, end with Thin Lizzy, and travel the world with Horslips in between. Dizzy!

A shout-out for the Papermint Store on Terenure Rd East, Rathgar and the very cool Emeri, with thanks for the love being shown Pure Gold 🙂

My dishwasher was making a thumping noise and then stopped. It reminded me of this tune! So I set my phone to play it and shoved it in with the dishes. When the tune finished everything was squeaky clean and the glasses were sparkling! youtu.be/NcMCf75mxXA?si…

“Then when we danced all the stars fell in the sea” I was walking by the sea tonight and spotted a newborn Satellite Train rolling across the sky overhead. Deadly! I’d guess it was the ‘10-20 Starlink’ set launched today, Aug 14th. “Easy connections lost in the cold twilight”

Martina Devlin’s 3 summer reads are Best Friends Andrew Meehan, The Mandarins Simone de Beauvoir AND PURE GOLD! whose author is (ahem) “an intuitive interviewer who avoids the soundbite, instead persuading his subjects to share their innermost thoughts.”😊 independent.ie/entertainment/…
