John Oliver did a brilliant piece on McKinsey on #LastWeekTonight but I can’t help preferring Johnson’s analysis on Peep Show. youtu.be/Xgveuzf-ZZw?si…

I find search results to my queries are much better on Reddit than on Google. I think Google search is defunct.

Giraffe, with Kevin Gilbert, covering The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in its entirety from Progfest 1994. Incredible. bilibili.com/video/BV1XF411…

It's hard to convey just how brilliant The Talos Principle 2 is. Buy it now. If you haven't played the original, get that amazing game, finish it and then play the new sequel. Masterful stuff.

Guy at top with most to lose, cheerfully and inexplicably welcoming the cause of his future losses.

It’s Always Sunny In Dogpatch Labs.

You know, a town with money's a little like the mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it. Come on, Hinsdale, put yourselves on the map!

Memories of my favourite shop sign from London… but only for the Irish. Must have taken this 10 years ago, and it’s still open.

Steely Dan knocked off the top!

This practice is needlessly bureaucratic. If an application is being rejected, the Land Registry knows why. Not simply passing on that reason is a public sector power-trip. There’s no additional admin - it’s being rejected for a reason. Just note it down.

A former hotel - a HOTEL - disused for 11 years. For years, housing tourists from around the world, next to a school, but now unsuitable for housing refugees from around the world… Michael Burke and Mayo Fine Gael - shame. Much coded racism built into this electioneering.

The Irish Times “Malahide pedestrianisation to go ahead with huge support and some opposition”, there fixed it for you. This article reads like it’s the council against the people when in reality, a very large part of the community love that the street is safer, quieter, has cleaner air etc

Douglas Barrowman's businesses made £100m+ mis-selling tax avoidance schemes on an industrial scale to people on modest incomes. We have new evidence that the schemes involved fraud against their clients and HMRC. Thread:

Michael O’Leary’s Randian argument can be distilled as “I want to make more money, but rules, regulations and the climate emergency keep preventing me making more money, so anyone who blocks me is an idiot”. #ryanair @TodaywithClaire

Two sentences that I didn't expect to hear from Maria Steen née Davin: “I think the point is every mother needs to make that decision for herself, and she’s the one who’s best placed to do that.” “The State should strive to support women in their choice.” @RTÉRadio1 #Brendan

Given it’s a competition raid to determine evidence of cartel activity, very easy to figure out which companies are involved. Particularly city-centre one. Home alarm companies targeted in dawn raids by competition watchdog and gardaí irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024…

Very disappointing. I don’t understand why the referendum wasn’t simply a deletion of the sexist and archaic provision about women having “duties in the home”. Government must shoulder blame for a confusing and poorly-run campaign. #Referendum2024
