Phizzbrih surely, don’t take away ALL the glamour.

Bring Centres being closed on Sundays, when people actually have time to go to them, is madness.

The government's banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was UNLAWFUL, rules the High Court.

This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.

As the Olympics commence I’d like to share the fact that my friend Sarah records them in full and then consumes them in totality over the following two years. She has really been cramming them in over the last few weeks to make room for Milano Cortina.

'We're seeing eviction rates not seen in Ireland since the 1850s' The issuing of 5,000 eviction notices in three months last year is quite revealing when viewed against Ireland's historical record

"We are now seeing eviction rates that have not been seen in Ireland since the 1850s."

A damning reality laid bare in this piece of well-researched analysis.

I asked if I could write a review of The Muppet Show 50th Anniversary Special and they said yes It’s not easy being greenlit.

β€˜The show delivers fulsomely, and it probably delivers even more if you’re not watching through the same lens as me (completely freaking out that if they mess this up, then I can kiss The Muppet Show goodbye for another 45 years).’

They let me review the new Muppets Show special-slash-pilot.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

I've written about this phenomenon in my column quite a lot and spoken about it regularly on the @louisemcsharry.bsky.social podcast and if I'm being totally honest at this point I think it's being done specifically to bait me.

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

If you saw me having a verbal altercation with a literal shopping trolley just there in Cabra Tesco, no you didn’t.

Surrealing in the Years: We're entering a new era of lawlessness. Don't expect much help from our leaders Am I going completely insane?

'What is that supposed to mean? That the law is obsolete in the face of a white supremacist sexual exploitation material-generating machine?'

It's the first column of the new year and it's grimmer than ever before, my friends.

All the performances are great, Paul Mescal excellent, but Jessie Buckley deserves the keys to the universe, she is OUTSTANDING.

Went to see Hamnet, thought I'd finished crying in my seat before I left the screen but then had to stand bent over in a corner sobbing for five more minutes outside. (Complimentary.)

The spinelessness of our government is astonishing.

"The fascist enabling, CSAM-producing platform has some good features too, yanno?", is a hell of a take. Christ.

They need to be raked over the coals for this at every opportunity.

Desperately need to talk at length about the joy of living in an era where you get to grow up with your fave popstars and therefore still getting amazing pop songs relevant to your stage of life in your forties. (Re: Robyn, Lily)
