Thank you. I love that you're here, and that you answer questions from readers. It's a very nice, very nice human thing to do.

Also Hero is WAY cooler as a woman's name sorry not sorry

I am attempting to watch the brand new Young Sherlock on Prime and I have FEELINGS.

1/ The dude playing Sherlock is not physically refined enough, to be Sherlock Holmes

2/ The actor is Hero Beauregard Faulkner Fiennes Tiffin which, come ON

3/ WHAT have they done to Dónal Finn's lovely Cork Accent

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

@marthawells.com Hello! Can you settle the dumbest internet argument ever and explain the difference between Targets and Hostiles?

The Murderbot fan wars are getting ugly...

Thank you!

Taoiseach on RTE Radio again pedalling the myth that having a job makes disability and the cost of disability disappear - it doesn’t.

I think it has to appear in a paper or be available via a wire service to be eligible and I've only seen this online. It's up to him if he wants to license it, he may not want to.

But it doesn't change the fact that this is Pulitzer level and an incredible piece of historical documentation.

This is the last photo in that camera before @john-abernathy.bsky.social threw it. This is an incredible shot. Look at the reflection of the people running to him in the phone on the right side, while on the left side LEO is blocking the view of observers and protesters.

Jesus fucking christ.

What could the solution to this terrible problem be? If only we we're able to inoculate people against this terrible disease...

Tabloid headline "A Long Time Camán" with a picture of disgraced hurling legend DJ Carey who is awaiting sentencing for fraud after cheating people out of money to fund his fake cancer treatment. Camán is the Irish for hurley.

Bravo, headline writer 👏

Gin and tonic at the top of a dock on a lake

This day was wild but this gin and tonic is really good and this lake is really nice.

Caveat: I have not checked it for Nazis but if they're here they're at the bottom of it.

I did not have Charlie Kirk as Archduke Ferdinand on my 2025 Bingo card.

You may be delighted, as I was, to discover that the firstline treatment for spontaneous onset of TMJ is a cozy hot water bottle and a big fat Vallium.

Very occasionally I feel I am winning at middle age.

Is it us? Are we the left-wing socialist site?

Because YAY

Linocut of two nude 17th century women in a bed. They are topless and embracing beneath a sheet. Because they are BESTIES ok?

NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THESE TWO WOMEN IN BED TOGETHER ARE DOING. Historians say they were close friends.

Very fat dog sitting on dog bed in kitchen floor, barricaded from living room behind a box

If you're going to spend the day barricaded in the kitchen barking at the gas men, you might as well be comfy.

(She is a Dogue de Bordeaux. They are built exactly like baby hippos. She could certainly maul you to death but she absolutely cannot jump across that box.)

Thoughts and prayers! 🤨

I have faith in your ability to cosplay as a normie <3

If you are a fan of back-to-back action films, you can skip the first 11 minutes of Heads of State because it's all backstory you do not need, and then after that it is FABULOUS CHAOS.

Very recommended.

On a personal note, I'll just add that I think forgiveness is hugely overrated.

Day for the history books. On the macro level the world is in an absolutely perilous state. On the micro level I had two Menty B's, one panic attack, two valium, one beta blocker, and one 1-hour conversation with my solicitor cosplaying as my therapist.

HARD PASS

We have learned nothing.

Vast cost overruns are not due to good design. They are due to no design.

Also, why is our political system so aggressively mediocre?

In the hospital for my twice yearly hot date with the infusion unit.

They have lost my 8K infusion.

Let's hope they uh find it? I guess?

The only thing that would keep me up this late is conferring with my mother and ordering shoes online to be delivered to her three thousand miles away, because she has suddenly discovered she urgently needs gold flats.

I have also snuck in some biscuits and a case of ginger ale for hydration.

New Yorkers, you gotta elect Zohran Mamdani today.

We can't keep being the country that elects uncaring murderous rich sex pests into office then wondering why everything is bad

You must not let moneyed interests and apathy continue to destroy our futures. Vote today, then do even more tomorrow

Two figures at an outdoor picnic table each under an umbrella with open laptops

Three men around a laptop looking at god knows what kind of fancy data on a laptop in a cafe

Spent the day among incredibly enthusiastic #astrophysicists huddled over laptops, excitedly sharing data with one another. A great and timely reminder of how science is *supposed* to work.

Sadly no @drcarpineti.bsky.social at this year's European Astronomical Society annual meeting 😭

So it turns out that they key to getting a job as a woman actor over the age of 40 is to be cast in the Mission Impossible franchise where EVERYONE is over 40 in a very transparent effort to make 62 year old Tom Cruise look less like 62.

President Higgins says people in Gaza are being subjected to ‘forced starvation’ The National Famine Commemoration took place in Co Limerick on Saturday

“Gaza is a killing field – and civilians are in an endless death loop.”

I started out really liking #TheGorge but Anna Taylor Joy has evolved from a badass to someone who is constantly having to be saved by this (extremely hot) doofus and it's annoying now.
