The office market here in Ireland is tied to most of the major public pension funds. It's where most of thier rental income came from. Agree the office market should not be a belleweather for economic health however. We tend to work on a 4 day week anyway - but for that I blame our pub culture! 😅
Reckon they split down the middle. Blue vs red but it's house to house rather than state vs state. Global recession as the blue states pay for the red in the large. Bot farms and drone wars and last billionaire out get the lights - ggs, as the gamers say.
"... I hate this job. And these people."
"Blunt force trauma. Difficult to tell whether it was the novelty oversized plastic ice cream or the obnoxiously quirky steampunk umbrella that landed the fatal blow." "And the pink feathers, Detective?" "That would be from the flamingos, Ma'am. Occupational hazard here at CSI: Burning Man."
When we have to call a new batch of roofers over Storm Wubbo I'm going to have to try and keep a straight face.
*presence not passing - she dodged the microplastics in the avocado!
🤣🤣 It was never the lack of holidays for dear Susan, nor was it the prevailing absence of avocado that marked her passing. No, it was The Bucket that marked her as a keen saver in the perilous gig economy..
"SO MUCH PRODUCTIVITY!" "Why aren't people buying our product? Is it because they all lost their jobs--" "--PRODUCTIVITY!"
WW3 shaping up nicely. Still entirely unsure which side the Yanks are going to be on based on Trump's behaviour. EU needs a strategic defensive partnership with the UK, Canada and Australia like yesterday.
The-long awaited Mr. Beast/Jigsaw from Saw collaboration we never knew we never, ever needed.
Losing Trump will hit MAGA hard. Vance can't cushion the blow, he can only blow the cushion.
To quote Rick and Morty - "Your boos mean nothing - I've seen what makes you cheer!"
Times of Israel using this AI image of an Irish stereotype wearing a keffiyeh in their latest racist coverage of us. :D

These ghouls are going to put trans people in re-education camps at this point; and Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr and all the monosyllabic dudebros from the Roganverse are going to bear cultural responsibility for enabling this othering. Worth checking out The Elephant Graveyard on YT.
Wajo sees you. Wajo appreciates you.
Preem! We'll get to use all the hilariously 90's slang from Pondsmith's setting. Nova!
I wanna stay at your house has a Pavlovian response hardwired into my brain at this point. Presume it's an anthology rather than a direct continuation?

"I speel my drink!"
Think of all the Deus Ex sequels they could give us with Bob Page's 26 kids! 🤣😅🙏
How dare them lib dollars pay for all our red states! The damage done by Trump will be as much measured in the brain drain to Europe and further afield as it will in the loss of civil liberties. White podcast bros will have to self reflect on how much their 15 minutes of fame cost America.
It will never stop bemused me how much Elon Musk loves this franchise and yet is the closest thing to Bob Page we have in real life - they both even own firms called Neurolink! He thinks he's JC Denton and yet he's absolutely the evil techbro overlord. 😅
"More sauce?"
"Is it possible to learn this power?" "Not from a textbook. Because none of us can fucking read anymore."
💯!
I mean I don't know how he's allowed to continue to exist at this point, speaking as an external observer to the whole shitshow.
youtu.be/ewvRS3NwIlQ?... Probably the best encapsulation of how comedy was leveraged by billionaire techbros into laundering fascism (and their own reputations). It's a long journey. Worth every step. One of the disturbing through lines in the footage is Tulsi Gabbard. She pops up everywhere.
The amount of my fellow Irish people who have said to me they've no intention in setting foot in the States until MAGA is eradicated as a movement. Nativism is a bad look. We've our own contingent of gobshites over here but a lot of their funding is coming from the States.
That Zelensky has to so explicitly say thank you is such a damning indictment of how the Trump administration treated him previously.
Never let it be said thst Claude does not have a penchant for the dramatic. T minus 12 minutes to feeding time, and he has chosen to dramatically expire in the direction of the food bowl.
GOOD MORNING PREFERRED HUMAN. FOOD BOWL EMPTY. SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE FOODBOWL IS EMPTY AND IT WOULD BE REAL NICE IF YOU COULD REFILL (MAKE IT GREAT) AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. SIGNED CLAUDE BUTCHER OF DONNYBROOK P.S. HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPS
I can't believe nobody has made a redubbed parody of Mel Gibson's What Women Want; wherein instead of hearing women's innermost thoughts it's just Mel projecting his Antisemitic views onto women ...and the twist is he's just Mel Gibson on your average Tuesday.
So the Alien: Earth TV show is really bad. Really bad. It is difficult to overstate how disappointing it is, in a series that has disappointed in every installment after Aliens. There's a lot wrong with it. The tone is Marvel camp. But really my biggest quibble is the incessant Ice Age references.
Powdered Toast Man! Hilariously based on Kirk Douglas of all people.
Has anyone seen RFK Junior since?
There's a lot of belly aching over Newsom but lads you're out of time - the perfect cannot be the enemy of the good. He has the rhetoric and the communications skills to tackle Trump. The rest of the Democratic leadership are either still mealy mouthed or 5,000 years old. Take back your country.
He's smashing this messaging to be fair. The podcast shite with Bannon and Kirk was a misstep but Newsom has the media chops to match the Turd's. As an external observer to the States I'm cheering for him.
More like ew-genics! 🤣👍
Yarvin isn't a billionaire - he's a cancer and a eugenics ghoul but he's the fuel for the billionaires, which is almost worse! 😅
Yes!
💯 These tech oligarchs dangle these bonkers narratives just to afford themselves more rope to hang us with. These cretins have more power than nation states; preside over unregulated systems that weaponise human insecurity, division and our worst instincts; whilst indulging in widespread IP theft.
No Kings.
Oh I spent years getting in trouble with my Big Four Employers in real estate before realising that perhaps self employment was the better option for all concerned! This survey reminds me of those Great Place To Work Surveys where they data-track employee responses and mandate 100% ratings 🤣😅
"A six-fingered big titty goth girl with questionable clothing and dubious anatomy" was not on the menu, alas!
State sponsored criminality - the damage done by this administration will be generational in scope.
The US and the West are not going to recover from this wealth gap disparity. The train has no brakes, and we are fast running out of track. The States today: tourism gone, R&D defunded, allies menaced. They've let oligarchs perform mass IP theft under the blanket term of AI. Revolution is coming.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_N4... This Marc Maron guy is spot on - fuck Rogan and his fascist bros.
Also - make spaghetti. Please. 8 Mile cannot happen without it. Season 4's pacing really takes the piss. First two seasons were amazing though. But now my wife and I chuckle and declare "Sad Chicago montage!" whenever the show decides to be wasteful with our time again. 😅
I'm on episode 8 of The Bear and 8 episodes into a 10 episode season - and Tina is still failing to make pasta.
Blue skies over Dublin - another 5k to keep my inner fat child at bay. 😅
100%!
Late to this but the Channel 5 interview with Hunter Biden is incredible. Worth watching the whole thing. youtu.be/XBbkt2vYC4M?... I think he comes across as incredibly likeable, despite having made every bad decision a man can make.
One day my wife will remember not to leave crisps unattended. Today is not that day.
You chose a good week for it - last time I was there it was hosing rain! 🤣🙏🇮🇪
That's some Grade-A diplomacy right there, Mr. Huckabee. Which for some distressing reason (that is likely an indictment of my own lack of personal character) KEEPS auto-correcting to 'Suckable' for whatever depraved reason.
This should read hagiographic, but seemingly my fingers are too fat for this phone. 🤣🫡🇮🇪
Original Twin, by Jake Tapper. A searing and incisive take on why it was - in fact - the fault of the Democrats for not realising Donald Trump was a shorn Bornean Orangutan this entire time. Taken from multiple first-hand accounts and exhaustive ambition, Tapper's book is a hagriographic triumph.
He's on Israel's payroll I'm not entirely surprised. Schumer and Jeffries both need to go. Pelosi too. Outmoded, out-manoeuvred and entirely out of touch. It's no small wonder corporations are outstripping nation states in terms of power and influence when this is the quality of opposition posed.
Decades from now after the Weather Machine has wreaked its havoc and the Space Laser has carved a giant misshapen E into the otherwise tranquil expanse of Nebraska shall we know that no, actually; it was Elmo this entire time. Joke's on you, MTG. This misdirection brought to you by the letter "E".
(The poem was originally written about The Second Boer War but its applicability to The Great War and all other wars since; in the form of PTSD, remains tragically relevant today.)
youtu.be/RNZ5qylG3qk?... Used to great effect in 28 Years Later's trailer (and the movie itself); Boots by Rudyard Kipling. Incredible to think this recording exists since 2015. And what a line reading. A staccato pounding of a poem. Like a hammer to the skull. Like the very artillery itself.
This is precisely my brand of stupid. 🤣🙏
The grim truth is because it suits them. It suits them to have you divided, illiterate, numb. To be swiping and scrolling; otherwise docile. It worked for Reagan and Bush - and boy howdy is it working for the tech oligarchy that arose from the ashes of 2008. Less 1984; more A Brave New World...
2/2 "Of course you can read more about this in 'Muppets: The Shadow War', by Kermit T. Frog; an incisive primary source on the bloody internecine war unfolding in plain sight beneath America's hyperpartisan notice. That the Weather Machine was found to be under Elmo's control proved damning..."
"It should be noted that, up to this point in late American Republic History, Elmo had been a position held by a rotating series of not only puppeteers but also Muppets themselves; with several muppets having been either replaced-in-secret or otherwise assassinated.." - Revolutions Podcast, c. 2135
"...nuh-uh! YOU'RE the puppet!" "What does that even mean--" "RESIGN."
There's all manner of Irish. Nigerian-Irish, Chinese-Irish (my wife); Ireland has been quite diverse since about 2007 or so; particularly Dublin.
In a similar vein - BlueSky glurge taboos: - BREAKING (bonus points if it's something screamingly obvious.) - Let that sink in. (It has sunk in, I am positively fucking marinated at this point.)
I suspect she's there because she's Robert's daughter. And Robert was a valued member of Israeli's intel community. He was found dead of a heart attack off the side of his yacht, named Ghislaine after his equally infamous daughter. His funeral was attended by a who's-who of Israeli intel chiefs.
That's Gina Davis right? In which case it's Cutthroat Island, which was a spectacular financial flop.
Be that as it may, it doesn't make the reality any less true. Coddling MAGA hasn't worked. I have plenty of criticism for Newsom, but appearing on this podcast is actually the only way to confront their bullshit - by appearing within their information silos directly.
Delighting in the comments section of Gavin Newsom's 4 hour appearance on the Shawn Ryan show. It's a bot-farm vivarium. That, or America is truly fully tapped. California should probably just cede from 'Murica and let the deranged MAGAnites eat eachother in the ensuing collapse.
Also - people who listen to podcasts and audiobooks on 1.5x speed are psychopaths, not to be trusted. 🤣
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xx6... The Tommy Tiernan show is great - he's given no prep as to who he's about to interview (it's announced on the spot right before the guest walks out), so there's no artifice to the conversation. Blind Boy Boatclub looks a bit mad, but he's incredibly empathetic.
X is becoming a ghost town of bot accounts and clout chasers selling to eachother. They need the negative engagement to feed their desire for domination and superiority. Block and move on! It's like a small fire; better to starve it of oxygen.
Audiobooks are great as well. Some people sneer at them, but if I'm in a car going from A to B all day it's a great way to engage my brain as I go.
My advice would be to seek weapons training and look to the history of revolutions elsewhere; particularly in situations where the power gap between the occupied force and the insurgent element were drastically different. So the Irish War of Independence is one; analogue tactics. Lose the phones.
Your surname might mean Empire in German, but least you don't have to live with the crippling embarrassment that is Matt Walsh - truly the worst Walsh. 🤣 Appreciate all you do, Robert.
I couldn't agree more actually - scum the lot of them. It's been a slow moving trainwreck watching them poison YouTube since about 2015 or so. By the time the last US election rolled around the situation was too late; I felt like Cassandra yelling about an oncoming trainwreck.
I was there for my honeymoon (visiting inlaws) - amazing country. Merapi was stunning. I did feel like a giant, and I am only 6'1!
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
In today's edition of cursed data presentation, I present to you this master piece. Can verify. My wife was born in Surabaya and simply sits atop my shoulder as we adventure about the place, like a low-budget, live-action Studio Ghibli movie. She remains in charge.
Shapiro is an absolute specimen. Spends years courting the far right and then blinks in surprise when hey, surprise, all those "facts don't care about your feelings" anti-empathy goons turn out to be actual fucking Nazis. Enjoy the movie Maj! Superman was the original immigrant. 🙏
That QAnon worked itself into such a froth over "Pizza Gate" yet gives Trump a pass over Gaetz, Epstein and BEING a rapist; tells you everything you need to know: This is an ideology that transcends conspiracy and launched deep into the realm of faith long ago. There is no reasoning with fanatics.
A high-level intelligence gathering operation using New York's (quite often literally) high society as an entry point. Suspect it's an immediate continuation of whatever it was Robert Maxwell might have been up to. But then he wound up mysteriously dead, too. Did Ghislaine continue Dad's work?
It was either the US or Israeli intelligence. Worth reading a book on the late Robert Maxwell - Ghislaine's father - who may or may not have been assassinated on the yacht he named after his now equally infamous daughter. Fascinating character - he'll be the subject of a movie eventually.
"Pointy white hoods are a throwback to America's puritanical roots. Here's why." - New York Times, approximately 4-7 months from now, probably.
He's bang on.
If you think about it their climacy policies (or the lack of them) are trashing their own investment. The movie got panned for being "divisive" on release but Don't Look Up is proving prophetic. Meteor when, God?
"It depends on what you mean by 'questioning'?" - Jordan Peterson, probably. I adore Sagan; but a reminder that questions can also be employed as a tool of weaponised ignorance in today's media climate. Carl Sagan saw a lot of our current problems coming. A mercy in a way he isn't here to see it.
*Batman The Animated Series theme song*
Running DND for a team of Doctors and one of them developing and harbouring an entirely unplanned grudge with a random giant crab is cracking me up. We didn't plan for this moment to happen but the moment he spied the crab for a second time it was destined to end in violence.
When he dies I am going to drink all of the champagne.
