Snorted on the luas at the part where politicians on one island said they were told to argue a point as passionately as possible but then vote the opposite way to be sure they would do the right thing.

Since Pascal stepped down I've hopped up to every doorbell. I've spoken to Ó Ceannabháin, two Jehovah's Witnesses & a gas salesman. The 3 in hand were delivered tonight while I read in my front room. I saw Jack Chambers posing for a photo on my road but spoke to no one.19 May 2026 20:30 +0000at://did:plc:7i6s3pm44dntyexcomtimdfu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmaa7uan4k2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/rothweeee.bsky.social/post/3mlxjoktoo22iVery fun time on the Royal Canal meeting the local soprano pippistrelle bats!16 May 2026 09:25 +0000at://did:plc:7i6s3pm44dntyexcomtimdfu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlxjoktoo22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/rothweeee.bsky.social/post/3mk5pdvbcls2vEven while understanding library jargon, this is still a very funny note.23 Apr 2026 09:32 +0000at://did:plc:7i6s3pm44dntyexcomtimdfu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk5pdvbcls2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/rothweeee.bsky.social/post/3mjposs5qkk2oThis is one of the best memes of all time.

The phrase "hidden gem" might actually have some meaning in this case. An underground monastery felt very apt for this weekend.04 Apr 2026 12:33 +0000at://did:plc:7i6s3pm44dntyexcomtimdfu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mioalnxyxs2chttps://bsky.app/profile/rothweeee.bsky.social/post/3mik5qcgy622aB̶o̶o̶k̶b̶u̶y̶e̶r̶ Librarian.

Yes. Am I annoyed that fairer fairweather fans are slowing down RTÉ player by tuning in for extra time when I've been here since the beginning of this match? Yes. ☘️🦜26 Mar 2026 21:48 +0000at://did:plc:7i6s3pm44dntyexcomtimdfu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhylfy47m22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/rothweeee.bsky.social/post/3mhsyh2aytk2pThis was fascinating! I am working on provenance research at the moment and struggling because items that found their way into collections abroad are catalogued inaccurately. Former owners who would be well-known by Irish cataloguers don't ring bells for UK and American cataloguers!

I love a digital resource at much as the next person, but this humble piece of technology changed the world as much as AI ever will, and I still love them too!!! #asl202524 Mar 2026 13:58 +0000at://did:plc:7i6s3pm44dntyexcomtimdfu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhsqaixg6c2p
