Sergei Krikalev was stuck on the Mir space station for 311 days after the Soviet Union broke up.

No, you are mistaken, 1994 was, at most, 15 years ago…

There was a story years ago about some scientists who dropped a box of tablets into a village somewhere that had no previous contact with modern tech. They went back some time later, and the kids had figured out, not only how to use them, but had networked them too. I wonder what ever happened with that, or if it was even true? I suppose I should google it.

What have the Romans ever done for us?

Belfast was an awfully precarious location when this was taken in 1987.

Colman Doyle’s 1973 photo of a woman IRA volunteer in Belfast became one of most iconic shots of the Troubles: https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2020/0616/1147804-troubles-northern-ireland-colman-doyle-photo-woman-ira-belfast-1973/

Colin Furze has done the same thing in the UK on YouTube. I haven’t heard any criticism of him.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone had moved in there yet.

There is nothing new here. There has always been a vocal, violent, right leaning minority in Irish society. There have been two instances that have made headlines around the world in the past few weeks that may make it seem like Irish society in general is leaning further to the right. I hope this isn’t true.

It didn’t work 23 years ago in Tipperary, it won’t work now. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/fire-at-hotel-for-asylum-seekers-1.264123

They’ll claim the insurance, rebuild the hotel and refugees will move in anyway.

So burn the hotel down?

The idea of someone having a pet snake in 1982 would have been so bizarre that it would be deemed comical. That said snake is called “Ginger,” a typical name for a harmless cat, not a 30-foot python reinforces that. This would probably have raised a sensable chuckle back in the day, but I don’t think it really stands up to the test of time.

The beyond being mould, I presume.

Maybe a better source?: https://nerdbot.com/2023/07/14/snowpiercer-cast-unknowingly-scanned-for-ai-use-star-confirms/

I was not aware of this, thanks, I will avoid that site in the future.

The shows were just 30 minute adverts for the toys. Some of my greatest playtime as a kid was when Cobra Commander teamed up with Darth Vader but was eventually defeated by G.I. Joes and R2D2.

I wonder if it would be as good today as a rematch, might be better left in our memories.

Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade.
