I'm the kinda guy that sits at a computer for hours trying to think of something funny to put in here

@AngusTexan @TweeterAlliss The table behind was full of it, maybe something in the demographic there!

🚨ACE ALERT🚨

Shane Lowry records his second ace at Augusta National, this time at the 6th hole!

@garrethmcdaid @lemallon Genuinely no dog in the fight on this, but wondering where you got that stat from? Not aligned with what I see in multiple GAA clubs each weekend?

@lonesharkoy @StBrigidsRos Enjoy!

@IrishNFLShow I hope that frustration is against himself because aside from that poor DPI call, they still would have pinged the bills on his stupid roughing the passer call

@NFL_DovKleiman This is why Dov is so washed. Copy and pasted my entire tweet and didn’t credit. What a stiff 😂

@Eamonnmoran @hlovo_ Those shoes were primarily manufactured in Clark's plant in Kilkenny, Ireland.

So it's a British company but the shoes were manufactured in Ireland

@rosenbaumlaw @arielhelwani He actually took 3 shots there at the end when I think he was already out. Hopefully he's ok

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram.

100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show.

I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell.

You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures.

Here is the actual science of what you are watching:

1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk.

2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time.

3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate.

4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared.

5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed.

Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit.

They didn't die because of Instagram.

They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.

@medolarkjelnick @ESPN_BillC But then it comes down to what is the purpose of the committee, is it the best teams or the most deserving teams. It's super common is sport that a better team loses to a worse team, but that's why the games are played. I'm an ND fan and ND are better but Miami are more deserving

@FDSportsbook "Gambling is the next dopamine epidemic to hit the country but it's actually worse because it's so omnipresent it's actually part of the coverage which makes it nearly impossible to quit".... or "man that hurt"... I dunno

@NDFootball @taejohnson1012 @InvescoUS @Isaiahdunn22 What's that disclaimer about at the end?

[RTÉ Sport @RTEsport]

Cristiano Ronaldo is given a red card after a VAR review for an elbow

Mimicked tears, a clash with the Ireland manager and an all-time send-off from the crowd follow. Dublin is no longer "lovely" for him
