This is indeed how many, many trends and eventual fashion mainstays begin: out of necessity (usually among the working class as jeans were originally workwear) and then as a deliberate style choice.
For the first time in 75 years, the Sam Mcguire Cup comes home to Mayo, Ireland.
I said it three years ago when I was in Ballina: Mayo for Sam!
And I meant it.
I said it because I know what it means not just the county of Mayo but to my own family’s story.
Today, the dream becomes reality.
Congratulations to my friends in Mayo. You earned this victory. Enjoy every minute. Sam is coming home ☘️
People say your English degree is useless but today I have to discuss a book I haven’t read in our book club and where would I be if I hadn’t had four years training to do just that
it was a very controversial decision to end the show here and i wish we got to see what daenerys did in westeros but sometimes things are better left to the imagination ♥️
With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV+‘s “Widow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of “Twin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.
widows bay is in the pantheon of all timer tv shows just based off season one alone. watching it feels like discovering rl stine as a kid. perfect programming.
this scene is genuinely terrifying at first, but the chase goes on for so long that it ends up being funnier than it is frightening, and THAT is the genius of #WidowsBay—the way it teeters, very deliberately, at the tipping point between horror and comedy.
