@bookluvvr.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialRead @irvinewelsh.bsky.social's "Can Nothing Save Us". This was absolutely masterly. Gulped it down in about 4 and a half hour long 100 page chunks. Just like the Entertainer and Home Secretary in "Men in Love", the brief appearances of the President added to the (scary) verisimilitude. Now instead
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialJoin the love revolution #MenInLove
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialAlways learning. Every book published is a failure, while the blank page always offers the opportunity for redemption. And on we go…
@coxy030.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialFuck me @irvinewelsh.bsky.social that escalated quickly. What an amazing read! I didn’t think Resolution could be beaten… but I was wrong. Incredible read thank you so much for giving that to us.
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialFirst two for sure
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialI don’t quite believe it. I think the appeal will find Forest, Southampton, Everton and Sheffield Wednesday guilty. Manchester City found guilty on almost all Premier League charges relating to financial breaches - The Athletic
@coxy030.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.social@irvinewelsh.bsky.social as a very slow reader, I’m over half way through ‘can nothing save us’. Sheer brilliance. I have no idea what’s going on, but I don’t care. The writing is enthralling and I’m hooked
@greatfades.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.social@irvinewelsh.bsky.social just finished Can Nothing Save Us? Wonderful ma man! In a world of messed up shit there’s still a glimmer of beautiful empathy in humanity.
@bloodyscotland.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialThe final day of Bloody Scotland was the perfect end to the festival. We finished the day with a very special event where our brilliant 2026 Guest Programmer Denise Mina officially handed over the reins to our 2027 Guest Programmer, Val McDermid! Images by Paul Reich
@iandunt.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialOver the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what.
@bencollins.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialJust gonna light this bag of dogshit on fire and walk away from the doorstep, but the people in media I hear saying AI has made them "more productive" appear to be producing less than ever, and worse things than ever. I wonder if they can even tell.
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialNobody outside the media seems interested in the social engineering project of a tedious Mickey Mouse tournament designed to fleece future generations of morbidly obese fans with a life span of 200, containing around 25 years of mobility.
Get rid of this piss.
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialAh sorry about that pal
@irvinewelsh.bsky.socialDisappointing not to be allowed to participate in this game as my name isn’t Enzo.
@melyoung53.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialSentimental value versus hording; plus hard decisions about looking after the planet. What should I do about that Isle of Wight 1970 original T shirt? @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social @irvinewelsh.bsky.social @motherjones.com @valmcdermid.bsky.social @michaelpedersen.bsky.social
@georgebas5.bsky.socialReposted by @irvinewelsh.bsky.socialFinished the new @irvinewelsh.bsky.social which looks at mass shootings and dance tunes. Glad my security job is in the UK and not the States. But next time I’m on shift and there’s a DJ battle, anyone trying to sneak in a dodgy white box and pass it off as a bass bin is getting taken to the floor.
