Just watched @leinsterrugby.bsky.social A vs @munsterrugby.bsky.social A on Leinster Plus TV. The bad news is, if there is a rugby god, I'm going to rugby hell for giving Leinster 10 Euros. The good news is that it was the best tenner I ever misspent

It would be a positive side-effect of this election cycle if this issue got some sympathetic attention.

I'm sharing this for any Americans, and especially Irish Americans. As the racist rapist McGregor couldn't get a nomination to run for President of Ireland, this woman became the hope of the Christofascist Trumpian far-right but also failed to get nominated. She was polling at 5%.

When I become President, my first act will be to introduce mandatory jail sentences for builders - or indeed anyone - caught playing and loudly singing along to power ballads

This is it. There "reasonable debate" is just a hate campaign for minorities to endure.

These are examples of Bigoted Ignorant Simplistic Thought. Hatred is a much Broader Emotion, not necessarily Negative. i.e. I Hate Nazis

Maga, the 🍊🤡, and all of the Republicans are all filled with nothing but hatred for anyone that does not follow them.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Hatred

The hate speech by Rowling, Linehan, Kirk et al has consquences #TransRightsAreHumanRights - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. If Charlie Kirk didn't want to be remembered as a racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, anti-immigrant fascist, he shouldn't have been a racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, anti-immigrant fascist.

Excellent piece on basic income for the arts by Mick Gallen. One of the most talented and hardest working artists I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Amazing to read what the scheme did for him. www.thejournal.ie/readme/opini...

What's to consider? The law must be enforced so these should all be taken down, ideally to be used at the next official celebration of diversity or refugees www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

Beautiful painting and a great cause

This is such a telling statistic

Just saw an immigration official in Dublin airport wearing a fez. Wish I'd been able to take a photo, so I could make racists' tiny minds explode

Interviewed Gareth Sheridan this morning - he says it's time for an end to 'left - right divisive' politics. That's despite being introduced to councillors by Senator Sharon Keogan - who said LGBT+ people were involved in an 'organised takeover' of society... and who has posted "#IrelandisFull".
