We need just 569 more Irish people to sign this official EU citizen initiative to pass our threshold. If you truly support #JusticeForPalestine and you haven't signed, why not? 🇵🇸🙏 #SpeirGorm #SpeirGhorm #IrishSky #Ireland

I'm...just having a lot of feelings about this week's #StarfleetAcademy 🥹🥹 This show has been so good so far anyway, and I really do want Star Trek to move away from leaning so hard on nostalgia, but this was really very good. Also, protect Sam at all costs. 🥹

remember when everything was possibly cake and we were driven mad by the possibility that everything was cake? don't you wish everything was possibly cake now instead of probably ai? we were such fools to squander a cake-based reality.

lol

C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not? It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it. #Speirgorm #IrishSky

Come on Ireland, sign! For these ECIs to work and be considered by the European Commission, 7 EU member states must meet their threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are now at 8,951, 88 8%. No more EU-Israel Agreement for the apartheid state. #SanctionsNow eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza. The genocide never ended — and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.

If you are somehow, beyond all reason, still on Twitter, you are financially supporting violating women and also financially supporting child pornography. How are you financially supporting it? Your posts are sitting next advertising. That’s it! Don’t even need to subscribe!

So #StarfleetAcademy came out swinging, the first two eps are great! 💜 Already enjoying a lot of the characters, and the post-Burn rebuilding feels real and... relevant. 🥲 Looking forward to next week 🖖 #StarTrek

I'm subscribed to @esa.int email updates, agus uaireanta, bíonn siad as Gaeilge. I just think it's neat. 🥹☘️🖖 #SpéirGorm

Update on this from the Complex CEO/Artistic Director, Vanessa Fielding.

A misperception about the number of people immigrating to Ireland and their reasons for doing so is linked to negative attitudes towards immigration, according to a new report published today jrnl.ie/6926698

As of June 2025, there are 89 data centres in Ireland, all of which have been mapped by The Journal Investigates here: investigates.thejournal.ie/data-centres

Despite a ceasefire that began on October 10, the Israeli army continues daily attacks on the enclave.

In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material. You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system. It’s a feature. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

"But my people/fandom/special interest group are on X" If your people are hanging out among the Nazis and the CSAM then fuck your people

I will reiterate that I've never had cause to regret abandoning the former Twitter more than two years ago now, and have suffered neither personally nor professionally for doing so. Since I left it's become more toxic and, yes, evil. The people who are still there should really consider moving on.

Folks, @womensaidireland.bsky.social have closed their X account on principle. Follow them here, give them some real engagement to acknowledge both the rightness of that decision, but also of letting go of high follower numbers (even if the algorithm meant that no longer signified actual reach).

Is he saying we just give up and don't try and regulate technology that is literally designed to create nudes of children? In what other sphere of life does the Minister think there's no point trying to prevent criminal acts??

It is ABSOLUTELY the app making the images. But even if it wasn't, the fact that it's actively facilitating their distribution is also horrific and illegal. Wtf is Patrick O'Donovan playing at here?? How is someone with this little understanding of technology in this position? #SpéirGorm

If you have time to doom scroll, you have time to read books!

This is DELIGHTFUL 💜💜🖖 (...it is a blue carpet though 😆) #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy

The more I see of this show, the more I'm looking forward to it. And this is a very sweet trailer given the year that's in it 💜🖖 #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy youtu.be/RqbkBY0TRdU

Fun as it is to see Peston stating outright what the situation is, here’s what’s going to happen: government and press will brazen this out with drivel until it drops out of the headlines, then everyone will get right back on their previous bullshit. This is what they always do, without fail.

Flu season may have peaked, but people should still remain vigilant about the risk of infection, according to the HSE’s latest report on it and other illnesses like Covid-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). jrnl.ie/6915026

It's the 24th so I opened the next door on the Taskmaster advent calendar. I am furious. I can't stop laughing. How dare you, @alexhorne.bsky.social @taskmaster.tv 😅😅😅

I sort of think that the Covid times for many people utterly killed any sense that we all live in this world collectively and that you are actually obligated to be mindful of other people, and I think it’s a problem that goes well beyond just the Covid denialists.

The Taskmaster advent calendar has been great fun, and I'm sad there's only two days left - the final part of today's task broke my heart a bit 😅

Cloudy ot not, using modern technology to allow us to continue to witness something the people who lived on our island built in connection with the seasons and the universe thousands of years ago is pretty cool, actually

It's that time of year again 🥹🐶 #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm

Francesca Albanese: "This is the genocide that continues through other means. Israel has zero intention to relinquish control of the Gaza strip.. what has been sold to the world as the peace plan.. is a way to push the intl community to have an alibi not to continue to engage with Gaza"

#speirgorm if you are in the Clonliffe Road area please keep an eye out for our lovely former foster boy Ernie

This is so silly. I can't stop watching. 😅👏👏 @thehornesection.bsky.social #SU2C

Didn't realise how much I relied on the #SpéirGorm feed until it was gone 🥲🥲 Very glad a new one is here! 💚

Yes, good! #LateLateToyShow

IS CMAT HERE? #LateLateToyShow

Look, the pay off of this whole 6 7 thing better be us raising 6.7 million for the Toy Show appeal before the end of the show. That's just good storytelling. #LateLateToyShow #ToyShow

Coulda done without harry potter getting a shout out, but it did make me laugh that the reaction was not "this is exciting for me", but "my mam's a big fan of that" #LateLateToyShow 🙃

All three of those book kids absolutely killed it 👏 #LateLateToyShow
