The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

Losing a Leinster final to Westmeath is embarrassing. #GAA

If only. This wanker has been in the Dáil for more than 35 years, bankrupted the country and now presides over record numbers of people being evicted and made homeless, and his party cronies applaud him like he was the Messiah when he should be tarred and feathered.

"Our communities seem to move forward in an unfocused state, their ability to respond worn down by years of watching silent decline...if you drive through Ireland, you will see it in the empty shopfronts and the silent towns. Excellent from Toner Quinn www.thejournal.ie/readme/gaelt... #IrishPol

Pioneer Rousey gains redemption with retirement fight win over Carano reut.rs/4tKl0vJ

Just shutter the whole thing.

Someone needs to remind these lads what the traditional punishment for treason is. Brain-cooked gowls.

There. Is. No. Ceasefire. Journalism is not simply repeating what the powerful say - it is a process of verification, and if people are being murdered by state forces every day, then there is no ceasefire, "fragile" or otherwise.

Let's hope they don't see a 101st. A pox on Ireland, every one of them.

I maintain that this man's entire existence is elaborate performance art to call attention to the elite impunity problem in this country in the most garish way and it's still not working

No sugar-coating it - this was absolutely shameful from the Celtic fans, and there is no excusing or justifying it. Celebrate by all means, but jostling and taunting the opposition during a pitch invasion is beyond unsporting, and taints what should have been a great day for the club.

Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Slovenia and Netherlands all withdrew in protest against Israel's participation amid Gaza war.

Allan is well-known all over Ireland for offering a superb service at weddings and events, and his caricatures are brilliant. Why not hire him as a wedding present for someone you know getting married? 👀

3️⃣ Jack Moylan is the first player to score a debut hat trick for the Republic of Ireland men's national team since David Kelly against Israel in November 1987! #COYBIG

And for more than 100 years, they have failed at it.

VARFÖR TROR NI BARNMORSK ÄR ETT BRISTYRKE??? varför jobbar bm hellre som skadereglerare på försäkringbolag än med egna patienter??? Det inte svårt att räkna ut. Det är inte jättehärligt att se bebisar och mammor ta skada och dö och sen inte få gehör för de uppenbara förändringar man LÄTT kan göra

My price for the UK rejoining the EU is a united Ireland.

Why is the police officer advising the fascist, rather than arresting him? It's almost like they're on the same side ... 🤔

Would you like to see a vox-pop where every single person vox-popped is sound? We don't get enough of these. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Triumph and tears as WSL season ends with fan favourites departing reut.rs/42EXghj

"Except the Ukrainians. They can fuck off."

"The famous Glasgow Rangers went to Rome to see the Pope, The famous Glasgow Rangers went to Rome to see the Pope, The famous Glasgow Rangers went to Rome to see the Pope, And this is what he said ... GLORY, GLORY GLASGOW CEEEEEELTIC!" #fitba

There shouldn't be any flights of less than 100 miles.

Hearts lol.

The commentators on the Celtic - Hearts match are BRUUUUUUUTAL in their search for a viral bit of commentary. "This could be the defining moment of the season ... maybe this could be it ... or this ... or maybe this." You don't need to build the tension, the game is doing that on its own.

In her final years, Sinéad O'Connor donated her old clothes and unused makeup to Irish trans teens as she wanted them to enjoy expressing their gender identities. Sinéad never punched down, stood firm in her beliefs, and will always be loved by the people of Ireland. Ms Terphy is nothing of the sort

He's a gaslighting bag of shit.

In Ireland, Gina G is today known as GG4. #IrishFacts

"Time marks" should read "pine martens," which is completely obvious in context. Looks like RTE Kids content is transcribed by AI, edited by AI & published, without ever passing before a human eye. This is supposed to be educational content (& what it's teaching is kids is "ah fuck it, it'll do.")

Solidarity with Tommy, and fuck anyone who tried to out him. We grew up in the same Ireland, and it was a cold country for gay people back then. I hope he can find peace and happiness.

Looking forward to the FAI and the Irish government welcoming these lads to Dublin for a football match later in the year.

My latest dispatch is waiting to be found. No evil tactics to grab your attention. You have to hunt it out. Actually, that sounds like more work than most care for. I’ll just include a link so you can bathe in a curatorial goodness algorithms struggle to imitate. open.substack.com/pub/document...

He is an absolutely clueless, talentless, formless buffoon. He can't go five minutes without contradicting himself, and he's so far out of his depth he hasn't even noticed he's drowning.

If only the same was done in soccer, it might bring an end to the frankly awful way many clubs, coaches and players treat the media.

Trump got absolutely rolled by Xi. He’s afraid of upsetting the Chinese because he’s weak.

They'll end up costing a billion euro.

This is not a "controversy" or a "dispute" about casting. It's a racist position being echoed and amplified by other racists. Journalists need to learn to use the word "racist" much more freely; right now, too many publications treat it as unprovable unless self-reported.

In that case, we *all* need to go out and "canvas" for Fianna Fáil.

Mitt svar i en enkät om kommande valet:

Ping Jimmy Goebbels

The odds that this is a lie are overwhelming.

Nor would he want to, as they say all the things he thinks but is too much of a coward to say himself.

holy goddamn shit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Families are paying a second mortgage on childcare while Ireland remains one of the most expensive countries in Europe. A public childcare model would cut costs and support providers. Vote for a person who is proud of his roots and passionate about raising his family in Dublin Central.
