There was a lot Martin and I disagreed on, but he was brilliant t9 talk to, a tremendously intelligent, warm, and generous man who deeply loved Ireland and all its idiosyncrasies. May he rest in peace.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Cork people, go buy some books tomorrow from Vibes & Scribes. 🇵🇸

Det är bara början. Mycket, mycket sämre kan det bli.

Lol

HE DIDN'T COMMENT ON CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLING. HE COMMENTED ON THE MAGA REACTION TO IT.

Such as ... Ireland.

Jag är kanske helt crazy nu, men om man upplever att situationen utanför riksdagen är hotfull kanske man kan testa ett ledarskap som bygger på medmänsklighet, solidaritet och morötter snarare än hot, straff, repressalier, piskor och att beskriva diverse grupper som odjur.

Fembarnsfamiljer där båda lever på bidrag får 46500 kronor i bidrag, enligt vår statsminister. Jag begärde ut statistiken, och det visade sig vara en stor fet lögn. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains. RIP Assata Shakur

US soldiers opened fire on a group of mostly unarmed women children and elders in the Wounded Knee Massacre slaughtering over 300 Lakota civilians. Survivors witnessed troops chasing down children running away to butcher them. Only a nazi regime would want to honor that

Starmer is following the same path as many other European social Democrats, all of whom have failed using the same tactics. So too will he.

No he is.

A message from Liam Óg....

Fel, fel, fel och åter fel, Anne! SVT:s uppdrag är INTE att vara neutrala om ALLT ”politiskt”. Ni har ett uppdrag att värna och främja, alltså ska vara helt och fullt partiska, när det kommer till demokratiska värderingar. Då håller det inte att vara neutrala inför folkmord.

Lite breaking, ish: Stål från svenska SSAB används av israeliska bosättare på Västbanken. Största ägare i SSAB är LKAB – som är helägt av svenska staten. SSAB bekräftar att man gör affärer med israeliska bolag. www.etc.se/ledare/ssab-...

OH NO NOT DISCUSSIONS! This is the most Scandinavian thing ever.

Yet more evidence that the Irish people support the Palestinian people, but the Irish state does not.

If someone wrapped my chips in a Br*nda P*wer column, I'd hand them back. You may as well dip them in shite.

I stand corrected. The so-called "coddle left" hates success. Not so much tankies as sossies.

This is what unity looks like.

The left doesn't "hate success". It hates fascists and wolves in sheep's clothing.

When will these clowns realise that you cannot believe a single word this idiot says?

One of few who can match the blood on Netanyahu's hands.

Just popping in to say that, if I was Taoiseach and Irish citizens were banned from somewhere because of their opinions, I probably wouldn't wait to be asked by them to say something about it.

Kom ihåg - att vara i regeringsställning är ett temporärt uppehållstillstånd.

När Balans grundades minns jag att Åsa och jag sa till varandra att om politiker öppet börjar att ifrågasätta enskilda delar av NPM-styrningen så kommer hela alltet till slut att falla. Det gäller att tvinga fram det första erkännandet. Ser inga skäl att ändra min uppfattning.

European football very tight-lipped about this over the last 24 hours. My information is that it's very much on the cards, but that it may take a public threat to boycott or not play Israel to force UEFA's hand. High-level politics happening in the corridors of power.

Regeringspartierna påstår plötsligt att de är tveksamma till undantaget IES och andra skolor med engelsk profil har från att anställa lärare med svensk lärarlegitimation. Läs gärna det här mailet från IES lobbychef (fd Moderat presschef) till Lotta Edholms statssekreterare.

🙌 You can make a Swedish version of this

It’s an unknowable mystery why all the fish downstream of the cheese plant are dead. Best to just close the book on it.

Really?

once again trump’s great political asset is that voters literally do not believe anything he says

I've admired the music of @mickpuck.bsky.social & The Waterboys for 30+ years, but Portland's concert was otherworldly. ✨ SF & LA—you’re up next and I’m envious. Get ready for some magic. 🎸 🎹

Two things that the West excels at - hypocrisy, and betraying the Kurds.

You’d like to credit Tony with a huge amount of prescience - but they are in fact this predictable.

Recent history suggest that a man with no opinions is not exactly what the Irish electorate is looking for in its president.

Every time, man. Every fuckin time

Seeing some media figures saying that the Presidential race would have been more "entertaining" with Steen involved, like that's a good thing. Rather giving the game away, isn't it?

"edgelord" is such a great coinage, because it sounds as if it's about to describe something really stupid and then it does

The American Right - afraid of escalators. These aren't "strong men" or "patriots" - they're a bunch of chickenshit cowards afraid of their own shadows. Run them out of town on rail, every last yellow-streaked one of them.

Almost two years into a genocide. Pardon me if I don't hand out the cookies.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Första steget att krossa fascismen och skydda demokratin är att döda snuten i vår hjärna. De linjer de drar upp i deras värld kan vi inte låta dem dra i våra huvuden. Deras värld är inte på riktigt. Tidö vill plantera in sin fascistiska bödel i oss.

The comments about Steen's bag are nothing to do with her appearance. Like all rich people, she bought and uses that bag to send a signal. It's a status symbol that says "I am wealthy and privileged and can afford things that you cannot", and it is entirely politically legitimate to point that out.
