this shit is just beyond parody, man

Fuck, and please believe me when I say I can't stress this enough, every single thing about and every oozing human buboe in the US government.

You'd think us violating Irish neutrality in an apparent attempt to assassinate Zelensky by forcing his plane to crash would be bigger news. For the Irish for a start.

For fuck's sake, @bsky.app I'll sign out when I'm good and ready. Fix your shitty broken app.

It's been astonishing to watch an entire country -- until recently the world's preeminent country -- viciously stab itself nonstop in the genitals just to try to keep one sleepy old demented fascist fatberg happy.

It's not shocking that an organization formed by an asshole and staffed by assholes to try and make more assholes has an asshole problem.

Imagine you're the naughty elf who has to milk Santa.

I once did this in a music shop in Cork.

"I was in the toilet."

Not fucking fast enough though

Anyway, it's funny/enraging that Ireland's education system is so entangled with religion, yet our media is enthralled to a tiny cluster of weirdos who prefer homeschooling because the schools aren't religious enough for them.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

ATM machine. 😑

There are TEN kids; Amni, Enoch, Bible-ly, Deuteronomy, Sneezy, Screamy, Culty, KpopDemonhunter and Embarrassed

No, typing an AI prompt is not ‘really active’ music creation

Record breaking prices for artwork sales do not, sadly, represent an investment in art and artists. Investors are reducing their taxable profits before the end of the tax year with big one-off purchases while universities cut their humanities faculties and artists earn less than minimum wage.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

A great time to remind everyone that the largest landlord in the Gaeltacht is now a British company letting Airbnbs.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Yes we should use more timber and this should have started decades ago, but not sitka! It's a toxic, invasive species and its high-volume profit-above-all intensive farming here produces soft, spongy, shitty, useless wood. If we start planting more useful trees now the next generation would benefit.

"Because we never hit our targets, we never manage to spend our budget, and it makes us look bad, so instead we're going to operate more on a 'whatever makes us feel good' basis and not commit to anything. It's not really that urgent because I personally have a house, so...yeah."

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

That's a lot of brown envelopes.

The biggest hinder to solving Ireland's housing crisis is not finaincing, or planning law, or judicial reviews - it's that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael don't want to.

There's a parallel universe not too far from here where Seán Gallagher is leaving the Áras after 14 glorious years of saying "business" a lot, sharing inspirational quotes on the Áras an Uachtaráin LinkedIn page every day, and promising to learn Irish during his retirement.

My philosophy on commas is that I do whatever my editor says. And if the editors disagree whoever had it last wins.

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve. I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I'm having a happy little daydream that the reason Leavitt is so late to her news briefing is that Trump has, being naughty in all our sights, snuffed it.

He should have died in The Hague.

All perfectly normal in Fascist America. Ireland is really in a "clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right" situation.

Like nearly everything he's ever said, this is a weird stupid delusional lie. Nobody should listen to Elon Musk. If he hadn't lucked into nauseating amounts of money, nobody ever would.

I just don't think that our economy should be managed by an organisation who paid Ivan Yates for advice.

This cunt should be in prison and the fact he isn't is part of the reason why we're seeing shit like this still being organised and carried out then openly celebrated on social media.

Nazis aren't known for their intelligence, but they can tell the difference between a true believer vs a weak politician who is caving in. This will not go well for Harris - not because online lefties are disgusted, but because the fash will never stop squeezing now. www.rte.ie/news/2025/10...

Imagine being such a family of melts that a national paper issues a guide to dealing with you where the advice is similar to that of if you encounter a bear while hiking.

He wore this *to a CNN interview and CNN photoshoot*

I think part of Catherine Connolly's success that isn't really being covered is that she is firmly, at every turn, very proud to be Irish. She learned Irish as an adult, she actively enjoys our cultural heritage, her campaign embraced our traditional art forms and trad music.

The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election. Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

Remember, respectability politics is a way to keep people in their place. This is incredibly petty, and again, when the worry about Catherine Connolly was that she would not be able to conduct herself at official events properly...

No I'm good, Gemini, thanks. (I didn't ask about the Sonnet 116 or knitting.)

This post is four words too long.

We need to have a word, an offensive one, for these people who want to run for president but think the work of TD, Senator, Councillor, Mayor, MEP or party activist is beneath them. Áras-holes?

It's only a matter of time before this guy flings up the hitlergruß at a council meeting.

Lol.
