S'funny how when goons like that Dublin Cllr Sutcliffe ' accidentally' post social media - it's never a random pic of a cat or somebody complaining about the buses - always vile, racist garbage. What are the odds!?!?!?

Latest weather models show very warm air reaching Ireland Monday with over 26c possible. The all time record high temperature for May in Ireland is 28.4c from 31st May 1997 in Kerry.

The amount of racist commentators stanning for Brown Thomas/Arnotts stating the "serious losses" the company made due to shoplifting is incredible. Let's not feel sorry for BT, they made an operating profit of €19 million in 2024.

We really didn't know how good we had it.

Yep she has a fawn, a day or two old

These private security people all need to be arrested and charged with unlawful killing. #Yvessakila #blacklivesmatter

My god, the class and racial privilege on display from people who seem to think that being suspected of shoplifting should open you up to being killed. A willful blindness to how others inhabit the spaces we live in and the unequal distribution of danger and violence in those spaces.

Remarkable to hear RTE mention the words "shoplifting" at the end of the News but not mention the words "security guards" or "choked" or "physical assault." Despite the fact there's no evidence so far of the first and video evidence of the second.

A Dublin city councillor Philip Sutcliffe posted a video calling for a “real final solution” against “satanic” Jewish people.

There’s a weird attitude among many Irish people that no punishment is too great for the smallest of crimes. Plenty of Irish people are also racist. When those two things meet, you get the most disgusting opinions imaginable

How it looks from outside the Irish bubble.

I'd like to announce my engagement to Choupette.

The lessons from this podcast about What's wrong with Ireland? are many, but the core strikes me as: Stop comparing yourselves to the Anglosphere. Start comparing yourselves to the countries you want to be like. sphinx.acast.com/p/o...

If the Henry Street killing had happened in the US or UK, plenty of Irish people would use it to draw conclusions about the nature of the US or UK which they will not apply to Ireland.

It was not.

Hard to get my head around the fact a former Taoiseach said that we shouldn’t be letting Congolese people into the country and a week later a Congolese man has been killed George Floyd-style by security guards kneeling on him on Dublin’s traditional main shopping street

One of my more 👁️ thoughts is that the fascist grassroots infiltration of Ireland was deliberately astroturfed as a reaction to the passing of the marriage referendum and the repealing of the 8th amendment by popular votes. The turn has been so rapid in just over 10 years it’s crazy.

Thankfully not much into modern stuff bookswise. But hooo-boy.

I saw the An Post ad showing the mother getting a letter via the Address Point service & it took the wind out of me. Homelessness & cruel immigration policy mean this service is vital for so many, to the point where it's on a TV ad. Crisis normalised by political decisions & inaction. #Speirgorm

A vigil is being held for Yves Saklila, who died after an alleged shoplifting incident on Henry Street in Dublin last Friday. Concerns have been raised over the use of force, with the Taoiseach calling for a full investigation into his death. #VMNews

We would be mad to try the failed policy of appeasing the unappeasable Brits again. If they don’t like our finest achievements they can stay where they are. Concentrate on more worthy countries like Ukraine rather than resuscitating a dead horse.

Watch as Von der Leyen drags her heels on bringing this back to a vote.

have Gript started speculating as to the names and nationalities of the securities guards involved yet or do they only do that sometimes

Long-form analysis of the polls for the Dublin Central & Galway West by-elections. Looking at what the numbers mean for each of the parties & candidates, a deeper look at how transfers can influence the outcome of both, plus what we can or cannot expect to happen based on these numbers.

NOBODY DESERVES TO DIE FOR BEING SUSPECTED OF SHOPLIFTING

Bertie Ahern's comments, largely waved off by the Irish media, look even worse after the death of a Congolese man in Dublin ("There are too many of them from those places.") and the murder of worshippers at a US mosque ("The next generation is where the problem will be.") This isn't harmless talk.

So this happened on Friday evening at about 5pm. This, in conjunction with the nasty shit Bertie was coming out with, shows us exactly how dire the situation is now in Ireland. Racism. Is. Cancer.

I hope this is not the first of a Bertie Brutality.

A *successful* UK rejoin would be a great triumph for the EU. Spending a decade with rejoin and re-Brexit as a permanent distraction at all levels of the Institutions would make the EU seem incompetent.

Going to make all the Táin characters thicc now specifically to spite this guy. Buxom bubble-butt Cú Chulainn coming up

what i'm saying is: to join the EU, you kinda sorta have to ask their opinion on it too because the answer might not be what you are looking for

The video footage of what happened to Yves Sakila is shocking. Those responsible for the excessive force must be held to account. And politicians have to understand that negative comments about Africans create an environment where this is more likely to happen. www.rte.ie/news/2026/05...

I get that discussing the difficulties of enacting the OTB has its place, with somewhat valid points on 1 level, but on another level we're splitting hairs while people are being erased in front of us & we're worried about how much American money we get to keep by playing along. #MondayGR #IrishPol

But why did they do that? They *have* a list of graduates!

After discovering a recent article about LLMs fabricating analyses from nonexistent data (arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687), I did an experiment with our new lab-sanctioned chatbot. Well, here’s the result (in case that’s not clear, I never actually uploaded any grades-intro-cs.xlsx file).

Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among a number of Irish citizens who were detained by Israeli forces after a Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted in the Mediterranean this morning, organisers have said jrnl.ie/7043338

This guy writes for Stripe Press-- yes, the same Stripe set up by the Collison brothers...

terminally ill corkman: "Give it to me straight doctor, will I pull through?" Doctor [having learned the wrong lesson last time] "You will yeah"

AI girlf….WHAT???

This is endlessly amusing since if you pan out, one of DeleCunty’s fellow far right journeymen is a LITERAL CRIMINAL, whose assets are STILL under seizure by the authorities in his home of LANZAROTE. Talk about deflection by a man who wouldn’t even get elected in his own kennels.

Well….not quite the same. One resignation post referendum, and three ‘here is the whiskey and the gun’ and one lost GE. Vs. ‘I’m off’ x2 and Two rotisserie Heads of Govt. In fact one lad has avoided his Whiskey and Gun platter due to the innate ineptitudes of his own party.

Iranian state TV is now airing sniper rifle (SVD Dragunov) training tutorials.

A country nobody has declared war on.

You just *know* what government is going to spend their billooons and billooons on this next

Isn’t this the job of ministers? Cabinet Ministers (and their teams of junior ministers and advisers) are appointed to drive their programme for government and to overcome CS inertia

Delighted to tell you all that I have a new series in @thejournal.ie where I get to grips with all things Ireland-coded! Have you ever stopped to think... what exactly is a parish pump? jrnl.ie/7040952

Among the most pathetic things about this speech from a supposed “Irish Nationalist” is the sycophantic plea to American tough guy to come “fix” Ireland. No plans, no ambitions, no coherent policies just “please Daddy Trump come save Ireland”
