We wanted to know how regular Americans feel about the country’s 250th birthday. So we talked to three South African neo-Nazi billionaires at a ketamine bar on Market Street

Loving how this Hans Zimmery/John Carpenter-esque soundtrack has mutated the final season of The Bear into some sort of cramped survivalist horror where the crew are battling to stay afloat in space on a failing ship running out of supplies.

6 yrs ago today we shared this derelict building We repeated this across 2km of Cork city A daily dose of dereliction for 1yr Thousands of others all over Ireland did the same under #DerelictIreland Together we've changed culture, practice, policy & protest People power does work #spéirgorm

Another discussion on RTE Drive Time about m50 chronic congestion and all its knock on impacts without a single mention of remote work. Pundits and politicians would rather argue about wasting billions on more roads than cut the Gordion knot and give folks more rights in legislation to work remote.

Dude absolutely panned out on the ground in Phibsboro - heat and substance related. Do we’ve any actual street medic teams in Dublin? It’s not an uncommon sight people are left waiting absolutely ages for ambulances.

Dublin Shitty Council strikes again. I'm absolutely against a "Wild West" free for all but so many of their decisions seem guided by a miserablism that borders on the anti-social. And the absolute state of their own efforts to develop cafes and market plazas. www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-...

Nothing sums up unamullally.bsky.social's point better than The Mezz in dereliction, where Trev cut his teeth. It was also a stomping ground for that pied piper of parties, Al Keegan. McGruders rots too. Grim tombs filled with memories of a vibrancy long gone. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Up to Belfast next week for a screening of Displace: The Battle For Dublin. Thursday June 18, 7pm in An Cultúrlann as part of the @docsireland.bsky.social festival. Tonnes of other great docs on the go, including one about Amy Goodman from Democracy Now. Check it out and spread the word!

Absolutely wild how right-wing commentators and politicians are just completely ignoring the attempted pogrom in Belfast. Families with kids rescued from homes set on fire. And these same people who smear peaceful protests against genocide as hate marches say NOTHING

This so giving me the warm and fuzzies for the days of Dublin Community TV.

Ennis's performance is a clear message to X users that engagement on defamatory rants garnered there thanks to paid subscription to that website, does not represent the real world.

We could go with shitech. Cos they put the absolute shite into technology. And use it for all the shite reasons.

Ireland has *immeasurably* benefited from immigration. Despite its problems (none of which were caused by immigrants) it is a vastly more interesting, vibrant - and *fun* - place than it was in the grey dreary miserable 80s thanks to immigrants. And anyone who walks through Dublin city centre and...

There's lesson there for Irish politics. Just because a right turn feels like "Common Sense" doesn't mean it's the clever move.

To Win Just Once by The Saw Doctors is a song that has long captured the frustrations and hopes of ordinary people in Ireland. It became an anthem among striking school secretaries and caretakers this year. Great to have it used on the Forsa biennial conference video. youtu.be/vcKJUK7ZltE?...

Workers at outsourcing tech firm Covalen have voted in favour of strike action after the company announced that the jobs of 720 workers on Meta projects are at risk of redundancy. The firm provides AI annotation and moderation services to Meta, the tech giant behind Facebook. jrnl.ie/7032489

This. But simultaneously while gas lighting the residents about how the rental increases are to facilitate more maintanance.

I will never forgive all the media who made the Iona Institute a voice of authority instead of a shower of mad people who should create a trad Catholic theme park for themselves and leave the rest of us alone.

Is there not a swell of public in favour of a Lido that the city can actually use for this area? Instead we are being force fed this phallic wisdom for a giant Cock In The Dock? I wish we'd stop entertaining every dipso entrepreneur with a hare brained scheme. www.rte.ie/news/primeti...

to take this further, most ppl genuinely do not fathom just how much alcohol consumption has reduced over the last 200 years or so. those mfs were downing ale at breakfast, beer at lunch, burgundy and spirits all night and between all of this they were doing glasses of sherry and claret

Following on from this years hit sensation Cheap Gaffs In The Sun, producers are rumoured to be developing a sequel called From Shed to Bed for the the autumn 2026 season.

Paying 25e to access George’s Dock for something like this is so daft. The space could easily create so many positive uses for the city - a modular pop up festival site akin to Urban Spree in Berlin would offer so much more than this tacky shit. www.thejournal.ie/mixed-views-...

Can’t even begin to imagine what 35m could do to kickstart multi-use cultural spaces. Alcohol consumption is plummeting, yet people obsess with it to the point of a puritanism - that completely kills the emergence of nightlife activities that can challenge the monopoly of traditional pubs and pints.

Calm down there Blondie… “Oh, I can't control myself Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Hang up and run to me”

“Yo ChatGPT, whiz me up some bullshit case studies and knock out a few click through courses. There’s ministerial dunces with wads of cash to waste trying to make themselves relevant. Needs a platformy name.”

Grim listening here that exposes the lost opportunity of the flexible work revolution. Grueling daily commutes and infrastructure that does not add up. The fuel crisis is bringing home how very real social and environmental benefits are being torched on the bonfire of mediocre and myopic rulers.

In 20 years time, young Dubliners will look at photos of the building this thing replaced and be aghast at how and why it was demolished, just as so many of us have looked at beautiful buildings knocked before it.

Whatever the “quality” of St Stephen’s Green SC, the replacement of a light filled almost botanical space where people could wander on a pissy rainy day, with a grim bunker to lock up 3k office workers - represents a real amenity loss for Dublin City. Just another #AssetOfCommunityValue gone!

If Kevin Barry wrote a sci-fi novel it would have places like this. The county of Death - where the great Whist happened. The break away neo-fuedal data centre dystopia of Loggoad. And poor auld Carlow wiped off the map - with a tactical nuke during the commuter rebellions of the 2040s.

Grim listening here about the lost opportunity the remote work revolution means for workers. Grueling descriptions of daily commutes and infrastructure that does not match. The fuel crisis is bringing the reality home of how very real real social benefits are being dramatically eroded.

Trade Union Fórsa has written to the Department of Public Expenditure calling for increased access to remote working for civil service staff due to the impact of the fuel crisis and continued congestion on Irish roads. jrnl.ie/7019025

The shed housing plan is the ultimate example of the governing Irish political ideology that everything must be set up for someone to make money from it. Here's a national crisis being converted into an opportunity for people who're unaffected by it to screw money out of those who are. A new low.

Aside from the fact that it still regulates how we socialise and dance, one of the enduring absurdities of the 1935 Public Dance Halls Act is its built in blanket exemption for any "recreation room" under the authority of the Minister for Defence or Gárda Síochána Commissioner!

It’s one thing fucking over requirements for arts or cultural spaces, but being dicks about providing actual usable crèche facilities in new housing developments is a real damning indictment of market led solutions and weak planning enforcement. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Gas the way they saw the Kerry King of Short Lets and multi-gaff-landlord traipse out of the Junta and only wake up then. They clearly have zero friends their own age. The diesel shit show was probably jeopardising their one good day out a year - where they meet fellow kids down at the ploughing.

From 1986

This is very good from Conor McCabe and one of the few piece's of analysis I have read that clearly links the fuel protests with Ireland's deeply unequal and dysfunctional grass-fed agricultural system. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Delighted to see the Knights Templar finally coming out against Trump. Proving once and for all, we’re all just minor characters and background details in what’s sure to be another epic instalment in The Omen franchise. variety.com/2026/digital...

Rarely tune into RTE but loving that most of tonight's programming seems to be encouraging people to buy cheap gaffs in the sun and sign up to botox injections. Celtic Tiger 2.0 for some.

One of the complexities of the fuel dispute for me is the use of company assets to block public infrastructure. I was stuck on the N7 behind rakes of gear from Flynn Cranes today. How would we handle it, if during a Dublin Bus strike - workers absconded with the fleet and did the same?

There should be an SEAI system whereby all households get solar and battery installation for free but have the cost to be paid back at a low monthly amount. Make each house as energy independent from the grid as possible.

Tesco made 185m in profits last year. I’m amazed the corporate food giants are escaping being targets in the fuel debate. The profits are clearly flowing upwards in a totally unsustainable industry that’s crippling producers and the logistics chain. www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

A snapshot of our BDS Super Panel on Thursday night, brilliant speakers with a strong message to act in solidarity with Palestine and work to end our government's complicity in Israeli apartheid and genocide. #BDS #FreePalestine

If there was ever a time for the so-called American deep state to make itself known, it's now.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

I see providing more public transit is not in the plan.

Or how about some remote work legislation with actual teeth.

Why return to office policies are all pain and no gain. These policies have moved from being questionable to being a red flag and are now a strong indication of a badly run organisation, writes Kevin Murphy @unioflimerick.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
