Electric Picnic 2009. Sessioning back in the campsite, Catherine Connolly spilled the last of a bottle of Buckfast into a new packet of Amber Leaf. Skins ruined. Weekend destroyed. #Smearthebejaysus #Smearthebejaysis

In response, FG have issued a video of Heather digging out a fox and setting the hounds on it, to the tune of The Chemical Brothers "Dig Your Own Hole".

Look at these fucks who all of a sudden know what a proscribed organisation is

This is the type of new energy we need in Irish politics, young smart and…shit wait…this guy looks familiar…

Incredible to think that Humpreys drew attention to her record in over seeing the 2016 Centenary programme on the debate last night. Which reveals her to have been an early pioneer of the aesthetics of AI shlop and other shitshows. #Aras25 #Aras2025 www.irishtimes.com/culture/heri...

Why is Kieran Cuddihy bringing up the "alleged" attack on an NFL player, when the Guards have already said no complaints was made and therefore we don't even know it happened. Why is he fuelling the "Ireland is unsafe" narrative? #Aras25

I don’t know why Cuddihy thinks this needs to be shouty. We need to actually hear what the candidates have to say. #TonightVMTV #Aras25

Can we please be straight on this - lads sticking up flags on lampposts is straight out of the Loyalist playbook. You see fuck all of these flags coming out of gaff windows. It’s a totally astroturfed by individuals and does not represent whole communities. #Aras2025

Steen, Sheridan, McGregor et al had YEARS to do the work but they didn't, preferring instead to hurl from the ditch and then blame the referee. They are not serious political people. They are a bunch of staggeringly entitled pick-mes, and the system worked as it should to weed them out. #speirgorm

Exactly this. And they’ll flood the zone with absolute shit too. It’ll choke any reasoned or actual debate with the type of astroturfing we have seen with McGregor. There is a delegitimisation strategy at play here to undermine our democracy.

This is exactly it. She will 100% run as the candidate who “knows what a woman is” (and will undoubtedly pick up endorsements from pseudo-feminists because of it)

Do you reckon we’ll have time for another pint before the rapture? Was that the final call?

RIP JD Twitch. One of the best.

Nothing sums up the muddled generational divide at #Ploughing2025 than young lads going around in DJ Provai masks and auld wans eyeing up the annual yield from a micro-home.

Sometimes I think that a ‘migrant worker’ strike is needed to prove how crucial migrants are to the UK.

Here, someone give The League of Gentlemen a call. They’re missing some of their characters.

That Jim Gavin presidential video gives me bad vibes. The energy of baddie character who rocks up to Glenroe in a new SUV with a scheme to do Miley out of the farm, with notions of “progress” and a new shopping centre. #Aras2025

Irish 'patriots' present for Tommy Robinson's "Unite the Kingdom" rally in London. It takes all sorts (in this case, racist idiots)

The 3 stages of grief: denial, anger, ballroom

They say "we own this street - not you". They are a marking of territory. In this context, they are not a symbol of unity, but exclusion. A visual reminder that I am not welcome. *You* may not get it, because you have the right look and accent, but I assure you that those putting them up get it. 4/

The micro-aggressions are daily, the abuse regular, and the threat of violence constant. I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who feel different. Because only then you might glean what those flags going up signify to someone who looks like me. 3/

Disappointed to hear that nonsense recited uncritically on RTÉ News last evening.

“We don’t have bereavement leave.” Noreen, a school secretary with Fórsa speaks out about the unacceptable treatment faced by key school staff. Alongside caretakers, these workers are challenging long-standing injustices. Show your support! ✊ #PensionParity

"We get nothing, literally nothing" | David The School Caretaker Speaks Out For #PensionParity. Everyday, school caretakers like him literally open the door to education. On Thurs, Aug 28, they begin an indefinite strike for recognition as public servants and basic worker rights.

Disgusted to see this beautiful landscape ruined by wind turbines.

Bumping this - if you're in Dublin next Weds, and you're interested in contemporary Irish music, politics and culture. I'd love to see you at my book launch. A book that's already a bargain will be available at an even more enticing price!

“There’s no escaping it.” Full conversation on YouTube!

DCC Cllr Gavin Pepper left a space by racist bigot Mick O'Keeffe last night, as it was too racist for him - shocker! So he took his football home and runned away from the nasty boys... I wonder if he's on notice from DCC. If not, then why not??

Listening to Morning Ireland. “Boots on the ground.” “Into the weeds.” If the housing crisis was going to be solved through oft repeated cliches this country would be in fine fettle. Oh “Job of work!”

👇🏻

Happy may day to the workers of the world, pagans doing funny dances, and just generally anyone else having a good time today

Such a great doc from @rasherst.bsky.social and crew. Getting me sceitimíní for Open Ear 2025! So grateful to the Open Ear crew for the opportunity to compose my piece, 'NEST', for the 2024 festival and perform it in the amazing Franciscan Friary on Sherkin. More news coming on NEST next week! :))

Dropping at NOON! With just over a month to go until the 2025 edition kicks off, here's a documentary rewind to some of that golden summer magic from last year's Open Ear Festival on Sherkin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=os-z...

Excellent Irish-language documentary on her by TG4: www.tg4.ie/en/player/ca...

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

I was actually thinking the opposite recently. Then was left waiting in the airport for an hour for one to go back into town. Like seriously, WTF sort of service is this for a capital airport? Going out has always been fine for me.

I wish there was some fancy economic term for when a person deliberately lowers the price of every single stock on the planet before then raising them all with a wave of their hand, in a manner you might say would grant immediate, near-infinite wealth to anyone informed of such plans beforehand.

It’s like one of those whacked out world building moments at the start of a 1980s dystopian sci-fi. The next scene is some lad called Snake being helicoptered off in shackles for refusing to follow orders and massacre a BLM demo.

One of Detroit's most venerable, Craig Gonzalez, breaking new ground exploring "the sonic space between techno and drum & bass." Fresh stuff from I.T. HQ. On the bleeding edge, pushing the sound forward. #TheOverload

This is beyond funny. Really sums up the hubris of the techbro’s solutionism. Here’s to scanning The Book Of Kells so we can have tourists pay to look at a PDF and save cash on silly preservation techniques.

Solidarity with Richard as he faces into cancer treatment over the coming months. We will do our best to keep his seat warm for him while he's gone. Our members in Dún Laoghaire and elsewhere will be continuing to campaign and put forward our ecosocialist alternative✊ #PeopleBeforeProfit

Tarreeeeeeeeeeeef! TARRIF! Come in here, yer dinner’s ready!

Oh great. Lots of miserable people are being forced back to the office and traffic is rotten. What good news. At least the property overlords are happy! Whoopie.

Mind Fuzz incoming with @djfrancois.bsky.social May 17th Thomas House

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

“Consumans.” Well done to that RTÉ reporter who just accidentally coined the most fitting portmanteau for this Anthropocene era while discussing Trump’s tariffs on Morning Ireland.

Regular reminder that Musk is really dumb.

HSE workers are at breaking point. The Pay and Numbers Strategy has gutted hospitals and clinics, decommissioning thousands of jobs. Workers aren’t taking it lying down. From lunchtime protests to a 93.6% for industrial action, Fórsa members are organising for change. youtu.be/6wrQfTq8eoc
