I think this article (from a black man and a father to a child with similar disabilities) is a good take on the incident. variety.com/2026/film/aw...

The BBC operates a 'broadcast delay' for exactly this reason. They left the slur in. But they used the delay to edit out someone saying "Free Palestine" in their speech.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Yes, Fionnán, let’s talk about shame and the Catholic Church. Let’s talk about ALL of it.

Them: "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help". Me (in my head): "Why don't you tell me what you have the capacity to do and I will let you know if I need that help".

Yes, WhatsApp, I want to say "prick", not "price". It's one of those days!

I see that Met Éireann is responsible now for climate change and authorities' lack of preparedness for its inevitable outcomes! 🤔

So, it turns out that February is just three Januarys in a trench coat. #Rain #SpéirGorm #SpéirLiath #DublinFloods #Flooding #IrishWeather #OrangeWarning

Is. January. Really. Over?????

The Ombudsman for the Children’s Office has pushed back on the idea of a social media ban for under 16s. The measure had been floated by figures including the Tánaiste, following the introduction of a similar ban in Australia. More on #VMNews

Rumour has it that January has the same number of days as July. #FakeNews

Here's the DCU report I co-wrote on research we conducted on the topic of Neurodiversity in the Workplace: www.dcu.ie/instituteofe...

If you hold a degree from an Israeli university, you can work in Israel's education system. If you hold a degree from a Palestinian university, you are banned from working in Israel's education system. Not so complicated after all. It's called apartheid. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260122-kne...

Do people genuinely remember 2016? 👀

Indonesia is the first country to block access to xAI’s Grok due to its ability to generate CSAM and deepfake porn. It’s quite disappointing that this is the only meaningful action that’s been taken after several days of this issue coming to light.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Happy What Day is it? Day to all who celebrate! 🤔

Stand By Me was a film that made me realise I was different*, but not alone. I'd come home from school for lunch and watch 30 mins every day* and when it was over, I'd rewind the VHS tape and start over. I can still quote the whole film. *This behaviour helped diagnose my autism. #RobReiner

every article about Elon that doesn’t start with the fact that he starved thousands of children to death is malpractice this man should not be walking around free let alone as a respectable member of society

Every Christmas I say to myself "The lyrics to Feed the World can't be as bad as I remember. Surely." Reader, they are far worse! I mean, there is stiff competition for the worst lyric in the song, but this is a real clanger: "where nothing ever grows".

There is no medical reason what so ever. It is an obstruction to timely healthcare, and forced people out of the legal time period for abortion, at home here in Ireland. #Abortionishealthcare #Spéirgorm #repealedthe8th

agreed. this is why:

Actually the problem is that the wealthy have convinced working people that we can solve the problems through charity, recycling, volunteering etc. When taxing assets or earnings of anyone over €10 million* at 95% (including kings) would pretty much sort it. *This amount is the real debate.

Didn't think much of the Barbie movie but hearing so many women guffaw at the "come here while I play guitar AT you" line, was cathartic! 🤣

This is my kind of good trouble.

"At least the far right don't have anyone in the Dáil ..." 🙄

Microsoft, making counter-intuitive interfaces since 1975!

Loving the "Spéirgorm, as much as you try, you'll never be Irish Twitter, bah-humbug!" discourse going around today. Real "old man yells at cloud" vibes. 🤣

The Higginseseseses must have trashed the gaff!

A proud day to be Irish. There haven't been many of late, so this one felt special! #PresidentConnolly #Áras25

Seems like an appropriate time to repost this.

Locking phones up in school - the time when children are already LEAST likely to be on them - will do NOTHING to stop bullying, poor mental health, isolation, or radicalisation! It will also have ZERO impact on the rabid transphobia that’s perpetuated through the mainstream media & politics! 😖

Responses to: "You're looking great." Broke: "Thanks, Penneys." Woke: "Thanks, charity shop." Bespoke: "Thanks, HRT."

‘Ireland ‘must not be seen as the easy place to get into’, says Minister’ The FFG government continues to tack to the right .. have they learned nothing from the Presidential election, chasing the far right vote is a no win situation #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

OK, for possibly the first or second time in my life I replied negatively to someone else's post. I don't usually do it for all of the obvious reasons. This time a dose of a Yank made some inane comment about the Irish being too drunk to be able to differentiate between a dog and a lion.

also this piece from the full stack feminism project on critical feminist methodologies for exploring bias and discrimination by @swebb.bsky.social Jeneen Naji & @izzyfox.bsky.social academic.oup.com/dsh/article/...

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are at their most dangerous now. They're lashing out in desperation to try and cling to power in any way they can. The only thing worse than #FFG swinging to the right before losing power, is FFG swinging to the right and keeping it. #spéirgorm
