Stuff like this does make you proud to be Irish

I'm sorry, WHO officiated???

Like France’s Fête du citron, Spain’s incredible Il Palio horse race, or Italy’s Sagra del Pesce, the annual release of Enoch Burke from Castlebar prison marks the start of high summer in Ireland.

Big kudos to @gavreilly.com for going for the Aurora Borealis Simpsons reference🤣 rather than the solid - but far more trodden - path⬇️ when referencing a children’s hospital that may or may not ever be finished. Two roads diverged in a yellow universe, but he went for the funnier one.

Great thread. You should Lycan subscribe

This is legit terrifying

Aaah the live broadcast from Cape Verde being interrupted by the goal

Wait WHAT

ok, all in for Mexico now

It is important to understand that Northern Irish Unionism is a far right ideology that is fundamentally premised on a sense of ethnic, sectarian and racial supremacy. There’s a reason why these people fly Israeli flags from lampposts. They’re kindred spirits.

One of my absolute favourite authors 🙁🙁

Hey #speirgorm. A video by “journalist” Caolan Robertson about the Aughinish Alumina plant. Robertson is a hack who has previously worked for Youth Defence and Tommy Robinson. Do not share.

Why yes, I believe that's what's known as the consequences of your own damn actions....

It was a disgusting, paternalistic betrayal of women to put the waiting period in law in the first place. It is not backed by evidence. It was put in to placate people (mostly men) who parroted imported American narratives and who understand nothing of reality. Women have always deserved better.

man at least in Trainspotting they had heroin to look forward to

All this and the last pope just upped and died after having to meet him. This is a level of consistent failure not seen since Wilheim II.

I mean for me it comes down to this: I trust the govt and the Gardaí to be self interested, including to know who their enemies are. If this was a working class mass movement with potential to significantly change the country for the better, it would have been baton-charged on day 1

it's amazing what an extended, disruptive protest you can mount when the cops Just Let You. the left in Ireland needs to seriously consider adopting this tactic

I think I'd have dropped dead from the stress of simply having my bosses Fabergé set in my handbag at the pub, never mind the stress of it being stolen

Oh, of course Ralph Bakshi is an actual wizard.

4yo child: “I love tractors and trucks!!!” Me, narrowing my eyes: “I’ll bet you do, you little fascist”

We didn't deserve this day.

Court hears Government failed to ‘uphold duty to prevent genocide’ at Shannon By allowing Shannon Airport to be used as a transit point for the US military, the Government of Ireland has failed to uphold its duty to prevent genocide. That is according to Pro-Palestinian activist, Emily Cathcart…

right and the secondary part of this which maybe seems frivolous but is still worth mentioning: harry potter is not guernica. it’s a not-very-well-written commercial fantasy franchise for children. there are dozens of better alternatives

Don’t make me tap the sign. Its support trans people or Harry Potter can’t have both

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different? here is a timeline of JK Rowling's transphobia: web.archive.org/web/20241225... & here is where her HP money is going: www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

Was just chatting with a taxi driver about this and it seems about 1000 taxi drivers have come together so far to create an alternative to the big apps. They hoping to bring more drivers in but they need people to use it. He asked that ppl try this app first! apps.apple.com/ie/app/tap-a...

if only we'd previously had a period of global energy crisis caused by, in this order, a war between Israel and its neighbours, followed a few years later by a destabilising conflict in Iran

Back at it in the Banner as the Shannon reporter for The Clare Chmapion, get in touch at [email protected]

Got to assume that PinkNews is a month away from bankruptcy

'the Fianna Fáil leader once again sought to cement Ireland’s status as an ally of a country that, a matter of weeks ago, blew up a primary school full of Iranian children. And by the unbelievably low standards to which we all now apparently subscribe, it went tremendously well.'

This is what happens when the English don't teach their own history about Ireland cos then they'd remember how we used to deal with absentee landlords

This St Patrick's Day is a good time to ask ourselves "why does Batman hate Irish people so much?"

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Utterly weak at the fact that England screwed not only themselves but us in the final seconds and allowed the game to be decided by a kick from Thomas Ramos, literally the best kicker on the planet #FRAvITA

We asked one thing from them! #EngvFra

That try from Chessum though... no matter what colour jersey the man wears that was a HELL of an intercept

I can't do it, I wanna see England lose too badly, I'm satisfied with our Triple Crown #FRAvENG

Oh thank god Italy got a few points up there (and a 10 minute window to get a few more) #WALvITA

My math might not be mathing, but if Wales keep this up and win, and France get their ass back in gear and hammer England enough, will England get the Wooden Spoon?!?!?

Wish it wasn't against Italy but suddenly Wales look like they are BACK BABY #WalvIta

Incredible to see this Irish squad find their rhythm and turn into possibly the best team we've ever had throughout this tournament

The impact Robert Baloucoune and Stuart McCluskey have had on the squad, on this tournament, CANNOT be understated #IREvSCO

I don't think I ever seen Gregor Townsend look so happy #ScovFra

This entire French squad will have to be smuggled back into France after this match #ScovFra

What in the name of God did they feed the Scottish team this morning #ScovFra
