Hearing reports of Jim Gavin canvassers in the Wicklow mountains who are refusing to surrender.

I imagine Bertie currently feels as miserable as he looked in this picture. It brings me immense joy.

Btw this whole Jim Gavin thing is going to be considerably less funny when it results in Jim O'Callaghan as Taoiseach tbh, but for now, lol lmao

Laaaaads. Somewhere Michéal is sitting with his head in his hands and Billy Kelleher is plotting his revenge

The misogynistic abuse directed toward Rory McIlroy's wife Erica Stoll at the Ryder Cup shows cultural shift, one where men feel emboldened to attack women in public, without shame or consequence: www.glamour.com/story/the-mi...

The extent to which DCC has sold or given space to advertising for this game is evident all over the city. They've hoisted flags, turned entire pavement & roadway surfaces into billboards (Capel & Parliament St), and now just blithely painted over artwork and turned that into advertising space too.

Dublin 8 when?

You know what didn’t happen? Pundits going on Gab, Parler, Gettr, or Truth Social to repeatedly say “no one cares about this site, you’re in a bubble, you forfeited your influence, things are awesome on the site you don’t use anymore, so awesome that I come here to tell you you’re dumb unlike me.”

Today, JD Vance urged Republicans to put on the "full armor of god" to fight their opponents. Tonight, some of the most powerful people in tech will gather to hear Peter Thiel—who created Vance—give a secret lecture on the Antichrist. It's all the same talking point, folks: politics as holy war

Charlie Kirk was not a “free speech activist” and any outlet that tells you he was is lying to you. He wanted unlimited freedom for himself and as little as possible for the people he hated, ie anyone who wasn’t a white male conservative. His values were trash

the assassination of a sitting state senator and her husband in June got zero attention in this country, so all these performative statements on Charlie Kirk from Irish politicians are really something

Make Bertie Ahern realise the limits of his hubris AND possibly score another number 1 album? What is left for CMAT to achieve at this point??

The headline is purely inaccurate and so so dangerous. Those without status don't and have never qualified for HAP. Being assessed as unable to meet habitual residency condition (seemingly the core issue here) is not the same as being undocumented, or as the Mirror calls it, "illegal"

Three apartments in Smithfield going for €1.2 million. No news in that these days, but in the ad they make a point of highlighting that the units are vacant and have been for three years, and as such no rent caps will apply.

Please give this a response, it's super quick. Basic Income for Artists has been a huge success for those who received it. I've talked to musicians who were able to complete projects and music they otherwise wouldn't have, because of the scheme. It should be retained and expanded

Some of the nastiest racists in Ireland have newspaper columns, print and broadcast media regularly platform and both-sides. I'm glad Paul is calling out that it isn't just the frothing lunatics that are responsible for what's happening but the media's role is a missing piece

The latest spate of attacks on Indian people is simply the outworking of a renormalisation of racism within our public discourse.

The bicycle played a rich role in Ireland’s past. Now it is key to our future | Cian Ginty

The only viable candidate for the presidency so far. Please do it, if only so we can enjoy the debates!

It makes sense that it's Hugh Linehan who decides he wants to be the person to import UK style culture war issues into Ireland. 🙄 Hugh, read the room - this nasty "debate" about people's rights has been roundly rejected by Irish feminists and guarded against by the LGBT+ community. Follow our lead.

Four days after the occupation of Hirschfeld’s Institute of Sexology, the entire contents of its library, at the time probably the greatest collection of LGBT research, was removed and ceremoniously burned. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’. - Heinrich Heine. 2/2

Important as people celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day this week, and the loss and sacrifice of millions, that we also remember the anniversaries of where tyranny and fascist authoritarianism started only 12 years earlier. These are the lessons to learn from to prevent history being repeated

27 years ago this week, the people of London voted 72% in favour of having a directly elected mayor. 25 years ago this week, they elected their first mayor. Meanwhile, this FF/FG government is hiding behind Conor McGregor as an excuse for denying Dubliners a say on the future of their city.
