The communion one is great🤣

Yep. Connor Mc Gregor 🤮

Am currently supply teaching in a private school. When the boys hear that I'm Irish what Irish celebrity do they immediately name?

Since his comeback after the Federal Committee of the PSOE fired him in 2016 our guy made he sure no one would cross him again

Accelerationist loon, Living Marxism cult leader Frank fucking Furedi? Or some harmless namesake?

The new leader of America's Catholic bishops seems to be an ... ermmm .. interesting fellow www.ncronline.org/news/bishops...

Spain's Chielf Public Prosecutor on trial before the Supreme Court for supposedly leaking a "secret" about Díaz Ayuso's tax dodging boyfriend that half the journalists in Madrid knew already. PS: The Fiscal General del Estado is Chief Public Prosecutor, not Attorney General, for fuck´s sake

Seven years of this moral narcissism while depending on the Brits for defence is going to painful www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

It's not a long tradition and its viability is totally dependent on His Majesty King Charles III's armed forces to protect us

No keffiyeh!

Baby it's cold outside

I keep mine to 1k words or so because I don't believe anyone reads long screeds edited or otherwise

Nadine Dorries, surely

As usual in history, the massive intelligence failure on Oct 07 wasn't caused by a lack of information but rather by a failure to interpret it correctly. Oct 07 was a brilliant tactical success for Hamas, one which has led to a strategic defeat and a catastrophe for Gaza Palestinians

good point. the downside of it is that it's hard to meet a Spaniard that doesn't think that the country lags far behind the rest of Europe in pretty much every way, and the UK too🤣. And plenty think the economic and political situation is catastrophic

I agree

Just noticed the small hardware shop round the corner has closed. No idea how long it was there, decades, probably. Odds are it’ll become yet another phone shop or mini supermarket, both destined to rarely see a customer. I’m radically pro-immigrant, but not stupid.

"Ability to put a smart arse shine on the turd of conventional wisdom essential"

once my wife signed loyalty to the Spanish constitution all she had to do was make an appointment with the cops to get her ID card. Show up with ref number, have photo taken, wait a while, receive ID card. With ID card rinse and repeat for the passport. That's the slow moving Spanish bureaucracy !!

some also joined the IRA immediately on being demobbed, notable amongst them Emmet Dalton MC, and Reggie Dunne and Joe O'Sullivan. From the speech Dunne was prevented from making from the dock

Looking at the Boca- River classic. Disjointed play. Constant fouls ranging from niggles to GBH. Mouthing at the ref. Oscar level feigning injury. It's a wonder that so many Argentine players are successful abroad when they learn to play in this context

my mother's strategy for dealing with the winter cold was to cover us with so many layers of bedclothes that movement was near impossible 🤣

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection. Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

Pedro: 1) No general election until 2027, he's running again no matter what 2) Europe's real problem isn't rising fascism but the collapsing centre-right 3) Nuclear plants can maybe stay open if owners pay the costs themselves, no subsidies (298 characters) elpais.com/espana/2025-...

Sí, claro. Y yo soy el Rey de Bélgica

18 C and sunny in BCN. Locals not fooled. Zipped up puffa jackets and scarves abound. Wdnt want to catch a chill or be caught in a draft

Bye!

Well-deserved red card for Lood de Jager , if there is any doubt between yellow and red, there's no real doubt: it's red. Player welfare comes first

things are bad but not this bad, the figure must include holiday rentals etc. normal residental rental contract increase have been limited to the rate of inflation for some years, at least in most of Catalonia including Barcelona

Bye, bye asshole

the latter are not critics, they are imbeciles

Yes sir comrade Kristol. All power to the Neoconservative Front for the Restoration of America.

Speaking of Catholicism if you follow church affairs even a little bit you probably know this accounts satirises, well worth a follow

Only 1 listen but: 1. Fuck the begrudgers, esp. the sniffy "it's just a rehash of a phrase from the original score of Bollockovsky's 319th Symphony" ones. 2. We are in the presence of a great artist. 3. Make room, Bruce, we have another great Catholic artist open.spotify.com/intl-es/albu...

Gerry Kelly, who IIRC has shooting a prisoner in the head on his CV, standing up for PSNI. You love to see it

so much this

A ver que se sacan ahora para contraatacar

Why is everyone who works in HR a useless c***?

A decade ago much of the foreign media became interested in the Catalan indy drive, which reached a crescendo in 2017. It lapped up the human rights and democracy talk. Today the largest element in that movement is doing its damnedest to bring a right-fascist govt to power in Madrid

really

4/ Deindusrialisation seems to bring a particular set of social ills that other forms of radical economic change don’t and an east-west European comparison could be interesting . I wonder whether there’s something specific about capitalist industrial society going on here . Ends (Speculatively)

2/ It mattersI think that it’s an undirected market based mechanism - immigrants came on their own rather than brought in to fill gaps in major industries, which then collapsed, in the mid-20th century.

People with the drive to up sticks and move across the world to improve their lives earn more than those that stay put. 🧵
