Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — decrying “fat generals and admirals” — outlined new rules for the “highest male standard” for fitness in combat roles. “If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it,” he told hundreds of military leaders ordered to gather at Quantico for his speech.

A question for UK/Irish political types/writers/correspondents. I'm writing a piece for The Fence and need to know: what is the single cringiest thing you've ever seen at a party conference?

In 1991, the Fine Gael Ard Fheis had a skit by popular entertainer Twink in which she played a sassy cleaning lady. Eoghan Harris wrote the jokes.

Me: i’m Autistic Them: Oh you take things literally Me: No that’s kleptomania

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Pete Hegseth is actually three war crimes in a trench coat… buttoned to the TOP.

"..stupid rules of engagement.."

Gavin Newsom responds to whatever the heck that Pete Hegseth speech was

Are the Trump and Hegseth lads in the states *trying* to get couped?? I mean way to give the finger to your entire military...

'He said all fitness tests would be set to male benchmarks only' - just one of many, many hateful policies reported on today. Truly, the US is so fucked. www.independent.ie/world-news/u...

I want to know who's paying for all these bot accounts on tiktok generating racist hate? #Speirgorm #aras25

Can no longer go to John Grant in National Boxing Arena in Dublin on Sat so selling my ticket. 37.00 so cheaper than original 😭😭 www.ticketswap.com/listing/john...

So 41 complaints over half a decade, 32 from Peadar and 11 ended up donating after it was explained why anyway, leaving between 20-30 in 5 years to make up the anti-trans article quota for the indo this Sunday. F U C K OFFFFFF!!!! www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

The Irish media had their brain broken during the Equal Marriage referendum when they learned that platforming the far right was good for clicks and they never learned anything else ever again

If you can't be at this carnival attend any pro-Palestinian march,vigil or protest and you'll find like minded folks. I'll be in Bedford Row in Limerick tomorrow. Hopefully I'll see you there. T'wont be a carnival but t'will be just as important. No pasarán. #saoirsedonphalaistín #ireland #speirgorm

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

This is so fucking dangerous

AI told me yesterday that 1 in 10 is more than 1 in 8, but sure, let’s retool our entire society to depend on it.

Using this!

Our former President Mary Robinson, told Channel 4 News that "the United States is complicit in this famine and unfolding genocide" of Palestinians in Gaza through its support of apartheid Israel. She's right, and shamefully the US uses Shannon Airport every day. #GazaGenocide Video Channel 4 News

Hate watching #HouseOfGuinness as our next #speirghorm communal experience feels appropriate as #TraitorsIrl over now??

If you're going to bang on about elite cliques, at least get somone off camera to hold on to your 20 grand handbag. #SpeirGorm #Áras25

or, hear me out, he could start his monologue with “I lived, bitch” and go from there

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

The control-de-wimmen caucus in Leinster House want Steen on the ballot so people have a “right to choose”. How ironic. www.thejournal.ie/maria-steen-...

"People who feel like the government isn't doing enough racism, people who wish divorce was still illegal, people who think those women shouldn't have got those nice priests in trouble, all those poor lovely ignored people...."

Just found out the absolute rotter of a 'flu' I have is COVID, 3rd bloody time, and I'm vaccinated too. Rotten dose, coming into day 6, how have others found it? Zero craic #speirghorm

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't). My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

I’ve been caught out more than once by Siri creating calendar entries that don’t understand time zones. It’s a good example of AI in general: superficially it works, but the corner cases with large costs to a mistake render it useless in practice.

Dublin Airport's authority has said there is currently no timeline to fix a check-in and boarding systems issue that has been causing passenger disruption at Terminal 2

Israel bombed a Houthi-aligned newspaper office in Yemen, killing at least 31 journalists in the second largest targeted killing of media workers CPJ has ever recorded. One more expansion of Israel’s claimed right to bomb anyone, anywhere, any time with impunity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Excellent news. The only way to change Ireland is get FF and FG out and to keep them out for a century, whether that be the Áras, the Oireachtas or a local council.

I just want to see a horse that looks exactly like Liam Neeson, is that *too* much to - oh wait, here's one.

He literally wrote the FCC section. It was there and out in the open for all to see. But the price of eggs was high, so… 🤷‍♂️

They could pass the Occupied Territories bill in 24 hours, but they choose not to. All hat and no cattle.
