Two men have appeared before court charged with arson offences in connection with a fire at an IPAS centre in Drogheda last week. They were arrested by gardaí investigating the fire which happened in the Co Louth town on Halloween night

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus. joemygod.com/2025/11/mo-y...

Best TV in ages. And best last episode of Traitors ever? #CelebrityTraitors

American employment law seems wild. People always seem to be getting fired on the spot. If your European employer did this they’d be destroyed in the labour court and you’d walk out with a lot of money

The International Federation of Journalists and European Federation of Journalists have called for the reinstatement of the journalist who was fired for asking an EU Commission spokesperson if Israel should pay for Gaza's reconstruction

[Dick Cheney's final breath] Tell my family I loved...war crimes

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Graham Linehan masquerades as a victim. In reality, he’s an aggressive, obsessive bully - and Victoria Coren-Mitchell just called him out on it.

THIS IS SO GOOD

For the second time today, once I've been prompted to look further I'm pretty sure this is AI generated. Leonard McCombe is a real photographer, his photos do not, however, typically look like this.

Outgoing President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina have welcomed President-elect Catherine Connolly and her family to Áras an Uachtaráin. Connolly will be inaugurated as Ireland’s 10th president next week. #VMNews

Awwwww. Just had a sweet little nostalgic moment for Twitter I’d completely forgotten that Eve Fartlow even existed till I saw someone post screenshots on here of her having an absolutely EPIC post Mamdani meltdown. Utterly deranged but heartwarming stuff 🥰

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

This person took this when they called the race

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

hug your war criminals a little tighter today

Apart from everything else, Zohran is a fucking cool name

April: If we don’t get Housing right in seven months, we’re screwed. November: Housing crisis here until 2040.

This is me too. Being heavily penalised for doing the right thing. And now, fewer people will

“I’m going to put my teeth in now” after giving a great concise sensible interview on why she, a 91 year old Jewish daughter of a Rockette (!), voted for Mamdani

[stands up on the bus] I don’t understand the John Lewis ad

This is a lovely story to take your mind off… well, you know, everything. And I’m going to go ahead and make a broad assumption about Émilien based on just one line: “In his living room, there are no piles of huge reference books, just a memoir of the French singer Barbara” 😉

My favourite collective term for billionaires is, a gulag.

RIP Teen Vogue’s marxist era 🥲

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

15M views in one week. I can see why. Rosalía’s epic, operatic Berghain (with Björk and Yves Tumor). youtu.be/htQBS2Ikz6c?...

Much more of this please

I think in general I have a fairly high “politician forgiveness” threshold because I understand they face a firehose of shit everyday and also in a democracy they have to comprise all the time, but Simon Harris not standing up for immigrants in this moment feels like one that crosses that threshold

This from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social is a clear and horrifying explanation of the atrocities underway in El Fasher. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Getting a face on listening to the noisy/fun “Dublin Nights” event on Capel St wondering what the straight community would do without gay MCs to host their family events who use every survival trick they learned as little gay boys to be the camp harmless entertaining one who’s always happy and *FUN*

If you’re out here wringing your hands writing articles about why a bloke who thinks immigrants get free cars wrote “cunt” on his ballot paper, instead of writing articles about the well funded fascists who ran a campaign aimed at that guy, then you have no business pretending to be a journalist

I am going to lose my fucking mind! One more time: THE REASON THERE WERE A LOT OF SPOILED VOTES IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONCERTED ORGANISED CAMPAIGN BY BAD ACTORS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO… (YOU GUESSED IT!) SPOIL THEIR FUCKING VOTES It wasn’t organic! Now shut up and stop being enragingly thick

Dublin drag queen called 'Anne Anyways'

New York knows how to do Halloween!

Really horrific stories coming out of Sudan

😭

Trans people warned those groups like the “LGB Alliance”, and other Vichy gays etc, that the fascists were coming for them after they had helped the fascists come for us. Every single one of these anti-trans “LGB” groups, is a Quisling group & should be referred to as fascist collaborators.

Take my money

I really don’t remember seeing a large number of ads selling the US as a tourist destination before, but recently they are everywhere on my internet. Has someone somewhere worked out that everything we see of the US now makes most tourists want to avoid it?

If you are looking for something spooky but also tuneful to watch tonight, my film All You Need Is Death, about a couple of musicologists who get themselves in trouble by recording a song that was never meant to be recorded, is available on many streamers; linktr.ee/paulduane

These people are insane.

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country. All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year. All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

I for one am *absolutely shocked* that the delivery company that makes you cry when you see your parcel has been handed to them, has gone bust. Solidarity with the workers who’ll lose their jobs though, and I hope they’ll find new work soon (maybe with a company that actually delivers parcels!)

An *ivory* saddle is audacious! Fuck it. Take my soul Drac. You’ve earned it!

Glad to hear Richard is doing well - especially because he’s partly responsible for my “Noble Call” speech at the Abbey Theatre You see… The play The Risen People by James Plunkett had a three month run in The Abbey from Nov ‘13 to Feb ‘14, and the theatre invited a different person to “respond”…
