"Josh Devlin, aged 24,..." "Jonathan Judge, aged 22..." "Mr Devlin is a father of one and is working as a carpenter. Mr Judge has two children" But they were willing to kill children - "The children rescued ranged in age from three weeks to 12-years-old." #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

21. A frustrating paradox of modern nerd life is that if you lend someone a book, you're less likely to get it back if they don't finish it. Break that cycle! Return unfinished borrowed books. Just say thank you, don't explain. It's better for everyone this way.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

If anyone is looking for a place to donate, I've volunteered at this shelter for almost 9 years now. Veterinary costs are up, surrenders are up, kitten season never ends... We have a cat hospitalized at Tufts right now with estimated cost of $4500. www.mansfieldshelter.org/donate

Had a dream last night that I was eating this brightly coloured ice-cream patchwork thing that I kept calling a lasagna, and Alex Horne was there with one too and he said jokingly "What way should I eat this?" & I said he was allowed to enjoy things and just to eat it normally, like a human 💀😭

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

The House of Lords gave a lifeline to wildlife this week, voting in favour of vital amendments to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Sign our petition demanding that MPs vote to uphold these amendments. protectthewild.substack.com/p/house-of-l...

I see it's time for me to make the point again that the poppy is a fundraising campaign for the Royal British Legion, a specific, mundane entity that is not exempt from scrutiny and does not own the concept of remembrance. You can read its 2024 accounts here: storage.rblcdn.co.uk/sitefinity/d...

Dogshit AI slop for an ad from coke yes, but we're all boycotting Coca-Cola anyway because of it's support of Israel and the genocide of Palestinians. Right?

My piece on how populist political NIMBYism stymies renewable energy is in today’s @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Disagree. Showing that it can be done has an exhilarating effect on the whole "it can't be done" mantra in other political conversations around the world. As we say in Irish: "impossible" is just buttered possible, baby...

I starting watching S4 of The Witcher last night but quickly realisedi did not remember *ANYTHING* that happened in the previous season

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords. This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

Some very quick googling found 12 articles about how we never talk about immigration, often written by the same people

It cannot be overstated how much of a bastard Cheney was. There is no word that can encapsulate his entirely human, utterly horrific goulishness. For the death & suffering he willfully & joyfully brought to this world, there can't truly be a fitting retribution or punishment.

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff! If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Catastrophic nature loss is at least as serious a problem as climate breakdown, but only gets a fraction of the (woefully inadequate) attention. THE most critical tasks of our time are: • Protect what remains of wild ecosystems • Mass rewilding where damaged or lost www.earth.com/news/africas...

Get better at spotting AI. The cans blur weirdly. Those people wouldn't be standing so close and would move away when the bear walks towards them. The man in green appears to be looking at something else and the way the bear moves when it's standing looks like a cartoon.

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

The "environment" vs "housing" narrative wants us to think there's only one path to housing and it's being scuppered. The reality is Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil will sooner eradicate our last few pockets of healthy environment than address vacancy, dereliction, short-term lets etc. #spéirgorm

Oh so it turns out we are allowed criticise the EU after all, but only when it's about [checks notes] upholding environmental standards

Unfinished apartment complex in East Meath where rentals are impossible to find. Vacant buildings all over Drogheda. And “in Ireland, nearly half of all units delivered since 2017 were purchased by investment funds”. This is government policy causing housing crisis.

We don't have the luxury of being cynical about our options. Whatever replaces #FFG will not be perfect. We need to view the challenge in terms of real world outcomes. Youre not voting for parties, you're voting for fewer homeless children, fewer patients on trolleys etc. We can do better.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are at their most dangerous now. They're lashing out in desperation to try and cling to power in any way they can. The only thing worse than #FFG swinging to the right before losing power, is FFG swinging to the right and keeping it. #spéirgorm

It’s hard to get your head around the scale of a glacier and how slowly they form. And once you do, it’s equally hard to fathom how we could lose one.

Just discovered the two peace lilies I got in Tesco over the last few weeks both have millipedes in the soil 😭😭😭

Just paid the aul' income tax for the year and consequently have about two beans left to rub together, so if you've been looking for a bit of Irish art now's a very good time to buy. It's this or train the crows to rob billionaires and I'm running out of cheese bribes

The housing crisis in Ireland dates back to the 1980’s when the Government stopped building public housing, and failed to reform the private rental sector. This was at a time of massive emigration. Blaming recent immigrants for housing problems is as logical as blaming moving statues. #SpéirGhorm

I see Musk is claiming that immigrants are fucking up Ireland, but I honestly can't think of a foreigner who has fucked us as hard as that dipshit when he bought Twitter and disrupted our information space and a really useful organisational space. #spéirgorm

Never forget: your government didn't give a shit about 7 years of escalating arson attacks on IPAS centres & street assaults on immigrants & LGBT people & that they & the media described the arsonists & shitters on ballot papers as having "reasonable concerns." www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Never forget that people who pose as "protectors" of women & children have been emboldened *by government & media* right up to the point where they try to burn women & children in their beds.

They had seven years to take the attacks seriously. Instead they and many in the media did chin stroking "legitimate concerns" and "both sides". They were doing it the day before the attack, and complaining that the left was telling them to stop before someone gets killed. They own this.

Simon Harris is a coward and a bully who would rather scapegoat innocent communities of vulnerable people rather than face up to the failures of either his government or himself as a leader, a Cabinet minister and a human being. Couldn't think less of him and have no problem saying it.
