still away for the week but i couldn't resist sharing this wonderful news with you all. ciao. 😭

the main concern is that with my genetic data the government can make a tiny clone of me that they can torture to get even more of my data

where was this energy for molly shah?

A long overdue addition

narrowboats- how sinister are they?

Definitive Millennial song? Sounds like you’re still tethered to the possibility of systematising the world to impose your own meaning, a bid to ignore the crushing nothingness. Anyway, in Ireland it’s Maniac 2000

Surgilube (a surgical lubricant made from 'natural water-soluble gums') is stored in the balls

I also find it pointed how Scotland, Wales and NI’s aspiration for a different political order is presented as ‘nationalism’ whereas English nationalism - other than the Far Right - is naturalized as somehow neutral and apolitical. Rather than what it was - imposed and asymmetric.

Now that I have been mildly critical of Britain's best loved man, I should just say that I quite dislike Paddington (both movies), close my laptop and walk away not once glancing back at the conflagration of my mentions.

They gave him an award and called him an environmental activist lmaooo

It’s an absolutely open and admitted policy of the Department of Justice that non-EU/UK citizens without either a Stamp 4 or an employment permit should NOT be facilitated to integrate. The fewer roots they put down the fewer rights they have under Article 8 ECHR and the easier they are to deport.

Irish government: migrants and refugees need to integrate into local communities *migrants and refugees integrate, build families and community, get educated, get jobs* Irish government: not like that!

(cheerfully) I don't mean to sound petty and vindictive but I am so that's the way it comes out

The Onion ass headline

The way that these types of incidents are constantly framed as apolitical is why, 5 years after a man attacked 6 women, stabbing them as he cycled past them in Belfast, mentioning this is met with blank looks from legislators, while you can be sure they would remember if it was labelled properly.

i think it's unfair to say the press should have been like a dog with a bone over reform racism when they've had so many urgent articles to write on zack polanski. they can't do everything!

Are jean shorts fine for half marathon?

In a pub toilet in Belfast and a guy just dried his hands by shadow boxing.

malcolm tucker gimmick account having a meltdown FOR THE AGES on twitter

Very funny that every organisation he joins becomes the “No McGuirk’s Club”

Ask not for who the rake thwaps, it thwaps for thee

John McGuirk is suspended from Gript media because he kept walking side to side, snapping his hands and saying "I am the king of the crabs"

Very pleased for Carlotta after this shit. That's Councillor Allum, to you Steve Reed

UK Labour is effectively now Little English Labour.

Someone I know who works in the HSE told me about this a year and a half ago. It's not a surprise. The Irish government just built the most expensive children's hospital IN THE WORLD but there's nowhere for staff to park.

This is an important win for drag artists defamed by the far-right and news outlets repeating baseless tropes as ‘news’.

The logistics of tits and ass

I have no idea what’s been going on here but it does feel like it’s involved some highly dubious behaviour, and not by the defence lawyer.

Chat chi ppy tea

Amnesty International has expressed grave concerns at a judgment by the Supreme Court allowing the UK government’s appeal in a major case on the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict, warning it represents a profound setback for victims, truth & the rule of law. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/uk-su...

Couldn't get further than the Mad Paddy bio sorry I can't do that

Reading about the suffragist movement, as I do on election day. Hard to pick a fave, some top dames with top quotes. Contance Markievicz (Irish suffragette/nationalist badass) is a longtime fave "Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank and buy a revolver."

Got me bang to rights

Tony Blair was at his most successful after squeezing out a tear for the people's princess, I think we need to see Keir Starmer cry, I think it might work

Donegal just needs to call itself the "Golfing Capital of the NW". This is fucking embarrassing. We won't build public transport infrastructure to link up the country, to help people get to work, to ease traffic congestion and spark repopulation in rural villages but...golf. Joke of a country.

An investigation by the Police Service of Northern Ireland into the murder of showjumper Katie Simpson amounted to a “profound failure” marked by a “culture of misogyny and complacency”, an independent review has concluded.

This gets to the heart of why so much of Irish media is made up of people desperately hoping that Ireland is a lot more racist than it actually is.

Zack Polanski put dog shit in a paper bag and set light to it and left it on my doorstep and rang the doorbell and then ran away and then I opened the door and saw the fire and then stamped on the fire and then I had burnt dogshit all over my shoes and that is why he cannot be Prime Minister

Ye can see the Mournes burning in this
