Spain accounted for 40% of the total economic growth in the EU last year, and their green transition has been a very important factor in that.

1940: 🇩🇪🇫🇷The Nazis warned the French non-Jews to not hide any Jews, otherwise there would be consequences. 2026: 🇮🇱🇱🇧The Israelis warn the Lebanese non-Muslims to not hide any Muslims, otherwise there will be consequences.

How many of these Amazon data centres does have here again?

Trump getting more pathetic by the moment. In this instalment, having a tantrum about Springsteen and sounding like 5 year old still in a crèche

Pam bondi has been fired as Trumps AG The wheels are coming off his shitshow administration one by one.

This is amazin

New from @EmpirePodUK 1967: THE SIX DAY WAR How the Israeli occupation of the West Bank & Gaza Began

Aren’t they all here?

95% sure I just walked past Ian McDiarmaid on O’Connell st. No messin

Earlier on radio one they said work has started on carving Trumps stupid head onto Mount Rushmore and it’s a pretty sad but perfect example of how batshit everything is that it could well be happening and not an april fools joke they were doin

This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.

For Legend of Zelda fans, it’s all but confirmed Ocarina of time is being remade and coming to Switch 2 before Christmas. That’s the best news all year so far.

If you are an EU citizen and haven't signed... why haven't you signed? This petition could genuinely have an impact.

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent. In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country. This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

Hate when the window display in the charity shop isn’t on sale until the end of the month. Ragin

reminder that JK Rowling is not just some woman with anti-trans opinions. she is an anti-trans activist. she actively uses the money brought in through Harry Potter to support and fund anti-trans policies. she intends to do the same with this new TV series. grow up and let this franchise go.

It’s the 248th anniversary of the night Sarah Ponsonby escaped her guardians’ house in Woodstock, Kilkenny, in the dead of night to meet Lady Eleanor Butler in the barn. Eleanor had sneaked out of nearby Butler Castle, and they were headed for a packet boat to England 🧵

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

I’ve got one of the actual unused photos of Slint, from the photoshoot for the Spiderland, album cover. Taken by Will Oldham. Spiderland is 35 years old this week somehow. A timeless but crucial and monumental album in music history and for countless bands. #Slint #Spiderland35

Guy was growing weed and buying bitcoin in 2010. Gardai discovered him purely by accident. His passwords hid in a fishing rod that was lost to a dump. Now Gardai have cracked one of his 11 bitcoin accounts. The 11 are now worth €360 million. How are they being allowed keep it? Just how? #Spéirghorm

It's very difficult to convince people that walking to work will make a difference when.......

In my marmite era. This stuff is delicious and I’m close to going through two tubs a week. It’s like crack. I’m told Vegemite is even nicer but can’t find that in Dublin anywhere. Ah well

And now the dealer in their office has been caught rapid so it’ll be back to cranky

This

Disappointing result yes. But glorious to see our wonderful tricolour being used for the right reasons tonight. Shared by good people who come together to celebrate hope. This is what our flag stands for 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Immediately pivoting to demanding everyone boycott the World Cup

This is why we have the best writers and poets and singers. A relentless diet of disappointment and crushing injustice and misery. All from football. It makes Ireland what it is. We secretly love this losing shit and the football is our main feeder

If you've been waiting for the next great, XCOM-style tactics experience, Star Wars Zero Company is that and more: Lovers of Mass Effect and the Clone Wars animated series will be eating good here.

So.. #COYBIG

My local when Ireland beat Romania in 1990. Everyone on the street singing, cars beeping. It was pure magic.😍 Hopefully we'll experience that atmosphere again! 🇮🇪☘️⚽ #COYBIG #speirgorm

Czechs are losing the reason and losing the head all over the pitch with the fouling. That can only be a good thing right?

Getting ahead of meself and ordering a Mexico Guadalupe jersey. Sure it’s green in anyways and it was on sale

Puberty blockers killed no-one and the UK rushed through emergency legislation because of the 'danger'. Yet, somehow, neither the AI nor the misogyny here constitutes an 'emergency'

Whole world is about to be fucked, for years to come. An Irish govt w brains would be hammering the need for renewables and need to be building wind farms everywhere. www.france24.com/en/france-co...

With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".

Just heard the Trump administration called the Epstein Regime And I think we should all go with that from now on. Media especially.

@electionlit.bsky.social you need this one Alan? From 1981

I don’t engage in complaining about things I like being mined, but a new Lord of the Rings film coming from Peter Jackson and Stephen Colbert? This is unnecessary in the extreme. I mean hopefully it’ll be good. But yikes overall

Just had a cup of tea but with some normal full fat milk in. God I miss it

Daily reminder that Arab lives don’t matter

huh. #time_flies ⌛

Lovely couple of hours people watching in st Patrick’s park. This looks like it was quiet. It was packed and endless tour groups.

Brendan O Connor having a feature on that polymarket betting horror and explaining what it is and causally encouraging everyone to rush off and throw a few quid on it. Rte really is the pits but would have thought there were rules against that.

As for Ireland's other favourite song, this week's 'Mr Brightside'-Watch: 🔽 DOWN three places to no. 66 🔽 397 weeks in total on the Irish charts 🔽 NEVER no. 1 in Ireland 🔽 NEVER even in the Irish top 40 Three weeks to go #MrBrightsideIreland400 Chart data: IRMA www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdG...
