Mass evictions of tenants by absentee landlords. Back to the 1800s we go!

More money for greyhound racing than domestic violence in this year's budget. AGAIN

Baoite na bPoncánach den scoth.

Ní raibh dea-chuma orm ar maidin ach tá meangadh orm anois mar gheall de na poncánach ag teacht isteach ar Bluesky na hÉireann.

Tá é féin fós ag póstáil. Caithfidh sé a bheith ina bhot.

Mahdi!

I truly believe articles like this are part of a deliberate effort not just to frame climate change as primarily a matter of individual consumer responsibility, but to encourage the public to blame disabled ppl specifically & view assistive tech as an extravagance humanity can’t afford, while (1/2)

*amhrán *sigh* Tá cnaipe eagarthóireachta de dhíth againn anseo fós.

When I see the rest of the world fawning over the Irish government for something they've done, in this case making the basic income for the arts permanent, which is undoubtedly a good thing, I do feel the need to point out that they're a bunch of shites who don't make a habit of doing good things

Más féidir libh, cur do postálacha do na poncánaigh i nGaeilge don craic.

Tá na poncánaigh ar fud na suímhe seo ar maidin. Tá ceann dóibh ag seoladh teachtaireacht amháin in aghaigh an nóiméad. Meabhair go huile is go iomláin friuchta aige.

At this stage, my main motivation for trying to learn enough Gaeilge to be able to post on here in it is to no longer receive replies from the specific type of North Americans that are all over the timeline at the moment having an absolute meltdown in Irish people's mentions. We can free ourselves.

And @nialljournal.bsky.social has now blocked me. How telling. Please don't let this die - there IS a story here and @thejournal.ie and the Gardai both have questions to answer on how this information reached the media.

I've heard some mad Land Parasite stories over the years but this one is competing for 1st place. Fire up the woodchipper for this guy.

Even then, a Suzuki Jimny or Japanese kei truck would do 90% of the mostly light to medium rural work with 4x4, lower loading bays, and a smaller vehicle.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Yeah, Jim Gavin's presidential run is toast.

the white house quickly posted and deleted a donald trump statement israel and palestinian peace deal and had it signed as “hamas” instead of trump lol

I think it is important to note the Nazis were buffoons. Being not smart is a subset of being fascist.

É seo ar fad. Bheadh sé go deas duine agus Gaeilge acu a bheith ina (h)uachtarán. Ach ní dhéanfaidh sé sin faic don teanga. Plámás a bheadh ann.

"I'm being excluded from public life because of my socially conservative views" Which ones? "Oh, you know the ones"

I haven’t seen this mentioned but it’s important. The Bunreacht, drafted in thr context of the rise of fascism in Europe, made it deliberately difficult to get a nomination to run for president. Then the Oireachtas nomination route took 20 out of 198 members, or 10%…

Because we have more TDs now, it takes 20 out of 234, or 8.5% and this in the context of a more splintered political system. TL;DR it is easier to get a nomination now than at any other time.

It's 'couch surfing' if you're travelling. This is homelessness.

Mordor on the Orient Express

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors

Hon na leaids!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

For those of you interested, this research report on barriers to studying and working as an ISL interpreter is available now, done in partnership with the Irish Deaf Society and @ihrec.bsky.social Also available in ISL format at the link www.irishdeafsociety.ie/publications...

Spending all that money on a handbag to try and pull off a look that screams '€2 shop Thatcher'.

I have a compromise candidate for the Presidental election. Sure, he's been dead for decades and not Irish; but would a resurrected Mecha-Tito dreadnaught really be worse than the other options?

With each day, this tweet becomes more prescient.

If you all remember Menna- she was a med student and today she was able to get to Ireland to study (which is a minor miracle) ❤️❤️❤️

A healthy reminder that most of the electorate are, and always have been, gullible morons.
