I feel like Rozi Plain is just the perfect autumn music. Have a listen and let me know if you agree. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4S0...

Urgent request!!! (not really) Desperately seeking McIntosh apples literally anywhere in the 32 counties. Please share! 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏 #speirgorm #spéirgorm #speirghorm #spéirghorm

What would you do: You live in Europe. Your niece is getting married, so you fly over to America to attend. On the day of the wedding, you realise that you have come down with a (non-covid) cold and you're sneezing a lot. Do you attend the wedding?

Of course there’s auroras the fucking minute I leave the US

I didn’t want to come to the US this year but fate had other plans for me. Now, after seven weeks in America, I’m on a plane about to take me back to my home in Ireland and I feel like my heart is splitting into a million pieces.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

"The Séance of Blake Manor stands as one of 2025’s most captivating narrative mysteries — a tale of ghosts, guilt, and the price of curiosity. With its award-winning storytelling and deeply immersive mechanics, it’s a must-play for fans of Return of the Obra Dinn..." - Thanks @indiesagas.bsky.social

The Blessed Madonna eviscerates Róisín Murphy: ‘Keep trans people out of your motherf**king mouth’ https://bit.ly/4nhrPBu

Róisín Murphy was never real.

Roisin Murphy is so cooked by TERFism that legally I should be allowed The Time is Now as my song and when I perform it people go “Sooz wrote that” and it’s the law.

Fuck Roisin Murphy. She was my hero for two decades but I couldn’t care less. I do not idolise transphobes.

Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, France, and Morocco, permitted the transfer of weapons through their ports and airports. She noted that Spain and Slovenia had cancelled contracts and imposed embargoes.

1. Violence didn’t just break out. It was so preplanned that far-right ‘bloggers’ were able travel from England to attend. 2. Name it. It’s far-right violence. 3. If the targets of violence are singled out for race or ethnicity & other groups are not targeted in a similar way, that’s racist. [1/2]

A full blown fascist riot results in 6 arrests. 8 women were arrested by the Gardai during the peaceful Mothers Against Genocide protest outside the Dáil. Tells you everything you need to know.

Did a new one

good afternoon

Macintosh apples are the best apple. It's not up for discussion.

Spotted this abomination in a US grocery store. I wonder do Americans think Irish people eat this garbage?

Come on, girls Do you believe in god? 'Cause I got something to say about it And it goes something like this #Aras25

I don’t think the word ceasefire means what a lot of people seem to think it means.

You have 48 hours before the Grand Séance at the Blake Manor Hotel. 48 hours to discover what happened to the missing Evelyn Deane. 48 hours to uncover the many secrets at play. Do you have what it takes? Play the demo: bit.ly/47Pm8XA #WishlistWednesday

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

More Irish activists have now been taken by the IDF from international waters including author Naoise Dolan, TD Barry Heneghan and psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane. They are part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Just finding out Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall is dead. To me, anyway.

Real quick just want to remind everyone that Graham Linehan is a deranged bigot

A question for UK/Irish political types/writers/correspondents. I'm writing a piece for The Fence and need to know: what is the single cringiest thing you've ever seen at a party conference?

If you’re sending flowers to someone with cats, be sure the flowers you choose are not harmful to cats.

Mad magazine back in the 1960’s

Looking very displeased that the grubby heathen hoi polloi stymied her immaculate ascension, but if she needs a tissue to dab away a perfect tear, I’m sure she’s got some in that €20K Hermes bag she’s got there

When you know someone affected by gun violence, don’t say “I have no words” to them about their loss. Have words. Find the words. Shout your words. Write them to members of the US government. And those words should be “I demand gun control laws”.

If I can just toot my own horn here, I made a light fixture out of a bowl I got on clearance for €1! I cut a hole in it and placed it over the glass fixture that was there already.

We were so excited to showcase our launch date announcement as part of the Convergence Games Showcase tonight! The Séance of Blake Manor is coming to Steam on 27 October 2025! bit.ly/TheS%C3%A9an...

Please do not jump down my throat and I'm not generally face blind whatsoever, but whenever I see a photo of either Anthony Bourdain or Jeffrey Epstein I literally don't know which of them I'm looking at. I didn't pay much attention to either of them when they were alive but it's like... every time.

Me: You leave so many crumbs on the counter and you don't clean it up. Why do you do that? Him: Oh, is that CRUMBY of me?

US Army officers arrested for protesting genocide.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

This week, when I was getting my Rx refills from the chemist, I remembered to say that I didn't want any Teva products. Happy to report that McFadden's in Stoneybatter isn't sourcing from Teva unless there's absolutely no alternative. #boycottteva #bds

Giving updates on the awful things happening in America is the new Irish mammy telling you who died.
