Chapeau to the editor of the Irish Times for publishing this letter. High brow shithousery.

After winning the league last year, Shels had an awards night in a Dublin hotel. Afterwards a few of us retired to the bar. By pure coincidence, a club legend from the 60s was there with his family. In 1967 he scored the fastest hat-trick ever recorded in senior football. youtu.be/DyNaEkR0Brw...

I’ve written something on John Collison’s Op-Ed and environmental democracy Next time you’re out in Dublin, check if you’re being “socially de-risked” by a friendly face from his think-tank elajucd.com/2025/11/21/o...

It will cost you nothing to share my work but it could change my year! Tis' the season for sales and corporate greed, I am just your friendly neighborhood LOI guy, a one man band making work about things we all love. You know where I am if you need any seasonal gifts 😇

I would love if they did it in character. Super Hans doing the showstopper on crack would be amazing 😄 #GBBO #PeepShow

If you are feeling down and like a bit of a failure, remember that the guy who failed children with scoliosis and mishandled the children’s hospital to the tune of €bn’s is now the min for finance. You got this!

I would love Ireland to qualify for the World Cup for all the usual reasons. But it would also be fantastic to have the whole country festooned in tricolours that haven't been put up by the "Ireland is Full" lot.

Parrott's magnificent hat-trick sends Ireland to play-offs in amazing comeback win @gcooney93.bsky.com reports from Budapest on an incredible day for Irish football the42.ie/6876390

And Domhnall Gleeson to play Liam Scales in the biopic #COYBIG

It might be my sweaty eyes and the day that's on it but, from a certain angle, Troy Parrott looks a little like a young George Best 😊 #COYBIG

Can't say I ever knew much about The Singing Nun but I always assumed a sort of happy clappy, Sound of Music vibe. However, her story is more interesting than that and, ultimately, quite sad really. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sin...

Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

Only 25 years ago 😯 Is that Maria Steen meeting Jeremy at the prison gate? Image of her if it isn't. www.rte.ie/archives/201...

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

‘Irish Times headline “Brent geese put paid to 580 Dublin apartments” does a disservice both to journalism & to environmental protection’ www.irishtimes.com/opinion/lett... (Irish Independent blamed the geese too, & both papers published the story before the decision was publicly available)

Anyhow this morning I'm just remembering Stormy Daniels's testimony about Trump during the Manhattan trial www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.

PSA: tips to protect yourself from scams on Signal. Every major comms platform has to contend w phishing, impersonation, & scams. Sadly. Signal is major, and as we've grown we've heard about more of these attacks--scammy people pretending to be something or someone to trick and abuse others. 1/

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Media outlets need to break ties with X www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Ireland is in favour of Europe’s bid to break encryption to allow police pursue serious crime (particularly CSAM), via the proposed ‘Chat Control’ law. But EU countries are starting to turn against the idea, with Germany calling it “unjustified chat monitoring”. m.independent.ie/business/tec...

saw this. had to share.

This is why it’s The Epstein Recess. It won’t be back in session until after the special election in TN on Dec. 2nd, where Johnson hopes he’ll get a vote that counteracts Grijalva’s vote. Yes, Republicans are willing to let kids go hungry and for the economy to tank to protect wealthy pedophiles.

“He claimed that he learned from a comment by Taoiseach Micheál Martin and from RTÉ News that 80pc of asylum seekers were economic migrants” Lies told by politicians have real consequences www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

My first reading of this was that it was nice to help people get away from rugby 😄

Nice job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

How about Jim O' Callaghan and all govt TDs/bodies/orgs get off X. Start with that. Like that would be one easy and simple step that would have instant effect.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Really REALLY important that everyone who enjoys #SpéirGhorm goes through these settings and toggles the switch to enable 'rude' posts. Tis a rare one of us who doesn't have a colourful tongue.

I liked getting Shels news on Twitter but this is why I'm here now. I never posted anything myself on X but when I came here there was so little actual Shels stuff that I started posting match photos just to add something. I very much appreciate Shels / LOI people's posts so, thanks to all who do.

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

You are shitting me

Tolka Park has been secured for the future! ❤️🤍 A 250-year lease has officially been signed with Dublin City Council, securing Tolka Park as the long-term home of Shelbourne! 🏟️ shelbournefc.ie/shelbourne-f...

The formal agreements follow Dublin City Council’s decision to approve the sale of Tolka Park to Shelbourne by way of long lease in 2024.

The so-called "red tape" that needs cutting is Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael's chaotic housing policies that created and then compounded the housing crisis. Zero point trying to blame anything or anyone else, or trying to pretend that the financialisation of housing isn't a core ideological failure.

Wow the IT actually printed my letter #speirghorm

I again pay tribute to @ria.ie for ceasing to use ‘X’ www.ria.ie/2025/05/01/t... And AGAIN ask why the hell Irish universities continue to do so?! Please @ucddublin.bsky.social @orlafeely.bsky.social give us some leadership here?

Every Irish politician needs to get off this racist’s website *immediately*. There is no excuse. #speirgorm

A message to Irish politicians: Leadership is not always about doing what people want; sometimes it's about doing what is right, and bringing the people with you, even when you think it's not popular. This is one of those times. #SpeirGorm

If a PBP TD said that there were too many foxhunters in Ireland and then there was a arson attack on a hunting lodge that night, you can be damn sure that Simon Harris could join the dots. He really should resign.

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...

The attack in Drogheda is shocking, but not surprising. This government ignoring right wing violence has led us here, and without meaningful response will only lead to deaths
