The crucial word in all the media excitement about the flooding this time is 'Dublin'.

No words.

Understand this as official admission that the Gaza Health Ministry toll is and has, since the beginning, been a significant undercount. As all external expert analysis has said all along, up to and including the US State Department.

Whenever flooding hits, we hear in detail all about the wrecked homes, livelihoods, property, and related misery. But NEVER the major cause: that Ireland has been totally stripped of the native ecosystems like forest & bogs that would naturally have absorbed the water. share.google/aNF6Fg26wdmB...

I mean, who would have thought that nearly 20 years of a housing crisis, rising house prices and rents, job insecurity, massive childcare costs, etc would have resulted in people not having children? Its almost as if the govt can't foresee the consequences of its policies. www.rte.ie/news/educati...

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

'Since Berners-Lee’s disappointment a decade ago, he’s thrown everything at a project that completely shifts the way data is held on the web, known as the Solid (social linked data) protocol. It’s activism that is rooted in people power – not unlike the first years of the web.'

Christ above.

Who is this quack? Who is this hack putting the lives of millions at risk by rejecting decades of vaccine success. Get rid of all of these nut jobs-starting at HHS top. Did you vote for this? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/h...

Two things happened last weekend. 1. A group of pro-Trump billionaires took control of TikTok's U.S. operations. 2. TikTok appeared to begin suppressing content about ICE's activity in Minneapolis and criticism of Trump.

Struggling to understand why these 50 partially completed houses in Cashel are to be demolished instead of finishing them off as social housing Who can argue with 50 families getting a much needed home? While most sustainable is the existing #DerelictIreland #speirgorm By @tippfm.bsky.social

Good piece on the generally very ropey “job creation” figures when it comes to data centres.

Claiming antisemitism is a serious problem in Ireland, Martin and Harris cited an organisation accused of major factual distortions – and whose vice president, an ex-IDF general, had to cancel a trip to South Africa for fear of a war crimes arrest. www.ontheditch.com/martin-and-h...

Would be nice to hear the Minister speak as vehemently about his own portfolio, y'know housing! #spéirgorm www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

the Taoiseach claiming to be committed to the international rules-based order in one breath, then justifying the kidnapping of a head of state in the next (because he "caused" a lot of migration!?)

Legendary American comedian Jack Benny tells David Frost his week in Dublin at the Gaiety Theatre was one of the best of his 50-year career. Rather than elaborate on the shows, he shares an anecdote (at 5min 42sec) about meeting Irish President Éamon De Valera (1969) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq4L...

this paragraph is absolute horseshit 👇

I'm so sorry for those affected. This highlights why it is vital for Ireland to divest from our overreliance on US multinationals. They are not stable jobs. I can't help thinking about those who will lose their mortgage AIP now as a result. They're starting from scratch during a homeless crisis.

We're at 80.37%. C'mon Ireland. France is at 307%!! Where's your competitive spirit. This petition is the queen of petitions, 👸. I know you've signed a lot already, but don't skip this one by. It's got clout! #JusticeForPalestine #Speirgorm

"Millions of lives lost" "Why?" "Oh you know. Reasons"

Given our location and history, Ireland could be a superpower for peace and reconcilliaton - but there's no money in that for lobbyists and arms manufacturers, so we have to piss away our neutrality instead.

In honour of #HolocaustMemorialDay here is an extract from "A Sofa in the Forties" which Heaney read at a memorial service on this day in 2008. The poem is set during WW2 when Heaney and his siblings are playing, and imagining their sofa is a train. Original Post: Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again

We were only ones in room not being paid Only ones spending our time & money trying to end scourge of vacancy & dereliction Only ones who've spent best part of last 6 yrs working on this for free Yet we still get attacked every single day Me & @judesherry.bsky.social fight on with Dóchas🙏 #speirgorm

Well that didn't take very long. What a surprise.

INTO @intonews.bsky.social absolutely nails it with their latest InTouch magazine cover, leaving no doubt to where the blame lies. DO NOT PASS GO... DO NOT PLAN YOUR FUTURE #housingcrisis #speirGorm

Approximately 1.3 million people are currently without stable housing in #Europe. Yet, we still demolish existing buildings, when we could transform them into homes of tomorrow. #housingcrisis Sign the HouseEurope! petition: eci.ec.europa.eu/052/public/#...

In the last 24 hours the FGFF Irish govt have voted against a vacant house bill and have proposed a bill that would increase rent and make the #HousingCrisis even worse. I'd really love to know how the fuck people keeping voting them back in.

Why strengthen laws that are currently not being enforced anyway?

The Irish government aiding this is fucking unconscionable. Unforgiveable. History will remember this as Nazi collaboration, because that's what it is

Rare enough to see research into the experience and needs of older autistic people.

Haven't sent Traitors*, and not sure I could be bothered anyway, but is it too much to ask for a 'reality' show where winning is predicated on cooperation and community building? *Or indeed any of these circus events all the way back to Big Brother

ITS STILL HAPPENING 💀

This thread is a good example of how a certain, prominent take on Irish neutrality manages to completely ignore its relationship to international law and UN structures. Rather than speaking out in support of these institutions (as we have done historically), we are expected to choose sides.
