@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR 🏳️‍⚧️ www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

👀 Alex Vitale is a sociologist who wrote a very good book called The End of Policing.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Twitter exchanges

And so it begins: client with a stamp 4 and severe mental health issues which limit his ability to work, tells me he’s afraid to claim any benefits because of potential impact on his naturalisation application #speirghorm

A movie that takes place where you’re from

1. Family reunification is ALREADY limited to "close family" 2. Forcing people to avoid claiming benefits they are entitled to and need under threat of being refused citizenship is horrifically cruel. That was the policy under Michael McDowell and it caused great hardship to the most vulnerable.

I see when England sneezes the Irish government is still intent on Ireland catching a cold. Good to know they aren't even hiding the fact that our policies are still set by Westminster. By Farage at that. #SpéirGhorm #IrishPolitics

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

Counterpoint. Ireland needs more of most things and fewer David McWilliamses.

I would put it like this. Minority communities and the majority of the majority community have integrated v.well. However, a significant minority of the majority community and a significant majority of the political class are stubbornly refusing to integrate, and that is where the real problem lies.

I think every house in Ireland had a copy of this, including ours.

Do the people of Newham, Brent, Tower Hamlets, Haringey, Croydon etc get to have "Legitimate Concerns"? Or is that a privilege reserved just for the people who hate us?

Fuck me. 😬😬😬

Same. And other people online and off have said similar to me. It's quite a development.

One very quick thing the government could do to fill vacant posts in the health care sector is to STOP GIVING PEOPLE A STAMP 3 INSTEAD OF STAMP 4. It's absurd at a time of full employment that we are giving people the right to live here but not work #speirghorm www.independent.ie/irish-news/h...

"If it sounds like it's Nazi shit, it's supposed to. The bourgeois state and its political servants have for some time now been trying to get a bit of the glamour of fascism." [email protected] on Labour's asylum policy announcement:

This goes hard

I date all of this back to Three Lions and Skinner and fucking Baddiel. I knew letting the English feel hope would end badly.

I'd say "LOL. The best thing he's done in years," but his last proper album was pretty great.

I remember this. That fucker was second gen Irish as well I think. The neck.

> Undermine judicial reviews > Roll back planning regulations > Claim it's to deliver housing > Fast track a bunch of data centres > AI bubble pops > Left holding the bag > Still no housing delivered We all know this is how Ireland's new "housing plan" is gonna go right

A great time to remind everyone that the largest landlord in the Gaeltacht is now a British company letting Airbnbs.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Football’s coming Heim.

if i worked at RTÉ and there was a big soccer match on after a big rugby match as is the case this weekend i would break into the room where they make the pre-game packages and i would overdub it so starts with my voice saying 'and now for soccer, the sports that matters'

Sabrina is even more popular than The Beatles now.

Here’s a guy who ACTUALLY protected women and children

to drop the kayfabe, the epstein emails are so horrifying and the participants so ghoulishly open and celebratory about raping children that i don’t know how to grapple with it they’re not hiding it. they consider what they’re doing so easy, the young women so disposable. it’s a big joke to them.

Ireland, take note #SpéirGorm

New Christy box in Finglas village.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Bill Clinton's dick is the lament configuration that has cursed american politics for the entirety of my lifetime

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Lifelong cultural Catholics: yeah I noticed the Holy See was a shitshow when I was like seven so I'm lapsed but I try to maintain the "good works" thing, that made sense, it's more of a lifestyle now Recent converts: THE POWER OF OUR LADY OF THE SEVEN SORROWS FLOWS THROUGH ME I AM THE BURNING HEART

Bluesky is terrible. But at least until now I don't leave the site feeling more stupid than I did when I clicked on it, which is my predominant experience with Threads

These will be perfect for me. I only send cards to a select few so these are like a card and a wee gift in one.

A spokesperson for Bill Clinton has confirmed that President Trump did indeed give him head. Remarkable story.
