bile & vape, all we leave behind

I’m writing an article on baptisms and looking to speak to parents in Ireland who’ve been conflicted on the act or even disagreed with their partner/co-parent on whether they should baptise their child. Let me me know if that’s you or someone you know. Can grant anonymity if necessary

Hahaha

Priest: "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Micheál Martin: "Let's not jump into a kneejerk response here, in terms of falling in love. There are many factors, elements even, to consider, in terms of commitment, loyalty, the willingness to share a life, in terms of marriage."

Not a motorist, but it must feel class to whip the steering wheel around with the one open palm. No wonder they do be cleaning the cyclists out of it

But yeah they're going to get around to the Occupied Territories Bill any day now. They're delaying it or kicking the can down the road, their lying about their intention to enact it

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

#speirghorm can also pressure the Taoiseach to boycott the White House for St Patrick’s Day. He won’t, but do it anyway.

It's just another hypocrisy but it is depressing that after years of being told by politicians that video games caused violence that they obviously didn't mind this kind of violence.

Fianna Fáil will *never* fall far enough in the polls. (I once posted something like this on twitter. It was screenshot and sent into the local FF WhatsApp group. My role at the time was dependent on discretionary council funding. I got calls from the two local FF councillors threatening my job.)

For once I just want us to do the right thing instead of worrying about fucking corporation tax or whatever the fuck. It shouldn’t be this hard.

The best time to get the US Military out of Shannon Airport was 20 fucking years ago. The next best time is now.

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

This is fucking gross

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Clarissa explains it all to the DHS Instagram account

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

nintendo wii gordon ramsay can't hurt you

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

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

executions in the street.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

i do not know how this goes on for three more years

A senior paediatrician has warned against any potential move by the Department of Health to cut the new RSV immunisation programme for infants after it was found to not be cost effective. jrnl.ie/6936353

ICE agents, on a fundamental level, do not deserve to live

BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident. ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Unreal sized crowd for the There Is No Ceasefire @ipsc.bsky.social Dublin Regional March. Considering it's a rainy January I'm so impressed with the passion that people have #Speirgorm

This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future. A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

I'll be at this, and you should come too!

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Not surprising that a minister in this lazy government thinks that the solution to a complex problem is to force cyclists to wear magic clothes so he doesn't have to contemplate all the other, far more effective, measures. @davewalker.bsky.social

Government announce it will be illegal to generate CSAM on X if you're not wearing a helmet

"in most cases, these videos appear to have been filmed secretly - using Meta smart glasses." Argh for the love of god BAN. THE. PERVERT GLASSES.

Lol hashtag buy a paper

The peak of Facebook was in like 2011 when you could join a private group called “people named Matt Ward” and one of the Matts would periodically comment “what’s up Matt Ward” and get like 30 “what’s up Matt Wards” in reply. that was the top.

*duck meme* Which World War II military apparel, New York Times?

I think i heard there are 90 people who can play the pipes at a expert level, I dont think any of them should spend their precious time and abilty on this.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

I was grateful to be given a lot of time and space to go off on my push for intentional tech use, returning to being active and not passive users, in this segment with Laura Fox. If you're thinking of dumping devices or platforms, try listening to this first: www.rte.ie/radio/2fm/cl...

"The Voice of Hind Rajab" has been nominated for an Oscar for Best International Feature Film. The docudrama from Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania tells the story of five-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces during the ongoing genocide in Gaza in January 2024.

Big Jim saying it's already illegal to sell nitrous oxide for human consumption, as if the DPP would go after Amazon for letting teens order canisters of brain damage online. he's such a shit
