Not that we would ever respect a yank who can't differentiate not supporting genocide vs antisemitism but us being pro Russia is laughable. Fake news might be the norm for Americans but we look at facts in Ireland #speirgorm.

Crazy how a face like that and a name like Alexander McCartney will protect you from the fash brigades violence It was never about protecting women and children. It was never about rape or the victims. It is and always was about race. #speirgorm

The lack of white riots to 'protect children' were notable by their absence. #SpéirGhorm

Michael D’s farewell message do muintir na hÉireann #Spéirghorm www.instagram.com/reel/DQ4eEOL...

Mortimer and Whitehouse both do a great Sting impression. #gonefishing

Great to see #RickBeato in #dublin tonight. Lovely evening of chat and music. #SpeirGorm

Remember all, Donkey Ganley cried foul for Steen. #SpeirGorm

This is as brilliant as she is. Have just spent the last three days with @kathyburke.bsky.social in my ears listening to her reading her unmissable memoir. Talent ahoy

Huge thanks to Lighthouse Cinema for inviting us to have a solidarity stall at the screening of Annemarie Jacir's new film, Palestine 36 this evening. It was introduced by Liam Cunningham who also stars in the film and runs next week. Tickets: #FreePalestine www.lighthousecinema.ie/film/palesti...

@gattllc.com must be the best follow in a long time.

Jesus christ but KD Lang has the most amazing voice and does some serious credit to this song. Another fabulous #Canadian and holy fuck but I could cry. #speirgorm youtu.be/JNbnFVBVnz0?...

I feel so unrepresented. #aras25 #donkeyganley

Remarkable result; turnout was higher than last Presidential election. Media deciding that the story is Declan G, Maria S or any other wannabes who didn't get their act together and persuade people to nominate them needs to look at the high spending machine that was behind Heather H #Spéirghorm

Fantastic on-the-nose piece about the post election moral panic by the self-reportedly disenfranchised yet, permanently represented in mainstream media shower of lazy whingebags.

Christo-fascists were deeply concerned by Ireland not wanting any part of christo-fascism. Time travel to the 1950s underfunded, no doubt.

Just a heads up for the man-baby Donkey Ganley and his relentless whinge about representation.

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest. #Aras25 #Speirgorm

Final result of #aras25: Electorate: 3,614,450 Votes cast: 1,656,436 (45.8%) Spoilt: 213,738 (12.9%) Valid poll: 1,442,698 Connolly: 914,143 (63.3%) Humphreys: 424,987 (29.5%) Gavin: 103,568 (7.2%) Catherine Connolly is elected the tenth President of Ireland.

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

But but but, the Irish people didn't get offered the options that I, as a donkey, think everyone should adopt. Ave Maria and spoil your vote. #aras25

Fine concession speech from HH in fairness to her. Donkey Ganley and his crybaby whinging about lefties and not accepting of the democratic process is no surprise. Whilst a spoilt vote is a right, a campaign to spoil is despicable.#aras25

🚨 Aggregate of national #aras25 tallies (albeit only partial in some constituencies): Catherine Connolly 63% Heather Humphreys 30% Jim Gavin 7% Roughly 13% of votes nationwide are spoiled/invalid @virginmedianews.bsky.social

This is the rage of the far right-in a spoiled ballot paper. Complaining about rape while nominating a man found liable for rape.So it’s not about rape at all, it’s about racism and misogyny-& homo/trans phobia in support of she of the holy handbag who is conveniently anti LGBTI - #aras25 #speirgorm

Disingenuous moral panic about social media from #michaelring on #brendanoconnor when #FG specifically went down than particular gutter. Sour grapes an awful thing.

Psepsepseology is the study of attracting cats

Thank god for a reliable explanation. Cut and paste not working, and my head doesn't retain words starting with pse.

On the night we elect his successor, this man, this artist, is in my thoughts. What service he has given us. Not only as President but as our first Minister for the Arts. This photo I took on Inis Oirr in 2021 is one of my most treasured. Go raibh maith aige. #Aras25

Dec 1918 G Grandmother brought my 6 yr old Nan to the Polling Station on the great occasion of, some, women getting the vote. The vote was overwhelmingly for Sinn Féin. Support for Irish Independence was broadcast loud and clear. 1922 All women had the vote. #SpéirGhorm VOTING MATTERS.

Vote, vote, vote #connolly4president #aras2025 #speirgorm

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/w... Bodies of Palestinians - unnamed and unknown - 'returned' by Israel with clear evidence of torture and trauma - the scale of this and the lack of international attention to it - well done to @nytimes.com team for documenting -#giftarticle - essential reading

#speirgorm No doubt some of those rock throwing van burning horse riders in #CityWest would just consider it to be just a #ruralpursuit. *sigh*

Tis now.

God almighty...do yiz not understand what I meant to say? Not what I thought and said.

Some personal news. Our youngest has released a song he wrote, performed and produced, on Spotify this morning. Any listens or promotes would be much appreciated. open.spotify.com/album/2TPUzx...

A campaign to spoil a vote led by the renowned donkey, Ganley. A man so fucking aggrieved by not being able to use Steen to degrade all our rights and bring us back to a 1950s hellhole Ireland. He is a pathetic whingey dimwit who really should fuck right off to the 1950s. If only. #speirgorm

Rory Gallagher’s legendary 1961 Fender Stratocaster will go on public display tomorrow, October 16, at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks. rorygallagher.com/rory-gallagh...

A little thread 🧵 to the strange "EAT CROW!" crowd, who seem to think every person left of Genghis Khan is incapable of giving credit to Trump and direct much of their triumphalism to this fictional group: Most people I know, who are critical of Trump, have given him credit for getting us here. 1/

That’s how to deal with him (& Bondi & Noem & the rest of those who respond with such obnoxious arrogance & non-answers).

Interesting how he never mentioned it to anyone. Maybe he thought nobody would notice

Heather Humphreys looking as presidential as Ivan Yates. Her brother? #aras25

Oh god almighty. All the class of a spoilt 4 year old.

#cardinalblack and #chrisbuck sounding fantastic in #dublin tonight.

Greta Thunberg: "I will never, ever comprehend how humans can be so evil that you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades [..] of suffocating oppression, apartheid, occupation." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Incarceration #Genocide

This is America ....a woman, a mother dragged out and pinned to the ground, in front of a school, by a gang of masked thugs empowered by a leader lusting after a peace prize. #America what have you become?

Brilliantly, @iamreddave.bsky.social points out that the law doesn’t allow for withdrawal of a presidential candidate after nominations have closed. Section 30(1), Presidential Elections Act, 1993 www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1993/act...

"may withdraw his candidature at any time before the completion of the ruling on nominations but not thereafter." www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1993/act... But I'm no lawyer #galvin #presidentirl
