This is the video.

Looking to hear from a wide range of voices of people who all agree with me for a piece that I’m writing about diversity for this weekend’s Sunday Independent. #JournoRequest

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

ICE are murderers

Hi @ Grok, Please do not edit any photos of me or authorise any third party to use them. Also, do you know where I left my wallet? I last had it in Central in Phibsborough. Will you call them and check. Wait no. It’s here in my jacket pocket. So just the photo stuff for now. Where are my keys?

Of course using Grok to generate sexual images is wrong. But it might also be a cry for help from marginalised young men | someone in the New York Times shortly

I’m speaking at the #HandsOffTheBallymunPartOfGlasnevinThatIsCloserToTheCabraPartOfFinglas Rally later. See you outside the Slipper at 7:30pm!

Yup, Ballymun

Waking up to the news that Finglas East invaded Cabra West overnight and kidnapped the Statue of Mary from the Roundabout. This world!

What if all those Scam 0044 calls from a “recruitment agency” were actually from a recruitment agency looking for the next, next and next Manchester United manager?

The Department lists out a bunch of things that X dot com’s Grok is doing and says that each of them is illegal. So asking the AG to see if there are more ways it could be illegal just seems like a delaying tactic to actually doing something.

RTE are 36hrs away from announcing that Dermot Bannon, Garron Noone and Karl Deeter are hosting a buddy docua-comedy series called “Acquiring Greenland”

Colombian journalist with el Pais, Nicholas Dale Leal is under no illusion as to why Trump wants to get rid of Petro. He also thinks that the American president is full of shit. I shockingly agree. Full video podcast here: www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

Talk about putting your thumb on the scales. "I have decided that I will make Regulations, the record purpose of which is to reduce the number of cases taken against me. No, not by making fewer mistakes, you idiot. By making suing me illegal."

In what world does this make sense? You win ur court case but are left with a huge legal bill for highlighting errors in a decision of a public body. That's what our Gov want with new changes on cost rules in #JudicialReview #JR 🎬 @tonygroves.bsky.social @fplogue.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3cyhujzw

Homelessness is Government policy

@fplogue.bsky.social telling it like it is. 'If these new cost rules get over the line, if you were to go to court and you win your case, it will still cost you hundreds of thousands of euros to correct a legal error made by a public body. And that’s just not fair, and it’s not affordable.'

Fred (the Divil himself) rejoined me to talk access to justice and how if the government gets its way (in breach of EU law) it’ll become the plaything of the already privileged. Listen 👇 podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...

The Government Do Not Want To Hear From You! @fplogue.bsky.social on the shack open.spotify.com/episode/1AsR...

Colombian journalist with el Pais, Nicholas Dale Leal rejoins us on the tortoise shack shortly. I just wish there was something to talk about… #TrumpVsPetro out soon for subscribers

First swim of 2026.

So let's be clear and honest on the scope and scale of what has to be done here. This cannot only be about cracking down on a few porn apps; this has to be a large scale effort to bring the tech industry to heel. And I'm not sure advocacy groups have really internalised that

Only January 6th and I’ve already broken my #NewYearsResolution* *I had resolved not to put everyone who goes on about Hyrox on my list for smiting.

Trump is going to make Machado head of FIFA. As a little treat.

Working on a report on how to oppose hegemonic imperialism by opposing and exposing those who oppose hegemonic imperialism. Fingers crossed this’ll get me back on the tele.

I am not a fan of newspaper columnists; left and right they’re almost all bad-blogger-stale and thinking captured. But I am a Jenny super fan. Dammit. Sometimes the messenger even makes me partially respect the medium.

Might fuck around and annex cork.

Looking forward to listening to this podcast with @tonygroves.bsky.social and @fplogue.bsky.social on the Government's assault on the #ScalesOfJustice in Ireland. 👏 to Tony as always for shining a light in ghus further attack on #AccessToJustice #PublicAccountability #Environment #HumanRights

New Access to Justice podcast just dropped. Accusing @fplogue.bsky.social of being the devil at the outset is yet another example of why laughing at your own jokes should be made a crime. Full podcast here: www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

The role of responsible media is to call for restraint from the public who irresponsibly want world leaders to do more than just call for restraint | the Irish Times view on the need now more than ever for the media to speak power to truth

I’m the most-read piece on independent dot i e, ahead of Fionnan Sheahan’s piece on how @paulmurphy.pbp.ie and the Jobstown protesters led to the fall of Maduro. Link 👇

It’s okay not to be okay. Okay. Thank you, that’ll be €200. And post. Sorry, thought I was on instagram

Interesting thread. Fred will be back on the Shack soon. Out ASAP.

Imagine being so mentally broken that you actually wanted to hear Ed Sheeran.

Literally not one word of reflection on what caused the party to lose all those seats in this interview.

First book of 2026: Gilded Rage by @jacobsilverman.com. Highly recommend and as someone who considers themselves as well up on the tech-fash/vc fash curious community, this is a brilliant, informative and infuriating read.

Banging this drum since 2023:

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Did Catherine Connolly’s scurrilous accusation that the US “cannot be trusted” make the US act in an untrustworthy way? Probably not. But it’s fair game to suggest that it did | latest by me in today’s Sunday Independent

People who don’t know that cork is one of the six counties of Northern Ireland, yet are experts in the geopolitics of Latin America. Them people.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but remember that you can be whatever you want to be. Hard work , dedication and then adding it to your instagram bio and KABOOM, another dream fulfilled.

Imagine if your house was burgled and you had to pay €100,000 to bring the perpetrator to justice. Nobody would think this is right. This is exactly what the state wants to do when it breaks the law relating to the environment. If you think this is unfair or wrong then read on ⬇

Whenever I hear someone say “the noisy minority,” I think they’re referring to straight white men with podcasts, and I think that’s beautiful.
