When our daily news is dominated by truly awful people like Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu, it's easy to forget that there are still some truly decent, honourable people in the world. Here's a reminder of one of them: Finbarr Archer. 👏👏👏 #Speirgorm www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Loved The Wedding Present 40th Anniv gig in @dolanslimerick.bsky.social last night. Not a fan, but went thinking there'd be a nice nostalgic 80s vibe. I was BLOWN AWAY by this band. So, so energetic. So tight. Rachel Wood is the most amazing guitarist. David Gedge - constant member - now 65?! Wow.👏

“I Will Return In Seven Of Your Years” Maria Steen Bids Farewell Before Entering Portal Back To 1954 https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2025/09/26/i-will-return-in-seven-of-your-years-maria-steen-bids-farewell-before-entering-portal-back-to-1954/

Great to see government departments moving to BlueSky #speirgorm

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

A Gazan doctor evacuated to Ireland says Gaza has been “destroyed socially and psychologically”. Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaisib is the former Deputy Medical Co-ordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Gaza. www.independent.ie/irish-news/i... #spéirghorm

Tickets for A Night for Palestine with Amble & Special Guests in the INEC Killarney are on sale now (and almost gone already) - all proceeds go directly to ACLAÍ Palestine and food parcel distribution for displaced families in Gaza. Get the last few here: www.ticketmaster.ie/a-night-for-...

In fairness to Maria Steen it's a tough tightrope to walk to find nominees who hate women enough to support the Iona Institute but not so much that they wouldn't nominate one.

Claudia Cardinale se baladant dans Paris. 1961. RIP

Some of us do.

They've known it for years.

Trump goes full Great Replacement at the UN - this is the most mind-bogglingly racist thing a leader for a super-power has done in modern times.

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

Congratulations to the control box at the UN's media centre. That shot of Trump's senior team, locked in different frozen expression masks, while he spews climate change denial and white replacement theory is just amazing.

Lads. Trump speaking at the UN right now. Deranged gibberish. How on earth do the British reply to this insanity/these lies?!

UNREAL!!!!

On this day in 1974 the BBC launched Ceefax, the world's first teletext service using unused lines in the television signal to transmit news and other information that viewers could access on demand. The technology was developed by BBC engineers Geoff Larkby and Barry Pyatt in the late 1960s

A timeline cleanser for your Sunday. 15 seconds of the "sounds of the sea" today at Doughmore Beach, Co Clare. I wish I could share the sea air too!

Dutch late night TV has its take

This is a great cover.

#Gaza is not just facing a humanitarian catastrophe. It is facing the systematic destruction of a people. Doctors in Gaza know they cannot stop a genocide. But world leaders can, if they choose to act: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-do...

Abso-bloody-lutely.

That so many people were and are stupid enough to believe in the right-wing free speech grift and "cancel culture" panic does not bode well for the future of either humanity or democracy. We are the meteorite that will eventually wipe us out.

Lorcan Sirr: Dublin is becoming a place of extremes, home to only the very richest and the poorest

One by one, Trump is forcing the cancellation of his critics late night talk shows. US corporate owned media is a disgrace for giving in to him. The tyranny is deepening with every successive phase of silencing dissent. It is chilling. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

On top of their genocidal crimes against humanity, this is a crime against our shared human culture and history. Shame on Israel.

Whichever one gets the position they will never match this man

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Robert Redford, actor & director, RIP. The beautiful ending to the beautiful film "A River Runs Through It", with narration by (the film's director), Robert Redford. youtu.be/OsDnrFBpsBk?...

Today is the day of the special election to fill the seat of former MN State Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot by a right-wing extremist.

in fairness to Micheál, he’s only been in government for the last five years. and only part of confidence and supply for the four years before that. and of course he was only part of the government that precipitated the economic conditions we face now for about 13 years. and before that he was only–

Any vintage stereo lovers out there in the #spéirgorm world? I'm trying to find a home for a 1960s Murphy stereogram, preference is to donate it to a non-profit org with an interest in restoring or preserving them. Electronics need some work but it's in great nick cosmetically. Reposts appreciated

Can somebody (maybe on #speirgorm) tell me how long is left in this run of #TraitorsIrl on tv? My (Irish) Bluesky feed is about 70% Traitors-related at the moment (no exaggeration), which is really annoying for someone who is not watching. Also, how many nights pw is the thing on? Seems like a lot!

Democrats in the US should talk to their Hungarian counterparts. The Republicans certainly have been.

I'm sure I must've missed some rainbows on this showery/sunshiny September day, but the lovely light this afternoon was still something. ( #speirgorm not so "gorm", but "moody", maybe.)

Hey look, the thing that has been warned about for years but dismissed as would never happen is happening.
