Bandcamp is pretty good for connecting with fans who want to support musicians. But if you want your tracks to reach people who actively dislike musicians, then you need to get your music on Spotify as well.

I haven't done a deep dive for Irish connections in the newest Epstein materials, but this is from an email the late golf course developer Jerry Barton – developer of Doonbeg – sent to Epstein with subject line "My Extraordinarily Talented, Outrageous Friend"

Anyone know if DHL express will deliver on the same day you pay a customs charge?

O'Callaghan and Fianna Fáil are aligning themselves with the absolute worst people and politics in Europe, and journalists need to start asking them about it. To date, I have seen little evidence that Irish media is prepared to meet this moment, and I fear the worst.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Once again, if you believe that FF&FG would only love to give us a well-resourced, world beating welfare state but it’s just those pesky immigrants won’t let them, you are a gobshite. You have a loyalty card with your local bridge salesman. You were, in fact, born yesterday.

I think all my old mates emigrating because there were no jobs between 2008-2014, and then most of my new mates emigrating between 2018-2025 because there are no gaffs, has had a greater effect on social cohesion than migrants

Jim O'Callaghan is a threat to social cohesion.

Let's see how services will do after Jim has succeeded in scaring nurses away from the country, because his party would rather die than build a house they haven't first received a bribe from a developer for.

Scientists now believe that the human brain--a magic goo for worrying--can also be used to do other things

Suddenly and randomly having thousands of people listen to Ciara Kelly on the way home *from* work instead of listening to her on the way *into* work seems like the kind of social experiment you should be forced to justify to an ethics committee first.

Seems unfair to single out this man for taking money, meant to address the housing difficulties caused by his party, and spending it on crack instead, when every single one of the housing policies advanced by the current government have all the hallmarks of having been sucked out of a crackpipe too.

This would do more to damage the Brits than the mainland bombing campaign ever achieved.

The word "faoileánach" is Irish for "a place frequented by seagulls.

Our revenge will be the laughter of our adult children hearing that the Brits have asked McWilliams how to fix a housing crisis.

All-timer

"The British empire invented and commited crimes so heinous people had to invent new words for them" is a surprisingly large category 👀

a new study finds that there is enough microplastic in your nads to make a little army guy. whats worse is that its the guy with the radio so he doesnt even have a gun. and he has a bunch of extra plastic along the seam on the bottom so he keeps falling over.

Meanwhile when the Sisters of Our Lady Of Charity kindly handed the former Magdalene Laundry on Sean McDermott St back to the State, they hung on to the car park, so they will financially benefit from whatever memorial is eventually put there to the women they enslaved.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

bluesky mods retire bitch

This is the first one of these debates I've watched and my god what depravity. How do you people live like this. #speirgorm

My garda neighbor told me rioters keep burning his vans so I asked how many vans he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new van afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding vans to rioters and then his daughter started crying.

The Guards have been treating the far right with kid gloves for years now and therefore are woefully unprepared to deal with them when they turn against them

how do you know something isn't a crime if you don't investigate it. why didn't this decision come after a court threw out their spurious case against Mo Chara, which they are now appealing? also, why is the world such bullshit nowadays

Regardless of your stance on foxhunting and hare coursing, whoever is sending Humphreys out with that "They're rural pursuits, they have rules" stock answer is failing at their job, and so every journalist who doesn't follow it up with "why is cockfighting illegal then?" is failing at theirs.

Putting aside the thorny question of whether prison sentences have any rehabilitative effect (clearly the state doesn't believe this when it suits it) it's interesting Ray Burke, Ivory Callely, Ned O'Keeffe etc etc aren't mentioned in the brief list of examples of Oireachtas members who served time.

All the lads who spent the week screaming about a vote for Catherine Connolly putting us all at a grave risk of drone attacks from state actors seem to be eerily quiet this morning. m.independent.ie/irish-news/a...

A mad little story of brazen food PR nonsense, and a wider indictment of media context collapse in Ireland and everywhere else. Excellent work by @allthefood.bsky.social

Every day till election day is going to consist of journalists reporting on Catherine Connolly saying something eminently sensible that everyone you know agrees with instinctively and pretending that it's an absolute bombshell that should instantly disqualify her.

As I always say a "technicality" is the word you use for a bit of law you don't like.

Now the entire establishment media can get together to try to ratfuck Catherine Connolly on behalf of Jim Gavin

Committed Catholic pulls out.

In which Stephen Collins wakes up in the middle of the night, slips on his bathroom floor, and forgets that Catherine Connolly was ever the Leas Ceann Comhairle. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Back in the day, Rush Limbaugh would read names of gay men who died of AIDS while playing circus music.

Pulling into Eoin Hayes Plaza for a quick bite in Supermac's and a wee stretch of the legs.

The Social Democrats, being a new party, have clearly yet to learn the necessary skills for a proper cover-up.

Insanely curious to see the photos of Eoin Hayes because he looks absolutely nothing like Barack Obama without the makeup.

Sarah Louise Mulligan just said, "I stand with Elon Musk" while making a presidential nomination pitch to DCC.

When I say AI is a fascist technology, this is what I mean: a spectacular assault on the idea that true things can be known

Have we considered the possibility McGregor is just singularly unequipped to participate in contests with rules more complicated than "no biting"?

"Our situation with the tricolour is deeply worrying, but it’s a mere symptom of a much larger sickness caused by greed and policy decisions." @earley.bsky.social 🎯💯 as usual

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

Has Charlie Kirk died here too yet?

Graham Linehan won't see your body shaming jokes but your friends with a giant, stupid-looking head will.

'Sitting on the sidelines, cribbing and moaning is a lost opportunity. I don't know how people who engage in that don't commit suicide because frankly the only thing that motivates me is being able to actively change something!'
