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!'

Jet fuel doesn't melt steel teens

Desperately trying to flush my hardback copy of Intermezzo down the toilet as the police kick in my front door

Jail for a million years if you pick up a seal pup for a selfie.

Did you know: living near a golf course increases the likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease by around 126%, due to the massive quantities of herbicides and pesticides used? We need to start talking about these ecological death zones, which already cover over 20k acres in Ireland.

Gareth Sheridan is amazing, haven't seen a launch like that since the Challenger

We need to do something about this. Very urgently. Ireland can not be a party to genocide. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Every single one of the loudest voices clamouring for Ireland to buy warplanes and tanks to stave off Putin would be sitting around a table in Farmleigh toasting "our shared island" with a load of Russian generals five days after they invaded.

Spun his military service off into a career in politics, ran for election in the county with the big army barracks with all the soldiers and the horses, and couldn't even get reelected there, but because he wants to spend your money on fighter jets and bombs we're stuck with him forever it seems.

Some lucky sub will have the honour of being the person who crafts the inevitable "Flatley taps out of campaign" headline, which will somehow be funnier than the "Mcgregor taps out" one. m.independent.ie/irish-news/m...

Can exclusively report that France is still an absolute top-tier manufacturer of people who look extremely fucking French.

The Sex Workers Alliance Ireland (SWAI) is in immediate danger of closing due to lack of funding. SWAI is running on fumes at the moment. Thanks to your support and the generous donors to our crowdfund, we have been able to continue operating until now.

Another case of copying decades old failed policies from Britain and thinking the results will be different.

Finally, an adult in the room! Although I doubt that was a phrase much used on the island of Little Saint James, where Mr Dershowitz was a frequent visitor. www.newstalk.com/news/oj-simp...

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at a headline.

The British Left party? We've been planning one of those for longer than Corbyn has.

Blondie - Heart Of Glass. Every nerd knows the rhythm is a mix of live drums & CR78 drum machine. I took out the live drums & replaced them with a TR606. It's Debbie Harry's 80th birthday today - I added some clips of her lovely face instead of my stupid head 🥳

Centrists being more irked by Paul Murphy marching towards Rafah than fascists matching in Ireland shows you exactly the direction they always break

@jaseomcn.bsky.social Do you have that picture you drew ranking the various taoisigh in terms of their reaction to the kids in the back of the car demanding McDonald's?
