Hmmm, Kunny Cenningham appaers to be a cent. #speirgorm

Remember folks, if buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft.

I preferred it back in the old days when, if you bought something, you owned it, and if somebody took it off you, that was a crime.

Always buy your own physical media.

Imagine a politician working for you rather than against. #speirgorm

I bet he still couldn't find it.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Imagine saying unprecedented when 250 years ago to the month the British were gathering the largest expeditionary force ever sent across the Atlantic to violently throttle the USA in its first summer of its life.

One of the hardest things to get your head around if you're Irish and you move here is the reverence for the armed forces. The hush when some boozy old general turns up on Today to demand more weapons.... it's like church in Ireland of yore.

“my passion is graphic design”

In Pubs for the People there is a photo of my Dad, guiness t-shirt on shaking Patrick Hilary's hand, which Dad captions, 'the president of the sikh guiness assocation meets the president of ireland'

Let me make it really simple. This is Air Conditioning for the entire world. Which IS the solution. (Picture from China)

Is this more Éire conditioning discourse?

@gardai.bsky.social working for vulture funds now? To evict a special needs person from their home of 20 years.

@dublincityuni.bsky.social and are you aware of the post on Twitter by one of your lecturers directed to terminally-ill Irish athlete Ciara Mageean purely because she is speaking out about genocide? Any comment?

For the 1976-ers lurking on this platform… #ClimateChange #Heatwave

“You will not colonise our flag” Good point made by former President Mary McAleese when she noted: Mrs McAleese compared people who use the Irish flag to intimidate and say "Ireland for the Irish", to the "no Irish need apply" signs in the UK and the US. "Do they know nothing about our history as…

"It's very easy to be wise after the event," say the people who were warned incessantly before the event.

How much longer will the Nagelsmann myth continue, I wonder? #ECUGER #WC2026 #WorldCup

should have just had the whole thing in mexico

Every day I find a new person that I'd sentence to a month living with the Burkes for being such a genuine gobshite and not feel a moment's guilt over it. #spéirghorm

Mit diesen Defensivleistungen brauchst du gegen Frankreich gar nicht erst antreten. Gegen Norwegen aber auch nicht. #ECUGER

Spicebag told us..

Europe: "we're suffering from bad weather" Americans: "have you tried buying things?"

Ian Óg being as crooked as the road to Benburb is not news to anyone. That his grasping would include using a rape victim for a stepping stone is a new low even by his own miserable standards. It's a real stick in the spokes for the growing DUP narrative that they simply could not have known

The individual Mr Paisley was referring to was not one of the two victims in Donaldson's trial. The Belfast Telegraph's source brought this to the police two years ago. Neither the PSNI nor the former North Antrim MP will clarify the situation.

An additional victim, a report that went nowhere, colleagues perpetuating a cover up...needs a full public inquiry because the drip drip of information is turning this into political drama rather than a story about a predatory paedophile protected by people in power

Giving a rapist copy control - they’re no journalists or editors

Just popped in to say that the reason Conor McGr*gor is not being asked about being found civilly liable for the rape of Nikita Hand during his current PR/redemption tour is because not doing so is a pre-condition of getting an interview with him that "journalists" are accepting. 👍

New record high temperatures year in, year out and the same people keep saying the climate warnings are scaremongering. Never will the boiling frog analogy be so perfect as when these people are on fire saying “it’s just summer”

Need a new law where Ian Betteridge contacts you personally and tells you to evaluate your life choices

😂 Morning all. ☀️🔥💙

100-year-old government acknowledges it doesn't know how to solve a decades-old problem it created.

Yep sometimes learning something new can be troubling, but your supposed to process this new information and adjust your outlook accordingly, not just stick your fingers in your ears and go with your feelings

A short story

GENEVA – Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip and war crimes in the West Bank, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry said in a new report this week.

If Minister Browne is appalled by genocide I have great news for him about a bill he can finally support... #Spéirgorm

A reminder that when politicians say that stripping away online anonymity would stop people from posting bad comments, that Facebook stands as a counterpoint to that proposal.

my wife will today pop into the driving licence centre IN PERSON to get a new licence because she doesn't have a publc services card. As primary ID she'll use the passport she renewed online after uploading a photo with no card or in person visit required.

Tech CEOs in 2026: ‘We spent billions to hopefully one day have an ai that can make people feel like it’s portraying real emotions for tv, but we need way more money to do it’ Jim Henson in 1955: ‘yeah so I stuck some ping pong balls to a bit of old felt and called it Kermit’

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

Thanks to the Disclosures Tribunal we also know this happens in Ireland. www.thesun.ie/news/1605503...

Just to explicitly say: The Minister has forced through a law which is in direct contravention with the AI Act, justifying it with a transparent piece of undergraduate sophistry, blustered out without any attempt to persuade. This is not an action any serious Justice Minister would take.

Anti-semitism is absolutely a real thing and as a Jew I am deeply nervous about the worst faith people in public life working relentlessly to rob the concept of all gravity by making it synonymous with "anyone not fully supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu and everything he does."

'I don’t understand a world where the consequences of speaking out against a genocide seem worse than the consequences for the people actually enacting a genocide' - Ciara Mageean
