I guarantee all of this nonsense was about getting her set up to be selected as a Senator.

YOU need things explained to you a certain way. YOU need your feelings managed. YOU need people to make eye contact with you when they talk, or you feel uncomfortable. YOU need people to read subtext so you don't have to say the quiet part. Those are YOUR needs and I try to meet them every day.

A statement of fact – that Hamas exists and is embedded in Palestinian society – and a straightforward condemnation of western intervention angered a class that’s never served Irish sovereignty, let alone Palestinian humanity Catherine Connolly was right www.ontheditch.com/catherine-co...

This pair look like the villains in a movie where the hero is a dog.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

The quotes here, at their most generous, are praise so faint they are almost incorporeal. And those are from FF sources.

It's certainly a choice to write an article that ends by decrying the rising political violence in the USA without once mentioning that Charlie Kirk was responsible for a lot of it.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Remember if you work in a school: don't be a scab. That means do not do the work of secretaries and caretakers. Don't answer the office phone. Don't take out the rubbish. They may seem like small actions but they undermine the strikes. Yes the schools won't be able to function, that's the point.

If Bertie Ahern had any humanity he would be too ashamed to ever show his face in public again, nevermind run for President. #speirgorm

It makes sense that someone from Cork will be the first Irish person to need to be told "Sir, this is a Wendy's..."

I delivered the 700 page business case and cost benefit analysis for MetroLink to Michael O'Leary's office yesterday. O'Leary said on RTÉ Radio that there’s been no cost-benefit analysis done on Metrolink which was then repeated on multiple news outlets.

A penguin jumped on this boat to escape a seal, so they took him to the iceberg where his friends were waiting for him.

Does anyone have an archived copy or screenshots of Ana Valens' article on Collective Shout? The one that was removed from Vice. All the archive links I can find for it aren't working.

These are government choices, and they are choosing data centres over homes in the middle of a housing crisis. #HousingCrisisByDesign #SpéirGorm

Texas in 2 weeks! Just got my holiday approval. Taking advantage of the free flights I get through my brother to go see My Chemical Romance. Please send me suggestions for fun stuff around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I'll have a couple days there either side of the concert.

A huge wool map of Ireland, which took four years of knitting and crocheting to complete, is in search of a new home to go on public display.
