Maybe true radicalism in 21st century Ireland consists of rejecting the idea that making a profit is sacrosanct. Which has the same kind of grip on the country that Catholic moralism had decades ago. It's the official creed, so prevalent it's regarded as the only natural state.

Anyone else here #scunnered listening to east coasters whining about rain we put up with all the time in the North and West? Throw on yer big coat and get on with it! #speirgorm

How quickly some have forgotten: No Irish No Blacks No Dogs. We say: No Trump, No ICE, No White House Shamrock. #trump #eu #ICE #ForTheLoveOfDublin

I'd say Pritzger, governor of Illinois is a better bet.

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X. The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour. In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

I've signed this petition calling for the government to shut down X for producing sexual abuse images. Will you do the same? my.uplift.ie/petitions/sh... @uplift.ie

Hi, I've just shut my account on X. Hopefully a less toxic experience awaits here....

If you want #ICEOUT, boycott them and their families. Picket their homes and where they stay while on duty. Do not do business with those who serve them. Render them, their spouses, children and relatives no help or assistance of any kind. Only united communities can defeat fascism. No pasarán.

Irish government is blocking these children's visas. #LetThemPlay #GaaPalestine my.uplift.ie/petitions/le... @uplift.ie

Away and shite is a brilliant Irish expression. We should use it more.

I think there should be a separate programme for Saturday’s GAA matches, instead of trying to cram all the highlights into the Sunday Game programme on Sunday night. There’s just too many games to properly analyse and show all the highlights. #TheSundayGame #GAA #speirgorm

I've just signed this petition protesting Meta's theft of Irish writing, which they've used to build their AI tool. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/pr...

When McGregor says he speaks for the "Majority," don't forget we just had an election. Here's a reminder of that pre & post election, "Majority"... #Irishpolitics #speirgorm

Nominate Frances Black for president and get everyone on the left behind her. We don't need a token candidate from each party. Don't split the vote. While we're at it give Michael D a medallion that says he's the GOAT. #SPÉIRGORM

And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls... www.oceanfm.ie/news/conor-m...

A few things the two racist rapists in the Oval today will never understand: St. Patrick was an immigrant. St. Patrick's Day has travelled the world thanks to Irish immigrants. #StPatricksDay is an immigrant's holiday about an immigrant. ☘️ It is a celebration of immigration ☘️ #Speirgorm

Sweet heart of jesus😂 this oval office event is excruciating

Great to see this.

Are there any #GAA fans here on #speirgorm ?

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

Spot on

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started

Imagine President Roosevelt saying in 1940 that Britain was finished, quoting made up numbers for US aid and then suggesting Churchill was stealing vast sums from the Lend Lease programme. Imagine him using lines - literally - written by Joseph Goebbels. This is the equivalent.

ICYMI — “Elon Musk reposted an image from an account claiming to show ‘migrants storming a Birmingham hospital’, but people have pointed out it was actually just a scene from a Batman film.” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/elon-mu...

It's now as clear as day that Trump is a Russian agent.

The BBC is reporting that the shooting is "non-ideological" so you know the shooter is far-right.

This will only take a minute

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

What's come as a shock - to a lot of Irish ppl - in recent yrs is the realisation that we were never looking at 'wild' Irish landscapes but denuded deserts.

Don’t recall subscribing to the Daily Telegraph, but looks like that’s what I’m getting regardless.

When you hear Newstalk pundits saying “we need adults in the room” or “student union politics”, what they mean is “evil and corrupt people are in power and it’s best to join them rather than try to change or oppose anything. Please eat this cheese with me, for I am a small wittle rat”

It’s moments like this when you appreciate, in the fullest sense, what you’ve got. #Spéirghorm #Ireland #IrishBluesky @president.ie as depicted by Colin Davidson.

Doing an interview with an Australian publication and Miggeldy came up in the chat and I spoke about him and said he’s a poet, and the interviewer said, “Your President is a poet? That’s so fucking Irish” and I was very proud

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

The determination of respected news outlets to platform the activities of someone breaching a court order is outrageous. How many reports have been filed on this grandstanding nonsense as opposed to genuine education stories about teacher supply or disadvantage?

So eloquently put. Israel accusing Ireland of “crossing every red line” is perverse.

Musk is reportedly considering a donation around 10x the size of the previous record donation. This is an Armada off Plymouth grade foreign assault on our democracy. We need to act like it.

Little known fact: Michael D. isn’t small. He’s exactly the right size to get up the noses of all the (alt) right people.

I like this

I would think that the entire fun of being a billionaire would be never having to suck up to anyone, least of all dipshits like Donald Trump, but apparently I’m wrong.

Despite mounting evidence across sector after sector, Keir Starmer refuses to recognise Brexit for what it is - the greatest economic own goal in modern history. He is picking at the margins of Johnson deal while agriculture+many other sectors feel the Brexit burn. Lack of leadership is incredible.

The Naomh Pádraig management group after the Ulster Final on Saturday. Great group of lads and very proud to have been part of this success.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Very sorry to see the death, in Capetown, of Louise Asmal, Secretary of the Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement, announced by her son Adam. She worked tirelessly, over many years, with her late husband Kader Asmal, for freedom in South Africa

@theathleticfc.bsky.social These guys, Naomh Pádraig Uisce Chain are Donegal Junior champions for the first time ever. Tomorrow they are in the Ulster Final.
