Just watched Nuremberg. Amazing. 10/10. No notes

That’s the Valentine’s Day card message sorted. ‘For a moment with you an eternity I could wait. Like Enoch Burke outside a school gate’ #SpeirGorm

This, along with the replies, had made my morning

There's also a new sinister development I've noticed where companies silently sign you up for regular subscriptions of the one off product you bought. And you don't know until they email the dispatch confirmation. At which point it's too late to cancel. Absolutely infuriating

"If Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump." Whole article 10/10. No Notes. (He's speaking for the whole of Europe here, not just The Brits, btw)

He's a fucking idiot

I keep feeling like I'm living in a video game where the creators just went "fuck it, I'm bored. Let's just do Chaos Mode" I'm going to be 50 in a couple of weeks. Even for a Gen Xer I am EXHAUSTED

Indeed. And where are the Mould Castle Witch and Divorced Comedy Writer in all this?

We’ve always known the Irish Government and Gardaí were beholden to US corporate interests but their refusal to enforce CSAM laws for fear of upsetting an American company is the most craven display of cowardice I can imagine.

You absolute little shit. Yes people need places to live. Whether they are born in Ireland or migrate into the country. The fact there aren’t enough places for them to live is because your fucking government has failed miserably at building them. Get absolutely fucked.

If the woke liberati are cancelling Christmas I wish they’d hurry up. I can’t avoid it much longer and there’s a very real danger that I may have to spend money on presents, see people I’d prefer to avoid, and participate in the entire ghastly rigmarole. Get on with it.

We need a word for the English language to describe feeling like you're in a history book. When a trend, technology, or event is so numbingly idiotic that you can immediately envision someone 50 or 100 years from now learning about this and saying "What the fuck was wrong with people back then?"

These two stories are somehow connected. Apparently, if you lobby tirelessly for more pollution & ecological wreckage, that’s exactly what you get.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Blisters.... everywhere you go.."

Look at us, being all moral high ground. Very proud! EBU should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves #speirgorm

This reads as parody and I'm embarrassed for everyone involved

Ok, we need to get a bunch of pride & trans flags, anarchist flags, Nigerian flags, Indian & Travellers flags, anything cool you can think of flags that would piss off the fash and put them all beside these flags then

I know they're losing but this seems a bit extreme

A "red beret in Waterford" moment.

I live in (what I think I'm correct in saying is) the most diverse constituency in the whole country - Dublin Central, D1 - *and* I'm old enough to remember what this place was like before significant immigration, and the idea that immigration hasn't been good for this country is fucking laughable

I believe they prefer to be called Americans

A "baleful and malign presence, an intruder, stalking the school, its teachers and its pupils". The judge sums Enoch Burke up perfectly.

Tearing defenceless animals limb from limb isn't "rural pursuits" as some failed politicians would have you believe. #speirghorm

The Irish Times this morning answering a question literally no one was asking. #speirgorm

Why is anyone asking this clown his opinion on anything?

Spot-on. Our humanity is reflected in how we treat our fellow beings, from outlawing bloodsports, to the just transition away from industrial livestock. As one of those pesky vegans, an awareness campaign interests me, helping people make informed personal decisions. #spéirghorm #ireland #áras25

Oh fuck off

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Sorry, but Enoch Burke is an unwitting and unwilling comedy gift. You can’t tweet breaking news about yourself and report you are excellent as part of it. It’s gold!

‘Where’s your fucking poppy?’

‘Ireland ‘must not be seen as the easy place to get into’, says Minister’ The FFG government continues to tack to the right .. have they learned nothing from the Presidential election, chasing the far right vote is a no win situation #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

This is exactly the kind of content I am here for. Cheered me up immeasurably. The face plant... 🤣

Yes, and it should be based on CO2 created per person. So the billionaires on their private jets should be paying many multiples of a passenger on a scheduled flight for every take off and landing. It is insane that the global rich continue to pollute with impunity whilst the rest of us pay.

If you’re out here wringing your hands writing articles about why a bloke who thinks immigrants get free cars wrote “cunt” on his ballot paper, instead of writing articles about the well funded fascists who ran a campaign aimed at that guy, then you have no business pretending to be a journalist

Andrew does still have a title. Clue: it’s pretty close to mine.

Imagine being such a family of melts that a national paper issues a guide to dealing with you where the advice is similar to that of if you encounter a bear while hiking.

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Started watching #worldsapart, that's some wholesome stuff, right there. Loving it. Everyone is so kind and sweet. Perfect viewing after catching the bloody news earlier

Now that the left has had a huge victory in Ireland I guess the centrist parties must promise to listen to the electorate and move to the left. I mean they feel compelled to ape the right whenever those headbangers win a few council seats.

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest. #Aras25 #Speirgorm

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

Am honestly exhausted by the media in this country. In every country actually. Soul destroying

FFS. Really?? #speirgorm

“Cutting off all trade negotiations with Heard Island and the McDonald Islands because the penguins refused to salute our passing aircraft. Thank you for their attention to this matter.”

Heist movies: The alarm system has triple failsafe mercury switches & pressure sensors with a two-microgram tolerance so we'll need to hack the mainframe once we've cloned the biometrics of the chief security officer and... Louvre heist: We've got the bucket and the ladder, let's crack on.

Gambling is a pox on our society and like Landlordism it should be taxed as much as Alcohol and Cigarettes.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to get one over on tve French police...
