Delighted to report that one of my weekday Gym Boyfriends is here today.

This sounds like the kind of thing you'd do before a purge www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If we lower the threshold to be nominated in a presidential election, we're going to end up like an Irish European Parliament election, with over 20 random names on a ballot paper.

"“The Council just did what they usually do: keep the city grey, silent, and stripped of colour and voice.” A swift and accurate summary of Dublin as a city to live in.

Just in case she makes it onto the ballot, it’s good to remind yourself who Maria Steen and the Iona Institute are - fundamentalist zealots who represent almost no one cos even most Catholics think they’re awful

A reminder: she is not a military or security chef for the EU or NATO. She has no role in whether such action should be taken or not.

having fun interacting with my fans on the hellsite

Does anybody need 50,000 Maria Steen For President oven gloves?

The Birkin Burkes

We are all Hermès

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

5... 4... 3... 2... 1... HAPPY NOMINATION DEADLINE (ESPECIALLY FOR STEEN)!

I am very surprised that Marian Harkin did this, nominated Steen, but stated she wouldn't be voting for her. A former MEP (2004 - 2019), she spent her entire time in the liberal group in the European Parliament. Yet she nominated a right-wing candidate?

Should we all do a New Year's Eve-like countdown to noon to celebrate her not getting the nomination?

And as we now know all too well, what he says today is like a sand castle: it'll be washed out in the next tide.

I really do think Irish democracy will be undone by someone "who speaks really well" and we all end up in the plot of Prophet's Song.

It's when Maria Steen gets the 20 Oireachtas nominations...

Boycotts work

Irish set dancing is cra-zee to my gay brain. What do you mean I'm a top and a side?

Very much looking forward to updating this shortly

I am free of the Covid. Thankfully, it was just a mild headcold. It reminds me of that awkward time early on in all things lockdown, when in a Zoom work call, the person my place of work had called, said, "I hope you're staying positive and testing negative". 😬 😬 😬

New Irish insult: your da queues at taco bell

And they are the worst people in the world

It’s amazing that posting Kirk’s own words has become a firing offense.

Ruth Coppinger TD, who had organised a rally against McGregor at Dublin City Co says the person to thank for his withdrawal is Nikita Hand for "exposing him". "That took away any shred of credibility he had to get support... he did not want to run a gauntlet of people calling him a rapist."

If only we could achieve this for Dublin

Although I'm gutted that Cork lost in the camogie final, I am thrilled that Michael D. Higgins' last outting at a GAA final as President of Ireland saw his home county of Galway win!

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has criticised Europe's football governing body UEFA for posting a tribute to "Palestinian Pele" Suleiman al-Obeid that did not mention the former international died after being hit by Israeli gunfire in Gaza

Mo Salah is asking the right questions

You know those people who say "you can't say ANYTHING these days"? They are the same people stopping others from saying ANYTHING these days

"Using airdrops for the delivery of humanitarian aid is a futile initiative that smacks of cynicism," said Doctors Without Borders (MSF) emergency coordinator in Gaza Jean Guy Vataux. He said that airdrops were "notoriously ineffective and dangerous." www.dw.com/en/gaza-ngos...

The move to formalise France's recognition of Palestine, announced on Thursday, sparked immediate backlash from Israel and the US, while it was welcomed by several European and Arab leaders.

What is it with CMAT's lyrics that have all the emotions bubbling up in me? EURO-COUNTRY, like Running/Planning, have my eyes wet while walking into work this past week.

🇵🇸 VIDEO: AFP journalist covers war as Gaza faces extreme shortages AFP video journalist Youssef Hassouna has been covering the Gaza war for 21 months. Now, extreme scarcity of food, clean water and medical care in Gaza are further complicating his efforts to cover the devastating conflict.

A 5km in this blazing heat? Sure why not! #SillyBitch

If you know a Berlin gay, you will find him in one of two places tonight—in Madrid or at the @kylieminogue.music-social.com gig 🏳️‍🌈 & @bearaboi.bsky.social even flew in special!

You just know this would have been an appalling garish building

So basically Instagram ads are: oh you bought that? BUY IT AGAIN? Yes, buy more of them! And you'll see this ad for weeks on end! Like and subscribe😘

"American deterance is back," says Pete Hegseth today at the Pentagon. Is this the post-9/11 deterance that proved to be a roaring success for the world?

I expect Greenland is glad that Trump is distracted at the moment and will just forget about his plans to invade them...

Remember these people - already starved and weak- are forced to walk up to 10km to pick up this food and carry it back to wherever they have managed to make a temporary home

I'm in Berlin for Kylie Minogue's concert on Monday. But she has had to cancel it after getting laryngitis during the UK leg of her tour. Another thing the Brits have taken from the Irish.

“Our ethnic minority community plays an integral role in the life of our club, enriching us with their passion, culture, and commitment. We are stronger and better because of them.” A Portadown GAA club sends a message of solidarity to its ethnic minority members.

This is the only headline I have seen from a news organisation on either side of the Irish Sea where what is happening is described directly and honestly.

“Bluesky is an echo chamberrrrr”
