Can America please please fuck all the way off with date formats that are inconsistent, and assuming everywhere else uses your stupid system. DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD are fine. There is either an increase in the units or a decrease. MM/DD/YYYY is just stupid.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I absolutely love it when I hear something in a familiar piece of music that I've never really noticed before. I have listened to Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix more times than I could count since I was a teenager and never took notice of the backing vocals before this morning.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the Irish that people leaving their home countries for better prospects elsewhere are worse than landlords. #speirgorm

So if you run at a player and headbut them in the shoulder, they go off for 20 minutes, is that correct? #ireVnzl

Another one from the "protect women and children" folks

No, Samhain is not the word for Halloween. It's the word for November, and the festival on the 1st of November. Oíche Shamhna is Halloween, literally November Night. And if you want to get properly into the old traditions of it, Sean-Samhain is on the 12th of November.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

I will be able to cope with this.

Gas one for ye there @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social

But they were fine with him interviewing Daniella Weiss www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

We were talking about horror movies and the eldest was trying to make a point about the younger ones even being scared of Harry Potter, but she stumbled on the words and accidentally called him Horror Potty. This is how I will be referring to the franchise from this point on.

Embarrass the establishment and show up for left unity. Even if you think it's a done deal, send the strongest message possible. Make it a landslide and make them listen to your voice. #vote #Áras2025

Voted! Catherine's campaign has been positive and with her track record I hope she will continue to speak up for mother and baby home survivors, the disabled and carers. I feel she's a compassionate woman which is needed in these times. #Áras25

🇮🇪 Presidential Election Day 1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~ Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

How many have died to get you that vote? Have respect for how hard it was to earn you the right to use that ballot paper.

So much of the British education system is structured towards producing army recruits. This is why they don't teach actual history. This is why their legal system* is structured towards protecting the establishment.

Some people on this island are voting to elect their head of state Others are digesting the fact that their state deployed paratroopers as peacekeepers - an oxymoron in itself, who killed children in broad daylight & then frustrated justice to the point that it was impossible. Such a stark contrast

There will never be justice for what the British state did in Northern Ireland

There is no British Justice.

"Thirteen people were shot dead on Bloody Sunday in January 1972 at a civil rights demonstration in the Bogside area of Derry. A public inquiry, which concluded in 2010, found that none of the people who were killed posed any threat to the army." www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Not at all surprising, but nevertheless wretched and disappointing to see the brits are protecting murderers again because the murders suited the state. A deeply unserious nation.

A psychopathic mass murderer walks free. No justice for Bloody Sunday.

The court states that it was "constrained" by the evidence before it. It took 50 years to get here. Some who witnessed the shootings are now dead. One of the soldiers who was there is dead and another refused to give evidence (because of self incrimination).

Click here to read his name.

Bad day for the rule of law. The state can murder you in front of witness, cameras, frustrate justice for years, oversee destroying evidence and then put it 53 year later before a jury less trial to give themselves the green light about it all. And I have to pay my taxes to fund it

History will correctly record Soldier F as a murderer.

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.

Justice denied again. Shocked but not surprised. This is devastating for the families.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire

A reminder of who soldier F is. Michael Mansfield’s autobiography has his full examination of him at the Saville enquiry.

Waiting for the Soldier F verdict with the heart rate of hummingbird

All eyes on this. All

Conor McGregor sexually assaulted a woman in a hotel. At the time, I didn't see gangs of angry people trying to burn down boxing rings or ban MMA fighters from entering the country. Maybe because the riots last night in Dublin weren't about the victim but about racism and right-wing nationalism.

FG really should know that they don't have to publish an official response to the bass player of a post-punk band writing an Instagram story about their candidate. It really isn't necessary for them to do this.

I'll see your Daniel and raise you Sharon... queen takes bishop...

Dear Americans, Yes it's an outrage that yerman is knocking chunks off the White House to build himself a throne room. It's an intentional outrage. To distract you. Eyes open lads.

Fine Gael have never had a successful presidential election campaign. Looks like they won't be starting any time soon. #áras2025

Some of the exchanges.

Did he phrase this badly, yes. Is this sectarianism? I dunno, go read some of Douglas Hydes writings on "The Necessity for De-Anglicising Ireland" and come back to me.
