Handbags & False Idols The threat to democracy is real, but it is not Maria Steen failing to secure a nomination thechangingtimes.darylfeehely.com/post-250929-... #Áras25 #IrishPol

Moldovans living abroad can vote - I stumbled on a big crowd waving flags outside their Embassey in London years ago. Irish citizens living abroad should have that right - especially since a LOT of them were compelled to leave because of Gov policy/failures.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

If you have a vote in #Áras25, best to double check:

It's gas that the media are shouting a warning for democracy over Maria Steen, but during the speaking rights "row', when the practical operation of representative democracy was undermined, most of the media were like move along, nothing to see here. #IrishPol

When you're reading that someone saying this causes autism or that causes autism its important to know this. The person in question doesn't know what they're talking about.

Zeebs: The handling by the Backs was great today Craig. Where did that come from? Craig: We got rid of some of the deadwood. #MunsterRugby 🤪🏉🥊 #QuickWit

Solid game from Munster. Good in defence & game mgmt. Great to see JJ back. Solid performances all round too, the squad seems nicely rounded. Captain Craig delivers! 😀 #SCAvMUN #URC

Other than the total shithousery of this headline & premise, what's going on with the ominous fake shadows in the pic? Do they want us to think it wasn't photoshopped, or that pinky & the brain are towering so far above us on their preaching pedestals that they can only be lit from below? #Áras25

My cartoon in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social.

A trick of professional communicators hired by major parties is to distract us into grumbling about their people so we forget to promote what good people are doing and saying. That’s happening in Ireland now. #Spéirghorm #Handbags

"It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism – a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress. "It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up. "Your attempts to silence us have failed because we're right and you're wrong."

“The risk and costs to the State are significant if any one of the proposed parties doesn’t abide by the conditions of their visa.” What a disgusting sentence. www.thejournal.ie/gaa-palestin...

We're going to end up with generic man Jim Gavin, aren't we 🙁 I get the points until the 1930s thing. I suppose you could make a case that militarism was the economic driver, but that discussion has no place anywhere near a Presidental election campaign. She should see that. #Áras25

Simon Harris' statement about raising concerns with Tel Aviv & the UN, and offering consular assistance to the 22 Irish people on the Sumud flotilla is a piss poor response, just like his response about Madleen. If the Italians & Spanish can send a ship to the flotilla, so can Ireland. #IrishPol

If I were in FF (heaven forbid), I'd be preparing to heave. MM's decision-making is suspect. Meaningful xmas during covid, "banks weren't bailed out", lifting eviction ban, crazy u-turn on triple lock, refusing to enact OTB, & now anointing a personality #Áras25 candidate. #IrishPol

WTF is this piece of shit headline from RTÉ? "Activists said"?! There are videos. We all can say we heard and saw the explosions, even you RTÉ. Would it kill ye to say "Footage shows..." What happens if someone is murdered, activists say their lives were lost? Cowards

Those last two votes that Maria Steen is looking for. Enter the kingmaker. #Áras25

So if there were curfews, wouldn't they need to be enforced by the Gardaí, which would mean more policing, which would likely reduce the crime, which would negate the need for curfews & the extra Gardaí, which might lead to an increase in crime, which would mean a need for curfews, which would...

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.
