Nostalgia for 2016. I just don't get it. We've been trapped in 2016 for a decade.

Huh, so turns out that the manufacturing of non-consensual and child porn was integral to the whole operation? Who'd have thunk it?

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

This man converted to a faith that makes it its mission to remind him at every turn and at the highest possible levels that it fucking hates his guts, so at least there’s that.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

All the 'we need to have our guns to defend against a tyrannical government' lads are being *real* quiet lately.

I think about this tweet a lot.

Every hour between Monday and Tuesday, Twitter generated 6,700 sexual deepfake images. Experts say it has become the biggest online factory of such material in the world. This was a trend once on the darkest corners of the web - now pushed by a billionaire into the mainstream.

Gonna be totally honest and say that given that ICE seems to be minimally trained people who washed out of every other military/law enforcement operation and were given free access to weapons and minimal oversight I'm actually surprised that this is the first ICE murder we're seeing video of

The Brits - “Oh my god we may have to develop nuclear war plans against the United States” The French - “OH HO HO TIME TO DUST OFF OUR NUCLEAR WAR PLANS WITH THE UNITED STATES”

This is absolutely mortifying. Scarleh for you, missus. jrnl.ie/6919227

President of Peace, three days into 2026. This should be a chilling warning for the world. There's maybe half a dozen world leaders that the current US Govt *wouldn't* do this to. And there's been plenty threats about Greenland too.

we don’t know because this is uncharted territory. no fifa peace prize recipient has ever bombed another country before

I keep thinking about how important this is, and who benefits from the narrative that only a guy named Edward can be the hero who intervened to protect Jewish lives, not a guy named Ahmed

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Looks like the Birchers weren’t entirely wrong about domino theory

Ivan Yates is free. You should hire Ivan.

Checking in on Rudy Giuliani, I see he's having an insane one

Declan Ganley is a US military contractor in business with Peter Thiel and Karl Rove. his son Micheál's previous job before "refounding" the Bethlehem Steel Company, was as a staffer for Lindsay Graham. he's a stooge for US interests and should be treated as such

Twitter right now is a fetid swamp of creeps trying the excuse the attempted murder of infant children in Drogheda

For those keeping count, Simon Harris "took to social media" to decry the shooting of Charlie Kirk the following day. He's gone cycling today, apparently.

If a PBP TD said that there were too many foxhunters in Ireland and then there was a arson attack on a hunting lodge that night, you can be damn sure that Simon Harris could join the dots. He really should resign.

Harris will be outraged at any hint of a connection between his comments & the arson attack. So outraged he won't get round to explaining himself. Micheál Martin will find it repugnant that people are making such a connection. So repugnant he won't get round to explaining himself.

They doused petrol on a building housing of refugee families and set it alight. They were trying to burn these people out, if not actually burn them alive. It was a pogrom. It's important we identify it properly And the government is encouraging the politics behind this. It'll happen again

Kicking in the door and setting stairs on fire to hinder escape. If these terrorists can get away with this, the same kind of violence will be used against anyone these they don't like, whether they have a different skin colour or a different political opinion. www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Ivan Yates becomes the first middle aged white guy to fail at podcasting, in keeping with being the first bookie ever to go bankrupt

The 'concerned citizens' among us are edging closer and closer to the unspeakable. These arsonists in Drogheda came very close to being murderers last night. Remember this the next time the 'protect women and kids' line is trotted out.

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.

Already completely sick of these entitled whingers trying to modify the system so they can get a leg up. Impossible to have any respect for it. Make it harder to get nominated, that's what I say.

Caroline_Ahern_Clipboard.jpg: "So, as a bunch of racists, what first attracted you to Aontú?"

A lot of the spoiled ballots I saw while tallying were very explicitly and forcibly racist. When the talking heads from Iona and Aontú say that FF and FG need to court their votes, that is who they are talking about.

Our 10th president, Catherine Connolly, won more votes with her presidential campaign than any other single electoral candidate in Irish political history. That's really fucking something, no matter what the spoil the vote crowd, your David Quinns etc will no doubt tell you

While it was a less than ideal Presidential campaign - with only two candidates still running in the end - it’s useful to see the names and bios behind the ‘spoil your vote’ campaign. Mainly a lot of failed politicians, right wing agitators and social conservatives. www.rte.ie/news/primeti...

"Nothing works like negative campaigning" Not today. #Áras25

Looking through all the pictures of spoiled votes, and forced to conclude that this electorate cannot draw a decent cock and balls at all at all. #aras25

How deranged do you have to be to see FG as woke

Very important to remember that Declan Ganley is closely aligned with Peter Thiel, both financially (Rivada) & ideologically (conspiracy theory loving conservatives). We really shouldn’t be encouraging or helping to normalise in Ireland the silliness & misinformation that’s infected the US & UK.

In fairness, @theresareidy.bsky.social was rebutting Declan Ganley’s American-style podcast bro word salad silliness on Radio 1 very well though. Extremely glad there was voices of normal reason about a democratic election available to counter him. Claiming #Áras25 was rigged is truly delulu.

DJG furiously plucking excuses from the MAGA handbook, not an original thought in his head.

No, no, they said 'SPOIL your vote' not 'SOIL your vote'! #aras25

I need every journalist to point out that even if steen got the finger out and got on the ballot (she didn't), and even if all the spoiled votes would have gone to her (they wouldn't), she would have still come last

Even the Healy Rae machine (they canvassed for Humphreys) is vulnerable to left unity. Final tally in Kerry has Catherine Connolly on 62% #aras25 #speirgorm #ConnollywillbePresident

Ah, the lesser known 'Starting Off On the Petty Foot' approach to dealing with your new head of state. Cool, very grown up behaviour. #aras25

I am hearing that on her defeat, Maria Steen received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahāda. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but God, and Mohammed is his prophet!
