If only Britain had chosen chaos under Ed many years ago

In a world of Elon Musks be more Donald Tusk.

TLDR: Make racism shameful again. While you’re at it add fascism too.

The absolute utter cheek of someone having an Irish tricolour at an anti immigration rally in London. Honestly they must be illiterate because they’ve obviously never been in the same room as a history book never mind read it.

There is too much news happening today

Spot the difference Fine Gael Parliamentary Party during Covid or Traitors Roundtable.

Starting gun fired on #pres25. The presidential fact checking and general rants will commence on an irregular frequency on my substack substack.com/@quiatimet/n...

Oh my god. There is a spinal tap 2. *wilts*

Me reading Conor McGregor’s utter Constitutional claptrap via screen grabs from twitter

I see. Metrolink is redundant due to AI as it will generate images of us at the airport with six fingers on each hand instead…

Once I get back off my holidays, I think I’m going to have to start some presidential watch to call out the rubbish some candidates may go on with in their manifestos and statements. It’ll all be over by the end of October anyway with the election more than likely on the 24th October… #preswatch

We give up 3.5% of any money you spend us. It's a fundamental part of our business model. In addition to this, we're giving 10% of all you spend to @womensaidireland.bsky.social until midnight tonight. #speirgorm imbibe.ie/shop/

I still can’t believe that Kerrygold (an Irish company) will release a cinnamon sugar butter in the US but won’t stock it in Ireland. The audacity.

Was on the Pat Kenny show on Monday with @quiatimet.bsky.social to talk about the constitutional powers/limits of the Irish President www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

UTA dropped Bob Vylan but represents Chris Brown just so you know where the line of acceptability is

Hey Ireland if you’re looking for summer were holding it hostage down here in the south east.

Irish leader Michael Martin decries Europe’s inability to pressure Israel to stop ‘continuing slaughter of children’. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

The ‘Triple Lock’ is to be found in the Defence Acts and requires that an operation must be (a) mandated by the United Nations, (b) approved by the Government, and (c) approved by resolution of Dáil Éireann, if more than 12 members of the Defence Forces are sent overseas for peacekeeping operations.

Why does nearly everything about Wes Streeting (even when in opposition) give me the ick? Weak (if negative) on trans care, seems too in thrall to private healthcare and now hopping on to Glastonbury causes me to raise questions about him.

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

There’s been another Tweet Chris! But from who?

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

Ronald Reagan called and wants his mad cap national security ideas back #goldendome

Has the funeral details for Pope Francis been put on rip(dot)ie yet? Because you know for a certain section of Irish society he’s not gone till it’s up there.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is calling for an independent investigation into whether Trump engaged in market manipulation. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I see the penguins won…

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Only person who’s probably delighted with the #TrumpSlump right now is Kwasi Kwarteng. Because at least his record of tanking an economy in record time has been breached.

Mad to think it was three years since that orange gobshite was arraigned.

The american stock market right now. Make numberwang great again.

Barry in the Dail thinking it’s mean girls

And the murmurs have started now that the ff backbencher realise they’ve been short changed.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has detained another international student—this time from the University of Alabama and without providing any justification. All are assaults on free speech and are blatant violations of immigration law.

Last chance to view the National Folklore Collection's exhibit, featuring items related to Irish Travellers, now displayed on Level 1 of the James Joyce Library. We were delighted to launch this exhibit on 18th March - come see it before it's gone at the end of this month! @ucdarchives.bsky.social

I too have complained this doctor to the medical council and it was upheld. Isolated incident my rear end. Doctor guilty of poor performance after recommending Ann Summers items to woman who later died jrnl.ie/6660729

Honesty, Verona Murphy was fatally wounded on this whole issue on the first day of the #speakingrights debacle. The fact a motion of no confidence has gone in, whether sucessful or not, means she has to go. For long time political watchers it’s like the good old John O’Donoghue CC days. #dail

Micheal would want to watch the tone here. Emphasising on the past could make himself sound like the past and digging his heels in here could mean he is so tied in that it makes or breaks him. I’m sure some gov backbencher want to get on with things and murmurs start.

Seriously America (specifically trump voters) what did you expect from an administration where the head kept confidential classified documents beside the bog roll?

Oh dear. Not a good look at all.

Great day for popcorn sales again in Ireland #dail

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Nerd alert - Yesterday was the last day where Seanad University panel bye elections could be held under the 1937 act. From today all bye elections until the first election to the Seanad for the combined HEI panel, will be held under the transitionary provisions of part 5 of the new 2024 act.

⚠️ Confirmed: Live metrics show #Turkey has restricted access to multiple social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok; the incident comes as Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu and dozens of others are detained in events described by the opposition as a "coup"

Judge Reyes closes her opinion by personally thanking every servicemember and veteran. A nice touch that stands in stark contrast to the president’s assault on their rights.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

This is actually scary stuff graphic from www.cbc.ca/news/world/t... #democracy

So, based on US reportage so far - the US federal government lawyers facing this upcoming hearing have just tried to get hearing vacated (denied) and, by appeal, now to get an urgent stay and the removal of the judge. This is really, really desperate stuff.

Severe amount of maggotry going on here. I’d be grabbing popcorn and hoping the rule of law survives

Ireland right now.
