Ireland 🤝 Iceland Being a modern secular island nation (in the North Atlantic Ocean) but still rerouting public works so as not to disturb the fey, just in case.

Middle age creeps up fast then, bang, it hits. It came for me this weekend after I realised I was excited to get new garden gadgets and then made an apple tart.

Begging, screaming, throwing up

Has anyone figured out how the scores work on @hignfy.bsky.social ?

FIanna Fáil seemingly need to do a remix of I need a hero to I need a heaver

JD Vance visits Pope Francis. Pope Francis dies immediately. JD Vance visits Viktor Orbán. Viktor Orbán gets booted out of power immediately. When does JD Vance plan to visit Donald Trump?

Stakeholders

Trump decides to deal with the block of the strait of hormuz by *checks notes* blocking the strait of hormuz. Lads…

Making an international crisis a national disaster. Blocking the fuel terminals is ridiculous.

And it only took hours before a pro Palestinian protest got absolutely battered at the port tunnel compared to this.

Rather infuriating that the government is reported to be looking at asking people to conserve energy when they won’t head on address the amount of people forced back to offices. If you can work from home and there’s no issues you should be allowed to stay working from home.

To be fair. Between Ireland and France, France walloped us and it would have been mad then if we had managed to win the championship. That’s sport.

A truly rare multiple sighting in the wild

Who the hell okayed that jersey for france against england? I have perfect colour vision and I’m struggling to tell them apart on overhead shots. Plus it looks more like someone put jeans in the white wash and decided to make it a *look*. #fraveng

I do not actually care who wins this once reform loses.

It’s easy to know that I’m doing too much duolingo german when my ads on instagram are aus deutsch

The field of athenry being sung loudly around Twickenham is probably one of the sweetest sounds in International Rugby #engvire #6nations

Trump is getting Merchant of Venice’d. You can have your pound of flesh but not a drop of blood. If he had bothered to understand law, he would damn well know that this is daily linguistic gymnastics for lawyers and part of our trade.

Trump is not used to being told no. It’s a pity for society and the world that he wasn’t told no more often and earlier in life.

Even the English newspaper editors who decided to go with the Enemies of the People front page of the UK Supreme Court are probably suffering from vicarious embarrassment at the tripe coming out of Trumps mouth about SCOTUS

US Constitutional Lawyers currently speed reading up on the Fiscal Chaos doctrine

I wasn't made for the apps. I'll find love the old fashioned way, by summoning it from an ancient book.

This is just fabulous. Fantastic from Scotland #scoveng

I always enjoy #scoveng but I’m really enjoying this

What in the name of jaysus is going on here. I knew we would have a tough day but Italy is humiliating us #irevita #6nations

The dodder #speirgorm

358 806 signatures for the full suspension of the EU-Israel association, more than 1/3 of what is needed and 4 of the 7 countries needed over 100%. tinyurl.com/mv8fzdhu ☑️Belgium 103% ☑️Finland 100.5% ☑️France 296% Ireland 58.7% Italy 79.8% Netherlands 31% Poland 51.4% ☑️Spain 111.9% Sweden 81.6%

Brits, please remember with everything that's happening in the US right now, that Nigel Farage wants the UK to create an ICE-style organisation for exactly the same stated purpose.

Sounds very much like blackmail and a lot of info with nothing to do with immigration enforcement in my opinion.

Should be ICE to be disbanded and all members (incl directing operations to the highest level) to be investigated for crimes. And no don’t be calling for training - they need to go. They are the equivalent of the slave catchers and (from irish history the black and tans - we know how that ended)

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

I’m telling you now. After all the handwringing about our Patrick’s Day trip to the white house, trump himself will cancel it because of some nonsense he thinks is more maga.

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included. For goodness’ sake, Bill Kristol is in favor of it. Can you really not get there? trib.al/Au0nOrx

The #statepapers release hits different for the years you remember.

Stupid is getting stupider over there

My energy for 2026

I’m actually disgusted that #munvlei was shoved behind a paywall.

Though Dublin was under artillery attack tonight but then I checked the calendar… Also stupid night for fireworks, there’s a howler of a gale out.

How I’ll sleep tonight after recharging from the presidential and knowing there shouldn’t be another election for the next 4 years unless something goes awry in the Dáil.

Micheal Martin not going to Dublin Castle is actually disgraceful. He’s constitutionally mandated to meet and appraise the President of the political issues of the day and won’t be bothered to show up to the declaration. #aras25

Didn’t work for Gay Mitchell. Doubt it will work for Micheal Martin. Terrible optics

Meanwhile in the rds they tried to charge me 3.55 for a can of coke. #aras25

Updating my LEGO White House

Btw for those wondering, there is no exit poll #aras25 however the Electoral Commission will be doing a post election review but probably won’t be release for a few weeks after the vote.

For Halloween, Met Eireann should really change the town names to the spooky place names. Like Castlefreake, Gorey and all the Kill villages around the Island.

I’m actually surprised. My local polling station is busy. #ivoted

I swear to god if I hear another thing about Catherine Connelly was a barrister who represented banks and it’s a scandal nonsense I’m going to get a migraine. Seriously it’s one one small step away from the Daily Mail’s enemies of the people/uk supreme court front page. Knock it off.

In non election news and about time too www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

I’m just more shocked by the car going behind “paul connelly”. Did AI put Mary Mitchell O’Connor back in the car park and she’s driven into the National Museum side? Also this sort of fake nomination withdraw nonsense is probably an electoral offence.
