I love when the Chinese shop just give me random things for free because they’re going out of date

look at me, I’m an economist: “The reason millennials don’t have houses is because they prefer renting with friends (and eating avocado toast)”

The 3 year old has taken to giving any visitor leaving the house one of his teddy bears and he’s very insistent on it.

Here are the Irish MEPs who just sided with the far-right (fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, climate deniers) from across the EU They've voted to gut protections that would have made businesses check and report their supply chains for child labour, human rights abuse or nature destruction

Grabbed a few things from the Twitter archive last night and I was a poster, once

In the last few hours Hickey has retweeted another antisemitic account. This time the tweet attempts to link the Kennedy assassination to some kind of Jewish conspiracy. Said account also thinks the "real Holocaust" was the Jewish-led Bolshevik slaughter of Christians.

Lad who works remotely from Lear Jets, tax-free Monaco and his Carribean compound has some views on the rest of us ...

The next James Bond film should be set in hell. All the innocent people that have died due to his actions as a British agent haunting him.

so joyce carol oates owned elon so hard he's been taking out ads on X saying he has in fact read a book and watched a movie and he's clearly spiraling and unable to recover from such a vicious own i say to my wife as she frantically pulls out of the driveway

There is no winning. Read a book in public, you get accused of being performative. Don't read a book in public, Joyce Carol Oates says you are a human shell with no inner life. 😞

oh my god

Sorry for sharing a post from the other website, I know, but JCO's remarks on that website's owner feel like something that'll be narrated over the end credits of a Musk biopic.

“Israeli ceasefire” continues to involve drone-striking children

A genuine embarrassment and national shame that this man is still platformed by our media and in the pro-Palestine movement

Remember, criticising the Orange Order is sectarian.

People warning about this kinda thing weren't just ignored, they were ridiculed. By the same people who talk about it now with their big serious heads on. Anyway, none of this will stop the likes of Simon Harris getting all racist to distract from how disliked he is.

Aside from anything else: individual members of the public who have done nothing wrong should be able to live their lives in peace, without being turned into national hate figures by the world’s most poisonous and destructive media outlets.

lol

The views of the average pro-Palestinian student broadly match what the academic literature says, what international courts say, what the relavant UN officials & orgs say and what the relevant NGOs say. It is views of Clinton and her peers in Western capitals which are largely divorced from reality.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Sick to my stomach watching this. They had a plan to respond to their own failure - attack immigrants - and they haven't let the attempted murder of immigrants get in their way.

just me, definitely the good guy, referring to empathy as suicidal

This is standard everywhere, and this is why it's important to be skeptical about scary articles about overpopulation. The planet population hitting 9B would be manageable if we could all get together and deal with our billionaire problem.

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.

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.

Jim saying it was fireworks this morning before it was definite what started the fire (flammable substance deliberately put on stairs & set alight) is illustrative of so much. Rush to minimise without facts. In the absence of them, wait. It’s as bad as it looked. So much worse than fireworks

MM of course talking about off shore deportation hubs has nothing whatsoever to do with the arson attack. These aren't related at all, no Sir

Wed: “Our migration numbers are too high”-Simon Harris Thurs: “Taoiseach and Donohoe back Tánaiste’s remarks that numbers migrating to Ireland are ‘too high’” Fri: ”migration numbers too high outside of international protection…as well”-Simon Harris *Arson attack on infants in IPAS centre.*

Video of alleged rape of Palestinian prisoner at Sde Temain went viral last year. Now the lawyer who leaked it has quit.

"What you’re looking at here is economic migration, primarily, and basically, people shouldn’t come to Ireland if they know deep down that they’re not going [to be granted asylum].” - Micheal Martin on Thursday. You may as well have lit the touch-paper yourself, Taioseach.

Newton Emerson writing about Heather Humphreys facing a sectarian storm during the election. Gwan and shite lad.

Saw a video with some lad describing the soc dems as literal communists who are in government now. Things feel like they’re heading towards American levels of dumbness and delusion.

Love that the Burke family are such a national problem that the Irish Times has published an advice column on what to do if you're doorstepped by one of them -- because it could apparently happen to any of us, at any time.

More than 80 people killed by the IDF overnight in Gaza, including many children. This morning: "Oh the ceasefire is back on."

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Noel Thomas told Conor Gallagher he doesn't really now what the "IRB" are about, but that "what they're talking about is wonderful" they talked about setting up their own courts and government at a meeting where Noel Thomas spoke serious questions here www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

given his involvement with a seditious cult of conspiracists, I'd love for journalists covering this by-election to ask Cllr. Thomas some simple questions like "do you believe laws passed by Dáil Éireann are real" and "do you think it's okay for people to set up their own courts"

did anyone else think it was weird for Justin Kelly to describe the rioters at Citywest as "a mob intent on violence against gardaí" when they were a mob intent on violence against Citywest residents and the gardaí were just between them and their targets?

I won’t take any of the presidential election system is undemocratic takes seriously while the Seanad is right there.

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

Connolly, a very left wing politician, got more votes than any other president. I’m tired of the likes of Sheahan putting forward their own leanings as if they have a crystal ball that can see into the hearts of voters.

This is bull. Steen has done no public service and had ample time to prepare a campaign if she was actually bothered. Sheridan wasn't bothered to have documents right for LA meetings. Who else came close to actually trying to get on the ballot? Far-right twats who wanted the free publicity?

The Discover feed must be stopped

The left-wing candidate will end up with almost double the total of all other choices combined. Every opinion columnist tomorrow: “The real story here is all the spoiled votes.” #speirgorm #aras25

A sitting Dublin city councillor has posted a call for "ethnic cleansing". Don't call them far right though

That Philip Sutcliffe ballot has sickened me beyond belief and I honestly wish I hadn't seen it. Man alive, we need to come up with some way to deal with these people, and fast.
