People need to understand that the neoreactionary movement is one thing with different faces it presents to the public, as demonstrated in the recent BBC shenanigans: the gender crackpots, domestic fascists and genocide enthusiasts are all on the same page with the international fascists.

what you fail to see, mister pope...

Imagine the pressure they are applying over the OTB. 'The state of Israel was in “constant contact” with a Fine Gael councillor to help him defeat a county council motion calling for an Irish government boycott of Israeli military equipment.' www.ontheditch.com/israel-collu...

"Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them. "Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects"

Dear @simonharrisireland.bsky.social if u had told me & @frankoconnor.bsky.social u were going to be in Cork we'd have given u a tour of 700 empty buildings within 2km of city, they could be homes for thousands & thousands but instead you choose to blame others for your failure #DerelictIreland

"Damaging the good name of the military" is in fact the sole good outcome of Trump's Caribbean sky murder spree. Why are Americans/Europeans like this?

Astonishing Vaccines and antibiotics, man Vaccinate your kids

Motherfuckers, we basically beat *cigarettes*. Young people may not remember the total ubiquity of cigarettes in public life, but it was there. People still smoke, but it's *worlds apart*. Never cede ground on hating. We might not be able to destroy AI, but we can shame it back to obscurity.

Also, we need people to have children, so how about we sort out the massive career earnings ding that a woman takes every time she has a child by, oh I dunno, making paid maternity leave mandatory, paying parental leave, better paternity leave, tackling bias against pregnancy in the workplace, etc..

RTÉ news referring to planning law as 'red tape' is not good. The Government is weaponising the housing crisis to weaken existing legal protections and democratic process (not the other way around as Minster Chambers tried to claim). www.rte.ie/news/2025/12...

right like there's definitely some of that, arguing for robot-human equivalence not as a way to elevate the robots but as a way to denigrate humanity bsky.app/profile/elec...

This will last precisely until an AI demands a 40 hour work week,2 weeks paid vacation, and a 401K. At that point, they will declare they have no rights and are just machines.

There is no ceasefire. There never was a ceasefire.

guys who have no belief in or respect for human rights are becoming oddly invested in whether robots have rights

They were 8 and 11 years old

Imagine being a teenager from Afghanistan who managed to somehow find a way out of the violent chaos that our "developed" countries unleashed on them before fucking off back home, and then you end up getting beaten bloody by thick pricks in Brittas fucking Bay

Israel loves to bomb little kids.

"Papers please."

This hasn't gotten much traction, but late last week, Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan announced plans for A) A social media ban for under-16s. B) To achieve this, introducing mandatory digital ID requirements for all Irish users of social media platforms. #speirgorm #Ireland #internetpolicy

Two future presidents of Ireland protesting Tony Blair and GWB's illegal war of enrichment in 2003.

People on social media may use the term 'memory-holed' a lot but that's because we're trying to draw attention to things like this. Almost everyone I know was against the Iraq war at the time, but it has been memory-holed, because the current custodians of history would prefer it to be forgotten.

OK, aspiring francophones, here's a passage to sharpen your teeth on...

Pretty wild to see The Great Replacement Theory morph from a fringe conspiracy theory held by the most extreme Neo Nazis, to just being something that people talk about like it’s happening.

President Herzog.

You would think that someone with a degree in history would understand that renaming a park cannot and will not erase any history of any community or group, similarly to how the taking down statues of slavers has not erased the history of slavery! #speirgorm

Regarding the worthy attempt to rename Herzog park the biggest international political headache for Micheál Martin and FF/FG is that Ireland is not racist enough to fit in in Europe or with the US any more and we can expect Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are going to do what they can to "fix" that.

this is quite the detail

The Irish government is ideologically incapable of solving the housing crisis, but it's not only their fault. If you voted for them, you own this just as much as they do, and you need to start fixing it.

Closing the airspace over a foreign country is a de facto declaration of war but we’ve pushed so far into “let’s conspicuously underreact so everyone knows we’re savvy people not overreacting to Trump” that his de facto declaration of war is literally not even being reported on the news

“Short-term lets make up about 50% of 350,000 bed spaces available across Irish tourism industry each night” .. 175,000 bed spaces (≈ 60,000 new homes) is equivalent to almost 2 full years of new build supply.. getting some of this back would fix housing crisis www.newstalk.com/news/thousan...

I wonder is trend less pronounced outside North America? In Ireland for instance.

I wonder if that means DCC is going to ignore all aspects of planning law or is it just that they like to permit racists to continue their work.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

I’d add: the core of the case against the left 2015-2019 was that we all hated Israel irrationally, and that us believing they were gearing up to exterminate the Palestinians was the real world manifestation of our insane ideology. How is that looking now? Does it look like it’s us that fucked it.

Important to understand that this is both 1) true and 2) the same thing as directly accusing most MPs and politics journalists of being actively complicit in genocide, the crime that made the Nazis the most detested people in history. Also, 2) is absolutely correct, they are.

is Microsoft Excel a feminist? Is Gemini a queer ally? Is this graphing calculator my friend

Why stop the self sufficiency mandate at asylum seekers when there are so many children, old people, sick and homeless freeloading on the state? “Something should be done about the useless eaters” says our fearless Minister for Justice.

Oh it's even worse than that, because I'm sure these little guys are actually being driven (by default or via manual override) by lowly-paid gig economy contractors... in the Philippines and other Global South countries.

Not doing Black Friday because I'm against the creeping Americanisation of Irish life and can't afford to as a small artist, but WILL be doing Vengeful Hag Friday where for every piece of art you purchase from www.ciaraioch.com/artprints I will fervently wish bad cess to your enemies

Local small independent bookstore in Milwaukee said exactly this in a recent social post, circling back on the point they might not make it to 2026 if they don't have a big holiday weekend, and it got shared by basically every record store and small business concern over the last week.

It’s an exaggeration to say the key driving force of recent reactionary politics was important people discovering that the public do not in fact like or respect them, then going *absolutely apeshit* when they discovered there are hard limits on their own behaviour. But it isn’t a wild exaggeration.

FFS, a 'lonely place' for landlords What a load of BS Bring back the Land League with its fair rents & fixity of tenure #EvictionBan #DerelictIreland
