If he'd dumped several farm vehicles there and racially abused women feeding the homeless instead of wedging a poster in the railings, the State might have given him a pile of cash.

🤫

DCC should also consider how much wheelie bin keeping is crazy making business before banning bags cause why did I just find two of my bin locks broken and said SABOTAGE in my head 😭

asking for an edit button is disgraceful behavior. have some self respect. ooh i need my posts to be perfect and i can't delete because i already got a like!!! i need that like! grow up. figure out if the fav is more important to you than the typo. sometimes we gotta make choices in this life

Announcement! I have a new YA Horror coming out with @littleislandbooks.bsky.social! It's out this August!

Absolutely incredible headline.

Protect the ECHR. Protect Peace. We’ve added our name to a joint letter calling on UK & Irish Governments to publicly reaffirm their commitment to the ECHR at the next Council of Europe meeting, and resist any moves that would weaken its protections. www.flac.ie/.../groups-n...

Bertie Ahearn's comments are not representative of our party, but also check this out

I've been reporting on this issue for a long while, putting FOI after FOI request. Does this piece credit all that reporting once? Nah. ofc everything these guys do is original. Sigh.

Nick Del pretending not to know how company services firms work so he can contrive a link between Daniel Ennis and firms with IPAS contracts my brother in Christ, you do a podcast with one of Peter Thiel's least loved hand puppets, it is not in your interest to push guilt by association

Can someone please explain to the *Minister for Justice* who the Refugee Convention was designed to protect? Hint, it is not (primarily) people “fleeing war”.

I realised this when I got this in the mailbox the other day and was especially suprised with the drop the toll on M50 talking point given he describes himself as an "environmentalist" lol

LOVED this book, and it was so real for this

How many hundreds of thousands of Africans does a man have to kill by yanking foreign aid to get called racist around here?

my favorite genre of international dialogue

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

In response to criticism over the Iranian regimes killing of thousands of protesters early this year, Iran's ambassador-designate in Ireland compared it to Gardaí's response to anti-immigration protests in Dublin in October 2025. (!?)

Make wearing, buying, or selling these things an offence. Just do it. There’s no social value to them whatsoever, only harm.

My second favourite thing in this life: going to bed with a new book. First one is actually sleeping, obvs

A fantastic film out this Friday. Read my review if you have the time.

Oh hello

absurd and disgusting. the guards should be ashamed.

Gardaí press charges against a man for a poster on the gates of Iranian embassy. Morteza Najafi wedged the anti-Khamenei poster by the railings during a peaceful protest in Blackrock, late last month. Read more here www.dublininquirer.com/gardai-press...

Well done 👏🏽👏🏽 www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

The fourth Reform councillor suspended, expelled or forced to resign since being elected on...Thursday

Racism is reliably dumb. But it's especially stupid to say that the Dublin Rose is not Irish enough. Half the contestants in the Rose of Tralee are American, and I don't recall any astroturf social media campaigns against them.

I see Peadar Tóibín is now on a rant about people with Stamp 1 and 1G permissions having too many rights. To clarify, these are people whose presence in the State is ENTIRELY LAWFUL, often based on doing work in an area with a labour shortage, and reckonable for naturalisation purposes.

Turkey got away with murder then, it gets away with murder now www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

A map of all the councils Reform won in their landslide victory.

A fascinating piece by @lizcarolan.com Social media was once the future for big tech. Now it’s a liability www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

by age 30 you should have one friend for every major animal group to spam. seen a good crab post? forward to your token crab person. bat post for the bat person. cicada post for the cicada person. bear post for the bear person. jellyfish post for the jellyfish person. and so on and so forth.

"Writer, hypnotist and paedophile: The Irish fake journalist who ‘duped’ two abuse survivors. Edward White wrote books with two women while claiming to be a journalist. He was later convicted of assaulting a nine-year-old girl."

If you wanna hear about Michael Jackson, Margo Jefferson's "On Michael Jackson" is what you should be reading, instead of going to see the biopic

less than two years ago, Nick Del was citing his familial connections to Irish republican and nationalist figures for clout on X, now he's posting in support of a far right British unionist party lmao

People complaining about the 127k for a bike parking facility obviously have not tried to buy a window or get any work done recently. This seems like it's just anti public services sentiment with a particular anti cycling flavour to it.

only british political analysis you need

I was going to say something about P.T Burnum by many accounts being a pretty well liked politician but I've gotten distracted by him having a house called "Iranistan"

2 transgender MSPs, and 10 (I think?) transgender councilors elected yesterday :) Transphobia is not popular. The ‘phobes can yell and scream all they like, but they are the odd ones. We’re going to be ok. Just gotta keep on going :)

Amazing the hysteria over a €127k spend on a bike shed, yet just by looking at photo, it's quite clear this is a substantial structure. Meanwhile, actual millions are spent building car parks, but what have commentariat got to say about it? Absolutely nothing. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Another Friday night sleep. This is what I lowkey live for.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Of all the knuckleheaded “expert advice” you’ll read today, this is undoubtedly top of the pile. BTW, the “Irish Academy of Engineering” is NOT an academic or official engineering entity, it’s essentially a club, mostly of #climate contrarians. www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

Every three minutes on Bluesky today: oh that's a delightful name for a town! Dudly-on-Friendton. I see they have voted for the Murdering Orphans party.

NGL there is something deeply satisfying about seeing an immigrant (and a Black one at that) polling so highly after all the shite we’ve been hearing about “legitimate concerns” What do you know, the people are decent after all #speirghorm
