Saw AI posters for pubs showing tonight's match from both Mexico and England and both were essentially the exact same aesthetically. The flattening of design into that drivel is horrible.

nobody in the press wants to address the fact that almost everybody at the upper echelons of tech is a full on eugenist nazi

Ireland right now #speirgorm

outlets limiting comments AFTER 1.4K of hateful shit doesn't really make them look any better.

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

10 of Roger Ebert’s Favorite Movies About America: KILLER OF SHEEP “In this poetic film about a family in Watts, [Burnett] observes the quiet nobility of lives lived with values but without opportunities.” www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/...

The moment he realised he's about to throw in the towel is too real 😔

While The Irish Times marketed itself under the tagline "the story of why", they are doing their bit again of not giving context why someone like Government advisor Sean O’Driscoll might be against environmental legislation, so here's this article again: irishcycle.com/2026/01/17/w...

Banger Dáil exchange where Paul Murphy is told not to call Elon Musk a "psychopath" in line with Dáil standing orders

No school should be on X or oblige parents to get updates from it. A site that actively promotes porn, bullying, hate and fascism is not an appropriate place to post pictures of sports days.

🚨🚨Great news: Culture Secretary Lisa #Nandy has announced she and her department are leaving Elon #Musk's #X platform explaining that " the platform "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don't want to support it". 🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have seen the letters of resignation. What in the name of Christ is he talking about?

Hello??

Amid delays with permit renewals, an immigrant doctor in Ireland can't travel to visit his seriously ill mother. The fix for the backlogged system? “It has to be more people assigned to it,” says Colm Burke, the Fine Gael TD. More here: www.dublininquirer.com/amid-delays-...

Part of the difficulty is that employers and indeed specialist HR advisors aren't comprehending the band-aid of a grace period allowing immigrant workers to keep working while waiting for IRP renewal. Several WRC decisions, going back to 2023, document unpaid suspensions and even a dismissal.

While Jim O’Callaghan bangs on about “inefficiencies” his own Department is rendering people jobless and homeless and trapping them in or outside the country because he can’t renew their residence permits within a reasonable time #speirghorm

How bad was Irelands repeal of Birthright Citizenship... well it puts the 2004 Irish Population somewhere to the right of the 2026 US Supreme Court which is pretty far to the right

The same people who I assume follow the likes of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon say this can't be far-right related cause the person questioned about arson at the Talbot Street Prayer Hall was Iranian...

I feel like "deliberately make the entire criminal justice system stop working" is probably just about the worst thing a Minister for Justice can do, no?

in america, schools have to inspect your children’s genitals before they can play sports, no matter how young they are

New & #OpenAccess 🥁Don't normalize #immigration restrictions! For centuries, #freedom of movement has been the conventional view 🕊️ Denying innocent people their rights was not only unjust, but also an act of hostility justifying retaliation, including war🤺 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

ICE Air: Gulags in the Sky • Gillian Brockell on the airlines that profit from Trump's deportation machine

Just had a read of the article on my lunchbreak, and the most baffling part is that it admits that Ogbu had given the correct date of her husband's assassination in interviews. Why would she do that if she wanted to lie as implied?

There's people who actually want Ogbu to have her career destroyed and maybe even get deported so badly it's sick. Desperate for her story to be fake. Because they think all immigrants - especially those who sought asylum - are liars and cheaters. And some of them are employed as "journalists"

Seen late yesterday evening on the garden wall of my mother’s house - anyone know what sort of owl this is, and is it unusual to land on wall by the road in a village. It was raining so not many people around but still! Could it be sick? I’ve never seen an owl around here before

The current government's hostility to people wanting to come here from outside the EU is going to have very serious long-term ramifications which they haven't even begun to really think about (I mean I know Irish governments don't do long-term thinking but) www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

A source sent me this video of a guy ranting and raving "go back to your fucking country" outside the Talbot Street Islamic prayer hall which was on fire today.

I wish these people would take the public they serve seriously. The "pact" has only just come into force. It *impossible* to make these claims at this stage. The Aus. government made the same claim days after the teen SM ban came into effect, and this week they're admitting it's an abject failure.

stop arguing with the guy who loves to argue

> Poll an issue > Overwhelming majority oppose > Print this headline anyway This is the sort of presentation the Sunday Business Post should be ashamed of and a clear case of representing poll results in a certain way to pursue an agenda

Still trying & failing to make our unique business model common. We're one of best coffee roasters in the country but more importantly give up 4% of all our revenue (over 30% of profits each year). Need coffee you can buy here imbibe.ie/pages/shop . If not would be great if you share how we're run.

Happy 100th, Mel Brooks.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Pepper wants to know where is her #caturday sunshine?

These honies are doing numbers on Insta. 😍😍

So much to love about Pico waving the Irish flag, not least that he, a proud Irishman of African heritage and as Dublin as can be, embodies the kind of Irishness that the far right can't abide but is a thriving feature in communities across the island.

Facebook is like "people you may know" and it's Malachy Steenson (literally)

Hillary Cass was also there, which should be noted whenever Irish politicians cite the Cass Review as any kind of authority on trans healthcare #speirghorm

This morning saw the launch of the Centre for Public Law at School of Law and Criminology Maynooth University The Centre was launched by Chief Justice O'Donnell and Prof Sergio Verdugo, and was followed by the launch by Oran Doyle of books written by Mariana Velasco Rivera and Conor Crummey.

“Dworkin revivalism is bad news if it entrenches a status quo of carceral solutions shorn of a wider social critique. But if there is something to hold onto in her thinking, it is the sense of something dark just below the surface of ordinary life.”

Dear Dubliners , you happen to be on the 16 today and see this little fella please pick him up. My friend did try contacting @dublinbusnews.bsky.social but its a Saturday and its early.

I have nothing against the soon-to-be-deported Haitians whom I falsely accused of eating pets. If there had been a cleaner way to ingratiate myself with Republican primary voters, I would have done it. by JD Vance

Bluesky launched in February 2023 as an invite-only platform. As of June 2026, we have 45 million users. For reference, that's almost the population of Argentina. Thank you for being here with us 💙 Here’s to the next 45 million accounts.
