Just imagine how he’s going to fuck up the Olympics.

Far right influencer Michael McCarthy knowingly and willfully uses his public platform to incite abuse and harrassment against others, and even to silence a journalist. I can prove it because I’m the journalist he silenced, and I kept screenshots of our messages. leftinthelurch.net/2026/07/06/i...

What did we teach our kids about sport? Have fun Play fair No cheating No hurting people Accept the referee's decision Be gracious in victory, humble in defeat It's not whether you win, it's how you play the game We taught them those things because the lessons transfer to life in general.

Flamingo Pharma UK Ltd has issued an urgent recall of its Flucloxacillin Capsules BP 500mg tablets,

An excellent rebuttal from my colleague Ian Marder to the disinformation that has permeated public debate following the recommendations from the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Drug Use. www.thejournal.ie/readme/irela...

My grumpy response to an influx of American exceptionalism. -- The USA was founded on genocide, ecocide, and slavery. -- These things intensified for decades AFTER 1776. -- The US political system is unbelievably corrupt in comparison to most European countries. -- Trump is not an aberration.

6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

The Irish men’s team *need* to just not play the Israel game. To boycott is not just morally right, but such a fucking winner long-term from a PR perspective when it’s against a football establishment of such crooked bastards. Nobody will mind whatever the “punishment” is.

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

I’ve just read the very sad news that @daireniseach.bsky.social has died. Rest in peace. Dáire. Also.. Fuck Cancer #SpeirGorm

Fine Gael have been in government for 15 years straight. Fianna Fáil have been in government for 62 out of the last 100 years. But it's the Green Party's fault Ireland is an infrastructure and planning basket case? Delusional and zero accountability.

We are stuck staring at the worst one in our lifetime.

I mean, same.

The Irish govt: "there's a climate crisis, please try to reduce your driving! 😊🤗" Me: "I would like to get public transport between cities after 8 pm" Irish govt: " fuck off. Fuck you. What? Seriously? Fuck off. Don't talk to me. Just don't use your fucking car, I don't care."

Solar railways could soon become commonplace in Europe, following a successful trial in Switzerland.

This lays bare that the Irish govt, which just weeks ago claimed that we couldn't ban services from the Territories because it was too legally complex, too potentially economically damaging etc were simply lying They were too chickenshit, afraid of the US. They want the cover of acting with Europe

Cabo Verde, global heroes.

Grateful to the Telegraph for providing the definitive answer to its own question, albeit in quite small letters.

Adam Driver is a movie star. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Oh so that's why he wanted the Eli Lilly drug. Dude doesn't want to go down in history as America's fattest president

Have a little bunny break :)

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Beautiful and also the exact opposite of my teenage sons' reactions to the same question.

Hildy is judging you.

I absolutely refuse to believe the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

Spot the difference

Why do people send messages saying "Can I talk to you about something tomorrow morning?"? Talk to me now, call me tomorrow or at least let me know it's not a bad thing. I got that message at 5.30 & I've been paralysed with fretting since then.

We are failed by MSM that they are not reporting on the deepening relationship between the IDSA, the Irish arms lobby group, and the dept of defence. This at a time when all we hear about from the government is the need for more defence spending. www.ontheditch.com/defence-offi...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

BREAKING NEWS: Otter receives some nice chin scritches.

Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to reign in AI use as costs spiral out of control.

A study into heat wave excess deaths in India: “We estimate that a single day of extreme heat causes approximately 3,400 excess deaths nationally; a five-day heatwave causes nearly 30,000” www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

Arendt was right. But Musk is in the room now: “The fundamental weakness of Western civilisation is empathy.”

The Pope doesn't have to excommunicate them: they will have excommunicated themselves the instant they perform a schismatic action, and consecrating a bishop without papal approval is one of the most serious schismatic actions possible in the canons.

This was the best thing I saw today
