Loving the honesty of the new branding by McDonalds

These are 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ClimateChaos

Short answer, yes - and by a number of our politicians too. #Housing #HousingCrisis #Homelessness #DerelictIreland #Ireland

Mamdani's speech is SO GOOD: respectful, generous, sparkling.

Another 15 years No better case for use it or lose it so when it comes to the 180,000+ empty homes across Ireland #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

100% this. The housing crisis just benefits too many landlords to put an end to it. Borders counties, and Leitrim in particular is just abandoned home after abandoned home, just waiting to be fixed up and breathed life into.

I really enjoyed this … #History #Heritage #Architecture #WashingtonDC #USA

Oh. I say …!

“The John Lewis Christmas advert, […] arrives 10 days earlier than last year’s after a general shift towards an earlier Christmas launch in recent years by rivals including Marks & Spencer and the big supermarkets.” Milking memory for cash and calling it “festive” 😒 (Yes, I am that grinch)

Errrrr … how many times God? God: none actually. Closer to what ICE is doing in American cities.

😂😂😂😂

If you’ve broken in, and deliberately set the stairs on fire, you’re trying to prevent people (including little children) from escaping and hoping that the inhabitants burn to death. Also, this is an attack on a state-sponsored facility. When are we going to call it - it’s terrorism?

This is not what someone does if they are a "concerned local". And every "protestor" at asylum seeker accommodation is part of the road leading up to something like this being done.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

That’s quite the look you’re getting from Mr Haughey 😉

We think these memes are Going Places. 🧳 📖 The Torment of the Proud - Valley of Burning Sulphur (detail) from Visions of the Knight Tondal, 1475, Simon Marmion. Getty Museum, Ms. 30 (87.MN.141), fol. 15v

The cover artwork is beautiful 👌🏻 (And the story isn’t half bad either 😉) #Ireland #Dublin #JamesJoyce #Dubliners #TheDead #Books

Not that I use LinkedIn all that much, but I’ve just stoped them using my data for ‘generative AI improvement’ (see below).

“During the break for lunch, we met a man who is part of a group of about a dozen retirees from around the country who meet up regularly to attend court cases of interest.” What an interesting pastime 🧐 www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

What a throughly enjoyable #LongRead

It’s Friday, so #alwayslookup

🎃 Happy Halloween! This appropriately spooky binding comes from a sammelband of works on the guillotine, containing thirteen items on its invention, history, use, and physiological effects.

Pulling this out from the camera roll for the day that is in it!

#Medievalsky Anyone going to be in the TNA map room this week who could check some Latin for me? Or alternately, anyone who has pics of C 77/7, m.7d., they could share by any chance? Gratitude and acknowledgement shall be thine!

“Numbeo's Crime Index is based on crowdsourced perceptions of safety rather than official crime statistics” Perception over reality - the political struggle of our times.

“Ten years ago, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified processed meat — including nitrite-cured bacon, ham and sausages — as a Group 1 carcinogen, placing it alongside tobacco and asbestos” #Health #Nitrites 🥓🥓🥓 #WhoPoisionedMyBaconSandwich

Connaught St, once the commercial heart of the west side of Athlone, Westmeath has experienced serious urban decline over several decades & now has largescale vacancy & dereliction issues. It requires a regeneration programme such as the Historic Towns Initiative #DerelictIreland #BuiltHeritage

Strolling down Grafton St earlier today, where Ruskin’s Venice meets Celtic Ireland (@ no.25) #History #Heritage #Architecture #Dublin #Ireland

“Krystal said that the most ‘sickening part’ of the incident was that people cheered when they were attacked and no one intervened to help.” Still a lot of work to do in #Ireland on #LGBTQ safety + acceptance - actually, just on human decency. I hope the two victims are back up on stage again soon🏳️‍🌈

from the other place. Three years ago...

🤦🏻‍♂️

Finally saw the “Words on the Wave” exhibition at the @nmireland.bsky.social yesterday. Two days left for you to do the same! And it’s free! #History #Heritage #Books #Ireland

Civic duty done ✅ Enjoyed the banter with the polling officer 😄😅

FYI @peterpaulrubens.bsky.social (Beautiful portrait 👌🏻)

Thanks for shout out Thomas Gould, Sinn Féin TD "It is worth commending @frankoconnor.bsky.social & @judesherry.bsky.social who have done trojan work on this" '... highlighting dereliction in Cork for the past half-decade in a social media campaign #DerelictIreland' - @corkbeo.bsky.social

I’d love to know if these were built and/or survive. What do they look like now? How have they aged? 🫣

Might be a bit of a hot take, but someone demanding a “culturally coherent” society is clearly culturally (and historically) illiterate 🙄

Paul was 21 and crossed the wrong people. His murder was absolutely brutal and plenty of people know who did it. The saddest part of this news story is the link in the middle to practically the same story last year. His family appealing as they have done continuously for 18 years now.

stop fucking replying to this about headphone jacks. i don't give a shit about if you have to figure out bluetooth. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE WATCHING A VIDEO AT ALL TIMES. JUST FUCKIN PUT IT DOWN. READ A FUCKIN BOOK OR SOMETHING

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

Gardaí investigating the murder of Paul Quinn have appealed for information on the 18th anniversary of his death.

Can relate 🤦🏻‍♂️ #History #Heritage #Art #Museum #MuseumNightmare

While I like the wrap, I'm glad I caught it during the build phase without the wrap on it....you can see the 'original' height (scaffold) and the current height simultaneously so it's clear how much it changed

Films: We need to hack a keycard, obtained by seducing one of the guards. We then need to drop in from the skylight after jumping from a plane, and dodge all of the lasers and traps, carefully switching the jewels for fakes that weigh the same to avoid tripping the alarm. Real life:

Love these! #History #Heritage #Ireland
