The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Wait is there really no exit poll? #Aras25 😭

Why are people still sending ‘Hey, how are you?’ slacks with no immediate follow up in the year of our lord 2025. You don’t care who I am, get to the point.

These were the Irish ones, both pre-euro, and pre-pre-euro notes. The older ones were very large and you felt properly wealthy if you had £20. The post-1993 ones were...okay, I guess, if you like that sort of thing.

Where are all of the “Irish patriots” now? Why aren’t they holding the same energy for these pricks? Interesting that they’re quiet when it’s their own. So I guess it’s okay for Irish men to inflict harm on women?

In years to come, many may ask how the world watched on as the people of Gaza starved.

A mate of mine is in Cardiff on work related jolly up to see Oasis.

Going back over old posts and I just want to say that my hairdresser now charges €300 for highlights and a cut. Toner is still extra. 😒

I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending…

Since all but one of the books I added sold, here’s a few more if you’re looking. #Books #BookTok #Reading #BuyMyShit www.vinted.ie/member/25695...

I read at such a rate that the books I own are threatening to become my new overlords. Have popped some up on Vinted if anyone wants to buy. www.vinted.ie/member/25695...

Does this mean we can all stop pretending the TV albums are actually better

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Did anyone actually get Lorde tickets? Sigh 😔

RIP Nick Miller, you would have loved the Pope being from Chicago

Reaching the stage of my illness where I’m going to be spending money on silly things.

The rats have chosen a new pope.

Is it a requirement for GP receptionists to be the rudest people you’ve ever encountered? I know they deal with a lot but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a polite one.

What a doll. 🥹 Postcard from my collection, mailed 1941.

Just spent €54 getting 3 pairs of trousers taken up… is this normal now? I feel like I’ve been swindled.

Why am I hearing so much about the “male loneliness epidemic” when I’m also seeing 39 year old men on dating apps saying that they’re still “figuring it out”?? My good sir, you’ve lived half your life. It’s not figured out now it never will be.

Bat, Literally Translated into English. Map by me

I won’t give anything away but someone on Twitter spoiled The Last of Us for me 2 years ago and now that I’ve seen said spoiler I’m even more mad.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

I went to the gym today because I’ve got no plans and found this in my locker after. How cute is this? 🥹🥹🥹

Jesus to Judas at the Last Supper

This is a genuine question. Surely the climate impact of using AI is similar to that of using the internet on a daily basis, if not less? I say this as someone who barely uses any AI tech, but curious as it’s an argument that gets cited a lot.

Asked a bloke to go for a drink yesterday, got ghosted. Then I got offered a threesome from someone else. Swings and roundabouts?

Chatting to someone on Hinge for my sins and he hasn’t asked me one question. Not a single one. So I’ve asked him is he allergic to them? Maybe he needs a clarityn

no big deal just eugene the pig getting some sunscreen applied as one does when sunbathing in the compost pile

He’s now looking AND sounding like Voldemort.

Just once I’d love to go up to one of those men who huff and puff so loudly in the gym, tap them on the shoulder and say “You know if it’s too heavy you might want to consider dropping the weight” and walk away. Full menace mode.

I’ve just seen a TikTok say long nails are a side effect of the patriarchy. Can we not have anything we like without it a bloody statement

I’ve been in the bus for 40 mins. I live in the liberties, I work on Pearse St. Why are we so bad at this?

I truly believe that barrel leg jeans have been sent to us by the corporate gods as to test to see if we’ll actually buy any old shite

As if we didn’t literally give lives to LEAVE IT.

Forgot it was Mother’s Day this weekend. You’d think after 3 years that realisation would stop feeling like taking a bullet. Alas.

all of it …

this is all i can think about when i see people on the internet saying they feel unsafe walking down o connell street

I’m a bit baffled by the people claiming GN was bullied into leaving social media. I looked at *a lot* of comments and nothing was hate filled. Not saying they don’t exist but it was mostly disagreeing with good reason. It was hardly a witch hunt. I had worse kickback on Twitter for far less.

A lot of people are reasonably very concerned that a well-liked comedian might be hurt by angry online comments, but are unconcerned that already piled-on and sometimes destitute immigrants might be hurt by false and alarmist online comments because they see the former as a person but not the latter

If you think Garron was getting it bad in his comments on TikTok you should see any Irish black athlete/creator or whatever being told they actually aren’t Irish!

If deleting all socials after spewing racist shite isn’t an admission of guilt idk what is

Truly, if people aren’t allowed “voice their concerns” around immigration then why am I always bloody hearing about those concerns?

Feeling justified that I never found that Garron No one bloke funny now.

Friends fear she’s doing her yearly re-watch of Insecure again.

The kids in the crèche across the road from my gaff are doing a St Patrick’s day parade in the estate 🥹☘️

Clearly, it is unacceptable to remind us that 2005 was 20 years ago, but this is quite fun

Is a kindle worth it? I’m not mad about supporting Amazon but the rate at which I read is expensive and also takes up a lot of space in my gaff. I have a library card but feel a kindle could be good for travelling too? Idk. I also prefer a real book so there’s that.

I forgot to post on International Women's Day because we took the day off, in the true spirit of the thing. But please, check out some of the incredible international women we publish! First up, Maggie Armstrong currently racking up rave reviews for her hilarious debut collection OLD ROMANTICS
