The Irish Times reported on Friday night, an hour after polls closed: "Historic low turnout in presidential election likely". When the votes were counted, it turned out turnout was actually up vs 2018.

Me when I wasn't planning to go to the pub but I've had a few cans at home

No need for that kind of language RTE

FF/FG will listen to the spoiled tally but what they’re going to hear and act on is “Be more racist”

Just so we're clear Jim O'Callaghan largely agrees with the mob at Citywest. Any punishment the state metes out will be for violence against Gardaí, not for violence against innocent people in an IPAS centre.

Had a rugby coach when we were 11/12 who was a drill seargant in the army. He had us crawling through half-iced over muddy puddles shouting 'there's n0 rain' at the sky. We lost so many matches.

so I rephrased it and tried again but it still didn’t go, and I did this ~20 more times and then the network sent her all the texts together.

Going to run for the presidency next time so that it’ll be reported in the national media that when I was 18 and a girl asked me to text her and I did, but the network was down and the text didn’t go…

The Snug Bar on Stephen Street sounds like the most chaotic pub ever. Everytime I pass just insane sounds from inside

For context. The spire is 120 metres tall. Some mad bastards done a serious job here. And the weekend all the Americans are in town for their stupid football game. Maith thú whoever you are. #Speirgorm

It's not enough that these people reap the benefits of multiple generations of wealth and social connections (look up both families), but the rest of us must remember to constantly tug the forelock, remember they're our betters, and refrain from even the mildest of ribbings.

She died free. Exiled from her homeland and her nation, but free. Long live Assata Shakur and long live the Black Liberation Army, past, present, and future 🟥🟥🟥🟥 ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ 🟩🟩🟩🟩

I wonder if anyone introducing automated meeting notes, summaries etc to their teams has ever also considered the truly radical, disruptive approach of... having fewer meetings. 🤔

POV: You are watching TV in 1994 as my grandfather tries to use the remote to increase volume but pumps up the contrast instead.

So Ebay Ireland has suspended our store, deleted all the listings which took us hours to photograph and post. We appealed, but to no avail. The shop is permanently banned from ebay Ireland and they will not give us a reason why. They will also keep all the money from the sales for 120 days or more

Simon Jordan's message to Kintaro: "You haven't the foggiest, grow up or shut up or both. Do us all a bleeding favour"

Nice opus bro, is that your magnum?

Saw Stephen Collins on the street today. Jarring to see the head without a headline crafted to spike my blood pressure beside it

Jack B Yeats should’ve got an Olympic rings tattoo

Fella on Newstalk to defend greyhound racing getting increasingly angry about Mercosur out of nowhere. "They're bringing in the beef with the angel dust into this country" "This is a debate about greyhound racing," says the host

I have another manager gripe (still a communist). This week I asked a group of staff to simply have a chat amongst themselves and nominate two people to attend a branch meeting. No reply for two days, and then when I sent a really stern email they came back to me with THREE name

Any given weekend you can turn on Final Score and see QPR losing by at least 4 goals but never going down

some absolutely mortifying commentary around that cmat album im afraid

The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.

Turned 40 two weeks ago and I've immediately gotten the two worst hangovers of my life the couple of evenings I've gone out since. Sometimes stereotypes are true!

There's a sanctuary in Meath that takes in often disabled cows and let's them live out their life happily but they're being evicted. If anybody has a few hectares and wouldn't mind cattle on them you should get in contact with them. It's heartstone sanctuary

Fella delivering furniture today was asking about some of the football stuff I've hanging up in my office. Then said he was a United fan but was too embarrassed to hang up anything in his at the moment. "Ah you should be safe enough this evening!", sez I. Oops!!

In these days where publications and commentators have memory-holed their claims about bombed hospitals it's good to see that The Phoenix published a retraction that wasn't mealy-mouthed.

And if I see Darren England again, I'm going to go apeshit. He was fully on the take.

You're thinking of "being 11", people are still doing that bsky.app/profile/migh...

Some hoor from Macroom did this ahhhahaha
