@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR 🏳️‍⚧️ www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

This is my 6th year posting this same message. Black Friday is a nonsense with often pretend discounts on stuff you probably don’t need. We’ll do as we always do at this time and increase the 1% of all income we give to Women’s Aid to 10% on web sales over the weekend. Fuck Black Friday. #speirgorm

I live in (what I think I'm correct in saying is) the most diverse constituency in the whole country - Dublin Central, D1 - *and* I'm old enough to remember what this place was like before significant immigration, and the idea that immigration hasn't been good for this country is fucking laughable

First TikTok sketch from a credit union re World Cup loans spotted…

Play off heart break awaits - for now the team has been built and Parrot’s national treasure status secured.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Troy Parrot x 3

🦜 again!

Someone needs to do subtitles for the ‘banter’ between Irish players and the Canadian goalkeeper yesterday. It was pure shithousery and not to be recommended example for the young but brilliant viewing. 🤣https://www.balls.ie/football/ireland-u17s-canada-world-cup-shootout-644382

This is why you should not eat nuts on a plane. A friends child went into anaphylaxis because of it.

I have scarring on my heart from that game. But the good news is we have to win the next one to get to the playoffs because when watching international football, the reward for doing your homework is another round of even more stressful homework.

😭 👋

Prepare ye now for the longest 30 mins in recent Irish football.

Didn’t think that it would be my eyebrow that would be raised first listening to @mcculld.bsky.social … sigh

I see it's time for me to make the point again that the poppy is a fundraising campaign for the Royal British Legion, a specific, mundane entity that is not exempt from scrutiny and does not own the concept of remembrance. You can read its 2024 accounts here: storage.rblcdn.co.uk/sitefinity/d...

And ministers stop propagating hate and misinforming on all platforms themselves?

Newest Independent Ireland councillor on how his views have not shifted since leaving the SocDems jrnl.ie/6868102 - in short he didn’t get selected for general election and left. And he supports Maria Steen.

Funny watching Paul Murphy and John Clendennen on RTÉ the other day. Clendennen keeps saying "we need a debate about migration" to which Murphy says "okay lets have a debate", and then Clendennen just keeps saying "we need to have a debate". Its very clear what Fine Gael are trying to do here!

The Inspector of Prisons has described conditions in Irish prisons as "inhuman and degrading" and says overcrowding has contributed to the increase in deaths in custody

Really REALLY important that everyone who enjoys #SpéirGhorm goes through these settings and toggles the switch to enable 'rude' posts. Tis a rare one of us who doesn't have a colourful tongue.

We need new voices analysing US politics in Irish media.

When he said that rich people were donating more money to anti-Mamdani campaigns than he was proposing to take from them in extra taxes... I felt that in my soul.

Mamdani in New York: "New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant" Me an immigrant in Dublin:

If An Post didn’t do anything to make itself commercially successful and expand its offering he and others would be moaning and pointing fingers. PS the Fastway business model was awful but the customer service was even worse.

Following the alleged arson attack on an international protection accommodation centre last week, I read all of the available 2025 inspection reports for IPAS centres. I found fire-safety concerns were raised in respect of more than 50 accommodation centres. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

‘’ We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us now it is something that we do.” - Mamdani in his victory speech… one of many lines you’ll be hearing from it

Turnout in the NYC mayoral election is the highest since 1993.

The stupidity of it drives me insane. Even if you take having a social conscience out of the equation which you must, because FF/FG, they would save themselves millions if they built social housing because they wouldn't have to pay out so much in HAP to private landlords.

The problem with housing is not building enough social housing, allowing vulture funds control and take over the market and property and land be hoarded. Thousands of houses in unfinished estates because FF screwed the economy etc etc etc. NOT asylum seekers, a very small number of people.

April: If we don’t get Housing right in seven months, we’re screwed. November: Housing crisis here until 2040.
