Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

Three Irish citizens among activists detained as Israeli forces seize flotilla ships, organisers say. Thinking of Sarah Clancy - all eyes on the flotilla #speirgorm jrnl.ie/6832196

Everything I know about Enoch Burke, Conor McGregor, Maria Steen (and countless others)... I know against my will. They are constantly driving the national narrative. So much of our media is dominated by a format of asking "Does this dipshit have a point?. We'll discuss for 3 weeks".

You can hate Kneecap as much as you want but you have to admit they are really good at running laps around people getting angry at them

I've no idea how much new cars cost, but I imagine if a male candidate insisted on being photographed with 2 2015 Toyota Corollas he owns, it might be commented on

everyone should take three hours out of their day and watch THE LEOPARD, a total masterpiece of a film. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

New episode up on mixcloud now

"Charlie Kirk gave me the courage to be more transphobic" is a wild thing to put in a both-sides hagiography www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

It’s not just about the death of journalists in Gaza. It’s about the death of journalism in the West. And each cowardly journalist drove a nail into that coffin. I got a bit heated on today’s #EchoChamberPod, but I stand over every single word.

UK Guardian showing more sympathy for the speak and spell than it ever has for transgender people

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

The UK Government seeks to criminalise an Irish citizen for spending her country's legal tender in said country, to support a cause that mirrors those of her predecessors. And they're the supposed adults in the room? #spéirghorm #ireland

Starting to wonder if I missed the bit in the 2024 Labour manifesto where they committed to an all-out war against Irish artists.

It looks like the UK government just warned one of our most successful novelists that she will be arrested if she enters the UK. Ireland will be fine as long as we have Sally Rooneys to balance out the John Boynes.

Another metaphor would be Mica blocks, the result of government trusting capitalists to carry out their own safety checks with a shrugging "what's the worst that could happen?"

It's very telling that the far left refuses to support huge pieces of shit who everyone hates

John Boyne has been forced to decide whether he wants the ego validation that comes from siding with the anti-trans brigade, or the ego validation that comes with award nominations. And he chose both.

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today” #TransRightsAreHumanRights @independent.ie

the anti zohran mamdani coalition gains yet another close friend and associate of jeffery epstein

You can blame online misinformation all you want, but as long as you have a justice minister boasting about deportations, and far right groups are setting up stall outside schools to harass foreign students and parents to little pushback, no misinformation is needed for the racists to do their thing

I did a chat with @learnandsing.bsky.social for #GreatIrishAlbumsRevisited to mark @needlemythology re-issuing my 1992 album for Setanta Records out on June 27th. #needlemythology @petepaphides.bsky.social #SetantaRecords soundcloud.com/paulmcder/th...

Roth is Zionist slime.

lol ABC News just fired Terry Moran when these people pretend in 10-20 years that they did their best to stop what's happening during the press tour for their memoirs feel free to ignore them

This WSJ story about the decline in search traffic because of AI summaries is so grim. Every single outlet spent 15+ years contorting their coverage to cover the same things as everyone else trying to grab SEO, only for Google to rugpull them, just like social networks did. tinyurl.com/bdpzc399

dumbest coworker in every office in shambles today

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore

It is truly unbelievable how much this looks like Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau teamed up to make their own Mission Impossible.

I couldn't take a tour with Brendan, the whole time I would just be asking about the tumour on his neck. Have you seen a doctor Brendan? A specialist? What did he say it was? Have you tried Comfrey oil Brendan, it worked wonders on my uncle's goiter

Terfs love doing 5-10 mins of paperwork & admin every time they need to take a piss

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

“We need a Democratic Joe Rogan” Well here’s an example of an incredibly popular entertainer that was already liberal coded making her most significant foray yet into politics and the Democrats want to shut her down for articulating views held by 70% of Americans

'Forgetting that the British Army shot Irish civilians is sort of like forgetting that they were ever here at all. Like giving a speech about the ancient pharaohs and saying: “Well, at least they never built the pyramids.”' This week's Surrealing on Bono, Crowe, Mullooly and the Corminator.

Is it wabbit season already?

Same argument used with native Americans and colonized people around the world “You aren’t using the land to be as productive as possible so that makes it mine or it’s bad you have it” Terra nullius shit

It's mad they've spent $6 billion but it looks exactly lake a pay-what-you-want ambient drone bandcamp only release

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad
