I bet MM is an poc ar buile over (rightly) being called out on this. He has spent so long couching issues domestically, relying on delay, deny, defend that he forgot the same strategy would not work at EU level, especially when the EU happily focus on Russia to distract from Palestine. #IrishPol

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

"'gold-plated' environmental laws"

🚨Emergency!🚨 #Brain injuries in children= life-changing, awful😔 “Doctors at the Dublin hospital say the rate of serious brain injuries they are seeing in children is unprecedented, describing it as an epidemic that is out of control. They have called for a total ban on e-scooter use.” #spéirghorm

These things are a fucking scourge and lethal for the kids who somehow get their hands on them. #speirghorm

We've moved past the point where this contrarian bullshit should be treated as a simple difference of opinion. This person is advocating for harm to others. To poison their water, to pollute their air, and to make their climate more dangerous. This person is extremely dangerous. #spéirgorm

Weird Ireland is hosting the #EUPresidency while also allowing aluminium mined in Ireland to be transported to the Russian war machine. #spéirghorm #IrishPol

I think it's time for Microsoft to not exist anymore.

Today is the 10th anniversary of King’s historic 2016 concert in London’s Hyde Park! Watch the full concert “Tapestry: Live In Hyde Park” on Carole King’s Youtube Channel. youtu.be/HOs9iFWgXUg

You know this heatwave? Get used to it This is how it is now because generations before us wouldn’t heed warnings about climate change Oh, and those data centers they want to build are are building? Yeah, that’s going to make this much much worse.

Yes l hate all the betting ads during the #FIFAWorldCup perhaps @albomp.bsky.social we could get around to doing something meaningful here…

#Sweden has put the drinking water of 300K people at risk, granting a 25 year #mining lease for #rareearths at #NorraKärr, by Lake #Vättern. The application features unproven technology ( #eudialyte has never been processed at scale) & no Environmental Impact Assessment. meta.eeb.org/2026/03/23/m...

Japanese media describe the worst outcome of aging hikikomori households as 親子共倒れ, "parent/child mutually assured destruction." These households often stay invisible until a crisis: unpaid rent, an abandoned home, or the death of a family member.

The ass-kissing Irish government is only holding the EU presidency for one day and already the EU are undermining the safety and welfare of its citizens in favour of tech billionaires. #speirghorm

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

about 65% of the Irish population live in a city or a town but there is evidently no rural interest so niche that members of FF-FG-SF will not pander to it the athletic youths / happy maidens thing still casts a long shadow, somehow

“The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.” Ireland Govt. self-sabotaging, complicit & country being devastated by #DataCentres AI takes water, power & land then spews out contaminated waste & pollutes our environment. Humans suffer at every stage yet we keep promoting it 🤦🏾‍♀️ #spéirghorm

This 👇 "I was shocked when all those 900 names were printed on the front page of the Examiner. I thought there would be an outrage,” she said. "Do Cork people not care? All those little children and young babies. And does the church not care?” #Bessborough www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/colu...

"Ireland is big tech’s lapdog – and that compromises its EU presidency" Does #Ireland 's dependence on global tech giants mean the country - which assumed the rotating EU presidency yesterday - can’t be trusted to chair vital #digitalsovereignty talks? #SpéirGhorm www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is every Irish Govt. decision, policy & practice devoid of #ClimateChange analysis? 🔥🥵☘️ “In housing, the ability to increase ventilation rates offers the greatest adaptive protections…features such as balconies are now necessities, not luxuries.…” #spéirghorm www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

All over the country, solicitors are removing themselves from the free legal aid scheme. It's causing thousands of cases to be adjourned, and is leaving victims and their families in limbo. Why is the govt so intent on dismantling this scheme? And why are they doubling down on causing chaos?

Martin practically falling asleep while responding is a good indication of how disinterested Fianna Fáil are in considering the chaos they've inflicted haphazardly. I have very serious concerns about the government's consistent attacks on people's access to justice. #spéirgorm

If companies can't run data centres without polluting our air and water, pushing up energy bills, abusing workers' rights, harming local communities or wrecking the climate – then they shouldn't be allowed to run them A safe climate and healthy environment are necessities – tech bro profits aren't

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.

The People's Review is a systematic review, powered by the people. “Sharing the findings of a review is a really important part the systematic review process…we want you to let us know how you would like us to share the findings of The People's Review.” #spéirghorm #Science #PeoplesReview

We're facing our third major heatwave since late May and the EU is considering weakening climate regulations so we can help data centers add to the climate disaster. Fuck this bullshit, just so a handful of TechBros can get rich. www.ft.com/content/2135...

Who knew?

“There is nothing fiscally responsible about balancing the budget on the backs of working people.” ZOHRAN says NYC’s budget shrinks the deficit by taxing the rich, not the working class. What a concept! (cc: @GovBillLee — Tennessee has one of most regressive tax structures😕)

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

Traveling as a temporarily physically disabled person is very eye opening. EVERYONE should be fighting to make places more accessible because it doesn’t take much for any of us to become disabled. Accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought.

AI execs want us to hand over our data, water, and energy—while we face potential job loss, high utility bills, and more. For what? So billionaires can keep cashing out? Nope. We need to tax AI and invest in people.

“..animal models with #Alzheimers -related #brain changes developed problems with cognitive flexibility MONTHS before they showed signs of memory impairment.” ‘Cognitive flexibility’ is the brain's ability to adjust behavior, learn new rules & adapt when situations change. #spéirghorm #BrainHealth

Horrifying! These Godless socialists just recklessly balance budgets, fund city parks, fix potholes, provide daycare & CO-OPs for low-cost groceries! And on top of that, THEY DARE TO LOWER CRIME!! When will the indignities end?

A smart city has nothing to do with artificial intelligence or sensors. A city is smart when children can walk and cycle freely and safely. Technology is only a bonus. 📸 Picture by @dutchcycling.nl

Ireland facing €13 billion bill for ambition to fail on climate targets - quite a headline for day one of Ireland's EU Presidency - hard for Minister to dismiss fiscal watchdog as "environmental fundamentalists" #spéirghorm www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

“It belies a secret, unchanged hatred for women, for children, for the people of Ireland. “What I and many other people are asking is very simple, a CPO, a compulsory purchase order, an investigation into the atrocities that happened there, an excavation of any remains that are there,” she said.”

Lets have a wee off the top of my head look at some of the Highlights of 'The RCC is at it again'. 🧵 12th Century : Pope Adrian 'gives' Ireland to Henry II of England. Now, while the Papal Bull 'Laudabiliter' is considered a later forgery, the 'gift' did occur. Why? Doctrine? Kinda. Money? Oh yes.

When I accessed emergency accomm in Cork in 2016 I met a number of women who had their babies in Bessborough. I also met a young woman only a few years older than me who was born & adopted from there. It is so shameful how the State has still not properly investigated what happened there #SpéirGorm

The Council for Civil Liberties are pushing boundaries with this case. The first class action lawsuit. #Speirghorm

They starved the babies, now we're gonna build apartments on the graves 🤯Ah Ireland. We really don't honour the dead at all. From 1922 to 1945 "..659 children died there. Marasmus - severe malnutrition-was a recurring cause of death." #spéirghorm #Bessborough www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Good morning 🌞 It’s the last day of pride month. Please celebrate accordingly!!!

Ireland is in a grim, coercive relationship with #BigTech. Disturbing cognitive dissonance & outright duplicity as Ireland hosts the #EUPresidency. "Ireland has not completed a single EU inquiry into Google or any of its subsidiaries in the 10 years since the GDPR..." #spéirghorm #IrishPol
