An impassible wrinkle in the 'Israel is blackmailing Trump with the Epstein files' theory is that the worst allegations are already all but confirmed and his support base evidently do not care

Actual fifth columnist stuff from Mark Rutte going onto U.S. Regime News to tell them Europe is “on a massive scale supportive of what the President is doing" in Iran www.politico.eu/article/spai...

The european public are displaying unprecedented unity in crying out for leadership that will stand up to American belligerence and somehow we don’t have a single national leader whose name isn’t Pedro Sánchez interested in the popularity layup

whole of Ireland yesteday walking around wondering why they're in a strangely uplifted mood despite everything, have I been eating different? exercising more than usual? then you remember its the first time you've seen the sun in months

feel ominously meaningful that there's an astonishing lack of alarm among the loudest supposed champions of international law and diplomatic norms while the notable sceptics are all freaking the fuck out

most Irish people have no cause to think of Jews at all but we have a very small faction who have gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole and think about us *a lot* to the point there's a real physical risk should any of us encounter them

Irish government policy is to make us more reliant on foreign energy like LNG, while paying out tens of billions of euros in fines for failure to meet climate targets. Moving to renewables is the only way for Ireland to develop its own sustainable, sovereign energy source. #speirgorm

Some of you could stand to take a breath and ask yourself the following: Does the existence or extent of antisemitism in Ireland affect in any way the fundamental questions of justice and humanity that undergird the Palestine cause?

"Oh you're a newly qualified accountant? Would you like to live in a walled compound, where they let you drink, and launder money, and pay no tax, and have an enslaved domestic servant you literal fucking demon?"

no regrets

Could we get this for Ireland too, please

There is unfortunately a lot of explanatory power in assuming the Trump admin is staffed entirely by people incapable of second order thinking

American officials and boosters are all talking like they're the first empire in history to figure out you can get short term wins by breaking treaties and betraying allies

last sane man in british politics and they're gonna defame him to hell for it

supposedly professional journalist arguing its good that the school was struck but also it didn't happen but *also* also if it happened it wasn't our fault it would get a lot of people real worked up if I said what this reminds me of

"Operation Roar of the Lion" it's so undignifiying that real people are dying in a military strike named by Joffrey Baratheon

Remembering that we're stuck with Kaja Kallas until November 2029

if the public statements of our most senior EU diplomat were your only information source you'd have no idea the strikes against Iran had even happened, much less that they were an unprovoked act of aggression that killed 85 after hitting a primary school

thinking this over more the objective may literally just be to make sure the world knows they can indiscriminately murder any sovereign leader they want

not liking the theocracy or even wanting it overthrown is one thing but I really struggle with the perspective of anyone taking active joy in watching this obvious humanitarian disaster unfold

"Oh hey is that an anti war protest already that was fast – oh wait no"

If true (no reason to believe the sourcing) they torched the last shreds of international relations and got a bunch of civilians killed to get an 86 year old on the verge of death or retirement

I don't think its an unreasonable ask that the Irish government at least unilaterally rule out allowing the U.S. to use Shannon for further attacks on Iran

"Operarion Epic Fury" world's largest military in the hands of a bunch of reckless juveniles

Please sign, send onto people, and share on social media! We need to turn off the toxic algorithms that effect all of us, but especially children. Our bill will be brought to the next stage of the Dáil on Wednesday March 4th, with TDs likely voting on it THAT NIGHT. my.uplift.ie/petitions/tu...

the left has a bright future under the gentle guidance of lib-left Islamic Cosmopolitanism

girl your party got less than 2%

I am typically willing to give leeway on seemingly antisemitic linguistic slips, for instance I don't like people throwing around 'zio' but accept how one could easily infer it as a simple shorthand for 'zionist.' I do not believe such leeway can or should be given to "the goyim are waking up"

Craziest new thing I learned at the Rula Nasr-Mazzawi talk tonight is that when Palestinians in Israel have their homes forcibly destroyed they still have to keep paying the mortgage on it

Not really a fan of my emerging role as America's Sin Eater

The British Museum has quietly removed the word ‘Palestine’ from maps, information panels and galleries, after lobbying. www.newarab.com/news/british...

Carl Sagan wrote something to the effect that Scooby Doo is more realistic than The X-Files because everything turns out to have a non-supernatural explanation. (Full paragraph in alt-text.)

Reading this hit for me as I'd just learned a friend's DJ gig was cancelled cus one of the other acts was put on a dox list for a Charlie Kirk joke and the venue got so many threats they had to shut the whole thing down (yes this happened in Ireland)

An Arab nation wouldn't put up with XL Bully breeders for a single day I can tell you that much

This is what they wanna do to you for failing to stand and salute when We Are Charlie Kirk is playing

None of you understand the struggle of being a reader with no ass

Theodor Herzl invented the Jewish Exodus story in 1897 to steal valour from the people who really built the pyramids - Irish slaves

"Fascist mentality is the mentality of the 'little man,' who is enslaved and craves authority and is at the same time rebellious.

Come on Ireland, sign! For these ECIs to work and be considered by the European Commission, 7 EU member states must meet their threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are now at 8,951, 88 8%. No more EU-Israel Agreement for the apartheid state. #SanctionsNow eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

In 2015 in London my then-girlfriend was approached by a man with an very posh accent. He asked her about herself, complimented her intelligence, then asked if she wanted to go to college, if she could afford it, and whether he and his 'friend' could help her

Ffs Gary there's gonna be a whole news cycle over this leftinthelurch.net/2026/02/01/a...

my first article of the year is about how Alan Shatter is not in the Epstein Files, obviously, despite a circulating hoax claim to the contrary leftinthelurch.net/2026/02/01/a...

On a lighter note the demeaning self flagellations over how no modern gamer would put up with Morrowind are quite funny to me as someone who recently played it for the first time and came away with the unexpected conclusion that voice acting in video games may have been a mistake

Is there a book that meets the current moment? Not something that caught on to some number of the specifics, a baser theoretical work that correctly intuits the import and violence of patriarchal systems of dominance and abuse

personally think we'd all be better off just accepting the linguistic ambiguity of the word 'Holocaust' as referring interchangeably to either the 6 million Jews or 11+ million other victims (which I would even expand further) but sadly ambiguity has perhaps never been in lower demand

Ireland gets a lot more stick for its reasonable WW2 neutrality than its genuinely shameful refusal of Jewish refugees because so many of the groups taking shots at us have nothing but contempt for both the victims and survivors of the Shoah
