Real shame to see this narrative creeping in. Ireland has held the line so far largely because the mainstream has held the line. Evidence elsewhere in the world is that once mainstream elites start confecting narratives of "real, decent people" who feel far-right feelings, the door is kicked open.

Might just be the funniest crypto heist story to date 🤣

No. The only reason Mikey Martin is floating #Nuclear is because some business interests have told him to, #FossilFuel companies know they can only profit so much from renewables, so they need something to replace the grotesque figures they've robbed from pushing gas & oil. #Speirgorm #Ireland

The results of this poll are very strange. Focusing on renewables should be top, but for some reason lifting the ban and building a nuclear plant is more than 50%?

Tuesday evening sounds from Massy’s Wood. #nature #trees

Email from insurance company offering me a chance to win tickets to this: No ta.

Hegseth: Iran is the clear aggressor WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I am so fucking SICK of the lies. There was no problem until YOU ATTACKED IRAN you massive fucking BELLEND. Why hasn't someone in the USA done the decent thing for all of us yet?

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could visit the HSE's own website's info page for your local hospital's "A-Z of services" and actually find any information at all? Emergency appt tomorrow and I can't even find out where in the hospital to go. Anxiety off the scale if I can't plan ahead (AuDHD).

Hegseth: We expect the world to step up. The world: Well we kind of expected you to obey international law, but here we are.

The idea of Gerry fucking Hutch of all people calling for the liberty of others to be curtailed is not getting the scorn it deserves today. Can the Irish media wake the fuck up to itself and do the job of journalism, just for once?

Here's your attack on rural Ireland #spéirgorm

This is now what passes for “science” from the BBC. Hackneyed cliches, faux mystery, factually incorrect statements. 1. Archaeologists are, once again, “baffled” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Scotland Needs Clunge 🤣

"Save the babies, all life is precious..." Autism assessment? Fuck off will ya. Scoliosis surgery? Don't make me laugh, you're not getting that. Education support? In your dreams! Respite care so mammy gets a break? Now you're just taking the piss. Children only matter before they are born.

Watching a news item reporting Israelis are whining and crying about not being able to buy food since they started bombing Iran. Poor dears can't afford chocolate and have to focus on essentials. BOO FUCKING HOO. Get it right fucking roon ye.

Don't worry about that nuclear power plant, remember we're going to stop people launching legal challenges against it too 🙃

The Taoiseach wants consideration of nuclear. I made a programme that did that. Long story short: an Irish nuclear power plant wouldn’t generate any electricity until 2066 at the very earliest. Link at end of thread.

Executed #Onthisday 1916 for their part in the #EasterRising Willie Pearse, Ned Daly, Michael O'Hanrahan & Joseph Plunkett

18 year old cat has zero fucks left to give. She just walked across my forehead.

An interesting essay by educationalist Will Ellis - raising serious concerns about AI, with studies showing that cognitive engagement shrinks in direct proportion to the degree of AI assistance - with adolescent brains particularly vulnerable: reclaimchildhoodmedia.substack.com/p/the-cost-o...

Slightly diminish a film: Schindler's Post-It Note

I'm loving a mild and dry bank holiday Sunday, listening to various neighbours in the gardens behind my apartment, having fun. I might not be able to get out, but I can enjoy it from here. Would it be rude to shout "BANGER, TURN IT UP" oot the windae?

Jet Set Willy and the goddamn Banyan Tree which I just never had the co-ordination to jump through!

Love it when Verstappen fucks up. Makes my day. #F1

Staggering around Edinburgh in a drink and drug fuelled haze.

Love Colin Farrell's F1 love.

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

Last Tuesday I ate an item that has never caused issues before, this time it crippled my digestive system. Today I tentatively tried a combo that has always been fine and it's done me in again. The only safe thing left now is egg. Im just going to starve to death aren't I? 😭😭

My heart is broken. Alessandro Zanardi was a giant of a man. I haven't been this upset to lose someone I never met in a long time. Possibly would have met him in 2001, along with Tony K, Dario etc, but his accident was the weekend before. RIP champ.

New zero tolerance policy. If your website asks me to pay to deny cookies, or says there are cookies I cannot reject, I'm fucking myself off in the opposite direction. Nothing you have to say is important enough to strong-arm me against my will. Fuck you.

Sad to see yet another vehicle donated to a disability service plastered with name of the service and donating organisation on the outside. Why do disabled people have to be publicly identified as recipients of charity when going about our daily lives? Why do donors ask and service providers allow?

"Alex Dunne has good form in the wet." Well of course he does. He's Irish! #F2

Turned on the Celtic match and the first face I see is Dougie fucking Ross. 🤮

Trying to think what is left to say about a country that is currently laser-focused on destroying the chances of the only Jewish political party leader it has by relentlessly calling him antisemitic while also publishing cartoons of him looking villainous with a big hook nose.

If you're in any doubt about the state of healthcare in Ireland... the screenshot is from the HSE's website. (Link in Alt) I have now lost 32.5% of my weight since last September. (Yes, I was very heavy, mostly thanks to psychiatric meds.) Guess what my GP is doing about it. No, go on, guess...

Just discovered my TV service has a new 24/7 Schwarzenegger channel. I may never be seen again.

Its like climate chaaaaange On your Grand Prix day I'd tell the sponsors But they've already paid

#Onthisday 1916 the executions in the aftermath of the #EasterRising began on the morning of 3 May with Patrick Pearse, Thomas Clarke and Thomas MacDonagh being shot by firing squad at the Stonebreaker’s Yard in Kilmainham Gaol.

This is why you should always stand up to bullies. Failing to do so means they’ll just keep coming back for more. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I think I'm good at spotting AI text, but I suck at the pics.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!
