"be safe, be seen" as a national strategy for road safety is an absolute joke

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

This is everything. With the super majority you can actually undo Fidesz' constitutional takeover.

Hopefully our collective great minds can devise, executable ways to reduce and eliminate altogether, our dependence on fossil fuels. #spéirghorm

Curious why Melania Trump held a surprise press conference yesterday? Now it’s become clear. She was responding to close friend Amanda Ungaro whose husband introduced Melania to Trump, & is threatening to expose what she knows about Epstein, Melania & President Trump - who she called a pedophile.

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

Around half of the country's fuel supplies are now locked in terminals and at the Whitegate refinery due to protests, Fuels For Ireland has said.

Who's one of the main organisers of the Dublin fuel protest? ( If you want to protest about fuel price rises, do it outside the US and Israeli embassies) It's James Geoghegan, a racist, climate change denying bigot.

I fully support people's right to protest but I don't support far right bullshit pretending to be about farmers and hauliers and I can't recall another protest ever being allowed to bring the city to a halt for 36 hours and still going without any consequences whatsoever

Trump ramps up threats of massive strikes on Iran - as Democrats brand his rhetoric “unhinged”. Just this evening, Iran rejected ceasefire proposals, with tensions escalating and the Strait of Hormuz still closed. #VMNews

Murphy shouldnt have been on the pitch to score that goal. #spéirghorm

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Not liking this guy Ray on Tommy Tiernan. #tommytiernan

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

President Catherine Connolly: "... let us reflect on these solemn commitments which we have made in our nation’s Constitution and take every action we can to support the United Nations and all those working to build peace in a time when so many distort language to justify and normalise war."

Just spent 20 euro more to fill the car because of the epstein war.

Imagine being told you, your friends, loved ones and neighbours had to leave your home forever because of the increasing risk of extreme flooding. That's what's happened in Western Rwanda where deadly floods have hit hard and are likely to return. Our latest on the country's climate crisis.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

Once more: Omar El Akkad: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this." Bono: Have you heard my new EP

Rest in power, Virginia Giuffre. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Jesse Jackson RIP. "keep hope alive". Cant help recalling a certain drive from Killarney to Waterville! @marklittle.bsky.social @georgelawlor.bsky.social @fearghalob.bsky.social

Was it for this?....

Vogue Williams folks! Was it for this? #spéirghorm

Not a cinema goer, but went to Hamnet last night. Absolutely fabulous film. #spéirghorm

Study shows that Elon Musk posted "textbook examples” of white supremacist conspiracy theories on his right-wing X platform on 26 out of 31 days last month alone. An unhealthy obsession. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

You know that English, Corkman? Well can we leave him where he is please? #spèirghorm

Like Dominic Cummings, Morgan McSweeney helped deliver electoral victory but, in doing so, debased and subverted everything his party claimed to stand for.

Im afraid this Doctor is a charlatan. #tommytiernanshow

It is difficult to put into words how harmful such a move would be. Instead of slower speeds, enforcement of existing laws, and real, safe active-travel infrastructure, we are left with more deflection, distraction, and victim-blaming.

This is cycling in Copenhagen. No hi-vis. No helmet mandates. People cycle because it’s safe — by design. This is what cycling should look like. Ireland is moving in the opposite direction. Instead of designing safe places to cycle, we're blaming the people cycling...

Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video. 📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.

"Within minutes of Alex Pretti being shot and killed by a federal immigration officer, the Trump administration, backed by right-wing influencers, launched a smear campaign against the victim, labeling him a “terrorist” and a “lunatic.” www.wired.com/story/the-in...

"immigration crisis" "federal accounts challenged" The IT has no idea how to meet the moment

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

And a third one!

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

I could get very cross if it doesnt stop raining and this damn month doesnt end #spéirghorm

Why do I suspect that Newsom would sell out every principle if he became President of the USA. A heir Starmer type betrayal.

Report two on the real-life impacts of deepfake image abuse coming up on @virginmedianews.bsky.social. Today we hear from Lucy - whose harrowing story should serve as a wake-up call on the handling of this massive societal issue.

This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes. Crimes that stack up daily. Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

For the record: as of right now, the Grok app is still doing all the things they’ve said it is stopping, for users with free/unpaid accounts.

The world is doomed due to moral cowardice, is my mid- longest January ever-news.
