Politico have a piece about how the traditional centre right EU EPP grouping are now doing business with the far right. As Fine Gael are members of the EPP - Simon Harris should be asked about aligning his party with and cosying up to far right neo-nazis. www.politico.eu/article/epp-...

Maybe if Simon stopped acting like a petulant child when criticised or dog whistling at the far right, he might be more popular. This guy is too immature and populist to be the next Taoiseach.

The Irish government's conception of being "good Europeans" and "pulling our weight" on the International scene apparently precludes military neutrality but apparently does not preclude ending support for refugees of the war in Ukraine

@news.rte.ie failing to mention all the corruption scandals Denis O'Brien is involved in sure was a choice they made.

RTE needs to repay staff what they acknowledge they stole from them before id call them reputable, tbqhwy

Interesting RTE late debate lists Whatsapp and Bluesky as ways to get in touch - is twitter now application non grata with reputable, credible media? #latedebateRTE

This is how transphobia is only the tip of the iceberg. Graham Linehan, protecting women & girls by being racist while defending Epstein’s best pal, the paedophile President. He’s also hopped on the Zionist bandwagon recently, presumably for cash, but this says it all really.

This is an easy one - take all their money off them.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

There's quality in the country yet.

Happy Walking Circulatory System In The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

That's a peach coming from David Quinn who once wrote the following article about the homeless.

Everyone wants to be called senior in work but no one wants to be called senior outside of work.

I see the right wing UK press are doing their poppy cult thing. It’s amazing how obsessed these gobshites are about symbols, flags and sashes. Nothing positive is produced or achieved.

Are there still plans to go to Mars? I feel like all that just vanished suddenly.

This guy is a twit, but he’s a powerful twit. I love how people like him (and we see same in some British politicians) are scared of a little anglophone Island on the north west of Europe. We scare them, we show them how life can be better while also suggesting we can be better. #speirgorm

Ah was wondering if we’d have some Bluesky fun today & not let Treyvaud roasting on Twitter have all the craic. #speirgorm

Can someone explain the Independent Ireland racist folks to me? Are they all Independents who are members of a party?

Watching the new fantastic four movie & the Thing suggests “As my old man used to say, if you don’t know what to do, pick up a shovel” & it’s such anglo American propaganda. If you don’t know what to do ….. pick up a book.

hi everyone i made this picture for this web site blue sky dot com i hope you all like and/or enjoy it xoxo jeff

Are people still going to try to deny the existence of a campaign of far right terror in this state? #RejectTheFarRight

I think we’re at the point where, if a person gets refused something because of AI, they should be allowed blow up a data centre

“An older paper” suggests if we measure someone’s skull or determine the amount of melanin in their skin, that recruiters may be able to tell much about a person. Seriously, this is flat eartherism for HR and it’s fooking scary that pulp fiction like the economist is even entertaining it.

LOL the influencer who decided to promote "HotgirlsforCuomo" forgot to register for the website domain so someone else did it for her. See what it links to now 😀 hotgirlsforcuomo.com

Look at the negative framing of this. We elected a President we can all be proud of in a historic landslide vote. What’s wrong with: “Why did FF & FG get it so wrong …… again?” Fook off RTE.

We don’t live in a democracy in the West, we haven’t for a long time. The uber rich have control over what gets done. Even if you vote for your guy, they can heavily influence election to stop him, or if he does get in, they’ll use money - to coerce, bribe or prevent any change. It’s an illusion.

We really need a channel 4 style investigations and news department

90% of the anti-Mamdani remarks today think this is a documentary:

Watching Inglourious Basterds again, & it really is joyous to see Nazi’s being killed, we should do more of that in 2025.

I'm an atheist, but by God, I'm a Catholic atheist. I refuse to not believe in that bloody protestant God!

I heard Cal Thomas, a supposed serious commentator, quote the ridiculous, childish statistic that 1,000,000 would leave NY if Mamdani won on @mattcooperlastword.bsky.social The man’s hyperbole has gotten really bad in last few weeks as Trump has consistently painted him into a corner.

Anyone else gonna stay up to see the first results come in or na - wait till the morning #newyork

I had the pleasure of knowing Sister Stan for many years through my work. She had more humanity in her fingernails than David Quinn and his I Own A Institute pals put together #speirgorm

Dick Cheney had his first heart attack at 37 ….. it’s a shame it wasn’t his last.

Jesus Christ* *Terms and conditions apply.

He should have died in The Hague.

We should create a new word for nothing that exists in space time. People get awful confused that nothing means the absence of anything or something.

All Jimmy Wales had to do was let Grokipedia become the sesspool that Musk was gonna make it, he’s like Meidas, but shit instead of gold. But no, Wales like all other techbros had to wade in with his deeply flawed analysis & basically agree with Musk while undermining Wikipedia jfc.

Hobbits were the heroes of the story, that ultimately ended Sauron. Just bizarre that Musk would see them as an analogy for weak people. The man is not well.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It’s clear that Paul Givan’s attitude to Irish, his refusal to integrate schools in the North and his Zionism and lack of empathy for innocents in Gaza marks him as an extremist. And Stormont thought it’d be a good idea if he was put in charge of education? He’s nothing but a loyalist extremist.

Here’s an interesting factoid I learned today. In marathon running there are three world records - a men’s record, a women’s record where they are in a mixed race and a women’s record where they are competing in a women’s only event. There is currently a 6 minute difference in the two women’s

We know the Catholic Church is a cult and we knew Opus Dei is an even more lunatic cult, but I hadn’t realised that they are Scientology or Branch Davidian level of cult before. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/f...

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal." Which is true for trans kids too.

The Governor of Barbados James Leith pronounced the following after suppressing a slave revolt and mass executing rebel slaves in the field (1816): “Slavery is not the institution of an particular Colour, Age, or Country; it has ever existed...”

Watching Thriller - the best thing America has ever done for the Celtic festival of Samhain. youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA?...

Whatever you think about AI and the current economics - we are in the cusp of another stage of dystopia, where corporations will become bigger than nations. This isn’t conspiracy or fantasy. They will shape employment, tax, health & safety law. Countries won’t be able to resist them.
