I got this dodgy box from the local sacristan, and it’s got that new movie, with Ryan Gosling in it. Project Holy Mary Mother a God. Can’t believe my luck. #speirgorm

Ceasefire in Iran - normal service is resumed. Trump and his moll trying to suggest they’re not involved with child rape and sex trafficking.

Kinda fascinating to listen to Michael Healy Rae, a petrol station owner, Agri. contractor, government minister & richest man in the Dail™️ tie himself up in knots trying to sound reasonable but basically cow towing to everyone. He’s such a snivelling fraud. #speirgorm

Who is funding the fuel protest's online campaign. www.thebriefing.ie/who-is-fundi...

Blame Ryan Tubridy's granddad, Todd Andrews, who made sure Ireland's rail network was not only decommissioned, but the tracks dug up so it could never be recommissioned. Car culture was injected forcibly into Irish life in a way that can't be undone.

Anyone checked in on Sinn Fein today to see how they’re doing? We last saw them on stage at the “fuel protest” yesterday with far right parties Aontú and Independent Ireland. #speirgorm

As reported on @virginmedianews.bsky.social at 12:30: Government fears one major retail fuel operator will have empty tanks nationwide as early as tomorrow, if ongoing blockades of fuel depots are not ended. A source said this was “unconscionable” when Ireland does not have an actual fuel shortage

Some people needed to hear these champions of the common man calling a TD a left bastard...

The "they should call in the army" crowd's irony sensors are in overdrive.

All I hear is “these guys don’t represent us” Meanwhile all the big groups who traditionally represent farmers, hauliers etc are distancing themselves. So ask these guys, who are your representatives? Or maybe, find out who is the facebook admin? #speirgorm

I wonder will the usual suspects setup a camp now at Dublin port with a fire and bag o cans, claiming to be on the side of tractors and trucks? #speirgorm

Thing is, those tractors blocking O'Connell Street ARE a climate change protest, it just so happens the protesters don't believe in climate change and so they are protesting against their perception that too much is being done to mitigate against it (that "too much" being a modest carbon tax).

Seems like Irish-far right, the Anti-vaxxers & the conspiracy theorists have now teamed up over fuel protests, same playbook as on the continent in '23. isdgermany.org/die-bauernpr...

Tom McDonnell also believes the world is run by a cabal of Jews I've heard him in far right X spaces telling people to take photos of young people's graves to use as "proof" that vaccines kill, and also discussing how he would like to overthrow the government www.crimeworld.com/sundayworld/...

@paulmurphy.pbp.ie wanted to join fuel protests, but then it descended into the usual far right talking points, showing that like immigrant protests of recent years it wasn’t about fuel or people’s livelihoods - it’s the same ol’ racist crew hopping on a bandwagon. #spiergorm

Wouldn’t ye love the irony that these protests led the way to even more vehicles being removed from cities and more areas only being open to pedestrians and specialist vehicles.

Did he go? Surely an under secretary would be beneath a cardinal?

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

I see the Irish Nazi’s are out supporting the fuel people as well. It’s almost as if it isn’t just about fuel …….

Fun to see all the reactionary elements the government has spent years stoking in order to destroy any chance of a united opposition to the housing crisis turning on the government because of the fallout of a war the government refused to really condemn. Politics eh?

The European Union continues its essential support for Israel.

I mean the tractor people are technically (far) right when they blame foreigners for the rise in fuel prices. If you want us to have sympathy maybe stop letting absolute window lickers speak on your behalf. Blockade the US and Israeli embassies, the real cause of the fuel rise. #speirgorm

I’m great with protests, but you have to inconvenience the people who can do something about it or bring their attention to it. Motorists on the N4 weren’t it. Why didn’t they blockade the US & Israeli Embassies or US & Israeli businesses? Saying that we should cap fuel prices longer term #speirgorm

I am curious how much actual sleeper cells and tech Iran have in continental US.

I found out recently that the "death to America" thing is intentional mistranslation, and the phrase would more accurately be translated as "down with America" which of course sounds way less extreme. Anyway death to America.

Oh.

We should adjust language so these are never confused. “The far side of the Moon” - The bit of the Moon we can’t see from Earth. “The Dark Side of the Moon” - a seminal Pink Floyd Album. There are too many stupid people that take “Dark” literally when the terms are used interchangeably. #Artemis

I think it’s only right & proper that all the flat earthers, conspiracy loons and photography experts meet up on Spacex’s twitter platform to be really thick about the Artemis 2 mission.

Israeli 🇮🇱 Journalist is openly calling for genocide of Iran people Shimon Riklin –– "It is time for Israel to use an atomic bomb on Iran" "Why aren't we using a neutron bomb in 🇮🇷 Iran? It is a type of atomic bomb that doesn't damage buildings, it kills people"

Indiana Jones is basically James Bond. The gadgets are replaced with traps. JB wears tuxedos & drinks martinis - Indy has his field clothes, hat & drinks whiskey. Both have supernatural (Indy - mythology, JB physics defying) Both involve elaborate government plots & exotic destinations. #speirgorm

Schindler’s Datum

I’m beginning to think he’s dragging the FIFA Peace Prize into disrepute.

It’s kind of amazing how the US has completely flipped European attitude to China from “oooh scary communists” to “oh hey baby, you seem smart & sexy, wanna do a Eurovision?”

USA 2026: We are launching student digs towards the moon. 2027: Elon is involved woo hoo! 2028: Bezos in the house & on the moon! China 2026: We’re gonna have a moon base by 2040. ESA: Pats US on head - there, there. China 2035: with our partners in ESA, Canada & Australia we have a moonbase.

Papillion on RTE 1 - never seen it - totally invested now.

Priests totally do the the og Autotune by just varying their voices up and down wildly without a care like a shit Enigma You don’t need to be a good singer or orator. Notes and talent don’t matter. Making it sound pious is all that counts. Kinda fascinating. #speirgorm

Gosh - I stuck on the live spellcasting on RTE. I’d love to know viewership numbers? Do they do a movie night livestream in churches? Do they do watch parties & sleepovers & so on? I’m genuinely curious how many people this sort of thing caters to. The long silences with coughs! #speirgorm

Ironically she has no sex based rights with three men she is unrelated to in a space 5 times smaller than most 1 bed apartments. And yet the terfs are quiet….. do they not care about a women trapped in a large minivan outside any conceivable legal jurisdiction? #artemis

It’s what happens when you start wars and ignore climate crises you moron

@darach.bsky.social s’funny how things come along in twos - I don’t think much about school days (I’m ‘logue”) then you mention Eanna & more darkly I am listening to this and remembering what an impact this had at the time on Ballyroan and the surrounding communities.

Again a question never asked of Maria Steen, but still valid because she makes such a virtue out of being a homeschooler (good for her, not everyone has the choice) However, if she had successfully become President, how would she have been President & a homeschooler? #speirgorm

The only reason Maria Steen isn’t divorced from reality is she doesn’t “believe” in either of them.

Maria Steen writing about the gender pay gap is like a cat writing about dog food. #speirgorm

Has Maria Steen weighed her child yet? We can’t be far off now. She is basically Breda O’Brien 2026. Nonsense trad wife fluff but said in a posh way that gets the Jesus people all horny. #speirgorm
