HOW IS THIS NOT PARODY

There is room in me to look at Irish citizens living abroad who keep their passport renewed - however, I really think we need to resolve the absolutely, deeply unfair practice of excluding Irish citizens in the 6 counties who can run for President, but can’t vote. They are not living abroad.

@dailigh.bsky.social To be displaced is to lose the map of who you were. In Gaza, we wander through camps and ruins, carrying memories heavier than our bodies. Each step whispers of what was stolen: safety, schools, family, tomorrow. we still need your help to survive 🙏🏻💔

I have to say Peadar Toibín has been the most fun for me so far in a presidential campaign where I am voting for Catherine unless we find out she eats babies. Here is a brief Simpson’s video to explain Peadar’s performance on media this past week: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRq1...

This was worthy of a video showing the child happily playing with the footballs.

The worst transphobes will get exercised about people’s pronouns, but when it comes to an AI “actress” or their car, they’ll have no problem referring to it as she.

I see the US has invaded Portland.

In terms of excluding socially conservative views from public life, we've all heard as much from socially conservative presidential hopefuls in the past few days as we've heard from the currently sitting president all month.

Ben Lowry rightly suggesting the Brit card proposal plays into nationalism hands, well duh. But this is not a bogeyman of nationalism’s making, and it has been called the brit card by the British government and media all week. This is a very bigoted assertion to try & blame nationalism.

So 41 complaints over half a decade, 32 from Peadar and 11 ended up donating after it was explained why anyway, leaving between 20-30 in 5 years to make up the anti-trans article quota for the indo this Sunday. F U C K OFFFFFF!!!! www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

Steen’s behaviour post failing to convince people to nominate her, has shown her to be an entitled narcissist & the behaviour of her supporters - this is not presidential - at least in this country. The nation dodged a bullet.

Honestly, these people can't take a dozen or so posts from randomers making fun of them and they're crying about vitriol and abuse yet they're the ones actively campaigning to remove rights from people. Also the bag is rank

It’s tokenism so they can point to it when people say ICE is a paramilitary organisation with no oversight. US is already lost and this guy will be back at work brutalising women & children when the fuss dies down. Don’t be fooling yourselves that mobile phones & social media are going to help.

Everyone is inhabiting parallel realities with regards to Catherine Connolly's campaign. Heather Humphreys has received zero scrutiny or criticism so far. Jim Gavin is actively working to lose the election. Imo thats where we are at after the first days of the real campaign. This doesn't bode great

Just watched Neverending Story with my eternally cynical teenagers & they loved it because it’s a great story, but were typically cynical about the “meaning” For me, Bastion is Atreyu, Empress his mam & the Nothing is his grief, defeating all his hopes & fantasies. Great movie to be fair.

I guess the UN is anti-semitic now as well, huh?

And what is it with paid youtube videos to show how functionality works? Give me the full language and usage for free with a few working examples and I’ll be grand like. Don’t make me wade though a 5 fooking minute video with 4 sets of paid ads where the nugget I need is briefly mentioned at 4:29

Just starting to use Power Automate - I see a huge benefit to some simple stuff I need a cloud to do. But what is it with the inaccessible language and logic (I’m a more traditional python, shell coder). It certainly doesn’t make it simpler. It’s almost as if MS are trying to monetise jargon. 🧐

Tony Blair appointing himself Resident-General of Gaza is surely the end of his villain arc.

What are the chances these sweatshirts are made in a chinese sweatshop?

A really great response canvassing for Catherine Connolly last night in Kilnamanagh. People see the clear benefit of a President who will speak out with our values on housing, neutrality and Gaza instead of a FF/FG President who will just nod along with the government.

You’d like to credit Tony with a huge amount of prescience - but they are in fact this predictable.

He stabs her if he doesn't cum

To understand Steen's demographic, you have to realize there are people who think a working-class blue-haired barista on minimum wage is the Establishment, while upper-middle-class professional Catholics of multi-generational wealth are the oppressed disenfranchised politically homeless.

Who Said It? Jesus Christ Or Charlie Kirk? https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2025/09/22/who-said-it-jesus-christ-or-charlie-kirk/

His history seems compelling and is partly verifiable, although a lot if his interviews seem somewhat embellished. and then he sort of goes nuts. Here's the details of a 2024 court case involving his company RIO (Restoring Integrity to the Oeans), which he lost, that may be of some interest.

I would not be shocked to learn that he's an AI that went rogue. And by 'rogue' I mean they lost the admin password.

A little thread on the man who claims to have explosive information on Jim Gavin, Míchael Martin, The GAA, the gards without providing a single shred of evidence. Normally you’d dismiss a profile as simply an online troll, but ….. read on.

Iona members always look like the villains who spend the entirety of a kid's movie trying to demolish an orphanage to make room for their casino only to be foiled by a ragtag group of children and their talking dog

Little known fact this particular handbag has a special food friendly pouch for when your pal, the eucharistic minister, slips you a few extra haunted crackers of a Sunday morning. #speirgorm

Steen, Sheridan, McGregor et al had YEARS to do the work but they didn't, preferring instead to hurl from the ditch and then blame the referee. They are not serious political people. They are a bunch of staggeringly entitled pick-mes, and the system worked as it should to weed them out. #speirgorm

Hermes bag: 20k Documented donations to the Iona Institute from far-right groups like the Novae Terrae Foundation: at least 25k? The grassroots desire for an alternative voice: priceless

Someone else sent me a screen grab where it’s available for the comparatively knockdown price of €8,531

I’m not one to kink shame, but *mic distortion* Clean up on Aisle 3.

www.irishtimes.com/opinion/mari... - oh this is a real gem from Maria Steen - so much will come out in the wash if she makes into the ballot!

In fairness for Kimmel’s first night back, it’s not as if dead internet troll Charlie Kirk, Nazi Stephen Miller, man with a cuckoo living in his head RFK and the lunatic delusional dementia patient in charge, haven’t given him enough material.

Probably a good time to remind people that autism is the vanguard condition that joins trans people & immigrants in Project 2025’s dehumanisation. This is the beginning of purging people they see as having no value or against opponents Nazi’s had a program called Aktion T4 which was the end game.

Gareth Sheridan has bowed out. He won’t be running for President. #Aras25 *hunger games cannon sound*

This whole "Ireland needs a right wing presidential candidate" and "I'm being prevented from running" thing is funny because you only need 20 Oireachtas backers. You couldn't get 20 people to like you. Sounds like a skill issue tbh. #aras25

I like that our GRA law brought in, in 2015. Also spells grá if we whack a wee síneadh fada on the end there. Over 1,000 adults have benefitted from being able to change their gender without any series issues being reported. Over 1,000 happier humans. It’s just a shame kids can’t avail of it too.

A typical photo of Irish ProLifers: Old white Christian men, intent on forcing women back to the role of subdued, obedient breeders. With no say in what happens to their own bodies nor lives. Wake up and smell 2025 FFS 🤬🤬🤬

Every country in the world is undermining the prospect of peace, except Israel, and it's bought and paid for puppets in the USA www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Gen V S2 opens with such a bang - shame it is basically funding fascism. I am funding fascism while watching anti fascism satire - can someone explain 2025 to me?
