Take all the cars and trucks out of the city between the two canals permanently I say

Right folks as one of the few farmers on here let me explain something really simple. We're currently in the busiest time of year, calving & lambing is ongoing and crops need tending The awful weather means contractors are also flat out So how representative do you think this lad is? #speirgorm

If Ahern is even tangentially involved then they're guaranteed up to their fuckin *eyeballs* in corruption

Ahh the climbdown ramp. Ta Pakistan! Sound bunch of lads

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

"Trump is now raving like a murderous zealot, threatening nuclear war and the complete obliteration of the Iranian people. Moreover, he has the means to make good on this threat and no moral compass that would stop him." Read @patriciastephenson.bsky.social full statement: tinyurl.com/3pcvf8f2

That's a noose and a 'Hang them High' sign at a fuel protest, BTW

The “long con” versus “shifting priorities” and prerogative to change his mind on ethics here framing is *chefs kiss*. However, I’d sleep with one eye open from now on Ronan…

Cracking gardening afternoon

😳

Ragebait of the highest order. Ruadhán Mac Cormaic is a disgrace for publishing this Hermès-toting tradwife-larping harpy

Yes! Not partaking in a particular religion doesn’t mean no humanity, spirituality or empathy. Yup the atheists!

This is bloody good. And why we should value local government & local politicians. "It was Maureen who put roads policy & children’s policy together & made sure children with serious health conditions could be reached by ambulance when it snowed. And this is what politics can do: it connects."

Totally this. Too often we assume digital exclusion is about age. Well, the digital revolution was kicked off by people now 70+, grandma can probably manage an app if she can see the phone. We don't think nearly enough about digital exclusion caused by disability, affordability & language barriers.

It's time to repost this Easter masterpiece

Remember the lady in the penis costume who was tackled by cops at the October No Kings protests? Not only have they not dropped the charges, they've added new ones. Her trial is set for later this month. theintercept.com/2026/04/03/p...

Losers and girls. I like losers and girls. And humanity.

No wonder Dublin & Ireland are in a housing crisis. This part of Dublin is the densest part of the entire country and it only has 13,082 people per 1 sq km. This puts it 30th out of 38 countries in Europe. Full list: brilliantmaps.com/densest-n...

Had a wander round my old neighbourhood of Raval & San Antoni in Barcelona. Saudade.

The poetic rage in the phrase “comfortable soul” 🥰

I don't mind you liking Starmer, or disagreeing with me. What I WILL NOT STAND is being misrepresented as some kind of idiot herd animal who isn't informed, has no good reason & employs no logic, by some comfortable soul who remains blissfully unaware of all issues that do not directly affect them.

This is more of the bullshit that vexes me. In one way I am all for IGT and DOC etc when it protects small producers and ties communities and food cultures to place. However this is protectionism like the crapola of not letting a vegan protein tube be called a sausage. Fuck off.

Just yuk all round. I cannae utter how disgusted i am.

This guy is likely alloclae-ing himself and quite possibly that’s where all his creepy ideas are welling up from: the subcutaneous unconsenting corpse fat

I’m feeling this in my solar plexus

Agggh building the band is such a great show I am suddenly a fan of the pussy cat dolls. I will die if soulidify don’t get thruuu although their name is congealed music sausage

Sorry but this is the creepiest thing i have read in a very long time. And branding it Alloclae is the most horrific allele slash bae mashup martketing portmanteau since idk www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

And a very special #CookbookCorner shoutout for a riveting read, in the form of ‘The Epic History of Macaroni and Cheese: From Ancient Rome to Modern America' by Karima Moyer-Nocchi!

1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws. Add Samantha Boucher to that list. Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.

Name some platform economies that have acted for good? Disrupted with positive consequences? Because I can’t think of any: - Spotify etc penury for musicians - Airbnb etc housing cannibals - Uber etc race to the bottom for private transportation - Onlyfans don’t even wanna think about that mess

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

My theory, basically:

I also have a theory about that.

His Mam will kill him for coming home in that state.

Anthropic is racing to contain the fallout after accidentally leaking Claude Code source code, issuing copyright takedown requests to remove 8,000+ copies.

We are still collecting signatures to the open letter to Micheál Martin on maintaining the Triple Lock. It’s open to sign for academics (including PhD researchers) & university workers across the island of Ireland and those living and working overseas. forms.gle/ZWEJAt1wh2XN...

Happy trans visibility day to one and all x

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

We are used to hearing from a handful of academics in the media on foreign policy, defence and security, and geopolitics. They all dismiss Ireland's tradition of neutrality and its basis in international law and decades of peacekeeping. They are not the majority. www.thejournal.ie/academics-an...

Every year, the world produces more than 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste. If all that waste was packed into standard shipping containers, it would wrap around the globe 25 times. Everyone can play a part in achieving a more sustainable future. #ZeroWasteDay @unep.org

Agggggggggh why is it like this

Went to the launch of this beautiful magazine today at note wine bar and got to talk to some super cool food nerds about Irish food culture and how it morphs and forms itself in the completely fucked up society within which we find ourselves. Spicebags in the age of the LLM. #spéirghorm

This is an interesting snippet from a draft table of observations prepared by Dept Housing to be sent to DPER on the Accelerating Infrastructure report - whoever prepared the first draft said the quiet part out loud

My other half’s seeds. I am worried that he will not have the heart to kill off the smaller seedlings and we will be overrun with cucumbers. I pretend I have have developed a ruthless streak but we shall see when it comes to thinning this year’s sowings #spéirghorm

Ireland's neutrality is anchored in international law & decades of peacekeeping - more important than ever at a time of escalating conflict and the normalisation of genocide. This article was published in November. Re-sharing as the IT hasn't published anything similar since.

I woke up this morning and cried big sobbing tears reading the Guardian article on the Iran school bombing. I won’t share it, because it’s so hard to read. That atrocity is emblematic of the atrocities that have been committed in Gaza and elsewhere by this “western” axis of evil.

This. Bigger picture stuff here … the apathy about our national team is shelved for now. And that’s so bloody important. People already buying into these lads for the next campaign. At a minimum we always need that. The negativity helped make progress a non-starter for so long.

Thnk fck that’s all over couldn’t deal with the sports based hope

I keep getting defense forces ads. I don’t think they’re targeting me, a middleaged nerd. I have a strong suspicion they are targeting me as a career shaping force of young children. Everyone can fuck off because if my kids don’t turn out to be conscientious objectors they will have bigger problems
