RTÉ's Technology Correspondent interviewing Jason Kwon from OpenAI on the news just now, and either (a) he doesn't know enough about the tech and the business to ask a meaningful question (b) it was a deliberately softball interview. Either way, FFS

Bring back the John Player Tops of the Town with 2020s companies. I want to see a team from Salesforce doing a rendition of All That Jazz facing off against a Bradys Ham Book of Mormon medley

Jesus. Have watched this goal back around two dozen times and goosebumps every time. Absolutely savage 🇮🇪

Newcastle Airport has a very spartan, functional bus station vibe. I like it

Fear not folks. Endless economic growth, which is definitely a thing we can achieve without destroying societies or the environment, is the solution to our housing shortage

A lot of examples in this, it's been a long time since I read it, 'How the Irish became White'... should anyone want a thoroughly depressing read, full book: thecharnelhouse.org/wp-content/u...

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school. And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this. This is not a serious society.

the Pope is outflanking the US government on every single social issue. like, it’s not ambiguous: even without him making any meaningful concessions on trans rights (or abortion or anything else), he’s still to the left of every US federal government policy

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

The Irish fossil fuel industry welcoming a politician on board as their paid lobbyist. Until recently he was Fine Gael's spokesman on Climate Action. In many democracies this wouldn't even be legal, let alone acceptable.

Forced emigration as a handy solution to Ireland's problems: a hard drug to kick for every generation of our ruling duopoly

30,000 Homeless By 2030 Pledged In New Govt Housing Plan https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2025/11/13/30000-homeless-by-2030-pledged-in-new-govt-housing-plan/

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Thank You Michael D

New EV registrations in Ireland, January to October 2025. Tesla models are number 2 and 4 in the top 20 best-selling EVs. What is it that people here love about those awful cars? #spéirgorm

If auto/car advertising was banned the media would very quickly find alternative funding & no longer be complicit. Almost every ad on radio in Ireland is car related (insurance/trade/garages/tyres/etc).

Reposted every year in response to all those who fetishize remembrance

in the last 3 weeks: days of riots at Citywest, attempted murder of families in Drogheda, a plot to blow up a mosque. All right-wing and anti-immigration-motivated Simon Harris: we need to talk about the far left

How today's car advertisements are going to look to our future generations:

Watching Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) for the umpteenth. Everyone in it is so brilliant. Dan Aykroyd steals every scene he's in

So the new and outgoing Presidents of Ireland met yesterday and a certain book was visible on the table... Thanks @president.ie Michael D. Higgins for your great service to Ireland down the years (and for this little personal surprise). Here's to the success of President elect Catherine Connolly.

Funny watching Paul Murphy and John Clendennen on RTÉ the other day. Clendennen keeps saying "we need a debate about migration" to which Murphy says "okay lets have a debate", and then Clendennen just keeps saying "we need to have a debate". Its very clear what Fine Gael are trying to do here!

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Very entertaining thread, it's funny how millions of people apparently think Elon is Thomas Edison when he's basically Lyle Lanley

Why is the Government playing chicken with Europe on climate? My latest for the Irish Times. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

I'm a bit of a nerd about this - but it's hard to quantify just how popular Local Link buses have been in 'rural Ireland' - new one will link villages from Cork to Kerry that haven't had a bus service since the 1960s... www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-n...

Interested to hear how Micheál squares his attendance at the UN Climate Change Conference against his recent statements about mitigation actions being business unfriendly, his govt's wish to continue breaching the EU nitrates directive, and their slowdown in focus on climate action generally

Who are these people telling us it's 'pro-rural' to be in favour of being allowed to keep on turning our rivers and lakes into stinking, dying, open sewers for private profit? Oh, just a Fianna Fáil MEP. share.google/tBQc70fFRQIW...

€2 in the local charity shop and one of the best things I've read in an age. You can't beat the book circular economy

A little wish-fulfilmenty of me maybe, but I get the feeling our 'TikTok Tánaiste' is seething at the idea of a younger, more charismatic, popular politician being all over the news cycle, while he digs himself into an ever-deeper ideological hole

why has the term Big Irish Head become so ubiquitous when 'Gael Skull' was right there all along

#SpéirGorm Story from Journal.ie

It's no surprise that people in Ireland have taken such an interest in the New York mayoral race; as the Dublin Citizens' Assembly showed us 3 years ago the vast majority of people here want a directly-elected mayor with executive powrrs #spéirgorm

Cheney turned the wheel of the West directly towards mass murder in a very public way during the rise of new media and with only the flimsiest of justifications. And he, the oil companies, politicians and news outlets totally got away with it.

Spencer Ackerman in The Nation addressing Cheney's legacy: "As Trump prepares an assault on a South American field of resource extraction and deploys federal forces to terrorize American cities, Cheney can eternally look up from his well-earned spot in the afterlife at the fruits of his labor."

Some very quick googling found 12 articles about how we never talk about immigration, often written by the same people

👌👌👌

Harris is stinging big-time from the presidential election debacle and is simply and transparently taking it out on his leftist opponents and an extremely vulnerable and under-attack segment of our population

Bluesky for the next 48 hours

I see our dedicated patriots are planning to convene on somewhere called 'Portloaise'

MLB all-time World Series winners as GAA teams: Yankees = Kerry. Historically dominant, sometimes hit a rough patch with no titles which causes supporters to act like the world is ending. St. Louis = Dublin. Relatively strong record recently along with historical pedigree.
