Hands up all you who Humphrys has threatened to sue over the years!

For no reason at all today, I am thinking about how horrendously Laura Lee was treated by members of the DUP for trying to keep sex workers safe

My yearly pilgrimage to Dublin has begun.

Conservative estimate, just the combined 2 million kills.

As we enter our second heatwave of the year here in the UK, all I can think of is snow....☃️ Watercolour on cotton paper. Have a lovely weekend! #snow #cool #art #watercolour #watercolor #landscape #snowscape #painting #originalart #scape | karinacoghlin.com

Free? Why X users told me this book was selling like hot donuts

4Chan Christian guns-and-God conservatives plotted to bomb the MMA at the White House over the Epstein Files but were foiled when one of their moms overheard an encrypted voice chat when she delivered hot pockets to the basement where her son lives. Not kidding.

Scrolling through Bluesky and seeing The Irish Times posting an "AI is great" article just after the "What to do now you're redundant" article would be rightly criticised as lazy and unsubtle if it was used as world building in a movie scene.

Gardaí’s budget for PR and communications has boomed. Is that good? It depends on how its used, say academics who study policing – on what kinds of interventions and stories are pushed. Read more here www.dublininquirer.com/gardais-budg...

Arizona Bay here we come.

This is Glen Kane who was part of a lynch mob that kicked a man to death for being a catholic in the 1990s. By his own admission he had a banner commemorating "Lieutenant Colonel" Lenny Murphy - leader of the Shankill Butchers - in his house coz he "used to do messages for his mother" 😂

Would be great if the Irish left would not support abusers of women and racists. Just saying.

Testing a new lens a while back and accidentally hit the shutter. Thought it was ok so why not share it. Grand Parade, Cork. November 2025. #lumix #m43 #StreetPhotography #Cork

Readers, this actually happened.

One of the biggest steps towards world peace will be made when Musk kicks the bucket, naturally or otherwise.

I do think a lot of English-based analysis of what happened in Northern Ireland last night is missing the specifically loyalist aspect of the violence. These are groups with a long history of violently driving out "outsiders", turning their sights on a new vulnerable minority.

Migrants as proxy-catholics, to reinforce community control and capture through shared transgression.

Lies! Lies and subterfuge!

Yer man has picked on and abused countless people for clicks, even been convicted of harassment. He's running a café, a gym, doing group training, and a podcast. He's asking people to bail him out because of his own choices and actions.

Maybe Tadgh Hickey can go on a podcast with him instead.

A few years ago I wrote about two former government assistants/insiders who left to go work with Meta and lobby their former colleagues. All revealed via FOI requests. I think it got maybe 200 views. Lol. outwest.substack.com/p/facing-the...

well this sounds good

Absolutely loving everyone on X discovering the “Gael” Yank who’s been doing the rounds on TikTok for a while now. He’s a delusional white supremacist.

Sometimes cliches exist for a reason.

Hickey is a raging piece of shit. When Griffin was invited to speak in UCC in 2012 there was a reason why a small group of us got together to get his invitation rescinded. No room for fascists or their apologists and interlocutors.

Herman Kelly comes out in defence of McGuirk and takes aim at Niamh Uí Bhriain. Commenter replies that’s low as Niamh Uí Bhriain supported his family after he left them.

As a legal strategy, this is an objectively terrible decision, but, on the other hand, he is giving us magnificent content, so...

John McGuirk complaining about being vilified by "unsubstantiated and unfounded" allegations published by Gript

I just listened to McGuirk describe, in great detail, what he allegedly did to Fatima Gunning. He’s digging, hard.

@john McGuirk you are telling me that a woman who pretended to be pro choice as a psyop would make up an allegation of sexual harassment???

It’s reminiscent of Lauren Southern’s experience. She, incidentally, has learned nothing from the whole thing. And I expect Gunning to also carry on as normal being a classist, racist, provocateur.

I will note tolerate Frisky Dingo erasure. That said, ATHF is peak.

One thing I've not seen mentioned are the legal implications for McGuirk. Him and Gript are being sued by how many people? And now he no longer has the privilege of Gript's financial and legal largesse. He's going to write a book, isn't he?

For anyone interested in documentary photography. Derry Northern Ireland 1981… from my old negatives #photography #35mm #kodak #Derry #Ireland

It is physically impossible for McGuirk to shut up. He’s now making all sorts of claims, with more to come tomorrow he says.

John to them: You are too feminist, discriminating against men!! Them: We literally wish we could outlaw abortion again

Is this the first time Gript have ever acknowledged that a white Irish man might be guilty of inappropriate behaviour toward women
