There is zero condemnation of Hamas by the left in Ireland of the treatment of hostages. Nada, nothing, not a mote.

Sat quietly in a bar last night, it wasn’t busy, three times people collided into the table and not once acknowledged the event or even offered an apology. Consideration has been lost in society.

This is well worth the watch x.com/aintscarylar...

@ryanairofficial.bsky.social this person flying on FR 9176 row 8 seat c verbally abused my mate (not on Bsky) using homophobic language on three occasions with no provocation. It was reported to the flight stewards on departure from the flight. Can you please DM so I can give you more details?

Happy Easter

Re-watching Sherlock series from 2010 (Benedict Cumberbatch) and one forgets just how great a series it is. Just wonderful television drama.

From Trump’s own lips: when he calls it a witch hunt, you know it was real all along!

I’m amazed it’s only -40%

@unreportedworld.bsky.social with Krishnam Guru-Murray reporting on the ignored humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Two egos fighting with support from bad actors is causing widespread suffering of children. If you want to know what malnutrition and hunger really is like, watch it! It’s truly tragic.

I feel we’re in some Tolkienesque nightmare The Two Towers, the dark lords keep of The Kremlin and The White House of Saruman! But who is worm tongue in all this? Musk?

If you’ve not seen Conclave yet, afterwards you’ll be like me wondering why it didn’t win even bigger. Marvellous film.

Remember this next time you see all those corporates marching at Pride…

Well there you have it: there will be no two state solution, or rather there may be a rump of a Palestinian state somewhere on the West Bank. Israel will annex most of the WB and Gaza will become a US protectorate and plaything of US property speculators

I don’t understand why this story is given such prominence on @news.rte.ie? It’s not the main news from the UK, so why is it the top story on RTE news from the UK? Lucy Letby's legal team to announce new medical evidence www.rte.ie/news/uk/2025...

To all those anti-Israel fan-peeps who decided not to vote, welcome to the rest of your lives…#imbecilic

It survived! I’m a little shocked!

Paphiopedilum venustum #orchids a beautiful species from Vietnam

Someone thought they could get away with driving this deathtrap around. That was an expensive mistake.

Waiting for my Guinness at Love Tempo, Dublin.

@drewpavlou.bsky.social You are NOT listening or reading the facts on this: there was a national enquiry, the UK has the results of that with 20 recommendations, but the previous Tory Government did not implement them! The new Labour government IS implementing them! x.com/drewpavlou/s...

Liz Truss crashed The UK economy and lasted less time in office than a rotting lettuce. #LizTruss

Is it just me or has Ireland been hit by a wave of tragedy and violence across the Xmas to NY? It seems every time I look at RTE news, there’s another murder, pedestrian killed, car crash. That’s not normal!

My Paphiopedilum venustum is back in flower and full of character. #Orchids

One month ago.

The x-fight between MAGA Loomer and the tech Bros is going epic and I’m going through popcorn by the barrel

It was as good as it looks! #StephensDayPint

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." -- Arthur C. Clarke, born #OTD 1917

This complex Paph hybrid (American) produces enormous flowers of the highest quality every year. It’s just stunning! #orchids

Devastation as far as the eye can see 😢 #CycloneChido #Mayotte

Did they not see the memo?

True Person of the Year!

Looks like #AustinTice may have been found

Give me a like and a follow!

A high rate of cousin-marriage is indicative of a Kinship based society and psychology. Kinship based societies have higher levels of nepotism, corruption, criminality, poverty and inequity. 85% of the world lives under Kinship based societies. The 15% exception are all Westernised societies.

The New Zealand government proposed to ban greyhound racing from 2026, saying the percentage of dogs injured in races remained significantly high reut.rs/4fcIdzk

Can anyone help?

If you feel unable, due to a position on #Isreal, to celebrate even in a small way, the end of the #Assad regime and Ba’athism with it, then you ARE on the wrong side of history. #HTS will be managed by other powers who will moderate them. It’s not perfect, but #Syria now has a smoother road ahead.

As Damascus falls to the rebel forces, it’s Assad day for Putin.

Reports from #Damascus that the city is in the hands of the rebels and the #Assad regime has fallen!

Flight SYR9218 suspected to be carrying Assad has disappeared from Flight Radar after flying erratically and dropping high rapidly

John Simpson, the veteran #BBC Foreign Correspondent, has repeatedly said that the end of tyranny happens suddenly and often without warning. The end of tyrants playbook is being well read in #Syria tonight. Will the fall of #Assad prelude the fall of #Putin and #Iran’s theocracy?
