Another one bites the dust.

And if you’re wondering about the “delicious diversity” that Skerries has got a taste of … the man charged is named Seán McGlone

In Gaza, a devastated little boy is coming to terms with the fact that his whole family were murdered while he was out of their apartment. All gone. His face is expressionless. He has no tools to deal with this. But the FAI say we have to play Israel or we’ll lose three points. #speirgorm

I will in me

Some film (fillum) titles just don't quite work in Hiberno-English #spéirGhorm

My gut feel Keeping Mahmood in home office signals continuity of home office policy Same with Pat McFadden as work & pensions Shuffling Miliband out of DESNZ signals a break with energy security & net zero policy If this is correct, then, oh no

They’re selling chocolate milk to grown men by writing “protein” in big letters all over the bottle

congratulations on the new hedge fund gig

Want to add here that I first heard of this report from the @Contexte Power newsletter, which had a short item on it. It then went through several stages of approval at ambassador and ministerial level Full report here data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document...

Attending press conference of the campaign to save Carlow College. It's crazy how this college is being closed down, with 87 jobs being lost and the removal of humanities education from the South East of the country.

Wait, wouldn't this drive it underground? Like the hare coursing?

My highlight of the first half - household member glanced up at the screen and said, 'oh that's nice, Princess Anne is there.' It was Mick Jagger

Saladin in 1189:

England needed the spirit of Mrs Thatcher against Argentina but instead hired a GERMAN who doesn’t understand these brave boys—me in tomorrow’s Daily Mail

Starmer setting aside time on his last day as PM (and possibly even timing his departure overall) so that his last act would be to attend England's World Cup Final, only for England to not make it so he just like...has a free day now, is the most Starmer thing to ever happen

All England flags can be now put back to stopping the boats x

While I'm sad we lost, I'm also relieved because England should not be encouraged in general Imagine how insufferable all the politicians would be if we actually won

Look on the bright side, England, it's only 3.5 prime ministers until the next world cup!

We know that out of control data centre development has led to 23% of electricity being consumed by data centres. A recent report found that data centres consume 80% of electricity in Dublin, yet Uisce Éireann can’t or won’t tell us the effect of data centres on water consumption.

We need answers from Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) about water usage in data centres. Nobody knows or even seems to want to know how much water is being used by these energy-guzzling data centres. We need a ban on any more data centres. #BanDataCentres #HosepipeBan

TASC found nearly 90% of Dublin's 97 data centres are in areas experiencing economic deprivation www.tasc.ie/news/2026/05... Now these areas are being deprived of water as well! www.thejournal.ie/hose-pipe-ba... www.dublininquirer.com/does-irish-w...

How many times I expected to hear ‘Strait of Hormuz’ this year v. how many times I've actually heard it.

Most of Israeli journalism consists of ppl who follow the military’s censorship guidelines while embedding themselves in that same military to ‘report’ on their activities. Unlike these spineless cowards, Palestinian and Lebanese journalists risk their lives to do actual journalism.

I need to be taken to a high place and be tempted by Satan; so long as it involves a cool breeze. #goodnews #badnews #climatecollapse

Uiii, da kommt was in Bewegung. #kiblase #aibubble Und es ist gut. Ihr wisst eh alle wer der Chef dieser Firma ist …

China's crude oil imports fell by no less than 41% on year in June and 11% in the first half of the year. Fossil gas imports were down 3% in H1 while coal imports were up 2% but still down 10% compared with 2024.

For anyone who needs to collect a parcel or missed delivery, this move to Lucan mean a long trip across the city. For the workers, it means upending their life. In Rathfarnham, a public meeting and local protest helped get An Post to defer the closure of the Edmondstown sorting office til next year

Things were grand before the busy bodies in #Brussels stopped us dipping our sheep with arsenic. And our pubes. Worked a treat for the crustaceans. #speirgorm #EU

Listed #CoLeitrim #sexshop. They called it VIROL in those days. And plugs were hand-lathed from mature walnut.

The “protect our women and children” crowd seem awfully silent about the fact that the former head of the main unionist party is a literal paedophile rapist But hey he ain’t black or brown so it doesn’t count

A reminder that, on one day in the last election, FF, FG and SF all visited the IFA and told them that they would work to shelter Agriculture from climate protecting laws.

No, you can't trust it. Yes, you need to validate using other methods. Those other methods involve doing the work the long way with precision. Which means you don't need AlphaFold. So...it doesn't save us any time. Or rather, on some projects it WOULD! I just don't know which.

For me, the most maddening thing is when AI boosters, or detractors, all seem to agree that AlphaFold is an unmitigated good and useful tool showing the power of AI. I disagree. It's hit and miss. And the misses are REALLY expensive. Especially when the conversation suggests it is ALL HIT.

All those Zionists on X saying “why doesn’t Egypt take in Palestinians then?” as if the Egyptian regime isn’t a US-backed dictatorship that has been blockading Gaza along with their Israeli partners The point is that despite the billions dumbed on Arab dictatorships, people still support Palestine

As my favourite English writer Anthony Powell said, nothing is more mysterious to us than the workings of another person's marriage. There are soap operas involving imaginary human beings available for people who want to speculate about this kind of thing.

Leaked footage of Irish line out drills has emerged. #AUSvIRE

I got a chapter in this book!

And I have me jersey ready

I waited a while, but the train was delayed. [When we have thrown out and forgotten these useless #FF/#FG feckers we will have abundant free public transport and a network of train lines running on wind turbine power and battery storage. Even #Bellaghy people can ride.] #ireland #publictransport
