However low your expectations are of VdL, she never fails to disappoint. A disaster for the EU, on every level.

Governments and administrations plan in years; states plan in decades. And the obvious planned model for the UK, Europe, USA and others is 'Israel Everywhere': fortress states secured by militarised borders where 'intruders at the gates' can be murderously laid waste because not-people, not-life.

Hugo Chávez - "They are cowards! They bomb innocent people...How COWARDLY is the army of Israel!"

"BusConnects" dwindled into a half-assed bus-stop redesign project so predictably. Stop traffic turning onto Whitworth Road from St Patrick's Road so the F Spine can function? Lol no. Any updates after that triumphant launch in October? Fuck off.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

This guy asked this question in 2016 and was literally never heard from again.

Please read, listen, and share widely. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

Keir Starmer's Israeli handler, genocidal terrorist Shimon Tubul, deputy mayor of Beer-Sheba, said last night on Israeli Channel 14: ״We had a golden opportunity to erase this thing called Gaza! Every day to kill 100–150 thousand of them״

Am I the only one, or did anyone else faint at the final whistle ? My God ! What a group of players. What character. Bless 'em all ! #COYBIG #Ireland #TroyParrott

10 years in the wilderness of international football and now within the space of 4 days, I've witnessed two of the greatest results in my life. COYBIG.

I could not be happier for Troy Parrott 🦜🦜🦜

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

AND TROY PARROTT DOES IT

Who’s a pretty boy then? 🦜🦜🦜

Make the Parrot the National Bird NOW! 🦜🦜🦜

I think this is mostly good stuff and no question that Ivana is an excellent leader for the party, but the 🐘in the room is how Labour can maintain its international alliances with the genocidal monsters next door. What is Irish Labour's position on Keir Starmer? www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

what I've learned about Cromwell this week, courtesy of the leaders of two Irish political parties, is that he CPO'd land for greenways sometimes and projected colourful lights on the sides of buildings in winter

Bigotry is always fed by lies.

Colder and clearer air moving down from North with a big change in our weather arriving today.

The Labour Party, championing the fight against family life and for torture and degrading treatment.

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

Can we have an open and honest conversation about immigration and how fucking great it is

Stories like these are why, as an American Jew, I feel absolutely no sense of loyalty to Israel nor tolerate the notion I'm obligated to support the country due to my Jewishness. Fascist Israelis don't care about Judaism or Jewish people - it's *just* a shield and cudgel to excuse their war crimes.

The brilliant Omar Barghouti in Dublin this week. He is absolutely right, our government says *some* of the right things, but its complicity with apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians deepens. As a very minimum they must enact the Occupied Territories Bill in full with services included. #BDS

Micheál Martin and Simon Harris are in a life or death struggle to see who can be the whiniest most sensitive wittle baby and it's going down to the wire

Looking back at the Irish ad where the fella is roasting lamb going by the recipe his late mother had recorded on actual physical audio quite nostalgically now.

There are aspects of the wedding in "November Rain" which are immediately recognisable to an Irish audience, and others that seem weirdly protestant. In this TED Talk I shall

Today we honor Brenda Itta-Lee, the 1st AK Native woman to serve in the AK House of Representatives, whose leadership, courage, & commitment to her people continue to inspire across generations. https://gov.alaska.gov/flags-to-be-flown-at-half-staff-in-honor-of-former-representative-brenda-itta-lee/

Gavin Cumiskey surely channeling Georgie Hamilton here: Ireland’s red card hex visited the Portuguese just like it transformed the previous home qualifiers, as Cristiano Ronaldo joined 🇭🇺’s Rolland Sallai and 🇦🇲's Tigran Barseghyan in the land of headless international visitors to the Aviva Stadium.

If we beat Hungary Catherine Connolly is giving us Monday off work. Pass it on.

"The Taoiseach added that 'many have lived here long enough that their children are growing up here. Those children are now facing challenges, notwithstanding that they are Irish citizens.'" Did he forget he led a campaign to end birthright citizenship? www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings. I hope my works find you well.

A perfect summation of who Ronaldo is: gloating and taunting when he thinks he's got away with a cynical off-the-ball foul, crying and snivelling when he's called to account.

Lookit...I'm just sayin...just doesn't feel like a coincidence is all. #COYBIG #Ireland #Leftie #Speirgorm #VoteLeft

The only guy probably not in the Epstein emails but wishes he were.

#IRLPOR #Ronaldo #RedCard #COYBIG

I don’t dare to hope here. I am living in the moment. But we are 2-0 up, lansdowne Road is loud, the petulant Portuguese Trump fan has been sent off for a nasty foul, and right now this is the most fun I have had watching sport since Rhys Hoskins’ bat spike nearly made Spencer Strider cry.

HOOK IT TO MY VEINS.

This is the best night of my life

THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Once again my political enemies are smearing me by presenting evidence of my crimes

My letter in today's Clare Champion calling out the xenophobic dog-whistling from our local TD, Timmy Dooley, as well as Sinn Féin's Matt Carthy. Immigrants are not the reason I've struggled to retain housing or buy my own home - Government policies are. Landlords like Timmy Dooley are. #Spéirgorm

Eoin Drea is a smug hypocrite who takes money to launder genocide and misery.

He could excommunicate the VP that's a thing he could do.

However many, may John Fetterman's remaining hours be agonising and terrifying.

Excellent stuff from RBB and Ruth C here www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...
