I know no one asked, but over on X, JK Rowling is celebrating the IOC ban on trans athletes by once again attacking Imane Khelif, a cisgender woman, claiming that she is a man. A reminder that transphobia is just old-fashioned misogyny.

I think that those who oppose the genocide and apartheid of Palestinians should have the freedom to express those views without state censure or the threat of violence.

With the steaks, a simple salad of leeks, butter, cream, and Cashel Blue.

Good thing this immediately stopped being important in November 2016.

Like Enoch Burke -- if you're using your position as a teacher for self-aggrandising notice boxery, you're a bad teacher.

tell me things get better somewhere up the way

A banger from my yoof ...

The thing about sport is how it can deliver you the absolute worst experience so precisely tailored to your needs and preferences

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

It’s a good day to revisit this Ursula Le Guin quote. In the best possible reality, Earthsea would be the dominant fantasy series for children.

Genocide has a legal definition. Israel's treatment of Palestinians meets every element of it—across every inch of the land, in the West Bank as in Gaza. https://bit.ly/40Rb5sd

Three Israeli illegal outposts were established in the past day in Area A territories, and one more in Area B territory and one in Area C territory. Five Palestinians were shot with live fire by Jewish rioters, one of the injured in critical condition. All of this - Last few days

Out of the tens of thousands of Olympians since the turn of the century, there have been two (2) who are transgender women - one finished dead last, the other at the bottom of the field. This is not about fairness, or "protecting women" - it is about witch-hunting trans women out of existence.

Just received this video of the Kids in our Hind Rajab Centre, Nuseirat, Gaza showing their support to the Ireland football team. Sensational. C’mon Ireland! #COYBIG 💚⚽️🇮🇪🇵🇸⚽️💚

My resignation letter

C-SPAN caller to Rep. Pete Sessions: "Your party has given the power of the presidency to an insane, pedophelic serial killer"

This month Israeli settlers and police have killed 10 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, including brothers aged five and seven and their parents who were all shot in the head as the family returned from a Ramadan shopping trip.

Big loser is the Danish social democrats. Their election strategy was to be really racist hoping this would sway racist voters but they instead voted for the official racist party because no one votes for the copy

Dr Hussam Abu Safia 'systematically denied' medical treatment in Israeli detention, UN special rapporteurs warn.

A controversial pro-Israel lobbying group made an “urgent suggestion” to Micheál Martin’s department about lines to include in a speech he gave – and the taoiseach complied. The Claims Conference said, “We realize that this is very short notice." www.ontheditch.com/micheal-mart...

Detecting a slight imbalance in how the Irish Times and the govt react to aluminium from Ireland ultimately reaching Russia and how they react to active, positive support for genocide and illegal acts of murderous aggression and destruction by certain other countries, weird.

these popularist-style politicians never seem to have a political revelation that cuts in favor of the left, no matter where the polling is. weird!

It's beyond pathetic that our Govt has buried the Occupied Territories Bill while Israel ramps up its ethnic cleansing in Palestine and Lebanon. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael twiddle their thumbs and avert their gaze while innocents face annihilation. @patriciastephenson.bsky.social

"Unbelievable, insane night in the West Bank. Hundreds of Israeli settlers are rampaging across more than 15 villages and towns right now, torching homes, cars, and fields, and attempting to burn people alive. The Israeli army is showing complete failure and total indifference."

If the Premier League won’t take points off Chelsea, EVERTON WILL!!!! 😂👏👏👏✊🏻

Overheard in Dublin: "Don't get me wrong I love Hassan, he's a fuckin legend, but he used to be a bit of a moanbag"

American Deism, the religious philosophy which we associate with the 18th Century chaps, is reflected in Americana music, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", "Ripple", "If I Could Only Fly", "Changes".

I'm listening to CSNY and literally have no-one to blame but myself

Enjoy the World Cup, visitors from around the world. I hope you don’t end up in El Salvador.

A thing we could do is Boycott these goons when they poke their heads up into the civilian part of Dublin Airport where their writ doesn't run. American alphabet soup thugs shouldn't be able to come upstairs and buy a coffee in Butler's.

Never understand how anything can be a miracle if you're omnipotent but I'm no theologian.

"If you jumped into a pit with a baboon, tried to convince it to have tea with you for 40 minutes, and sat nodding sagely at its baboon remarks the whole time... people wouldn’t say ‘Well done navigating that baboon situation’, they would say ‘Why do you do that every March 17th?’" New column:

TFW your nitrates are derogated

I'm not actually disappointed are you

The March equinox is today, 20th March, 2026. Today the sun will be directly above the equator for a moment as it makes its way noprth. And that moment is now, 14:44 Dublin time.

Ah, poor Xander

Counterpoint: get fucked.

I just don't know what the intent or the desired outcome was here but did you ever workshop this?

Look, I may have disagreed with Chuck Norris‘s politics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also acknowledge he was an untalented actor who made shitty movies. RIP

Oh Terry...🖤🥰 #TerryHall #FightRacism

Up close and personal at the Dalyer. ⚽ More enjoyable second half despite Dundalk equalising. Fair play to a great section of away fans bringing non stop energy and rhythm 🥁. #Bohemians 🔴⚫

Paul Gavan, well said.

Imagine having a Taoiseach who isn't a snivelling cowardly lick-arse
