I know everyone wants to talk about Mamdani, but spare a thought for his poor forgotten magician cousin, Tadani

Please, please, please, PLEASE, can this additional funding be used to buy a guard dog trained specifically to keep Enoch Burke off the school grounds? Obvs the dog should be called, Enoch Bork. #Speirgorm

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

#SpeirGorm #Áras25 FF deputy Leader, Helen McEntee - Heather Humphreys ran a very positive and forward looking campaign. Me -

Just took my 93yr old Mum to vote, she has red hair, and has to walk on all fours. In a loud voice she said “Which box for …” Before she finished, a loud horn sounded and a group of people on horseback with dogs chased her out of the polling station yelling RURAL PURSUITS! #Speirgorm #Áras25

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only

Have it on good authority that Catherine Connolly unironically calls it hump day. #SmearTheBejaysis

When Catherine Connolly reads bedtime stories, she never does the voices. #SmearTheBejaysis

Catherine Connolly used to wrap little bits of turf in tinfoil and sell them as ten spots of hash in the campsite at Féile #SmearTheBejaysis

I once asked Catherine Connolly why she was walking so fast. She said that for as far back as she can remember, she’s always been Russian. #SmearTheBejaysis

Catherine Connolly took the horse to France, and that’s why it ended up in your lasagna in 2013. #SmearTheBejaysis

Catherine Connolly claps when the plane lands … and she did it on 9/11!!!! #SmearTheBejaysis

Catherine Connolly never says thank you to the driver when she’s getting off the bus! Don’t miss my hard hitting investigative expose in tomorrow’s Independent.

This last round table is a mansplaining fest of cringe tropes. Like, I get that they’re playing a game, but they are leaning so much into men follow the evidence/women follow their emotions trope that I’m shocked that Nick hasn’t fallen into the 1950s. #TraitorsIrl

Prediction is that Nick and Ben try to convince Kelley that the other two women are traitors. Then, Nick will go after Ben by saying he must have been protecting him if he’s still here. #TraitorsIrl

Why would you murder Wilkin? The poor fella probably didn’t even remember if he was a faithful or a traitor. I was hoping he would just kinda stumble his way to victory. #traitorsIrl

Before the advent of long distance communications technologies, humans were able to relay information via carrier pigeons. AI is openly advising people to kill pigeons. Why? They know that these winged heroes may be humanity’s best hope in the coming war. Protect pigeons at all costs!

Meanwhile … at Social Democrat HQ #SpeirGorm

This is a profound misunderstanding of violence. Words, ideas, actions can be as destructive as acts of direct physical violence. Kirk’s words have helped normalise and exacerbate violence against LGBTQ+ and non-white people. He should not have been shot, but don’t amplify this false dichotomy.

I guarantee that there are “cool” edge lords on Twitter trying to argue that McGregor meant this in the Hobbesian Levitation way, and that it’s a hill they’re determined to die on.

From @soozuk.bsky.social thread on Rayner. I can’t believe, after witnessing 5 years of Rayner riding shotgun during Labour’s capitulation to right wing politics, that people still think she’s is a voice of the left. Today, left in Labour means slightly to the right of Cameron’s Tories.

@bigdirtyfry.bsky.social The one thing that all mortal men fear … is death. Have you spent time contemplating the inherent entropy of all things, Luna?

Them - Is all this flag nonsense in England racist? Me - In a roundabout way.

This is a one in a lifetime opportunity to cast the American John Waters as the Irish John Waters.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The most depressing thing about this type of stuff is that the people cheering it on will have ancestors that were crushed under empire’s boot heels too. Empire was an elite exploiting ordinary people in the UK and the colonies for their own gain. Stop celebrating your ancestors’ abuse, Brits.

Maybe with all the extra military boots on the ground, they might be able to find the Epstein List? If they found Bin Laden, they can find the list. We know it was on Bondi’s desk in February, so start from there.

Keir Starmer is a Latin phrase meaning “punch down.”

My name, Ronan, means little seal. Please enjoy this poorly shot video of a variety of different sized seals, taken by a little seal.

This pretty much sums up neoliberal ethics. ‘We all know genocide is bad, but our condemnation of crimes against humanity shouldn’t disrupt wealth generation.’

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Me - Happy Boomsday! People - It’s Bloomsday, dummy. *deletes Outhere Brother’s/Venga Boys on repeat playlist as tears roll down my cheeks* #bloomsday

The Guardian wants you to give them money to protect “Independent Journalism”. Independent journalism would report the facts accurately - a genocidal state hijacked a boat carrying food as part of their policy to deliberately starve civilians in Gaza to death.

@jamcjo.bsky.social Liberal war rhetoric … it never changes.

In England a man trained by the British military can intentionally drive into a crowd of people, and not face terror charges. But an artist faces one for holding a flag on stage during a performance. The charges against @kneecapceol.bsky.social are solely designed to silence protest.

The Ditch first reported on the Irish Central Bank facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds in September last year. The Israeli Bonds CEO has told potential investors that purchasing bonds is "the best way" to help Israel support "the war campaign”. www.ontheditch.com/central-bank...

Elon has tried so hard to make Grok take his side on South Africa that it just randomly brings it up when you ask any question

There’s a big nursing home in Mayo that was originally built for aging nuns and people call it The Virgin Megastore

Kick Israel out of Eurovision: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRWo...

People have tried to cancel @kneecapceol.bsky.social concerts because they are drawing attention to US and UK complicity in genocide. Your concerts are cancelled due to calls for a cultural boycott against artists from the state committing genocide. These two things are not equivalent.

Trump’s Budget provides probably the clearest articulation of the Admin’s framework for authoritarianism. The buzz words of WOKE and CULTURAL MARXISM are used to hide the more obvious message … … Either you believe what we believe or we stop funding you. All framed as federal gov stepping back.

📣 KNEECAP STATEMENT:

My sister said that the Papal Conclave is basically ‘boy talk’. A group of boys lock themselves in a room, kick everyone out, and gossip about which boy they like the most until they can all agree upon the one boy they all like the best. Been laughing about it all weekend. #conclave

Solidarity arises when an oppressed group rises up and demands that the rest of society stands with them to fight this oppression. It’s not the oppressed continually being kicked, and politely waiting for the rest of society to decide this isn’t right. @labourlewis.bsky.social knows this too.

At least once a year I find myself thinking about the fact that Ant and Dec had so many lyrics that they were frighted to use them. Even though they claimed ownership of the lyrics, the sheer numeracy struck terror into their hearts. Such a powerful image.
