One of the perks of your partner being a spectacular baker is that once a year I get to request an elaborate dream birthday cake. This year it’s a four layer orange-blossom almond sponge, set lemon curd, caramelised honey set custard, and blackberry gelée delight.

Can’t believe that it’s eight years, today, since Sgt Pepper taught the band to play.

Genocide is fine, but damaging a statue is worthy of a full investigation. Israel is psychopathic colonial state. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

They’re chopping up uncles now, the woke radical left. Your brother, your sister, has a baby, lovely, everybody loves babies, but if you’re a man, they’ll come in with axes and chop you up. Nobody’s talking about it. CNN isn’t talking about it. They don’t care about all the uncles being chopped up.

The americano should not exist. It’s a watered down espresso that tastes worse than any batch brew on offer.

The area above my cooker top used to be a big fan of tractors, but all the far-right nonsense over the past few days has turned it into an ex-tractor fan. #SpeirGorm

This is the logical conclusion of a warped Christian-Fascism combined with Western Liberal saviour syndrome. God bless the millions of Iranian people that we are going to save from repression by murdering them. Fucking hell, the psychotic derangement of a death cult.

OMG, this writes itself. Anne O’Conda, exiled from Ireland in the fifth century, returns to do battle with St Patrick. #SpeirGorm

Rookie mistake, should have obviously put on All Rise.

#speirgorm People - are you going to the parade? Me -

🎵 It was 11 years ago today, Ireland legalised ecstasy, All the lads and ladies went for broke, Gobbling down the bags of yokes, So may I introduce to you, Everybody’s biggest fears, Coming down in work again! 🎵 #speirgorm

What is Cake? Well, it has an active ingredient which is a dangerous psychoactive compound known as dimesmeric andersonphosphate. It stimulates the part of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon. And that's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception. So, a second feels like a month.

Hey, I just met you, Excuse the fish smell, But here’s some blubber, Call me Ishmael

Not since the guillotine

The call him, Maud’Dib #dogsofbluesky

If one more Irish person, business, sports club, etc, posts AI slop of Brad Pitt accompanied by a string of “oh 🤣 amazing” comments, I’m going to ask Morgan McSweeney to renegotiate our return to UK rule. #speirgorm

If only those on the left would accept a necessary and sensible amount of xenophobia, then we could fight against the bad racism of reform. Where centrism is at today in a nutshell.

Really think Brigid missed a trick by not selling her own brand of protein powder … Imbulk. #speirgorm

We lived in England for 14 years. Both of us had secure jobs, and we could easily have stayed there permanently. After the 2019 election, we made the tough decision to move home and start over. This is why. #speirgorm do not let this shite happen in Ireland. We’re better than this.

Change a letter, ruin a film: The Wind That Shakes The Barely

Meet the new addition to our family, Sam. My late nana always said that you should never wait to get a new dog, and when I saw this fellas face on a rescue page, I knew he was for me. He’s a 17 month Pointer-Terrier mix, and full of energy.

The Irish criminal justice system is represented by three separate, yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders; and a weird little man from Mayo who really wants to bully a child. These are their stories. #speirgorm

UK Secretary of State here going full Dennis Reynolds. It’s not that state WILL always be watching you, but they COULD be watching you at any given moment, you just won’t know IF they are watching you, and that will encourage people to conform to state power …

Today we said goodbye to McNulty. Anyone who knows us, knows how much he means to us. Anyone lucky enough to have met McNulty understands why. He was a singular force of nature. Full of so much spirit and love. He was, and always will be, our little fella.

Gimli signs up for Tinder. What are you looking for?

There was these sweets called Nerds, and they were phenomenal. Then there was a rumour that somebody put glass in them, they disappeared from the shops, and when they returned they never tasted the same.

If there was a child porn factory down the road, it’d be closed immediately. The Govt’s response wouldn’t be “hang on, they let us print flyers there too”.

The Government and media who are locked in a rotten symbiosis on X, are trying to suggest something needs to investigated or discovered. But all the relevant facts are both known and undisputed. X dot com launched a paid-for feature that produces images of people undressed, including kids.

No new pictures where you are mentally?

“We can’t leave the site that undresses thousands of women and children every day without their consent because we have a duty to report upon unfolding situation,” is quite a stance for the media to be taking.

The Sopranos is the easy choice here. Like, I love The Wire finale, but season 5 is jarring. Twin Peaks, both original and return are strong contenders too. Oh, and Bojack, that’s a perfect ending.

My friend is a Dutch cheese and his wife left him for a mature cheddar. He’s devastated, doesn’t know what to do. I said he should focus on the kids and just try to be a Gouda.

Look, #speirgorm, I think we can all agree that things have gotten incrementally terrible over the past 15 years. I think that part of the reason things feel hopeless is that all the problems are so complex. What I’m proposing is that we blame the guy that slipped on the ice for everything.

Musk is now peddling paedophilia Anyone remaining on his X site is complicit in this absolute horror

You wouldn't steal a car You wouldn't steal a handbag You wouldn't steal a television You wouldn't steal a President Kidnapping world leaders is stealing, stealing is against the law, IT'S A CRIME

Going to California 1 series, 20 episodes, thought it was amazing when I watched it in my teens. Refuse to watch it again because it most definitely is not amazing.

Interrailing in my early 20s. Our last stop was Amsterdam. First coffee shop we thought we’d be cool and smoke a full weed joint. Pulled a whitey and Steve O from Jackass walked in. Watched him try to flick his flip flop onto his back for 10 minute while wondering if it was really happening.

How I’m walking out of 2025

Duneder Mifflin

The Master Keep Joaquin Phoenix, Kermit as PSH and Miss Piggy in the Amy Adams role.

James Ransone dying at 46 is such a shitty way to start the holidays. Obviously, he was phenomenal in The Wire and Generation Kill, but he’s an actor that was just good in any role I’ve seen him play. Mental health care provision is simply not fit for purpose, globally.

AI is the best illustration of late stage capitalism and its oligarchical nature. Nobody wants their internet browser integrated with AI. Well, nobody except the handful of obscenely wealthy individuals that have invested heavily in AI. The lesson, it doesn’t matter if we want it. They do.
