Maria Steen: Historic spoilt vote vindicates everything I said about our disconnected political class Frustrated, furious and disenfranchised electorate made their feelings known at the ballot box

By failing to even get nominated for the Presidency while another independent candidate scored a record victory, I have of course been proven right

The one conclusion they will assiduously avoid, of course, is that Catherine Connolly just won this election because a majority of voters want her to be the president, and that they want her to be the president because of her politics.

A lot of people outside the UK positing the name of Soldier F. They know his name because it is in Hansard. If you are in the UK, you best not utter it.

Who the state protects tells you everything about that state & they have protected him from the minute he started shooting innocent people

Build. Affordable. Social. Housing.

Empire empiring, always.

Not nostalgia, but something deeper dwells in the hush north of the river, where rain beads on the glass and the traffic hum softens to murmur. Inside, the warmth of old paper rises, the city left dripping at the mat. A floorboard sighs, someone pauses over a spine creased by a dozen owners. Secondhand searchers lean like tired archivists, labels hand-scrawled, dust honest. The scent, not one note, but a chord: dried glue, foxed paper, oak oil, damp wool, the perfume of stories handled often. the smell of Dublin in winter: wet umbrellas, slow afternoons, and pages turned without haste. Each book, a collapsed star of thought, its weight felt, not seen, gathers the room into orbit, binding the brittle with the infinite. Chapters is not a chain, but a conversation in low tones, tourists, students, pensioners tracing titles once read, a man humming to a book of poems Here, the air listens. Spines tilt like philosophers mid-thought, some lean toward one another as if remembering that knowing is never solitary. You move slowly, not out of reverence but recognition, that every arrangement here is unrepeatable. A fragile conjunction of stories and silence, of meanings misplaced and perfectly found. And you, a reader not yet chosen, wander this quiet constellation north of the river, where the next touch might be the one that listens back.

As it’s #BookshopDay here’s a revised version of my poem on the Dublin bookshop Chapters @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social

Monaco was given one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in the entire world and they did That with it

The well-known promotional image for The Snowman (2017) showing a crude drawing of a Snowman and the words "Hello Mister Police" with the addition of Donald Trump's signature from his extremely unsuspicious letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.

CMAT with "tell bertie it was me. I want him to know it was me."

OK there's a LOT wrong with this framing.
Which viewers, exactly, were stunned? Because none are mentioned in the piece.
And how, exactly, did her "interrupt" an interview WITH HIMSELF?
Can we stop framing every mention of the genocide in Gaza as controversial, and start treating it like fact?

Sally Rooney: I support Palestine Action. If this makes me a ‘supporter of terror’ under UK law, so be it I would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper – but that would now be illegal

Irish bands now getting banned in Germany for clout I feel. Good for them!!! You're nobody you don't support Palestine

Opinion: Idea that immigration is fuelling the housing crisis might seem like common sense, but it’s wrong What this argument misses is that immigrants are overwhelmingly victims of the housing crisis. By any measure, immigrants come out much worse than Irish-born households

Happy out to have this in @irishtimes.com this morning. Headline is a tad miss-leading, my argument is more specifically that 'immigrants' are not causing a crisis for 'the Irish'
