My favourite thing about Catherine is how insanely mad she has made all the biggest losers in Irish politics

not entirely convinced by a process that aims to find the best club side in the world and concludes that it's chelsea

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

michelle williams meeting michelle williams is so important to me as a fan of michelle williams and michelle williams

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

If I’m a Munster fan in La Rochelle I’m ringing in sick for the week and staying put for Bordeaux next weekend. Unless Ulster can somehow pull it out the bag?

#LARVMUN

Fuck yes!!!!!

Oh to be in
La Rochelle
eating and drinking my weight in seafood and rosé all day
On my way
to watch another famous Munster victory?

My God.

ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.

How many more?

THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Good work, people of Ireland. We’ve passed 90% of the support needed for this official citizens’ proposal to ban conversion therapy.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

So sick of hearing about those ads about parental controls for teen Instagram accounts. Anyone who’s ever spent any time with teenagers know they aren’t bloody well on Insta!

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Ah shite I’ll miss it! At a hen party that weekend!

Oh she is Eo-WINDy amirite? No seriously, just lost power and most likely the rest of my sleep for the night.

A Stade Francais flag hanging at Thomond Park at the start of the Munster Stade Francais rugby match.

I had a scrap with a Stade fan even before kick off as his flag was blocking my view. I won.

Going to be a letdown if tonight's Late Late Show doesn't end with Kneecap giving the kids their best Xmas present ever: a United Ireland. #latelatetoyshow

Just a reminder that I have two Ryanair flights to London Stansted from next Thursday 5th (11am ish) to Sunday 8th (5pm return) that I won't be using. For the price of changing the names, you can have a pre-Christmas shopping trip to London!
