I’ve seen a few folks go for the β€œif you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Airbnb Gaeltacht expansionism: 88 percent listings increase To truly understand Airbnb expansionism in Ireland look to the Gaeltacht.

An 88 percent increase in the number of whole homes to rent in Gaeltacht areas on Airbnb – in just six years

'The history of the Gaeltachts as places of radical and forward thinking gets forgotten now when they've become a holiday destination,' say @CnaG

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

I walked around a corner in my office and there was an electrician bent over looking at the sockets.

Connolly has gotten the highest vote ever in the history of the state. There was never going to be a rerun.

Yeah seems to be how they get people. Start with the reasonable stuff and then ease you into the bigotry.

Would really appreciate if you could send that to me if you find it please. Been discussing this with local organisers. Need to see what they are saying to be able to counter it.

Spoiled ballot paper

Spoiled ballot paper

This is the rage of the far right-in a spoiled ballot paper. Complaining about rape while nominating a man found liable for rape.So it’s not about rape at all, it’s about racism and misogyny-& homo/trans phobia in support of she of the holy handbag who is conveniently anti LGBTI - #aras25 #speirgorm

If Gavin got over 12.5% of the vote he would have gotten €250,000 in election expenses from tax payer money. Not a good idea to vote for him as a protest vote. It's just handing Fianna FΓ‘il your money.

Remember voting for Jim Gavin doesn't spoil your vote, but if he gets 12.5% or more then Fianna FΓ‘il gets €250,000 of your taxes given to them as election expenses.

Don't protest vote by giving the government party your money. #speirgorm

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship πŸ˜₯

Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.
