Crazy that this photo isn't two bisexuals who live in Stoneybatter, and occasionally bring home a third they pick up at kombucha brewing courses

How is S*tcliffe allowed to operate a boxing club where children train while publicly calling for ethnic cleansing of minority groups

Kids shouldnt be anywhere near this guy, hes a danger to anyone whos not white and/or is of the LGBT community. Revoke his business licence

i sincerely hope that A Certain Other Irish Pop Star gets the help that she needs, but right now she is very publicly acting like a bully and is absolutely not a voice to be listened to or trusted when it comes to trans lives.
can i ask for all the lovely people in the irish/musicy/ gay/alloftheabove circle who are *rightfully* outraged by her latest series of tweets to not share them? i can tell that everyone's intentions are good but it can be quite traumatising to spread around this bogus 'data. I really care about prevention of harm to the trans community and i believe in the power of cutting off hate at the source.
anyways. today seems like as fabulous a day as ever to donate to TENI, Trans Equality Network Ireland.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

I imagine Bertie currently feels as miserable as he looked in this picture.

It brings me immense joy.

But the internet is ambiguous! Its your job to determine your understanding of what you read online, and unfortunately on this occasion you read it wrong. Its no one elses job to sign post what they're talking about.

You might go to the effort of sign posting with your flags but no one else has to!

My guy are you claiming that Irish people talking about their own election online are misleading because they don't pepper every message about Irish politics with an Irish flag the same way you do when you talk Canadian politics? Is that what this is about?

Where does the permission come from? Can we all just slap down paint on roadways if we want to advertise something now?

Whats most frustrating is that nothing seems to be of value to them, not art or streets, unless they can turn it into something that produces "economic value". Backwards thinking

The extent to which DCC has sold or given space to advertising for this game is evident all over the city. They've hoisted flags, turned entire pavement & roadway surfaces into billboards (Capel & Parliament St), and now just blithely painted over artwork and turned that into advertising space too.

Today, JD Vance urged Republicans to put on the "full armor of god" to fight their opponents.

Tonight, some of the most powerful people in tech will gather to hear Peter Thielβ€”who created Vanceβ€”give a secret lecture on the Antichrist.

It's all the same talking point, folks: politics as holy war

Lads you have to be better than this when reporting this story. The PA copy is basically just a readout of unsubstantiated opinion by the governor who doesn't appear to have any understanding of the meme culture soup this guy lived & breathed.

Charlie Kirk was not a β€œfree speech activist” and any outlet that tells you he was is lying to you. He wanted unlimited freedom for himself and as little as possible for the people he hated, ie anyone who wasn’t a white male conservative. His values were trash

the assassination of a sitting state senator and her husband in June got zero attention in this country, so all these performative statements on Charlie Kirk from Irish politicians are really something

I was on the Cooley peninsula there three weeks ago and saw the signs. Seems to be a big push from sheep farmers, I'm guessing not liking the idea of the area being fenced or god forbid dogs walking near their herds

If the government is so worried about the prices hotels make tourists pay to stay in Dublin, just wait till they find out how much landlords make people in the city pay to live here! I know they will be all over it in the budget! πŸ˜‰

The headline is purely inaccurate and so so dangerous. Those without status don't and have never qualified for HAP. Being assessed as unable to meet habitual residency condition (seemingly the core issue here) is not the same as being undocumented, or as the Mirror calls it, "illegal"

Three apartments in Smithfield going for €1.2 million. No news in that these days, but in the ad they make a point of highlighting that the units are vacant and have been for three years, and as such no rent caps will apply.

Exactly! When I saw the rubbish strewn around by the bridge I thought about going over to the tents to see if they knew anything about it, but left it. Now I wish I had because I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same crew. Disgusting to see people just up and leave rubbish behind them like that

We were up there this morning & some of that rubbish wasn't there when we left at 7:30am, but there were two tents down among the trees when we were walking around. Can only imagine it came from whoever was camping. Also saw the remnants of a fire just over the bridge that had rubbish strewn around

And shite pedestrian crossings. Still have to wait at two lights just to get across the road to our new Metro station, despite there being just two general lanes of traffic and a bus lane, with acres of space to put them in.

Please give this a response, it's super quick. Basic Income for Artists has been a huge success for those who received it. I've talked to musicians who were able to complete projects and music they otherwise wouldn't have, because of the scheme. It should be retained and expanded

Some of the nastiest racists in Ireland have newspaper columns, print and broadcast media regularly platform and both-sides. I'm glad Paul is calling out that it isn't just the frothing lunatics that are responsible for what's happening but the media's role is a missing piece
