Big fan of Irish? Name three ar nós that aren't na gaoithe.

I downloaded an app specifically to make this and I have no regrets

Imagine looking at the telly for the next 7 years and every time the President is on you shout out that cunt owes me 3 grand

Omg 11 o clock on a Sunday night? He's got the Glenroes 100%

Extremely relatable to do this at half 10 on Sunday night.

My favourite kind of day in Irish politics is one where I’m skimming past all of the American posts like not now guys, we’re busy

spoke too soon

Honestly though, defrauding tenants during a housing crisis *should* be the kind of thing that ends political careers and it's maybe a bad sign that the unserious, unprepared guy with no experience is the first politician in years to acknowledge that

All the Very Serious Columnists who warned us that "this election will be boring without Maria Steen" owe us an apology.

Shut up yew ye tick

Of all Jim Gavin’s gaffes, it turns out it was his spare one that took him down.

The Long Game Imagine you are a tenant, in the worst financial crash in living memory, and you discover that over three thousand of your very precious and irreplaceable euros have been sent by your idiot bank to your previous landlord. And then he won't give them back. Not then, but also, not later either. He just keeps the money, because that is how Irish private landlords behave. You pay a deposit to a landlord and then they try anything on to refuse to give it back. Now imagine you spend the next 16 years seething every time that landlord appears on the TV, being fêted for his sporting triumphs, receiving state appointments and still never giving you your money. And now, and I invite you to imagine this in full 8k Hi-Def Surround Sound, imagine seeing that guy announce he was running to be President and realising you were going to tell your story and End It.

I learned about Sports Thumb Jim Gavin dropping out of the Irish Presidential election from @tupped.bsky.social's The Gist this morning and I owe it to you to share this relevant passage, which got my week off to a great start:

Lads I got a refurbished iPhone 16 and I didn’t realise that iOS had got all the way up to 26? Feel like I’m in a sci-fi movie rn

Doctor, come quickly! My grumpy old husband is having a stroke!

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

OYIN OH MOTHER GOD we have new faithful royalty. clocked all three traitors like omfg 😭 i’m scared for this very beautiful woman’s life #TheTraitorsIRL

#TheTraitorsIRL is so fun but it really bothers me they don’t even pretend to be sleeping in the castle.

RIP Nick/Paudie, the FF-FG coalition of #traitorsIRL

Literally the most important rule of #traitorsirl is always listen to Oyin

But the real question is, is it curtains for Zoosha?

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

GOOD ATTEMPT TODAY

Honestly crushing whenever I fail a nyt connections and they give the patronising lil star. but my god what a reaction image to have in the bank

I think if Britain colonised your country of origin you should get free BBC iplayer.

I don't trust it when the UK has a Bank Holiday weekend that we don't. What are they getting up to with all that free time?
Colonialism probably.

The devil created Monday morning, but God gave us coffee

I say this extremely seriously: one of the main skills children have to learn to be adults is to do things they *don't* find interesting. This is both because many necessary things in life are boring and because sometimes interesting things take time and effort first.
