Canada, if you need a new trading partner to buy your butter tarts, nanaimo bars and ketchup crisps, please send them to Ireland thank you very much

For overseas followers: in Ireland every seven years we vote for someone to tell the Government they are a bunch of evil clowns and every five years we vote in the evil clowns.

We are a f***ing class country, let it be said.

I'm generally a bit of a softie, I'm a romantic at heart. But when I see a bride in all her bridal finery swanning into the primary school to vote, absolutely desperate to get her picture in the paper, I think "first dance is Ed Sheeran, no open bar, speeches before dinner, stupid table names".

For the record, I still don’t trust Catherine Connolly as much as I want to, but she is leagues better than the alternative.

Today, you have the power to never hear from Heather Humphries ever again. Use that power responsibly. #SpeirGorm #VoteConnolly

Eli Roth's Thanksgiving movie is so much unhinged fun I love it

Signal boosts hugely appreciated today!

If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.

The ending broke me when I realised what was happening

Are you a little confused about how Ireland’s Presidential Election works?

Fear not: I have once again picked up some 🔴 popular 🟠 coloured 🟡 chocolate-based 🟢 confectionary 🔵 treats 🟣 to show how the #aras25 votes are counted.

“Look at all those pesky journalists asking me questions about the things I said. How dare they!”

I grew up in rural Ireland and I don’t know a single person who supports those barbaric sports so I take extreme offence to her constantly hiding behind the term “rural pursuits”

She could try having just one first

I’m placing my bets now. If Heather Humphries gets her arse handed to her by Catherine Connolly on Friday, Fine Gael will learn the wrong lessons and double down on the dirty campaigning and attempted culture war BS that they’ve been doing this whole run #SpeirGorm

Howling 💀

This is probably your best reminder that Amazon Web Services is too big. So is Microsoft, and Google, and all of these companies that are gobbling up money, energy, and resources, only for things to go suddenly arse-up, like today, without being held accountable. There's no space for competition.

Grandpa Simpson: There was something strange about the way he walked. Much more vertical than usual.

Taking the hobbits to Isengard has ended me

A robbery? At the Louvre?

The trauma after the first note 😂

Major case of the Sunday scaries today and it’s still over 20 years until I can retire

This quote shows us that Heather Humphries does not respect the intelligence of Irish voters. She’s counting on us all being ignorant of the truth. Every day that passes she does or says something that makes me more comfortable that I’m voting for Connolly.

As time has marched on and Connolly’s lead in the polls grows, Humphries campaign has grown more desperate and dirty in their messaging

This thread is the best rapid fire jokes thread you’ll find today

I want to understand the mind of a regular person who looks at this and thinks it is a good thing. I have so many questions about what the appeal is and how they think this helps them. And yes, I know people will applaud attacks on those they hate, but beyond that, how does it help them or America?

Non-traditional, sure, but goddamn it’s working for him. I’ve looked at these pics a little longer than I should be at 7am.

I’m in my 40s and I still don’t know what I wanna be when I grow up
