Harvard Gazette: Gazette: “You are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?” Groff: “I understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Remember - if it's OK to call @paulmurphy.pbp.ie et al "far left" or "hard left" for saying that people deserve homes and basic services, then it's entirely OK for you to call politicians "far right" and "racist" when they try to blame a housing disaster they created on immigrants.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Every minute without a strong statement from the Irish government about the arson and attempted murder in Drogheda is another minute of silent acquiescence to the far right - by remaining silent, the govt is making it very clear which side they are on.
Everyone who is here, belongs here.

DJ Carey will not face a jail sentence for fraud, he will only face a jail sentence for fraud of the wrong type of people!!

For those keeping count, Simon Harris "took to social media" to decry the shooting of Charlie Kirk the following day. He's gone cycling today, apparently.

Immigration is not a metric you can use to win over racists.

There is no number that is right for them. That’s not the point.

The point is to have someone to blame for problems they don’t intend to fix.

Fascists win votes by promising to solve problems caused by an enemy only they can defeat.

Remember - the Irish government was told years ago when the total was still well under 10,000 how to eradicate homelessness by the man who did so in Finland, and it just ... didn't bother.
And since then, the majority of you kept voting for them.
Well done, everyone. Well done. 👍

Great analysis Kevin👍 I wonder was the excrement covered spoilt vote included in the population sampled?, although I believe Maria Steen's camp are counting that as one of her votes!!

In Europe, at least, they have now moved on to these!!!

I'm not sure that we should be entrusting any future presidential election legislation changes to 2 parties who both ran their presidential election campaigns so badly that 1 lost their candidate and their deposit and the other lost by a historic margin and the candidate is being sued for defamation

In the 2018 election, five of the six candidates ran as independents, and Sinn Fèin was the only party to run a candidate. In 2011 it was four of seven.
The idea that it is too hard to get on the ballot is complete and utter nonsense - Steen and the rest didn't do the work. End of story.

Ya, I'm sure the countries that met and sometimes exceeded those MINIMUM targets will be open to listening to Ireland excuses again.

Hmmm..what's the common denominator..

David Quinn • @DavQuinn • 3h (Further to my comments on RTE yesterday, and please read to end!) Those who run @FineGael probably think people like me want them to re-embrace the 8th amendment or something like that. We know that is totally unrealistic. But here are some things they could do (in no particular order): 1. Admit immigration is too high. 2. Stop pandering to left-wing NGOs and the left in general. 3. Defend free speech. 4. Stand up to those who think men are toxic. 5. Admit men can't get pregnant. 6. Oh, and give tax-payers a break for crying out loud, like you're supposed to do! You're Fine Gael, after all.

Amazing how a few spoiled votes gives them the confidence to say the quiet part out loud & hoping to shift the Overton Window with a few far right dog whistles. Especially in a country that has just voted overwhelmingly for a socialist, inclusive, anti war head of state. #speirgorm #Áras2025

I realise this isn't the point but if I'm reading this right, we're about to get ourselves President CMAC #áras25 #spéirgorm

Two journal.ie posts one after another, one about a ballot smeared with excrement, the next one about Peadar Tobin spoiling his vote

This could be just a pure coincidence on the placement, there is just no way to find out!!

Van Houten's "I sleep in a racecar bed" scene from the simpsons but hes say he voted for Elvis presley

The spoiled votes are giving this energy #aras25

An aspect of Irish politics is how the standard of gombeen politicians rarely translates to good leaders or presidential candidates. We have been lucky that when noteworthy people go for the Presidency that they have been successful, the 2 Mary's, Miggeldy, and now Catherine.
#Aras25 #speirgorm

Agree, we are crying out for leaders in this country instead of whatever the hell Mícheál and Simon are.

Podium meme show Catherine Connolly in first place, Heather Humphries in second place, spoil your vote crowd celebrating in third place.

Irish media not being able to help themselves today!!!
