The NASDAQ Index over the past year- you can literally see the time that Donald Trump became US President 🙄

This is it.

It was also his choice to delete his accounts, which successfully shifted the narrative from WHAT he said to his “right to say it”

Twitter is basically unusable with the right wing bots.

The scariest prospect is these faceless accounts shaping public opinion

Good to see you on here. My resolution is to use this platform more

It benefits us all for our neighbours not be destitute & starving.

The money invested in welfare comes back to community businesses & alleviates some strain on health care systems & homeless facilities.

Arguing for welfare cuts is cruel, but it is also economically illiterate

What an odd way to frame this?

Southern voters believe everyone’s votes should count the same in United Ireland.

This isn’t a controversial position. In most countries it would be a given.

Still can’t get over #GAACatfish from The 2 Johnnies.

I barely had time to listen to the 3 hour long podcasts & I am now discovering that there are people out there who can co-ordinate multiple online identities, co-ordinate the relationships, all while holding down a full time job

So we got a new member of the family today

Welcome to the family Woody

Christmas List progress- Getting there, better than usual #Christmas2024

Is this happening for anyone else?

Feels like this site is still working out a few kinks

This is hilarious- is it a bot of some sort?

Right, now that #GE24 is over, I think we are getting into a quieter time where the biggest stories will be Christmas related.

No better time for me to move my primary platform to Bluesky

Hope things get better Elaine.

Sorry to hear you are being pestered as well

I am both dumbfounded and a little bit envious of anyone who can allow an election to go past without engaging at all.

For so many people (41% at least) the past 3 weeks have just been normal November/December days in the run up to Christmas- bizarre #GE24

I strongly believe that there will be a time in the future when countries like Britain will look back and wish that inward migration had been even higher

The M50 is an absolute nightmare when something goes wrong. I used to live off Junction 11 and if there was a sniff of any kind of accident, I’d avoid like that plague

One thing that has REALLY bothered me over the past few days is the number of young men who have almost instinctively lined up behind Conor McGregor.

I have two sons and I would genuinely be horrified if they were spouting this stuff 15-20 years from now

The media have a part to play in this issue- they should be taking the heat out of this issue, not stirring it up

Well Twitter became absolutely unusable during the immigration debate of #RTEUpfront

Well if he knocks out a party leader and minister, that would be quite the scalp.

Ah ok- betting odds look pretty tight for that last seat

Which two though? 👀

Just seen this Séamas- hope alls ok and tests went well.

These are great btw!

I actually wish every party did them

Just the volume of news and developments is much greater on Twitter, and during a campaign like #GE24 that’s necessary.

I think Bluesky will get there, but it’s just not there yet

When #GE24 is over, I’m going to make an effort to use Bluesky as my primary platform.

Unfortunately for the next few days, it will still have to be Twitter/X

Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to websites he dislikes The delayed websites include X’s online rivals Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and Substack as well as Reuters and the New York Times, all of which Musk previously has singled out for ridicule or attack.

This is more than enough reason to move to alternatives

The big advantage of Twitter (in the day) was getting news in real time, but if thats not true anymore, then what even is the point? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I have a good feeling about Laois- anyone who has Maria McCormack wittten off may want to rethink based on the reception she has been getting across the towns

Vote Maria McCormack in Laois! #GE24

I joined a while back but didn’t use it much. But since I started getting loads of follow notifications, it’s brought me back to it
