I'm not against you having ads at all. The provider or whatever it's called isn't serving ads in a way that your content can still be seen, which is really sad. Maybe it's a quirk of my own phone/browser, but I'm flagging it as I genuinely love your stuff and it's clear a lot of work goes in to it

I love your website but the ads have unfortunately made it unusable on a mobile browser :( they cover the entire screen and it isn't possible to close them

It's Michael D on the BMX but MORE

This (North) Americans misunderstanding Irish posts thing always results in "as an *embarrassed* American I apologise for all my *ignorant* countrymen and I hope you don't think all of us, especially *me* act this way", yes thank you continue to centre yourselves in everything instead of just 🤐

For the benefit oooof...?

Great piece. 'lack of ambition' hits the nail on the head

Diarmaid Ferriter: Two out of three candidates for the presidency can’t speak fluent Irish. That matters During the 2011 general election campaign, the leaders of the three main parties debated in Irish. That can’t happen now

The flags are now inside the grounds of Christ Church, and they've painted some kind of mural on the ground on Capel Street 🫠

no one hates Dublin more than the people who run it example number 17493728283729

TG4 and RTÉ have had some really on the ball people picking music for their programmes and ads for as long as I can remember. Von Dutch on the Week in Politics segment on the election tonight is inspired lol

View of Dublin from Christ Church Cathedral

Went to Christ Church as part of Oíche Chultúir and we suddenly found this small door and went through it and next thing we knew we were up here. Anyway long story short if you heard the bells ringing randomly at c. 19:00, it was probably me crashing the last bell ringing lesson of the evening

Girls & Boys review: Wildly impressive Irish debut features tremendous performances and a magical soundtrack Donncha Gilmore allows the film to wander romantically yet never lets the pace slack

A beautiful film called Girls & Boys is out today which I highly recommend. I have zero bias whatsoever 👀 but genuinely it's gorgeous and set in a dreamy Dublin and the leads are wonderful and the soundtrack is perfect

A few years back Varadkar said that nightclub opening hours and licencing arrangements needed to be reviewed "for tourism"... as if they couldn't possibly justify the existence of a fun thing in Ireland without tourists.

It's exhausting. People live here.

Typically the flags on the quays around now would be for Culture Night, which is happening this Friday (yay). What are they now? "NFL". Who is Dublin even for anymore?

A sign on a wall with a cross over the Air BNB logo and text that reads "Holiday and short-term lets are illegal in this apartment development as it is located in one of Dublin City's rent pressure zones. If you have rented an apartment on a holiday or short-term basis, you are a party to illegal activity and could face consequences. The management company"

Saw this in Temple Bar yesterday, hope to see more of them

I think about this nearly every day

Abortion: Europe’s not as liberal as you think While the global focus is on America’s reversal of long-standing abortion rights, a surprising number of European women still have to travel to terminate pregnancies.

In the past 50 years, abortion rights in Europe have changed drastically, with most EU countries allowing women to terminate pregnancies under certain conditions.

Yet, some things haven’t changed: Every year, thousands of women in Europe still travel across the bloc to get an abortion.

It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo 😴

Went to the IFI for the first time I'm a while. They had a slightly different version of the Europa Cinemas thing, it was strangely disconcerting

We ALL thought this was their cover of him initially.... Didn't we? All of us? 👀

Sometimes I see a weirdly incendiary argument on this site and I can't figure out what they disagree about, then I look at their pages to ascertain their big ideological impasse and I can't find it... I think it's largely US stuff I don't understand and maybe I need to mind my own business 🤷‍♀️

Twice in 24 hours I have been suggested videos on YouTube of women doing something (house renovation, running a race) and having narration by a British man over it, in the third person ofc, and it's... just the most self-indulgent thing I've seen for a while. It's so icky. I can't explain it
