Irish government make me so embarrassed and ashamed. Spineless losers propping up a technocolonial mess where there is one apartment to rent at any given time, flying over to lick the US’s boot, lowest environmental diversity in Europe. Shame on them all!!
You haven't truly topped until you've slung cock to the Battle of Endor soundtrack.
I think the song in question is fine on its merits if a bit maudlin but it's fallen into the Communicorp nexus and gets played on one of 3 major radio stations every 15 minutes which would make you hate anything.
It's you vs every shared online space, the print media and the Irish government
Every immigrant to Ireland I've known has remarked at some point or another at how intransigent and hostile the Dept of Justice and GNIB are yet you never hear that reflected in media coverage of the topic.
Glad to see Bacik immediately calling this out for what it is and that at least one centre-left party isn't happy playing footsie with racists.
If what the President said was obviously wrong, why is the cabinet minister remaining anonymous? Why don't they proudly step up and defend the indefensible? Because Catherine Connolly isn't wrong. She's speaking the truth and cowards are afraid we'll piss off the liars.
This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.
Seeing old Twitter mutuals post their dicks to BlueSky
Chancellor of the world's premier Do Nothing State which is the de facto leader of the Do Nothing Continent is now upset that Doing Nothing has enabled the US and Israel to do whatever they please to whoever they please
i asked local homeless guy who gets beat up every day for the keys to his house
He really is Turbo Nixon
An Irish influencer in Dubai shared this - and while i wish them no harm, I just can’t stand them
People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive
Are we just gonna recycle the same dozen politicians from 25 years ago until they're all dead?
And this is precisely why it would be terrible for us to join NATO. Every Irish government would fall in line with every harebrained Yank misadventure, bowing, scraping and tugging the forelock while declaring themselves delighted to be finally playing senior hurling.
if you remotely care about the iranian people and are vaguely familiar with even the basic notes of their history what you should be feeling is a deep deep sadness that this is a people that has been denied the right to effectively self-determine by both the khomeiniists and those bombing them
Leo Varadkar suggesting Ireland's migration policies may be performative cruelty #Spéirgorm

Darragh's tyranny over similarly oaky names like Darach, Dara and Daragh continues with typical disregard for good taste.
Dáire outranks Daire, which "raises questions".
i’ve never hated anyone this much
'Data centres will take a third of power by 2030'
Ireland's government wants to make us a digital slop farm.
And in the process, almost certainly miss climate targets.
Very few jobs or tangible benefits, but easily wowed and awed by big tech.

This was our landlord in Dublin - they bought our entire housing estate in 2021, started ignoring our maintenance issues and we had to take them to the RTB to get our security deposit returned.
It's so fun waking up at 5.30am and getting a full hour alone in the dark with my thoughts
You're thinking of Oswald Moseley's spawn but it's all the same poisoned well.
I don't think I have Fat Cock Friday in my heart this week
I'm having a Gen Z style PowerPoint night in my new job and I've decided to teach the Canadians about the Celtic Tiger, and the frivolities that ensued in the 90s and 00s. I need ideas of the most ridiculous things you remember from that era. ☘️🐅
Daily reminder that women have to suffer a “pause” - not for any recommended healthcare, moral or best practice reason.
But because FG needed to convince one man.
A man who is now irrelevant. Any argument for retaining the “pause” must address this fact first.
