The more I read about this, I’ve come to one conclusion. This is retaliation. All the online right-wing needed was an excuse to mobilise farmers. They got that with the Mercosur deal. But why would flood-the-zone-with-shit fash care about that? www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Jack Smith is a man of honor and moral conviction. He is the kind of person we as a nation must become like once more.
Screenshot of a post by Blue Georgia on X quoting a question about requesting a public hearing and a response attributed to Jack Smith. The response states that career public servants have been vilified and someone needs to speak up for them. Below the text is a video still showing Jack Smith seated at a table with microphones in front of him, appearing to testify in a congressional hearing room, with another man seated beside him and wood-paneled walls in the background.

I don’t even know where to start with House of Guinness. Everything about it is a nightmarish mishmash of Oirish tropes from 19th Century Punch magazine. Frankly, I think it’s racist. That whole mess with “Cloonboo” and the effects of the famine made me feel ill at how they cheapened a genocide.

Get ready for his next move. Addressing the plebs from *the roof*, while standing in front of a huge American flag draped over the side. He’ll have the military and ICE personnel parading in front of him, all stepping nice and high. With a special salute, just for him.

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

An excellent article from Fintan O’Toole in today’s @irishtimes.com . Columbia University has turned its back on everything a university is supposed to be. It has appeased authoritarianism. Shameful and pathetic to see it. Enjoy burning your books. 😡 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Fintan O'Toole: If you want to see how democracies cede to autocracies, watch as US universities bend to Trump
If a rich and famous institution such as Columbia doesn’t stand up for itself, what chance have millions of ordinary people?

It's all I care about on TV these days, and it's worth it. #Andor is some of the best drama I've ever watched. I LOVE it. Everything folds into the story eventually, everything has a purpose, even senseless deaths. And they made me cry at the end of ep 9. Diego Luna & Adria Arjona are incredible.

Mild Spoiler: it's a testament to the quality of writing in Andor that one of the best and easily the most relatable scene in all of Star Wars is a fascist collapsing onto his bed in a panic attack because his mom won't stop being mean to him

I’ve just finished the latest #Andor episode batch. All I can say is HOLY SHIT!!! Is it possible to be in love with a TV series? Because I am. It’s *heartbreaking* and brilliant and so real. From intergalactic numbers stations to a rebel without a cause, I can’t get enough. Also, GILOU! (IFKYK)

Watching Season 2 of Andor (no spoilers) one of whose central messages seems to be “do whatever you can to resist fascism, despite being absolutely terrified of the consequences”, and for that reason alone I love it.

Trump is an ignorant, selfish, spineless little scut of a man. A thug. A bully. An unmitigated, ocean-going cunt. Fuck him and that prick he has as a vice-president. A shameful disgrace for a president. He can’t hold a candle to Zelenskyy and wishes he was like him. He never will be. Not ever.

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire 43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

Made it through #StormEowyn and it was every bit as scary as we thought it would be. Power went, broadband too, and the house shook and groaned all night. I’ve never heard wind like it and the rain was intense for a while. Wish I could share a recording of the wind here. 😬🫣

Right, lads. Not a word of a lie. I’m a bit scared right now. This is just the beginning and the wind in Waterville (Kerry) is quite something. And I found a dusty old camping stove in a shed (as we’ll probably lose power), but nobody remembers how to use it. 😞

On Searching for a Book of Stamps
 
check in wallet
check once more
hunt through bag
look in drawer
 
feel coat pockets
peer in pot
rifle desk
find them not
 
shake out shoes
lift up hat
inspect fridge
ask the cat
 
scour the shelves
peek in purse
turn out cupboards
swear & curse
 
go to shop
buy new stamps
put in wallet
next to stamps

This is some storm. The difference between Killybegs in Donegal and Derry City is quite stark. It’s hitting 90kmh in Killybegs, 7kmh in Derry. And all I can hear is a roar from wind and sea in south west Kerry. #StormDarragh
