Ok Bluesky it's rare I ask for help. But this time I need huge help from the #osint community and #speirgorm #speirghorm, and everyone who follows me. I have a goal to raise up to €100,000 for a long time friend and colleague who is going to leave us.

So a bit of schmoozing and golf was all it took to remove the tarriffs off Irish Whiskey? Any golf courses near the Straits of Hormuz…? #speirgorm #Ireland #speirghorm #trump @atrupar.com

She lost every single one of her puppies last time she gave birth. Luckily this time we found her in time. She has all the support she needs now. I called her Katie Taylor for the weekend that is in it ❤️

My first dog, Buddy. The naughtiest thing she ever did was to dig under a family member’s garden shed while she was being minded there. Promptly got stuck, unable to get back out. The shed had to be completely emptied and the neighbours had to lift the shed up to get her out. God, I loved her ❤️

So very sad about #GlenHansard this evening.The Set List was the soundtrack to my 20s. Was privileged to see The Frames in Whelans years ago. Not just an enormous musical loss to Ireland but his advocacy and fundraising for Dublin’s homeless community are unparalleled. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

If only Ireland had beaten Czechia on penalties and then defeated Denmark, before beating South Korea, South Africa, Mexico, Ecuador and England, we could have been playing Argentina in the World Cup semi-final this evening. Football really is a game of fine margins.

A few things the two racist rapists in the Oval today will never understand: St. Patrick was an immigrant. St. Patrick's Day has travelled the world thanks to Irish immigrants. #StPatricksDay is an immigrant's holiday about an immigrant. ☘️ It is a celebration of immigration ☘️ #Speirgorm

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

I want to post some thoughts for anyone Christmassing with older relatives who notices things being a bit odd this year. It’s a common time to recognise some dementia symptoms in someone you love, because we all get together for several days instead of just a few hours
