Ronan made his way by bus from Abbey Street to Howth some time before 4pm on Thurs May 14th. Our best hope of recovering him is by establishing an exact timeline of his movements. Please check Ring/dashcam footage and help us bring Ronan home. #speirgorm #dublin #howth #smithfield #abbeyst

Weekend pupdate, Letty is settling in well. Was actually calm on the couch last night as opposed to so excited that she had to nibble on arms, cushions, or whatever was close by

Do people not understand capitalism? I mean, it'd be nice but what are the chances... Government should start organising free public transport, and increasing the amount/routes #spéirghorm

First 20 minute walk since January. Hopefully on the road to recovery. Back problems are no fun. Now I just need to be able to sit down for longer than 10 minutes without pain.

Can anyone tell me exactly what the fuel protestors want? Or expect to happen? And why they think shutting down transport will achieve their aims? #speirghorm

If there are no consequences then it is de facto permitted. If the consequence is a fine, well, a fine is a price. Vandalism on this scale SHOULD have consequences.

Andor, a Disney+ show about resisting fascism, just won 5 Emmys. Three days later, the network caved to it.

This is the Rebellion manifesto written by the character Nemik from the series Andor. It offers a guideline for hope while under threat from tyranny and inspiration for those brave enough to stand up and fight.

"A MAJOR SHARE of Conor McGregor’s social media posts promoting his presidential ambitions on X contained false or misleading claims, according to a new report." Really? Wow, who'd a thunk it eh? #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #Áras2025 www.thejournal.ie/mcgregor-pre...

thejournal.ie

Over half of McGregor's presidential campaign posts on X filled with false claims and threats

A report from EDMO Ireland has found that his rhetoric, amplified by Elon Musk, normalised misinformation during his bid.

Germany so panicked at the perception of being seen as antisemitic will punch a peaceful protestor in the face. Of images that sum up the country’s position on Israel Gaza it will be forever referenced in history

Deer, seals, the whole bunch... People will willfully ignore signage and instructions for a photo. This is also wildlife crime. The only thing for it is wardens, fines, and a culture of shaming those who believe they should be allowed to approach, feed, or pick up wildlife for fun.

Just to clear up any confusion: Our latest pilot programme in the PRIVATE sector was 100% successful. A council in the PUBLIC sector made their 4-day week permanent last week. Reducing the working week without reducing pay works in BOTH sectors. /

Four day week made permanent at council / 100% successful rate in latest 4-day week pilot.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

I hate these articles. As though great wealth is the end game. What about someone who came from absolute poverty and now has a stable job, decent house and pays their bills. Stop glorifying the extraordinary- getting to be average and not worrying about bills is massive.
