This opinion should be a jailable offence. The state cannot let people like this interact with innocent people. This is the most humane option for these dangerous freaks.

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

As of Cabinet yesterday, one now needs the ability to communicate in order to be considered a citizen. Yet in the first three months of 2026, not a single child in ten counties was given a plan on how the State would deliver them with speech and language therapy. This week’s column @thejournal.ie:

Gavan Reilly: Six months by law. 24.3 months in reality. Ireland's disability numbers don't add up
The eye-watering numbers of children waiting for Assessment of Need in this country expose a broken system offering little hope to families.

Insanity. The government have revealed a plan to raise the cost of the bus, Luas and train. The climate is on fire, congestion is increasing, cost of living is up. This is the exact opposite to what should be done. Contact your TDs now and help stop this madness.

A middle aged woman follows a young black man in Smithfield, Dublin 7. She tries to antagonise him for a bad reaction. He simply films her without saying anything. Imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed? Fair play to him for his composure. Shame on her for behaving so badly.

It is really inevitable though Stephen? We already pay for our water, through our taxes and our rates. Irish Water has once again raised the salaries of its executive team and CEO to nearly €400,000. So perhaps we should be getting them to do their jobs rather than squeeze us for more money.

Public opinion swings SHARPLY in favour of the shark.
"We went off fishing for sharks along the coast of Co
Waterford," Mr Achim told 'All About Cork with Paul Byrne', adding that when he landed what was his first-ever Blue Shark, it "lunged" at him.
"I finally managed to land my first Blue Shark and while I was admiring the catch, the catch decided to lunge at my leg and grab my calf," he said.
"It managed to rip part of my calf and do damage that we required special services for."

Notes From Plague Island 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇸💙🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦🇵🇸 🇲🇽 @plagueisland.com · 07/08/2026
300 days ago, Israel and Hamas agreed a ceasefire. In those 300 days, Israel has killed at least 300 Palestinian children. That is a child a day, every day, for the length of the “truce”. When the word ceasefire covers the killing of a child every single day, it has stopped describing peace.

The way we stop upland fires is dramatic rewetting and rewilding of our hills and reducing emissions like it's a life or death situation... Using every lever available to the state domestically and internationally to immediately cut emissions everywhere. It's literally the only way we can stop them

There's a lot of issues all wrapped up in here obviously, but the extent to which some English people believe that the Irish are lower ranked subjects, who should be forced in line by coercion (economic or otherwise), is never less than staggering to me.
