2/2 A lot of social media activity gives the impression of a bullying campaign with Ireland as whipping boy when far less has been deployed against countries with far more economic or diplomatic clout such as 🇪🇸 or 🇳🇴. It would be nice to see 🇮🇪 get a little backing from some of those countries

1/2 Here's a 🧵on the nonsense that Ireland was some kind of sinister antisemitic outlier in playing football against Nazi Germany in 1935, when the team representing Hitler's regime was receiving the same kind of shameful reception across Europe

Five days since my family and I were told I might not make it through the night. Every day is a celebration

My time in this world is very likely to come to an end in the coming days - although I'll keep trying to push it out a bit. Huge thanks to my old friend @gavinsblog.bsky.social for these kind words and appeal on behalf of my family. Love each other. Be kind

This means a lot coming from the big bro I took my earliest lessons in values from. I have an amazing family, and now there's a young generation that will carry those values after I'm long gone

My favourite part of this is that Ireland's weather is so shite that yes, it rains indoors

AI-generated image of a woman seated at a piano. It is raining outside - and also apparently inside as rain falls in the light of a lamp.

Important distinction. The culture of obsequious compliance in US political media is crucial to the impunity the regime enjoys

4/4 The club has its centenary in 2028. I've no doubt we'll be celebrating that back - and competitive - in the Premier Division. If you've never heard of us, or even Sligo, come along for a visit to the historic Showgrounds, with its backdrop of the myth-shrouded Benbulben & Knocknarea mountains

Eoghan Sweeney @eoghan.eurosky.social · 15/09/2026

3/4 I look toward the future with confidence and optimism. A restructuring is aimed at attracting and making possible fresh investment, while in Darren Purse we have a coach with a track record at Cardiff of developing young talent, with an academy that has turned out a series of excellent players

Eoghan Sweeney @eoghan.eurosky.social · 15/09/2026

2/4 The past few seasons have seen it become increasingly difficult to compete with the resources of other clubs. But the Bit o' Red have come through bigger challenges. We - & I feel justified in saying we, as a shareholder in the Sligo football and Sport Development Society - will be back

Eoghan Sweeney @eoghan.eurosky.social · 15/09/2026

1/4 Another defeat means relegation is inevitable for my beloved Sligo Rovers. A run in the top flight that goes back to 2005 would be impressive enough for the fan-owned club. But it also included a spell that brought a league title, 3 FAI Cups, a League Cup & a Setanta Sports Cup

He's so good I hadn't even noticed until I saw your comment and went back and watched the video again. Great for Maksym to have that example in front of him and see what's possible

There's an almost gleeful quality to the reporting when they think the right are going to prevail

I picked up some value a couple of years ago when mirrorless came out and people decided their lightly used DSLRs were suddenly no good - and even their lenses. That only needed a cheap adapter. Got a D780 for a relative pittance - it's full-frame and the low-light performance is superb

This isn't doing a lot to dispel the idea that when Trump regime people visit Moscow, they're just there to get instructions from their handlers. Make America great again? Make America Putin's lapdog

2/2 If I like your site/channel & find it useful, I'll be bookmarking it to go back anyway. And I'll even give some of my favourites - like www.youtube.com/@TheBergreens - an occasional plug, on the basis that someone in my Bluesky circles may appreciate them

1/2 I'd rather websites didn't ask for email sign-up to get a useful free gift (e.g. cheat sheet pdf) but I accept it can be part of marketing for a small biz. I do like when they immediately send their 1st email (to my dedicated "Offers" address) & it has a prominent "Unsubscribe" link

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

It does but, with the camera on high-speed burst at 5-10 shots per second, the photographer will have other moments where Trump looks happy and comfortable. Photo desk editors will routinely choose a photo on the basis of how well it illustrates or represents the mood of the accompanying article

I curate the fuck out of my Bluesky but a bit of this has seeped through due to it being posted/shared by people I would have been inclined to trust or respect - who are how regrettably unfollowed

"It's unfair to suggest that while I'm not in a position to defend myself due to having my tongue deep in our esteemed visitor's arsehole." Martin is a disgrace - has he an iota of self-respect?

From this side of the world it's bizarre to see the regime send out a representative who was elected by nobody - and the supposed "opposition" obsequiously accept this person as a legitimate interlocutor. The US is badly broken and the Democratic party doesn't look like it's capable of fixing it

When I started to take digital photography seriously I suddenly switched to Nikon after years of Canon. As an amateur, changing systems meant you were looking for value for money, particularly in glass. The D70 came bundled with what's sold way short by calling it a "kit lens". Never looked back

Pointless and all as it is, it'd be nice if members of the Seanad had some understanding of how the country's laws work

Eoghan Sweeney @eoghan.eurosky.social · 13/09/2026

Yep. I also have a longstanding objection to the idea of a photo showing "exactly..." Anyone with the slightest interest in photography knows that a difference of a tiny fraction of a second between when two frames were captured can convey an entirely different message

Ah now, are you suggesting he wasn't decisively put in his place by the Uachtarán's masterfully timed side-eye?

Eoghan Sweeney @eoghan.eurosky.social · 13/09/2026

Theoretically it should be a slam dunk. But put your average Irish vote in a polling booth and their courage would quickly desert them, and the voice would be willing for "the devil you know"

Eoghan Sweeney @eoghan.eurosky.social · 12/09/2026

Apart from the bit where they tried to imprison a guy under false pretenses, it would take a heart of stone not to find this fucking hilarious

Great stuff. Any chance of you doing road bowling (rhymes with "scowling") at some stage!

You might be onto something. The Sugarcubes' debut album came out in 1988. Maybe this was a desperate move by Iceland to spark the emergence of another indie rock masterpiece

One thing I find funny about criticisms of Bluesky (and other social platforms) are the descriptions of a "bubble). I'm here to share news and ideas with people I find pleasant and/or interesting. When I go to the pub I don't feel bound to listen to every boring and/or offensive prick in the place
