Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The fact that massive festivals sell out in minutes with no line up announcements just goes to show that the industry now more than ever dictates what people like. 010
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There’s still tickets available folks … m.youtube.com/watch?v=1zGY...m.youtube.comThe Songs On The Radio / Herb DeeYouTube video by Herb Dee 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That photo pose reminds me of the song … “A shit called dignity” 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Can I ask how many submissions you got for your last publication? 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Oscar Wilde said it first To make art, you need a thirst. If what you do, does not excite you much Then your just a lush herbdee.bandcamp.com/track/nobody...herbdee.bandcamp.comNobody Cares, by Herb Deefrom the album Playlist 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Interesting article from RTE telling you that you will never amount to anything as an author by a guy who has had one book published and regards himself as an industry guru www.rte.ie/culture/2026... #speirgormrte.ieEveryone is a writer now — but what does being a writer mean?I've taught creative writing for years, in universities, writers' centres, libraries and festivals, online and in person, and the people who come to these courses are always wildly different. 151
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A bit of appetite whetting … m.youtube.com/watch?v=x-HD...m.youtube.comHerb Dee - MemoriesYouTube video by Herb Dee 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So the RTE short story competition has come around again and this time I didn’t even get the “We’re sorry you didn’t make it” email. It’s the little things… 100
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It would be great if they stood still in their positions for 90 minutes 010
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 26/09/2026S’pose it’s gonna happen considering most of them aren’t really Irish and ergo empathic #speirgorm 010
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Why does the music industry continue to produce artwork for albums as if it’s primary format is LP? 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 20/09/2026There’s a lot of American people on here saying petrol prices are a red line issue in their upcoming elections. Do you not realise you are now buying Venezuelan oil at elevated prices now that Hormuz is off the table. And who owns the control of Venezuelan oil? Democracy didn’t stop Hitler. 001
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 19/09/2026@towerrecordsdublin.bsky.social Thanks for allowing some dick to rip down the poster I had for this gig at your cash desk. Good that you didn’t take down the poster of the 50 year old guy into teenagers. 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Is this code for “they said no to genocide”? #speirgorm 120
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I’m sure his rellies in Dublin 1 are approachable. It would be easy enough to get the suggestion to him 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Around one million people in the North either want a single Ireland, or wouldn't object to it So RTE get James Geoghegan on to give his opinion from the leafy Rathgar never having talked to a Northern Irish person and being an advocate of the type of trickle down society it used to be 010
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If Troy said no, that would be it. The FAI board would have to resign. 180
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I’m not fishing for sympathy but I reckon this will resonate with some folk 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Nobody has ever given me advice because the assumption is always that I’m delusional to aspire to writing before anyone has even read a word. You know, when you’ve written 4 novels and your mum who’s never read any of it suggests you do a creative writing course. 100
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Kind of funny that a compromised government it system is sold as purely a Revolut issue #speirgorm 074
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Apologies there is. There’s 3 short paragraphs buried under a teenage murder trial in Malaysia 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The leaders of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are doing something historic and the BBC website makes no reference #speirgorm 141
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It shows the utter ignorance of RTÉ and Martin to push this rubbish As a member of the European trading block, the USA cannot decouple Ireland from the block as a trading partner But when they realise that Trump has played them for Irish leprechaun alcoholics, they’ll be saying that was on purpose 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I can only imagine that in an alternative universe he would have been irritated by the minutiae of the border counties credit union association 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Point of information* Went bankrupt in the UK to avoid Irish law!!! 030
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Took a genocidal Nazi for Michael Martin to realise he was the leader of the republican party. 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Just heard a trailer for a movie about the weather forecasting for D day. Lots of male English voices in the clip but I thought it was an Irish woman who got it right? 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Will Donny be going head to head with Shane and Rory over the weekend, given that there all at the same level? #speirgorm 020
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The SEAI provides 100% grants for people in fuel poverty as well. It’s disingenuous to attribute their good work to him just because he’s the current minister. www.seai.ie/grants/home-...seai.ieHome Energy Upgrades and GrantsDiscover SEAI's home energy upgrade options and individual grants. 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 10/09/2026@president.ie make sure to keep the windows open so the smell can escape 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Ok, so you can come from Somalia, and only learn Irish. And then become a gealgoir. You can then get your citizenship and can live anywhere in Europe. And legally everyone is fine with that. For context, I certainly don’t have a problem but it shows you the law according to Fianna Fáil is an ass! 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I’m sure Tim Berners Lee didn’t think when he was writing his white paper on the invention of the internet, that it would ever become a universal vassal for fascism and hatred… 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I’m just wondering - just on the off chance - in case we’re not sure - in the unlikely event - you know with social media and all that - just so I can be sure - in case anyone asks - and people might have been unsure - and they needed to know themselves Has anyone read any good news stories today? 000
Herb Dee @herbdee.bsky.social · 09/09/2026There’s a lot of lazy people out there. They might get up early in the morning to go to the office (Simon) but they make sure they do sod all when they get there, and they get rewarded for using Ai to write redundant reports that go nowhere. (Especially in the public sector) 010
