Lads, Lassies, Ladles and Gellyspoons, it is Sunday the 22nd of December and it’s time to face one simple truth; either Star Trek got this date slightly wrong, or we are about to have the most epic nine days in Irish history. #SpéirGhorm #Treksky

But this event already *appears* in a treaty. The timeline's part of the Good Friday Agreement. (details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Ireland ) The thing that has to happen first: an island-wide referendum. Hasn't been one. And won't, between now and New Year's, because HOLIDAYS. (sigh) Sorry.
(to all others involved in this issue: yes, yes, this is a gross oversimplification of the issues, I'm researching roast beef recipes right now, gimme a break, okay?) 🤣
The way these things typically go in Star Trek, unification was either prevented by an illicit time traveller, or someone from an alternate universe, or earth passed through a space anomaly, or time space eating bacteria were involved.
With the year the DUP has had so far, you wouldn’t rule it out. Epic meltdown, storming out of Stormont, and a landslide elections of republicans and other nationalists before 31/1/2024 isn’t *impossible*.
It either happens far into the future, or it will be very bad for everyone. I wouldn't wish for it to be quick, even if it is already 100 years overdue.
As I keep telling people, when you see what else the Star Trek timeline has in store for us this century, I'm more than happy for it to be wrong about Irish Unification.
At this point I think I'd rather wait the extra few days than get paranoid that Star Trek might have got its dates right.
I have said before that we should team up with Northern Ireland and Scotland and become the Brittanic Independent Territories of Caledonia Hibernia. But I mostly want that so we could name our new shared parliament the BITCHfest.

A bit like “End of Classical Era” marked by the death of Hypatia of Alexandria.
Keep hope.
I mean, there's even a timeline where Ireland has always been unified. 😉🖖🏾

I know which timeline I'm in.
Also, check for an eyepatch or scars.
my true love gave to me
