This is such a CHOON! #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfcW...

He nails it.

Slava Ukraini. ✊🇺🇦

This muthafukka really doesn't take a bad shot.

This used to be a pub, once upon a time. Now ... it's like something out of a horror film. #Cork #DerelictIreland

New Sam Fender album is really quite good. 🎧

Don't make me choose between them!

Never used AirBnB because of how it destroys the housing/rental markets, and now there's extra incentive to never use it.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back. Well done AP👏

By popular request, another timeline cleanse: I call this one “Mexican Standoff.” Two Patagonian Ibis—we call them Fred & Ethel—are staking claim to to the prairie. Our llamas & pacas, devout pacifists, are befuddled & incredulous. They cannot pass. The soundtrack? Southern lapwings & the Azul River

Leopards. Faces. Etc.

A political party is engaging in politics? 😮 Well I never! Seriously, Martin may as well just join Fine Gael at this point if hatred for Sinn Féin is gonna be his whole shtick. 🙄

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Being traded while holding a King's Rock does.

Fuck. More bad news.

Migraines suck. 😫 The ones I get aren't as debilitating as others who have them for days on end, but they still suck.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Trump's attacks on President Zelenskyy are an embarrassment to our country. The only dictator here is Vladimir Putin — who invaded Ukraine without provocation and who Donald Trump can't stop fawning over for some reason. The United States must continue to stand with Ukraine.

"Priced out of the housing market? Try living in a hut in your parents backyard" is now the official government stance We are so fucking cooked man

This government will do anything to solve the housing crisis, except actually building houses

Rory Hearne of @social-democrats.bsky.social expressed concern that "exemptions could be used by bad landlords to "squeeze more renters into unsuitable conditions". He's absolutely right. It's also going to be viewed by some as a way to become landlords more affordably.

FF/FG really hate young people. They want them living in their parents box room till they retire and want them miserable there too

Ireland has less than 5 years to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 51% And today, the government announced that new data centres can open, powered by burning fossil fuels.🤷‍♂️ We are going to face BILLIONS in fines to the EU while we tinker with our slurry spreaders. #ClimateCrisis #Ireland

Taoiseach Micheal Martin has referred to the delivery of 130k homes over 5yrs (2020-25) as “a step change”. In any 2yrs between 2002-2008 the total homes delivered exceeds this (example, 175k in 2005-06) The Taoiseach is correct. It is a step change. A step backwards.

Looking at you Ireland!

The Social Democrats TD Rory Hearne has described the proposal brought to Cabinet today, for an additional €450m to deliver 3,000 social and affordable homes, as 'completely inadequate'

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

It's a bit much to be reminded by Leo Varadkar of Ireland's duty to Europe when his government had to be forced by the Court of Justice of the European Union to charge Apple proper tax, and every year the FF/FG government incurs more fines for not meeting environmental targets.

We have a recruitment crisis in; 1. The Garda 2. Teaching 3. Construction. 4. Healthcare professionals. 5. The Civil Service. & We cannot retain or maintain our current defense forces because of poor pay and conditions, but hey lets crack on with a bigger army anyway.

Guardians of the Galaxy Any James Bond/Star Wars/Star Trek/Indiana Jones movie Jaws ET Back to the Future (+ sequels) The Godfather (+ sequels) The Shawshank Redemption Batman Begins & The Dark Knight (I did see Dark Knight Rises!) Goodfellas Ghostbusters I guess I'm just not a big movie person! 🤷‍♂️

Olaf Scholz: Germany will not accept outsiders intervening in the country's elections: "That is not done, certainly not among allies." He is right! A far-right hate-monger like Vance, who called Trump the American Hitler in 2016, today promotes the AfD's neo-Nazis. Germans: vote them out: #NoAfD!

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Leaving these beautiful homes longterm empty in a housing emergency is a social crime Surely it's time for use it or lose it We urgently need homes not assets South Tce, Cork City #DerelictIreland

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

In 2020, Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael committed to holding a referendum to extend presidential voting rights for Irish citizens in NI & abroad in the lifetime of the last government. They didn't. Both parties have dropped this pledge. I won't get to vote for my president this year.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

a reminder of why we need to record our own history, and hold it in our own archives
