Chris O’Dowd apparently with the bizarre opinion that Linehan wasn’t given many platforms by the media to talk about his hateful views 🤦‍♀️ I guess good of O’Dowd to make clear how unaffected by hate he is the same week as the release of his new show.

You either die an Irishman or live long enough to see yourself become an Englishman

Dogg they are desperate

We've all worked for or with a Patrick O'Donovan in our lives and not one of us has one good thing to say about this type of person

this is genuinely so fucking annoying. this is also the guy who tried to important decades-old war on christmas rhetoric when the live nativity at the mansion house was cancelled by a mayor due to animal welfare concerns. now importing DOGE-esque nonsense. loser behaviour.

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

Catherine Connolly for the Áras, is it?

If Luigi walks because of David Zaslav and Eric Adams I will laugh so hard I will probably have a stroke and die.

"Killing Gawker was a trial run for a media takeover."

“Always look for the helpers”. This is worth reading in a time where a lot of us feel like everything is hopeless. People like John Furlong did what they could in an atmosphere of total intimidation and fear. There was a lot at stake. www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

This seems like as good a time as any to say that I AM ALL FOR POLITICAL SPEECHES at the Oscars this year! A lot of them! Loud and long! deadline.com/2025/02/no-o...

Never let them tell you that Irishness is some set, immutable fact of the blood

Thanks to Dr Niamh Ni Dhomhnaill for writing this important piece for the Irish Examiner - about the use of counselling notes in court, from both her personal experience as a rape survivor and her clinical experience as a pyschologist www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Waiting on the final report after yesterday's x-rays to find out whether it's a fracture... But in a ridiculous but pretty on-brand turn of events, it turns out I also have an extra bone in my foot 🤦‍♀️🤣

The attorney general told government that replacing the Occupied Territories Bill rather than amending it would be a "political choice" and not a legally necessary one. He also said there's 'a stronger and more defensible legal basis' for the bill. www.ontheditch.com/attorney-gen...

Their Director of Housing was on @news.rte.ie this evening, I looked him up because I was surprised by his poor arguments in the interview. He has zero planning or housing qualifications & zero planning or housing industry experience 🤔 Beyond silly that RTÉ gave them a platform. #SpéirGorm

In Ireland you can drive two tons of metal around like a lunatic, take someone's life and destroy their family then just walk out the door. www.rte.ie/news/connach...

I’ve got a referral for A&E tomorrow morning where I’ll likely be all day & of course my kindle charging cable has just completely disappeared on me tonight 😭

We're going to be on TV over the next few weeks on a programme called Saol na Feirme, looking at the lives of farmers across the country. It's in Irish, with English subtitles, and it'll be on RTÉ 1 at 8:30pm on Monday nights for the next six weeks. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #SaolNaFeirme

Cultural contribution and international recognition shouldn't outweigh or bury someone's behaviour towards women, and it's frustrating to see it happen again and again.

The JD Vance team flagged my TikToks for impersonation and had my account banned for making fun of him in a doughnut shop.

Ireland's rugby dads, looking at record homelessness and a vast amount of Apple tax money: you know what we need? field artillery and surface-to-air missiles.

2025 is what happens when we push the belief that completing MBAs and Eng/Comp Science degrees make you smarter than other people

Leo Varadkar Leo Varadkaring. Interesting how he’s seemingly already desperate for that weapons manufacturer money.
