A headline suitably magnifico for the wild game that was in it 👏👏 #mufc

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Round of applause for this social media person

Lovely piece on Rollercoaster Rory by the superb @malachyclerkin.bsky.social Rory McIlroy’s Masters win isn’t about golf, really at all. It is about life www.irishtimes.com/sport/golf/2...

Can’t remember the last time that the 7am bulletin on @news.rte.ie kicked off with a good news item #RoryMcIlroy ⛳️

I do love a strong beer glass game (brewery founded by Robert Plant’s son Logan) Raaaaagin’ that I only have a tiny useless handbag with me 👜

NEW 🧵 The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border. Story: www.ft.com/content/6dc1...

Sure lookit

Nuts, but totally inevitable. 30-ft gold statue surely incoming, to replace Abe on the Mall

Kurt Vonnegut man

Whether or not you’re a #Springsteen fan, this @irishtimes.com piece by Dave Hannigan is a thing of real beauty ⚾️ 🎸 🤌

The chilling assessment today in the Financial Times, a conservative British broadsheet that is not known for hyperbole. www.ft.com/content/d96d...

Sick of this. The Irish passport shouldn’t be a cheap-as-chips bargain for Brexit-dodgers news.sky.com/story/britis...

Everyone expected that AI would bring about the end of the world. No one expected that all it would take was ChatGPT spitting out this formula.

Many old Irish sayings contain wisdom that’s applicable today. But my favourite is a proverb warning against launching into something that’s impractical, poorly planned, or just plain unhinged. It goes ná bolt do dhoras riamh le cairéad bruite and it means “never bolt your door with a boiled carrot”

My hometown paper ☕️💅🏽

🚨 Incoming…. #TrumpTariffs

Superb 👌

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

It’s giving big Drummer energy Entirely possible Trump picked the numbers out of his arse #TrumpTariffs #Anglo

Could all non-MAGA media, politicians, pundits inside and outside the US stop fucking calling it ‘Liberation Day’ (apart from once for context, eg. “so named by Trump”). Stop enabling the tyrant and minimising the potential consequences. This isn’t “freedom fries” bullshit ffs #DonDepression

BREAKING: More journalists have died in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023 than in both World Wars and other major wars, combined. Our new report outlines the costs of war to journalists – and the journalism we all rely on. [THREAD, 1/8] watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/p...

Oh Dublin can be heaven with coffee at 11 (03)🩵

There remains a significant gender pay gap in Ireland and Jen Keane has built a portal based on available reporting & data where you can check your employer www.paygap.ie #speirgorm #genderpaygap #inequalitypersists #closethegenderpaygap

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

He was only ever cosplaying Defence Secretary anyway

The words are fascist authoritarian police state

If the Obama White House did Signal group chats... OB: We got him 🎤 JB: 🍦 HRC: 🍆

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.
