Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

I just sent my monthly tweet. I'll check back in a few hours to see how it's getting on.

So, each federal employee of the USA has to send a weekly email to POTUS. There are just over 3 million federal employees, apparently (usafacts.org/articles/how...) That's >3 million emails to one inbox. It's going to be fun allowing this one inbox accepting all those emails. 🤔 🤭 #SPAM #FILTERS

The Burren today was magnificent #TheBurren #Clare 🌱👌

Delighted for Dan Sheehan today. Captain debut and lifts the Triple Crown. 👑👑👑 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 #WALvIRE

Fair play Wales. Those who said rugby in Wales is on its deathbed should have a real good think-again for themselves. #WALvIRE

Disappointed not to see this gem on the #BBC4 Irish Trad show this Friday night. 🤭 m.youtube.com/watch?v=lEjE...

Tell this guy 10 years ago that he’s gonna be in a standoff against 2 psychopaths with nukes

Expect to see more of this as Russia becomes more desperate. It's going to get worse before it hopefully gets better.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Jesus christ, was I giving him ideas?

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania. 1/23

A solid piece of analysis here from @anderspucknielsen.dk on the US pronouncements last week on Ukraine. It's more worth giving him a follow also. You won't regret it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=TWLq...

Me in 1999: “That South Park movie was wacky, imagining an American imperialism so deranged that they decide to invade Canada in a crusade of censorship. 😂” Me in 2025: 😐

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Wishing everyone a pleasant Sex Halloween.

Another nice analysis piece from @nathanrjohns.bsky.social looking at the tweaks in Ireland's attack since the autumn.

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional. Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees. In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role. Our Weimar+ statement ↓

This has got to be the the hardest Where's Wally EVER! 😤😤😤 🤭

The ball held-up over the line, resulting in a goal line drop out law is a s#ite law. #ScovIre

That was a classic don't-give-a-sucker-a-chance match. #ENGvFRA

They got what they deserved. Midway through the second half, France looked bored, like they didn't want to be there. They should have upped the energy and put this to bed, but they weren't bothered. Well done, England. Took your chances well, and, importantly, won. 👏👏👏 #ENGvFRA

🤣

The desperation is so palpable it hurts.

Here's an overhead angle of Dan Sheehan's try to reveal just how much work he had to do in the build-up. #RugbyAnalysis #IrishRugby

EVERYONE, ACTON STATIONS!

From my old negatives… a one-to-one shoot with Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats in 1980, at his hotel room in Dublin. Doesn’t seem like 45 years ago… #35mmfilm #kodak #photography #documentary #Ireland

🤣

Selective outrage of the right.

OTD In 2022 your Prez predicted the exact invasion date. Your Prez is owed many, many apologies

🤣

Starting with a bonus point win Remembering it was “only” Italy And how we let that lead slip And how it’s Ireland next

The EU around the world must be the EU we want to see in the world: The antithesis to the autocratic axis forming today. Extract from my speech at the Conference of EU Ambassadors ↓

Always love an opportunity to wax lyrical about Ireland beating England. Thank you to @harpinonrugby.bsky.social for having me on to chat.
