I’ve been contacted by someone saying this👇🏻is the bigger discussion point. And that “This is the second poll I've seen where this little nugget has been buried under the headline of how people would vote if it was today.” First screenshot from today. Second one from last year.

Ireland has 160,000 vacant homes, explanations about homes being in probate or prohibitively expensive to renovate are unacceptable excuses. Well done to those involved in the "buy me a home" show on Virgin media for highlighting the issue @frankoconnor.bsky.social @judesherry.bsky.social

"...Arts Minister Patrick O’Donovan wants to make sure that all projects funded by his department...represent value for money." How are they measuring value? Because they did this for Science Gallery, as though the arts were a business that should be cost-neutral, and it closed.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

The housing problem is not hard to conceive a solution to. But it is intractable if you attempt to invent a way to solve it without changing anything.

"Already reported for rape at least once to Hinge [...] Not only did the apps allow him back on, they featured his profile." Wish we'd move away from dating apps, culturally. Profit-driven, little interest in getting people off them, and zero regard for safety. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

I have been thinking about a proper name for the characteristics of Trump's speech for a while. I think a "human ChatGPT" describes it perfectly.

Spoke with a retired diplomat, turned military industrial complex lobbyist, who told me that he gets embarrassed at dinner parties at the thought that someone might mention Ireland’s embarrassing neutrality. So embarrassing. (This is my pitch to get on RTE Radio this weekend)

Trump & his populist fiction on "ending the war in Ukraine": ➡️ Mar 2023: "I'll fix it in 24 hours." ➡️ Sep 2024: "I'll end it before inauguration." ➡️ Jan 7, 2025: "Hopefully in six months." ➡️ Feb 20, 2025: "Maybe in a year."

It’s ironic how Ukrainians can passionately throw mud at each other only to unite in an instant when faced with a grave threat to their dignity, independence, and sovereignty. And the greater the danger, the fiercer is their response.

Vance calls Zelenskyy "disgraceful" for pushing back on Trump's claim that Ukraine started the war. If Trump tells you that night is day, you'd better echo him or you will pay. America is now a predator nation. thenationalpulse.com/2025/02/19/e...

Companies will be like, "How about spending an hour crammed in public transport, getting shoved by sweaty strangers, just to sit in an office where the noise and lighting slowly push you into a panic attack, while your coworkers judge you on how well you fake interest in their interpersonal drama?"🧵

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

Ireland's energy regulator today published a long-awaited policy governing the connection of new data centres. Astonishingly, the policy makes NO provision for regulating the GHG emissions arising from data centres - which all evidence points to is very substantial - and actually..

Met Éireann data shows 0.0 hours of sunshine at Dublin Airport yesterday, 11th day in a row. Research by @sryanbruen.bsky.social shows this equals the longest running sunless streak since records began in 1942. Last time it happened was March 1969. Some sun today before heavy rain returns.
