Tried to talk immigration, Trump, Ukraine, ShedSits and other topics with @shamimmalekmian.bsky.social and @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social on the latest #EchoChamberPod. But it was like trying to get blood out of a stone. Listen: www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

I’m taking this to mean that it is safer to hug a shark than it is to take a selfie. And I won’t hear any more about it.

Did an #EchoChamberPod earlier with @shamimmalekmian.bsky.social and @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social and I have to say that it was hard work. These kids just don’t have anything interesting to say. Thank god I’m a consummate professional. Out tomorrow morning at 6am xx

There’s people on here who purport to be in favour of tackling the social issues facing the country while posting about rugby. As James Connolly said, “it starts with rugby. But it ends in Fianna Gaelism.”

Just applied for and got a large amount of Sunburn. The entire process took less than 10 minutes and the delivery was amazingly quick. 10/10 would recommend.

We need to stop calling them ‘developers.’ They are not developers. They are subsidy farmers.

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)

Is the SINDO ready for its first ever left wing editor? No. But should I apply just to highlight the uncomfortably insider nature of the newspaper self-selecting process? Also no. www.careers.mediahuis.ie/job/editor-s...

Lads, settle a bet for me. Who was the leader of Fine Gael before Jennifer Carroll MacNeill? I’m sure it was Leo Varadkar, but Martin is saying that it was Simon Harris.

Partitionists like Collins would do well to remember that the 26 county version of Ireland which they don't want to change, that took shape on foot of an anti-conscription campaign. And that soft power they love to talk about? Neutrality is a big part of that.

C’mere to me. Did you hear that Mary Lou won’t go bend the knee to Trump? Like, I’m also deeply concerned about the treatment of the Palestinian people and the statements made by the President, but not going puts our prosperity at risk. And we don’t want that, do we?

Ooohhh. File this under Things I Did Not Expect To See. While we await to see the details, you’d be mad not to recognise this as the Opposition putting more pressure on the Government, who have had a very shaky start.

What are sinkholes, how are they formed, why did one appear in a Surrey street and most importantly, from an Irish Government perspective, would you live in one if the rent was 20% below the market rates?

That no newspaper ran a “Government’s Shedsit plans go down like a shed balloon” headline is further proof that the mainstream media can no longer be trusted by the public. Thank you for coming to my shed talk.

I found these all too still & lifeless flags standing before the UN in Geneva today sadly symbollic of the state of affairs in so many UN nations given lack of support in for what it stands for & why it was created, & how it's being emasculated by lack of financial support by the nations of the UN
