On a day like today, thank feck Maria Steen never got within an sniff of the Presidency, can you imagine the pathetic servility she would have displayed? #speirgorm

Why would I break bathroom sign rules? I’m not a monster.
The gobshite commentators who thought President Connolly would do something populist & significantly performative, because of their toxic view of “The left” She did exactly what was needed of her. To communicate the views of the Irish people with respect to genocide and colonisation. #speirgorm
Statement from President Connolly: We are in a world facing the existential threat posed by war and climate change, both of which are inextricably interlinked. I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted.
It was nice yesterday to miss out on the annual yank handwringing around their wound. One they think is more important than all the people they have & are still murdering in middle east. Especially their current responsibility for murdering children in concert with the Israeli despot & his gang.
It’s minor, but, radio referenced President Trump meeting Catherine Connolly - I know we don’t like Kings & we like that informality, however with an iconic surname & an earned title, maybe we should refer to her as President Connolly when referencing her alongside other country leaders? #speirgorm
Certainly not activists - wrong word. Terrorists? Absolutely. Farage paramilitary? Well let’s just say evolution & history have a way of showing us the future.

As a car owner, I'm begging decision-makers to tell car owners to feck off more often
Dublin Inquirer@dublininquirer.com · yesterdayThe council's effort to install bike bunkers is facing pushback from car owners. "You've got 20 parking spaces, and we come along and say we're going to take out two of them or something like that to give spaces for people on bikes, it doesn't go down particularly well."
@newschambers.bsky.social @gavreilly.com Yer young lads with young families, so I am sure ye’ll be affected by this soon. Have a look at state secondary schools insisting on a specific laptop from wriggle.ie & how boards of management are enabling this. Happy to give my story on dm. #speirgorm
I don't say this lightly or flippantly: I honestly think this is the most incompetent government we've had in my lifetime and this is a really bad time for it. None of these guys are *anywhere near* qualified for their important ministerial portfolios. An embarrassing shambles of a cabinet
Watching Inception with my daughter & Elliot Page has a lead role. He’s a cracking actor but ignoring his deadname hasn’t been difficult, even though the role is “she”, while acknowledging he prefers “he”. It’s actually not that complicated, of course my daughter finds it even easier to navigate.
We should all take a moment to remember Charlie Kirk, a year after his death, & his contribution to humanity.
Sadly you've got some particularly gullible racists in Ireland who are being targeted by Musk and his money. But most of you are sound, so you should be good as long as people are willing to stand up and shut them down.
Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · last yr.Elon Musk pushing the line that the West will fall because of *checks notes* Polish, British and Ukrainian immigrants to Ireland, who make up the next largest ethnic grouping and are often young and having families. No single non-White Irish ethnic group exceeds 3% of the population.
Seems the Brits are having problems with a lot of angry, unvetted, military aged men with face coverings. We see the same here with our two Nazi parties - Clown Ireland and the Nazi Party. Our lads are yet to really try and cause any trouble other than than cosplay - it’ll come though. #speirgorn
Jane@localnotail.bsky.social · 3d agoDaniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas
In the Padraig Pearse Museum in Rathfarnham (it’s deadly & it’s free) and it occurs to me how deep rooted Irish nationalism is in us & why it scares unionism in it’s intensity.
I find no joy in boxing, but we watched Katie last night, because she it’s the best Irish boxer ever retiring, is a moment. As a first time watcher, Jesus, she is fast. The young girls on radio today being interviewed about their hero, give me the best hope for a sport I hate. #speirgorm
The Arabic for Orangutan is just “human of the forest” (or also “wild human”) which, if I’m not mistaken, is what the term Orangutanmeans in the original Malay

Someone’s Granda most likely. Imagine this being the pic you’re most remembered for?
Reform Party UK Exposed@reformexposed.bsky.social · 7d agoReform UK Conference 2026 This is all it will be remembered for.
We saw this with with Carla Lockhart in Scarva, we see it somewhat with our own facsists under the very small man. Lads with face coverings outside a performance, a motorbike or other context are fascist paramilitaries. #speirgorm
Gerard Cunningham@faduda.eurosky.social · 6d agoRelax everyone, the fascists were just cosplaying as fascists.
Britain’s original plan for New Zealand had the islands split into three provinces, with nonsensical borders typical of any British colonial project. The provinces were named after Irish ones (the guy who came up with them was an Anglo-Irish colonial officer). These didn’t last for long.
Katelyn Burns@katelynburns.com · last wk.Tell me a fun fact.
Both Christian sects rendering a term meaningless. Thousands on this island were murdered, maimed,discriminated against for work & housing, spat on going to school etc. Shame on ye for trivialising victims because ye can’t understand why people don’t like your shitty political positions #speirgorm
In Ireland we give them tax breaks and reduce the cost of their fuel, & call them concerned citizens instead of calling them what they are - racists.
