Shooting the breeze on Irish, EU and world affairs, history, language(s). #speirgorm A bit of a pedant, advocate of colonic irrigation of sentences. Location: 🇺🇸 shitshow to the left of us< 🇮🇪 > 🇬🇧 shitshow to the right
holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
“There are villages that I visited in years past that are now just gone.” Journalist infinite_jaz says Israel’s pogroms in the occupied West Bank are strategic and organized, not random acts of violence as they are often portrayed in the press.
Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage
www.instagram.com/reel/DboVmZm... This lad is well worth a follow if you're interested in languages (not just Irish) and useless information. It's particularly refreshing to hear Irish discussed in the context of other languages rather than stuck in its own little green tabernacle. #speirgorm

Anglosphere talking to Anglosphere and agreeing with the Anglosphere (except for the Irish because reasons) is not the kind of analysis that will improve UK relations with the EU
9 days until Claxton by election, and local residents gather to search woodland for Farage whose only been seen a few times, since he triggered a by election by resigning “We never saw him when he was our MP, but with by election looming we thought he’d at least campaign. So we’re gonna find him…
My memory is not very reliable, but I seem to recall it was Politico that launched what has become a meme, referring to the EU as "the bloc". For anyone who grew up during the Cold War, this pretty much puts the EU on a par with the "Soviet bloc". Editorial policy rather than elegant variation?

I'm not going to see the Odyssey. It's quite a long film and I'm worried about my wife having to fight off suitors while I'm away.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Hey, #speirgorm… why is it I can walk into any restaurant in Spain and get this, while back home - on an island in the middle of the ocean - the best we get is fish fingers or fish and chips??

Norman@noaasm.bsky.social · 3d agoWow, I am positively surprised - Irish government has kicked a Microsoft procurement potentially worth €1 billion into touch amid a political debate about the nation's overreliance on US tech providers and a move to free and open source software www.theregister.com/public-secto...
This makes me two think two things; as a single policy party, what happens when they "fix" immigration, and secondly; someone who is literally a child of immigrants, wanting to forcefully deny immigration to anyone reeks of high hypocrisy.
Patrick - Here for the craic❗️🤷🏼♂️😉@paddyopatrick.bsky.social · 2d agoUnelected nobody Zia (Muhammad Ziauddin) Yusuf of Reform says Britain is being invaded by foreigners and wants to use huge Navy Warships to round up teeny weeny inflatable boats which is like using a tank to catch a rabbit 🙄 Fun fact - Yusuf’s parents migrated to the UK from Sri Lank in 1980’s..
"Is it about the £5m bung in the lower field, Sir?"
Trump: "I know Europe better than anybody. Better than the people that run it."
Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

The political echo chamber is a very serious problem. I can't make a joke about Galway people juggling and riding unicycles without heilmusk1488 slithering into my replies saying "every boy born in Galway is called Muhammed now" You'd really miss that kind of constructive engagement.
Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨@ciaraioch.bsky.social · 2d ago"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.
