Here you go MAGA. Voting red supports this.

If the US would like to do a diesel deal with Russia, they should be doing it with Ukraine as they happen to hold all the cards on that one.

Public executions are the plaything of despots and dictatorships,the hallmark of totalitarianism and absolutism. An irreversible miscarriage of justice when the get the wrong person.

Kilronan Castle, Co. Roscommon. Ireland. Shining vibes.

Fuck me #peakyblinders is fucking brilliant. Every episode. Fucking le mot juste.

Zelenskyy might visit Moscow after all. #SlavaUkraini

Keeping a few ex-caged hens means free eggs for years after they were scheduled for execution by the grower. Dont buy caged hen eggs in the shops.

Never thought I would say 'fuck Ed Sheeran' but there you go.

They will all come to see me Near the shade of the apple tree When they lay me beneath The green, green grass of home RIP Socky. The big fella.

Jesus effin christ. Almost fed my family ground up insects. Come on Spain. Fucking red dye in meat!

Chickenshits. Insurance against what excatly?

Trump considering remeasuring 'yard' and renaming it 'Trump' as the previous distance from King Henry the 1st nose and thumb 'was stupid'

Zelensky to Trump. Moscow? No thanks. Brilliant.

Russias frontline soilders are the new "20 minuters"

Right wing scumbags moaning about Pride parades in Dublin and why do we need them. Thats why. Because you are a right wing scumbag.

It's Fathers Day Eve lads. Exploit it wisely.

In my lifetime in Ireland, women could not work in the public service if married, get birth control, get a divorce, have an abortion. Now our paliment is moving to remove the 3 day wait period for abortion. The empowerment of women is a reason why Ireland has one of the highest GDPs in the world.

Some Irish 'boreen's today.

Ukraine is winning.

This was most enjoyable. Missus out. Kids busy. TV to myself @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, Erdogan, Chavez, Maduro, Lukashenko, Orban, Marcos all used a democratic system to get themselves elected-then destroyed that system. First attacking the courts, media, opposition. constitutions, election rules, executitive powers. Sound familiar?

Got this for my nephew. He will be lucky to get it TBH.

Been a while since a cycled down the quays. Still dangerous. On a green light you're expected to dive accross 3 lanes to get to the cycle lane on the opp side. Or wait til all the lovely cars have had their go. @irishcycle.com @righttobikeit.bsky.social

Before passing a bill into law, the Irish president checks that it comports with the constitution.

Without a doubt the greatest cohort of snowflakes is within the transphobic, xenophobic, racist, christian right, fascist, anti science, anti cycling, misogynist, homophobic, nationalist community. Hate filled, insecure cunts.

Not dead. Just doing a slow blink.

Pics of ireland

Project 2025 called for everything that is happening in Iran now. But it's a predicable cluster fuck.

Noticing a lot of 'digital creators' talking photos of petrol pumps and whinging about rising costs. These same creators are inevitable trumpers, haters, racists, etc. They dont seem to get that this is the impact of bombing brown people (which they love) and blowing them up comes at a price.

Getting Ashes today? There is no evidence based reason to believe that you are a filthy human, unworthy or that this life is 'dirty rags' to be discarded. You are probably pretty decent actually and deserve a place in the sun. So buy yourself an ice cream instead.

This is the big fella

"..I feel sorry for racists and for religious fanatics, because they so much miss the point of being human, and deserve a sort of pity. But then...I decide to hate them... because of the misery they inflict and because of the contemptible excuses they advance for doing so." Christopher Hitchens

WFH always a bit better with a few cats around

Share far and wide.

Lots of this last night in northern and southern sky over the midlands Ireland.

Theres somthing Mexican standoffish about this.

Why does the right assume that the left are soft?

Ricky Gervais. Cant get himself cancelled, no matter how much he tries. Its as if ‘cancel culture’ is a myth created by the phobic community to excuse their shitty opinions. He is weak sauce.

Firing the Bren gun in the 90's. Poetry in motion.

#jadotville A reminder for all earthlings to watch The Siege at Jadotville. As an ex-soldier, no other episode in the history of the Irish Army brings me more pride.
