Have been awol as have been far too distracted by new addition. The shelter were calling him trout, which is shit so have to come up with one, thinking something Irish but sussing his personality out bit more first. He's 4 months, bit of JRT, Irish Terrier and Patterdale. Delighted. #SpeirGorm

Michael D Higgins, with his wife Sabina, has left Áras an Úachtaráin for the final time as president.
He was given a guard of honour by members of the Sanctuary Runners, a charity of which he is patron.
The President’s term of office ends at midnight.

Disgusting assault on a brown skinned child by scumbag youths in Tuam, Co Galway. But unsurprising, sadly. It's the TikTok/Snapchat culture for clicks and likes these days. Social media needs to be held far more accountable for allowing this horrific content on their apps.

This New Yorker documentary about the 1988 UK government ban on broadcasting the voices of Sinn Féin and I.R.A. leaders is pretty good but they show *that clip from The Day Today with no explanation and no indicator that it is satire.

They came back and didn't even wait long enough for me to answer the door to shout at them, then saw me coming home, came back and banged on the letterbox again and I just shouted "FUCK OFF" from the couch. May start on my sign. #SpeirGorm
Nobody warns you about the amount of shite you get in the door in an estate. Have big red "No junk mail" sign on letterbox. Apparently religious "literature", "charity" clothes collections, sales people, takeaway leaflets are all exempt. Gonna make a sign now and bust out my lidl dremel engraver.

So sorry, since the governments shambolic and extortionate increase in vape liquids to €10 a bottle, why are the disposable ones €9.50? I've just run to the newsagent to get one as my order from the north is arriving tomorrow (Works out about €14/week) it's now got a rechargeable thingy #SpeirGorm

Still fuming at half the tally people abandoning the tally mid tally in Kilkenny earlier. Some gone to dub to be seen on tv for the result, some just headed off when apparent HH didn't have a hope. You're either tallying or you're not. Myself and another disabled person left scrambling. #Aras25
