Irish leftie living in France.

If you use Karen in the pejorative you are no better than the people you are trying to insult. A person's name or ethnicity is not an insult and using it as such just shows the world how verbally limited you are.

Why on earth is the name of a South East Asian ethnic minority used to describe what is effectively stereotypical entitled white American behaviour? #Burma #Myanmar
2026 can only be an improvement on 2025, can’t it? Anyhow Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh! #spéirghorm

Sorry but we literally debunked this like last month when he did this dog whistle. Fintan O'Toole literally did the maths, in the Times no less, that showed that this isn't true.

Why are we bothering to publish such an obvious lie when we know it's a lie?

I hate the saying "Don't speak ill of the dead". The gushing in the media over far right racist tnuc that was Brigitte Bardot because she was once outwardly beautiful is frankly disgusting.

Watching a show in which Maya Rudolf plays a feckless billionaire and I was amused to see her handbag, which #SpeirGorm will recognise as the bag that helped sink a feckless presidential campaign

The core of a substantial iceberg of foreign interference - from (alleged!) Russian assets in the Seanad, to the dark money funding the far-right, to that army of bots in every YouTube comments section even marginally related to the Burkes.

CitizenGo’s attempted intervention in the presidential election was clumsy but remarkable: a foreign political organisation whose board includes a corrupt ex-politician linked to an international money laundering scheme tried to influence an Irish election

Cloudy ot not, using modern technology to allow us to continue to witness something the people who lived on our island built in connection with the seasons and the universe thousands of years ago is pretty cool, actually

According to RSF, around 220 journalists were killed by the IDF in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and September 2025. Yet the EBU (headed by a former journalist) and the executives of most of its member broadcasters has no problem with Israel taking part in the Eurovision. BTW well done RTÉ #spéirghorm

Every day, 137 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members internationally - one death every 10 minutes, according to the UN, who released their annual femicide report today.
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women #speirgorm jrnl.ie/6884469

Is there a gender breakdown for that poll in Spain regarding support for Franco mentioned on @france24? I would be very worried if a high proportion of women believed Franco's regime was overall good.

"Ireland's weather service said its scientists briefed the country’s prime minister last year and a parliamentary committee last month."

Last year, but not a peep out of Leo or Simon (pre & post Apr 2024 Taoisigh) about the #climate risks of early AMOC collapse.

Been thinking about this, and if you don't want to learn, or re-learn Irish, just ... don't?
When President Connolly speaks in Irish, she is addressing those who understand, not chiding those who don't, and what difference does it make to you what language people speak to each other?

The fact Simon Harris, Micheál Martin and the rest of them are obsessed with pandering to the bigots who spoilt their ballots rather than the much larger number who voted for Connolly tells you everything you need to know about them as politicians and as people.
