I'm going to share a story that brought me great joy and if you haven't heard it it might bring you some mirth this cold evening. It's about the patron saint of atheists.

An image that should haunt and shame us all. A Palestinian mother trying, against all odds, to protect her children as hell rains down on them from Western-backed Israeli terrorism.

"An Garda Siochana and CSO figures show that no causal link between immigration and any form of crime or delinquency has ever been recorded in Ireland. What they do show is a 12% uptick in hate crimes between 2022 and 2023, and a massive surge in misinformation surrounding migrants and criminality."
This week I wrote about vigilance, and how I'm less interested in litigating whether Garron Noone is a racist, than in whether what he said was true or not. It wasn't. And people are right to be alarmed that he said it, and to wonder why he did.

I find this very moving: a 10-year-old Ukrainian boy who moved to the West of Ireland 2 years ago as a refugee, speaking in Irish of his love of playing Irish music

Oh RTE I will never pay a license for this kind of shite. We're long past McQuaids Ireland now. Go peddle this nonsense elsewhere.

The Irish festival of Imbolc, celebrated on Saturday, February 1st, is a time to welcome the first stirrings of spring and honour the goddess Brigid. It's a festival of renewal, fire, and fertility, marking the midpoint between the dark of winter and the light of spring.

The lights came back on today after nearly a week of no power. The water came back about seven hours later. We are better off than most, we had camping stoves, gas and many torches but nothing that would last beyond a couple of days. #StormEowyn #WildWest

Hundreds of thousands of homes without power, water, phone coverage; trees down all over the country causing road blockages, a young man lost his life in Donegal when a tree fell on his work van... and this cunt thinks it's a joke. Made a fortune from RTE too, if I remember correctly.

All joking aside, I am really proud of Ireland today.
Today the Irish government tried to overturn democratic norms and our opposition parties put aside their differences, presented a united front, and refused to be steamrolled.

This will always be my favourite story about ketamine and presidents
For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....
This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.
