This didn't happen in Ronan Collins' day.

Blueshirts, you say?

"Part of a larger problem of extremism on the platform, the Blueshirts are one example of how the far right leverages popular video game platforms to spread their message and target young people."

It feels like this alarming detail is breezed past rather rapidly in order to get back to cheerleading about the amount of STEM graduates the education system is producing.

Sounds like a job for the We All Partied Brians.

Free character name if anyone needs one, courtesy of the Tesco website. Might work well if your setting is surreal pastoral.

'No, no, you don't understand. It didn't backfire, it simply caused fewer people to vote for our candidate and more to vote for her opponent. Which is totally different.'

I see his fans are calling him Declan Gandhi now.

Still, as the old saying goes, 'One man's dodgy businessman with his own private church is another man's freedom fighter.'

Jim sensing that Fine Gael have become so fixated on going back and touching the hot stove again and again there's still a chance Fianna Fáil's presidential campaign could be remembered as only the second worst one of 2025.

Being a voracious reader of Tolkien between the ages of 11 and 14 has granted me the ability to spot enterprises involving sweaty antichrist expert Peter Thiel from quite a distance.

Saves a bit of time when scanning the headlines and deciding whether to read any further.

It must take an extraordinarily high level of self-absorption to willingly offer oneself up as the bottom of the barrel currently being scraped.

People are always saying that the only thing of equivalent geopolitical and historical importance to a Fianna Fáil leadership heave is the century-long struggle between the Russian and British empires for power and influence in central Asia.

Remarkably juvenile 'Red scare' stuff from a paper whose politics desk has spent the last month lavishing unearned and unwarranted coverage on a failed prospective candidate whose ideology is very closely aligned with that of the Kremlin.

Have you considered joining Fianna Fáil? I hear it makes all paperwork in relation to anything far less onerous, possibly even unnecessary.

Oh, I see. I wonder are 'value for money' Jim and his officials aware.

The IT's politics section seems quite sad after yesterday's events. Perhaps they could cheer themselves up by introducing a Maria Steen Campaign Memorial section, or a special pullout with the weekend edition or something like that.

Since the political tendency Steen and Tóibín represent has always had its most potent expression through referendums it's not surprising to see them treat the closing hours of this just like the last frantic days of a referendum. Saying the wildest stuff. Thousands, really?

For some reason I'm reminded of the time during the financial crisis when the Irish banks spent a few months moving their remaining pile of money from one to the other in order to pass the feckless regulator's liquidity tests.

A terrifying phrase.

Minister shocked - SHOCKED! - to discover gouging rentier behaviour in carefully constructed and curated rentier economy.

Jim Gavin, a Fianna Fáil man through and through.

I dearly wish I didn't remember this one but sadly it seems to have snagged in my brain.

Our long national wait for a president who will play the flute while wearing a shirt unbuttoned to the waist continues.
