Dem leadership for generations: no you fool, you infant. It is a process. It takes time and political capital and expertise, it's-
Mamdani, dusting off his hands: fixed it
Dem leadership: what do you mean you fixed it
Mamdani: Just had to unplug it.

Anytime the news is terrible and I start to feel like I’m living in end of times, I remind myself of the medieval people who also thought this.
But I can definitely relate to them.
Maybe the existential dread at the ways of the world wasn’t so existential after all.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.
Finally someone is speaking truth about alcohol flavoured desserts and drinks!
Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?
You might have been one of many Johns in her life!
I have spent fifty years rolling my eyes at conspiracy theories where all the elite rich people are in a secret evil gang, and thrillers where everyone remotely important has the same Dark Secret, and now sodding look.
Did they even read the book(s)?!
Seeing as a number of athletes have come out to talk about their experiences being queer in sport, I’d say she’s hit the mark
Suspiciously plastic looking cheese board? UHT milk? Sliced ham I’d never otherwise touch? Sign me up!
Gotta say, the New York Times narrative on Ukraine consistently takes a negative approach to the country - they seem to be always reporting on imminent collapse. It’s 2026 & an impoverished country of ~38m has held back a Superpower for 4 years.
That’s not imminent collapse, that’s backbone*
every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
A card. The front reads "YOUR LIFE IS A BLOODY HOT MESS RIGHT NOW BUT ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT YOU'RE INDESTRUCTIBLE & IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER".
I'm not sure what occasion you'd buy this card for and how it would help but I think my Mother created it.
We need to get real. Met Éireann is not to blame for flooding damage - poor planning, building on flood plains, not implementing over 20 years of remedial action are. We were warned decades ago winter rain would increase, but continued doing nothing and built on space needed for water #spéirghorm

On Grafton Street, for today only, lies what looks on the outside to be an ordinary flower shop.
Men and women stoppedat the storefront looking to buy a dozen roses for their Valentine.
But on the inside, it isn’t a florist’s at all jrnl.ie/6622859
I have signed this #EU initiative to propose a ban on #LGBTQ+ conversion "therapy" which every EU citizen above the age of 16 should be able to sign.
#Ireland needs maybe 5,000 more signatures to reach the threshold #Spéirghorm #Spéirgorm

Again, hate to bring the real world into this, but...
Watch American companies that *aren't* abandoning their inclusion policies in what must be the face of enormous pressure.
They're worth noting.
I, personally, am shocked.
Oh wait
The amount of people who describe themselves as politically progressive in Ireland still posting on X is both amazing and depressing. You can google their usernames and see them. Why are they still on a fascist owned site? Especially those in Labour, SocDems and PBP? #IrishPolitics #SpeirGorm
We are so lucky to have the deer in Phoenix Park (one of the largest enclosed city parks in Europe!). Love this 👇 ♥️😂👌👏 #Deer #Dublin #Speirgorm #Bluesky
yep
