The triple lock is now gone. Martin will now sign his executive orders (handed to him by Lockheed Von Der Layan and Don J Netanyahu) Some of us remember when soldiers pointed guns at our heads daily as we went about life. These politicians never had that luxury…. #speirgorm

Just so as there’s no misunderstanding, this is contrary to Article 29 (on at least 3 paragraphs) of the constitution which can only be enacted with a referendum. I might sound histrionic on this but this is the truth. #speirgorm

As you sit there At the bar On your phone Drunk scrolling You say to yourself Do you know what? I think I’ll buy a ticket To this gig And then a little voice says Don’t be daft How could they be worth seeing If they haven’t appeared at the picnic ……

…… Or indeed paid hot press 750€ for an A.I. authored article Or paid 500€ under the counter For an RTÉ Alan Corr puff piece No, you convince yourself That you’re discerning with music And don’t let others decide What you choose to explore

I know the 80 year old guy who I work with on behalf of Alone would be staring at a silent wall for all his waking hours if saorview was switched off. I’m also aware of vulnerable people on disability incomes who depend on saorview and wouldn’t know where to start with the digital world.

Saorview, used by 13pc of homes, could be switched off as TV transmission review gets underway. --> Review on best use of the wireless spectrum (mobile usage may be better, regulator report says). Plus so many moving to broadband TV, with 100pc coverage by 2028 www.independent.ie/business/sao...

This poster was due to go up in Dublin - but it was refused by some advertisers as it’s too “politically sensitive”. We may have been censored. We won’t be silenced. Repost this, send it around & spread the word. Go to aodhan.ie/act to sign our petition to SCRAP the EU-Israel trade agreement.

If unionism wants to cite the rule of law, it needs to take a long hard look at the anti immigration race riots they conducted in June.

Just seen a factoid that Christy Moore has recorded 188 songs. He will need to record a few more to catch up with myself.. Riode an!

The barbarity of giving lethal injections, failing to kill, then prescribing a full recovery before administering more lethal injections.

The fact that massive festivals sell out in minutes with no line up announcements just goes to show that the industry now more than ever dictates what people like.

So the RTE short story competition has come around again and this time I didn’t even get the “We’re sorry you didn’t make it” email. It’s the little things…

There’s a lot of American people on here saying petrol prices are a red line issue in their upcoming elections. Do you not realise you are now buying Venezuelan oil at elevated prices now that Hormuz is off the table. And who owns the control of Venezuelan oil? Democracy didn’t stop Hitler.

Just heard a trailer for a movie about the weather forecasting for D day. Lots of male English voices in the clip but I thought it was an Irish woman who got it right?

I’m sure Tim Berners Lee didn’t think when he was writing his white paper on the invention of the internet, that it would ever become a universal vassal for fascism and hatred…

I’m just wondering - just on the off chance - in case we’re not sure - in the unlikely event - you know with social media and all that - just so I can be sure - in case anyone asks - and people might have been unsure - and they needed to know themselves Has anyone read any good news stories today?

He must have been off sick from school the day they did the proclamation
