Dubliner, Irish, European.🇮🇪🇪🇺 She/her. Books, medicine, law, lego, excellent telly and a general sigh at the state of the world. We can do better!
I don’t even know where to start with House of Guinness. Everything about it is a nightmarish mishmash of Oirish tropes from 19th Century Punch magazine. Frankly, I think it’s racist. That whole mess with “Cloonboo” and the effects of the famine made me feel ill at how they cheapened a genocide.

Get ready for his next move. Addressing the plebs from *the roof*, while standing in front of a huge American flag draped over the side.

He’ll have the military and ICE personnel parading in front of him, all stepping nice and high. With a special salute, just for him.
I'm working my ass off to finish what is fast becoming a 500-page Trump-Epstein book and I get interrupted in my work with news that the President of the United States has randomly appeared on the *roof* of the White House???

What drunk cockwomble is writing this season of America?

Fuckface von Fraudstick lectures the EU about “windmills” and wrings his tiny hands about the poor birdies. Meanwhile, his staffers own stock in Big Oil.

Wow! I didn’t see this one coming. This diatribe means Trump must’ve paid Epstein to endorse him to all his billionaire friends. The dirt on Trump in those files must be substantial! Release the files, you dickhead rapist.

What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law
Professor Elizabeth Joh teaches Intro to Constitutional Law and most of the time this is a pretty straight forward job. But when Trump came into office, everything changed. During the four years of th...

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

An excellent article from Fintan O’Toole in today’s @irishtimes.com . Columbia University has turned its back on everything a university is supposed to be. It has appeased authoritarianism. Shameful and pathetic to see it. Enjoy burning your books. 😡

Fintan O'Toole: If you want to see how democracies cede to autocracies, watch as US universities bend to Trump
If a rich and famous institution such as Columbia doesn’t stand up for itself, what chance have millions of ordinary people?

The actress who plays Dedra (Denise Gough) on Andor is freaking incredible.

Honestly, if Andor were the only sci-fi show on air these days, I'd be happy.

It's all I care about on TV these days, and it's worth it. #Andor is some of the best drama I've ever watched. I LOVE it. Everything folds into the story eventually, everything has a purpose, even senseless deaths. And they made me cry at the end of ep 9. Diego Luna & Adria Arjona are incredible.

Mild Spoiler: it's a testament to the quality of writing in Andor that one of the best and easily the most relatable scene in all of Star Wars is a fascist collapsing onto his bed in a panic attack because his mom won't stop being mean to him

I’ve just finished the latest #Andor episode batch.

All I can say is HOLY SHIT!!!

Is it possible to be in love with a TV series? Because I am. It’s *heartbreaking* and brilliant and so real. From intergalactic numbers stations to a rebel without a cause, I can’t get enough.

Also, GILOU! (IFKYK)

Watching Season 2 of Andor (no spoilers) one of whose central messages seems to be “do whatever you can to resist fascism, despite being absolutely terrified of the consequences”, and for that reason alone I love it.

I feel like I’m mainlining Star Wars right now. How am I supposed to sleep?? I’m equally elated and devastated.

It. Is. Brilliant.

Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

This dumb fuck is the biggest, dumbest fuck who ever had the misfortune to exist. Look at the utter state of him, bumbling around with his Big Board of Inaccurate Fuckology.

Incredible that someone so galactically stupid could be anywhere near the levers of power. What a thundering dunce. #moron

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

In summary, this letter says, “Nice university you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it…”
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

Trump is an ignorant, selfish, spineless little scut of a man. A thug. A bully. An unmitigated, ocean-going cunt. Fuck him and that prick he has as a vice-president.

A shameful disgrace for a president. He can’t hold a candle to Zelenskyy and wishes he was like him. He never will be. Not ever.
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.
