I like when my cat gets cranky with me. Keeps me on my toes.

My favourite lyric ever.

It's a sign of the times that callousness is now dressed up as intellectualism. That empathy is framed as being as morally problematic as prejudice. That bigotry and hatred is just honesty. That solidarity is treason.

We’ve had a very lucky streak with our presidents the last 35 years: the two Mary’s, MDH, and now CC. Absolutely top notch.

Let’s be honest with ourselves: we’re in the run-up to Christmas.

She was a pop artist. She sold into a pop market. Populated by queers and gays and trans. Her art was cherished by those communities and she flourished. And then she thought she could turn on them and denounce them and slander them.

Donna Summer. Or Roisin Murphy.

Now that the left has had a huge victory in Ireland I guess the centrist parties must promise to listen to the electorate and move to the left. I mean they feel compelled to ape the right whenever those headbangers win a few council seats.

You don’t have to be a graduate to vote for President.

The last two presidential elections were wild rides.

I am delighted with the result.

And thank fuck we don’t have to do that for another seven years.

The last presidential election the press lost their minds over Peter Casey’s vote and tried to ignore the size of MDH’s victory. The same will happen today. But the truth is - CC’s victory is even larger than MDH’s.

Her story about Boy George. ‘You’re not as pretty as your pictures”.

She’s obviously never used Grindr.

She really didn’t know her audience.

Mark O’Halloran @markohalloran.bsky.social · 7d

With great enthusiasm I voted.

I should really go out and vote now. But I might hold off for another hour. This is a type of civic edging and I’m enjoying it. #aras25

Why a successful artist chooses to turn on her own fan base is utterly baffling. The strange race from party Queen to Holy Martyr.

Social Media has rotted the minds of so many.

I’ve a few Roisin Murphy records to get rid of if anyone is interested.
