Hoping beyond hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire but the President of a country who funded the bombs which terrorised the people of Palestine for two years (and many more before) should never get within an asses roar of the Nobel Peace Prize. Are we well, collectively?!

I hope/pray this very flawed ‘deal’ from Trump that Hamas & Israel agreed to ends the genocide & famine & leads to a real ceasefire.

But my biggest fear is there is nothing and no one to stop Netanyahu from resuming the genocide once they get all the hostages back and Trump has his Nobel Prize.

Niall Donald talking about how Jim Gavin ripped him off included the truest, most Irish statement I’ve ever heard in my life, like this absolutely would be what your friends would say to you in these circumstances

Ah remember when Jim Gavin pulled out? 'Member? And we all had the craic on here with the memes and hot takes and jokes? Ah it was great wasn't it? What's happening tonight, let's have the craic again. Someone in the government has done something mortifying, surely? Yes?

A nice dollop of cranberry sauce would go lovely with that! It looks fab!

I remember buying them for my Da, John Player Blue. Can't remember the price but they absolutely were not 18.55!

Karen Mulreid @beatingblog.bsky.social · 1d

Isn't it mad?! I never smoked and I don't drink so I don't even know the price of a pint but 18.55 shocked me!

Karen Mulreid @beatingblog.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, we did ours last year I think and our son's took longer as it was his first one but our ones arrived in about a week, not a bother.

Seems so, hey? I'm always in favour of social welfare increases even though they don't affect me, but deffo thought they'd be continuing some cost of living payments too.

Karen Mulreid @beatingblog.bsky.social · 1d

Lads! Smokes are €18.55 now?!!?!? You're kidding me. HOW is anyone still able to afford to smoke? No shade to anyone who smokes and/or is trying to give up, it's an awful addiction and a hard one to break so fair play - but how are you affording it?! You must be broke!

Those 'Here's how the Budget affects you' scenarios they publish in the paper will be interesting tomorrow, hey?

John is married with two kids and owns a McDonald's franchise ...

It's a fairly weak budget, isn't it? Not much for the regular dude or dudette. #Budget26 #spéirgorm

Yeah, that would have been my second choice!

This is causing a lot of confusion so there's a handy mnemonic you can use:

If your Gavin be gruesome, you'll find he's a Newsom.
If your rent he be havin', you've got a Jim Gavin.

Politics has been so depressing and miserable recently.
I really needed a good ol' Fianna Fáil omnishambles to cheer me up. #Aras25.

For the record: it is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the #aras25 ballot paper.

Jim Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.

Do we think it was the Americans confusing him with Gavin Newsom that was the last straw for Jim Gavin #Áras25
