Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

The irish presidential election is basically now between "dog fighting transphobe" and "woman who destroys children in soccer matches"

I will be voting for Connoly in support of her war on childrens egos.

I'm sorry but you'd swear she was a film star or a pop icon or something and not just some obnoxious middle-class berk who you'd hop in a half-full skip to avoid talking to.

Why are there so many press people there?

She's just some person. Her opinion carries no more weight than that of Bryan McFadden or Crystal Swing or the Lisdoonvarna matchmaker.

They're giving her attention because they think this is a soap opera and they enjoy her character.

Why are certain "journalists" (yes, I'm looking at you, Irish Times) uncritically reporting Maria Steen's repeated assertions that independent candidates have been "blocked" from the presidential ballot.

The current frontrunner is an independent candidate.

Personal security question as sadly running Ugly Mugs means I'm constantly being threatened by violent men. Does anyone know of a good parcel box? I need a way to receive packages too big to fit through a letterbox, without my having to open the door.

Someone at the IT is having a 'mare rushing out the Budget coverage.

This was a sponsored post in my Insta Stories.

The social team needs a break and a hug maybe.

A post from Instagram stories with a swipe up link for the Irish Times. A composite image of Leinster House, Jack Chambers and Paschal Donohoe is titled "Budget 2026: Main Points" but the bullet points that follow comprise non-sensical filler text (Lorem ipsum) and snippets apparently borrowed from a restaurant review (One point reads: "Borgo review: Well-priced and welcoming", the next "everything a good neighborhood", and finally "restaurant needsLorem ipsum dolor sit amet")

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

the official position of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael appears to be that if gardaí want to leak confidential information about private citizens to damage a political candidate, they are not only entitled to do so, but it is righteous

everyone – including Kieran Cuddihy – jumping down Paul Murphy's throat for correctly raising the very serious issue of confidential garda vetting information being leaked to the media

The funniest part of the Jim Gavin scandal is that his excuse is that back in 2009 he was in financial hardship, while running for… Fianna Fáil

The GRA was passed in 2015 with very little fanfare following years of courageous campaigning by trans people. We have yet to see any negative ramifications in society - and we won't.

We simply *cannot* have a President of Ireland who speaks about trans women or their human rights in this way.

i know i'm just repeating what we all already know, but the side-by-side of a football manager candidate forefeiting his campaign while his 68-year-old opponent demonstrates preternatural keepy-uppy skills and wins unanimous praise for it is historically funny
