Well I have a seat at least.

Nobody mentioned restricted view when I bought the tickets @dublintheatrefest.bsky.social #ThreeSisters

Heather Humphreys is spreading misinformation that Oireachtas political staff need so-called garda clearance – they don’t, according to documents obtained by The Ditch

Alan Shatter joined in – posting a fake document on X purporting to be official policy

I was passing there recently and thought what a pity it was that the hotel owned the space under the colonnade.
They don’t!
They're stealing it!

Sorry but even if you're the most unthinking supporter of Israel, surely this strikes you as a bit weird?

People who have previously run the Dublin marathon will not get priority entry to next year’s race, as organisers try to make the event "fairer" to first-timers and women. http://jrnl.ie/6838694

Maria Steen Turning Up At Gates Of The Áras Refusing To Leave Until She's Made President http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2025/10/08/maria-steen-turning-up-at-gates-of-the-aras-refusing-to-leave-until-shes-made-president/

Well. The tenant is yer man off that podcast Crime World w Nicola Tallant. And now he feels bad for poor Jim it seems.

More Irish activists have now been taken by the IDF from international waters including author Naoise Dolan, TD Barry Heneghan and psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane.

They are part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

What I can't believe is there is no journalist or publication in this country that hasn't mounted a serious investigation into where Steen, the Life institute, the Iona Institute get their funding from and their links with Opus Dei. Surely that is one meaty story for a professional journalist?

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.

The English Department at the University of Limerick, Ireland has moved to Bluesky (677 followers on X)

There's a lot of people who used to throw jibes at Greta who have gone very quiet. She's a million times braver than any WhatsApp group chat banter legend.

Tomorrow is deadline day.

And just as the third place presidential candidate destroyed his own campaign over the weekend, the right wing Fine Gael Humphreys has damaged hers, by being anti-LGBTQ. Here she is sharing far right pseudoscience talking points. FG were historically a fascist party:

Fine Gael presidential candidate, Heather Humphreys, comes out with transphobic talking points.

First she attacks people with disabilities & now she is attacking the LGBTQ community.

She’s really not bringing the nation together - just appealing to her Thatcherite base.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the earth...

Israel has freed Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and is expelling her from the country. She was among hundreds of activists detained by Israeli forces at sea while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza.

Freed activists have alleged abuse while in detention, with Thunberg singled out for humiliation.

Worth noting that

1) Books Upstairs is an amazing bookstore, a real gem of Dublin

2) They do have an online store you can order from to help them out.

3) They do deliver internationally
