Can't wait to have someone try and justify my crimes via my Pokemon special interest.

I've a friend who shifted Ryan Tubridy in the 90s and I texted her "your boyfriend is on the telly again" everytime I saw the Late Late for years. Years!

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

Lowkey think my granny wrote that, because her biggest take about Jim Gavin was how "having a Dub GAA candidate means the 31 other counties automatically hate him" 😂

Someone needs to be asking FG about their govt and how this is happening with the vulture landlords… sorry investment funds… and how this weeks budget will only mean more of it.

jkr openly condemning palestine so once again if it isnt clear all transmisogynistic politics claiming to "defend real females" is ideologically the same kind of reactionary nationalism, heterosexualism, and turning "weaklings into soldiers" that zionism, hindutva, etc are

Between chronic pain & executive dysfunction I really struggle with going for a walk without a purpose or destination in mind. Pokémon walks have been a game-changer for this, and the community events have been great outdoor socialising opportunities!

Viktor Complex @viktorcomplex.bsky.social · 1d

Re-downloaded Pokémon Go last month to help my recovery from pneumonia by gamifying going for walks.

I'm once again obsessed, and my walking & chest capacity has improved greatly 🎉

I'm shocked Fine Gael picked John Clendennen to go out and defend the VAT cut

he owns a pub and glamping business and was the president of the Vintners' Federation when he was elected. his sister replaced him on board after his term ended

it's a VAT cut for him personally

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

I was one of the leaders of Scrap The Green Paper because I & my friends were suicidal after learning proposals for ~84% of disabled to be pushed into work

I've not recovered from pushing myself to fight it, nor my friends

I'm so broken & Humphreys wants a house in the park on our backs

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:

There is an outstanding issue for Fianna Fáil.

When did Fianna Fáil become aware of the issue?

I have since been told that contact was made with Fianna Fáil early in September...

When #áras25 is over and certain parties are doing postmortems, the fact that Catherine Connolly did so many one-on-one podcast interviews and the other candidates didn't must be part of the conversation.

People don't get to know candidates in debates.
