Imagine leaving a political party cos you think they're too tolerant? Like just too many marginalised communities getting rights or having their rights upheld. Too much joy. Too much empathy for the poor and the sick and the needy. Not on my watch, bucko! I'm scarlet for him.

The so-called tolerant Left called me a Gaeler on a bike. And that’s why I’m voting for Heather Humphreys | latest by me in today’s Irish Times

I love the environment! Down with climate change! I'm not voting for that woman she's too opinionated and won't be able to do her job[even though Miggeldy is of the same persuasion and has managed it]I'm voting for that bastion of environmentalism, Fine Gael - Failed Politician Shouts at Clouds

Yes, have boycotted for years, even before the last two years. I still think Israel should be expelled though.

It's cheeseburger night! This is the child's, we adults had chips too, he doesn't like potatoes of any kind, I fear he is the fairy folk. They may revoke his passport, the spud hater.

No no. No, we won't be doing that. We won't be brushing the last two years under the carpet just because there is a current ceasefire. This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.

Have had two really bad nights of sleep in a row barely getting a couple of hours and now I'm at the stage where the floor feels like marshmallow and I'm vaguely nauseated. Thankfully, my insomnia is sporadic and temporary so I'll deffo sleep tonight. You poor bastards who have it every night!

Jennifer, the way my blood pressure rose reading that! I am too nosy for my own good but Jaysis if you're going to DM people the gossip, at least share with the class! I do be DYING to know what's going on.

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?!

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 6d

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 · 7d

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 · 7d

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.

Karen Mulreid @beatingblog.bsky.social · 8d

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 · 8d

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
