Jim Gavin may have pulled out of the campaign, but he is still a candidate in the presidential election, whether he likes it or not.

Fianna Fáil’s zombie candidate remains in the race, at least on paper.

So what happens if you cast your vote for Gavin?

You know the way we always get prickly when Brits claim an Irish person as one of theirs?
Who amongst the “englanders” would you like to claim as Irish?

The only correct answer is Jamie T, btw

A poster with a photographic collage in the centre. Text reads Catherine Connolly and Disabled people &
Carers for Connolly present: Rights of Disabled People and Carers, a panel discussion, Alannah Uí Geargáin,
Mary Lou McDonald, Blezzing Dada, Tom Clonan, Emma Ward. 16th oct 1.30pm
The Helix, Dublin & streamed online. The collage features head and shoulder images of each of the speakers with Catherine Connolly in the middle and is bordered by a yellow spiral design in a similar style to the rest of Catherine Connolly's campaign marketing. The poster features two logos, a 'CC' in red at the top and a green 'disabled people and carers for Connolly' at the bottom. The background to the image looks like a green paper.

Text reads: event info: The event will take place in The Gallery Room of The Helix, DCU, D09 FW22 pictured above. The event will start at 1.30 and will last around 90 minutes. The event will be fully hybrid and will be recorded. The venue is wheelchair accessible. This event will be ISL interpreted. This is a relaxed event, you can make noise, stim or move if you need. Free FFP2 masks available and we ask that those who are able wear them to protect our immunocompromised friends. Any other accessibility requirements please let us know at admin@connollyforpresident.ie . Above the text is an image of where the talk will be held, it is a medium sized room with yellow walls and a small stage with 5 relaxed arm chairs on it. There is a blue projection screen behind the chairs. In the foreground are 4 rows of empty chairs either side of an aisle

Still shocks me to this day that so many people don’t know that Blindboy is Enoch Burke and he’s doing the entire bit as background for his next book.

Richard Chambers @newschambers.bsky.social · 17h

A group of people have turned up to Catherine Connolly’s canvass in Naas asking about Enoch and Elijah Burke.

They have asked Connolly if she’s a Freemason…

When I was in school Paul Murphy used to threaten Democracy almost every day. Poor fella never went to P.E in case Murph tried to kick him around the badminton court.

Isn’t Red-Green Populism so much better than our Blue-greenish capitalism?

They did this to my father in 1970.
He wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his mother. 55 years later, same abuse and injustice.

Went to the farm earlier. Saw the most coquettish pig you've ever met.

A pig, working the camera like her life depends on it.

Giving a talk at a NUJ event later about how if we cannot have equality in our liberal democracy, then journalists must make those who campaign for equality the enemies of liberal democracy.

Come along.
