An important message for #speirgorm

“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.”

- Fred Hampton

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

One of my favorite albums from last year. Looking forward to more music.

Both Kris Kross and the Melvins were on it tonight.

A proper noisy hot rock show complete with a tops off pit; which at times came close to disturbing my patented nod and occasional sway move.

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”

Mogwai were amazing tonight. Seriously loud then quiet then LOUDER THAN ANYTHING!

Remembering Sinéad O’Connor on her 2nd anniversary, and words from a new song, Milestones, she sang the last time I saw her play live. It ends with the lines:
“One day we’ll sit with our maker
Discuss over biscuits and soda
Which one of you and me was braver
Which one of us was a true soldier?”

The new @poorcreaturemusic.bsky.social album is great.

I stuck it on whilst cooking and almost burnt everything to a cinder.

Irish government is blocking these children's visas. #LetThemPlay #GaaPalestine my.uplift.ie/petitions/le... @uplift.ie

Yes online petitions are a pox but just in case

Solidarity with Ballymena Pride today ✊

But you know, the massive crowds out for Dublin Pride today *absolutely dwarf* the biggest gathering the far right have ever managed. Literally many hundreds of times bigger. They won’t ever win. They’ll just be loud while losing, like a dying wasp

Travel on well SLY STONE 1943-2025, singer, songwriter, musical director, producer, frontman, funkster, pioneer, genius. Thankyou for all the inspiration, for breaking ground so others could follow and for being the sassiest, funkiest Being on planet earth.

We absolutely agree with Cunningham here (too)
Absolutely revolting of LBC 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Likewise Patrick. A fantastic evening all round. Take care

It's my first time seeing both and I'm giddy, but still cool like

You gave people a chance to be kind and they took it with both hands. Thank you.

There are some beautiful people in my life orbit, and for that, I remain truly grateful.

The Vaselines were brilliant last Friday in the Grand Social. Much better than I expected.

I went knowing only the 3 songs we all know but I had a blast.

ReBluesky for a chance to win tickets to Hyperdawn, who are awesome, and Minced Oath, who is awesome next Friday. This will be one of the best Dublin nights of electronic music in 2025. In fact also reBluesky if you don't want tickets, to be in with a chance of not winning anything at all. Yay!

Spiritualized were great last night.

The 13 piece band really made a great noise.
