It's time to introduce you to John Joe. He's my best pal in the whole world.
I just wish he'd make more of an effort when we're playing hide and seek

Connolly for President @catherinegalway.bsky.social · 11h

As a mother, a barrister, a teacher, a clinical psychologist with a lifetime of public service, I have a wealth of experience I will bring to the role of President.

The President vows to protect the welfare of the people, and I will do so with courage and integrity.

Vótáil #1 Catherine Connolly.

By 1922, the British had infested about a quarter of the world's land mass and forced its rule over 1 in 4 people globally. Bit late to be expecting white faces to dominate the emptying husk of your empire. The best part left is the richness of your people.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

There is one short paragraph referencing Catherine Connolly in this quite long article, wedged in awkwardly near the end and adding absolutely nothing of worth. But hey, it let them use her name and picture alongside 'threat from Russia'. Really desperate stuff.

Pat Leahy: Ireland faces a stark choice in the face of the threat from Russia

Catherine Connolly’s horror at the remilitarisation of Europe is understandable, but she has taken the wrong lesson from the history of the 1930s

Notice it was the Indo who published? A blatant attempt to gather votes for Humphreys. And his votes will go to HH. No need to highlight this. Play the game ffs!

We will keep marching.
We will keep organising.
We will keep speaking up.

Until there is a permanent ceasefire.
Until the siege is lifted.
Until the occupation ends.
Until apartheid is dismantled.
Until the perpetrators of genocide are held to account.
Until Palestine is free 🇵🇸

Mick Clifford's rush to the keypad will do precious little for journalism in Ireland either.

How to get your head around the core fact that the Democrats handed the most powerful position on Earth to Trump because they refused to compromise on supporting Israel slaughter 10s of 1,000s of children??

Spineless, corrupt, so-called 'progressives' are primarily to blame for the rise of fascism.

Is briseadh mór croí dom an scéal a chloisteáil faoi bhás Mhanchán Magan ar maidin. Thug sé beocht agus brí nua don teanga trína chuid oibre ag léiriú gur lionsa eile í an Ghaeilge leis an domhan a fheiceáil agus a thuiscint.

Manchán Magan devoted his life to enriching Irish culture. He was a man about whom you’d never hear a bad word said. Kind and generous and gentle. RIP

Andy Weatherall would have been delighted with that closing set last year BTW. Strangely the best of the weekend, and that's not to take anything away from the rest. I loved it all

It's the beauty of ALFOS. Keeping everything below 122bpms leaves enormous scope for introduction a few surprises. Sean and Vlad's closing party last year was a masterclass in keeping the intensity on the down low. I'm the Irish guy with the old hat. Say hello. See you in a few days man!

The thing about the first time the FBI catches you on camera receiving a $50,000 bribe is it's definitely not the first time you've received a $50,000 bribe.
