I’ll say it again, he’s an idiot but, it’s the people propping him up, doing his dirty, racist, fascist work for him that I’m most mad at… If this is a test of our democracy (as is constantly claimed, long after the barn door has been left wide open and the horses have bolted) then we are failing.!

My son, Cian is 20 today (pictured with his sister)… Unreal..!
He’s a great young man. A thinker and tinkerer. He’s starting at University of Pittsburgh soon and loves taking cars apart and fixing them.
He’s cool… I love him dearly.
Happy Birthday Cian.

Children dying of starvation in Gaza, others shot dead trying to get food, Genocide happening before our eyes. In the U.S, legal immigrants disappeared for minor infractions.
Keep looking to the stars, real things.

Inequality is not actually a requirement.
It's a choice we're making. We built an exploitation culture that believes poverty is necessary & inequality is impossible to negate.
So we've created a self-fulfilling prophecy & a paradigm built on inferiority-superiority complexes.

Sad to hear of the passing of Mike Peters of The Alarm
Back in the 90s I got to open for him in the Rock Garden in Dublin’s Temple Bar anyone remember?
I’ll tell you this… The man was a pure gentleman. He couldn’t have been nicer or more supportive to a bunch of young rock n rollers.
Rest well

I broke ties with the Catholic Church around 16
Whatever about any flaws, it’s undeniable that his was an important voice in our global time of madness, and I am sad to see him depart…
Unfortunately, I’m not sure a real Christian will take his place.
