missed the original telling of the story and thats just lovely.

#speirgorm is like trumpeting on a hill or lighting the fire for me😂
It's a way of saying, "Irish people, over here! I seek you help"/ "Only Irish people can sympathise with me right now"
Was it meant to be a Gaeilge thing?!

Yep. they are free and infinite you just need to create them

ok was curious.

yep, like #vinb or #sneachta

some people need to get a life. It is a hashtag, slang in the vernacular, hiberno-english not the recolonialisation of Ireland

what have I missed ?

Patricia Casey who tried to get Ivor Browne struck off as a psychiatrist, Stella founder of a group named as a hate group by the SPLC and a student who appears to be against Sex Ed...and it goes downhill....sidenote are Gerard and Patricia Casey related?

Brilliant. New branch of forensic linguistics, "topper" is as sure a tell of being from outside the pale as the use of "hang sandwiches"

Topper. I mean you sharpen knives not pencils. Parer potentially. The linguistic map of responses will be interesting. I remember finding out that not everyone called snails shellakybooky. Different people using different words for the same thing. Ain't the world fantastic

Tank you!

It’s the Irish special criminal courts

imagining a version where the judge asks “and are any of these antifa in the room with us now” before gently filleting the defence barrister which beats this version

thats quite something.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

god be with the days you'd have a natter with him on Twitter pre his ascension to the Dáil

#OrlaTopper is the new #FloridaDave on #speirgorm

Toppers for topping things, runners for the things your run in and rubbers for the things you rub out after you've written them down with the pencil you've freshly sharpened with your topper
