Calling a man a man is not 'bullying' or 'punching down.' Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us.
@a_sher_look@lemonmiwadi Erica Cpdy is a great singer but she's too bla for eurovision, it would be like sending wild youth again. Our only hope is do something different like ailsha
@escxmatt Ailsha needs to go through if we have any chance of qualifying. She's outside the box. If we send another bland pop bop we won't get through, we won't deserve to.

It is absolutely crucial that everyone grasps the terrifying reality of what's unfolding in Ireland. Our freedom, the freedom of the press, the freedom to express our views, the freedom to protest, and the freedom of speech are all under relentless assault. Our nation is undergoing a profound transformation, and the government, seemingly ignoring the very people who put them in power, is speeding towards an election where, regardless of the main political parties chosen in your vote, they all dance to the same tune or essentially exhibit the same level of disdain for the electorate.
Social media and organisations such as @griptmedia , along with select broadcasters like myself, are viewed as threats by the government. Not because we propagate falsehoods or disinformation, but because we dare to correct and balance the narrative and misrepresentations of the truth peddled by some of our elected representatives. Their only response is to wield a heavy-handed arsenal of discrediting, canceling, silencing, and shutting down these alternative voices. Numerous instances abound, with Senator Malcolm Byrne recently singling out Gript Media baselessly, suggestion they should not be accredited by the press council and quoting guidelines suggesting they discriminate against minorities with no evidence of these accusations.
Leo Varadkar himself, in a bid to control the narrative, suggested to @griptmedia reporter @Ben_Scallan that they fact-check themselves regarding mainstream media myths surrounding immigration policy. Despite the policy surrounding seeking asylum being in the first country of entry, Varadkar's claims, including checking criminal records and the idea that Ireland maintains open borders, were debunked by Gript, Aontu, and other informed individuals, even within his own Government past and present. Goinf as far as contradicting his own opinions of the past.
A chilling future looms on the horizon where laws may soon be enacted to stifle alternate views, deeming them offensive or inciting hatred. The question arises, who gets to decide what views are offensive or incitement? Answer: The government of course, through appointed moral guardians committees and organisations, who will hold this power, deciding whether citizens are allowed to express their opinions or if the media can broadcast particular dissenting views or alternate viewpoints.
Orwellian legislation, poised on the precipice of being signed by our president, threatens not only those who spread alternate viewpoints but even those who dare to think about them or prepare related content. Justice Minister Helen McEntee provides a stark example by suggesting recently that you could be prosecuted for having a banner with alleged hateful slogans in your car trunk going to a protest if your car is searched by the Gardai. Home searches, device seizures, and prosecutions may follow, even if the material was never posted online or in public.
Elected representatives, aware that this legislation contradicts democratic principles and infringes upon free speech, lack the courage to vote against it, fearing repercussions that might jeopardize their political standing and overpaid positions. As I observe my surroundings daily, it becomes painfully apparent that citizens, preoccupied with day-to-day life, are oblivious to the gravity of these regressive laws and controls imposed by both the government and the EU. These laws will directly impact their ability to think critically, as they remain shielded from any dissenting information beyond the government-sanctioned narrative that they will be exposed to on main stream media or by mainstream press.
To those currently fighting in Ireland, like myself, @Gript, and a few others, and to those with international platforms like @elonmusk , @RobertKennedyJr , @shellenberger , and many more, we applaud your efforts. Keep highlighting the implementation of these Orwellian laws on the international stage and continue to expose Ireland's embarrassment. Most importantly, spread the word to those unaware of the dire situation, urging them to join the debate and resist laws and policies that threaten to strip away our freedoms to speak and express our views freely, turning Ireland into a country that even a communist society could only dream of.
@trish776 Yeah he's a Billie Barry child dancer. Unfair IMO for a dance competition show, but I heard they've had professional dancers on before so it's the norm.
College Green shut down, Dublin City Council hanging out flags and banners, warplanes flying over the stadium, the US Navy docking on a "courtesy" visit, paddy-whackery dialled up to 11, all for a college level sporting event.
So deeply embarassing, all of it!
Delighted to start my new job today as a senior software engineer in charge of ATM transactions for Bank of Ireland! Had a super first day, can't wait to login tomorrow and get back to the grindstone!
Multiple tourists assaulted in Dublin recently, sexual assaults and generally a violent atmosphere.
Gardaí? Invisible.
But when Bank of Ireland ATMs start spitting out free cash there's Gardaí everywhere.
Helen cares more about the banks then people's safety.

If you went into the Gardai and told them the Bank Of Ireland conned you out of your tracker Mortgage which cost you your home they would tell you it was a civil matter.

Obviously not worth amplifying but the usual bigots are trying to detract from Liz's historic gold medal today 🥇
Pathetic comments like "she's not even Irish".
Ignoring that for now, a short thread on rising star and history-making 18-year-old Irishwoman Elizabeth Ndudi 🇮🇪 /1
@Sanchordia @michaelsteeles @bandwildyouth People are sick of mediocre band getting platforms like they do compared to honest good hard working musicians. Half of WY are so ungrateful, I know 2 are grafters and really put in the work but the public have a right to voice anger at last week. Claiming it was lies is bull
@Sanchordia @michaelsteeles @bandwildyouth Michaels statement is true, yours is also half true, you're right alot of it jk stans jumped on the bandwagon but they have a pattern of behaviour outside of that. If you've been following them since they were Lunar you'd know.
My dad couldn't afford it 20 years ago being a single dad but all my mates went, I would have loved it. How in this day and age of it being so successful and going so long is something like this not available to all kids who want to learn?
On my way back to Dublin from the Galway Gaeltacht after collecting my son. I asked him to rate his experience at Coláiste Lurgan. He said 10/10. Great to hear.
Wouldn't it be great if every child had the option of attending the Gaeltacht Summer Colleges?
