@Timmysofine @speciaallbeing The video is over a year old, you could credit the creator, @modelstrangers on Instagram and maybe check in on James there

@netanyahu Give me Spain, a thousand times Spain. Tell it to the Hague, you fecking ogre.

@batcountry1980 I’m late to your post, but we’d just rewatched it tonight. What struck me was how much Parker’s camera loved Johnny Murphy’s Joey the Lips - he was the heart - past and the promise, and they just had to light for the glint in his eye, and Johnny did the magic. What music too

@johncreedon Haven’t heard Doves in a while John – was prompted to look them up, hearing the unfamiliar vocals. Didn’t realise Jimi Goodwin was unwell and taking a sabbatical from the band. Was surprised & delighted to meet him at that miraculous planxty gig in Vicar Street. I wish him well.

@JOMGLNMR @IrishTimesOpEd 1. The person named was one of many
2. Rooney doesn’t mention the government interfering in UK law. 3. Being treated ‘exactly the same as others’ doesn’t make that treatment right, for any of them. Your argument is completely beside the point. Slán

@DesignScotter @IrelandFootball @FAIreland @EthnikiOmada That’s a lovely job - funny, clever and beautiful

Diana Marksman’s dancers appear melancholy and internal creatures. Their youthful frames appear less as spine and bone than as a fluid collection of thoughts and associations held together, barely, by a thin cover of translucent skin. https://t.co/0WSd6M2EEY

The usual geniuses keep using this photo, to make their usual dumb/hateful anti-immigration arguments.

Quite ironic, to say the least.

A few facts about this photo, for anyone interested in who those women were - and what their stories might tell you about Ireland. /1

This was me exactly 3.5 years ago today. I was in hospital as I’d just nearly drunk myself to death. I’d been an alcoholic and suffered from depression and anxiety for 25 years.

I’m completely sober now and wanted to share some learnings that may help someone (1/8) 🧵

[Richard Meade @richbname]

@PaddyJManning @SteveMc18996095 This might prove useful for you.

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

This has to be one of the most ignorant, insidious and offensive conspiracy theories I've ever seen on Irish Twitter.

Absolute bully here alleging Ivana Bacik's grandfather was a Nazi collaborator and (separately) defaming Ivana herself.

A thread on her grandfather. /1

@scoutfinchreads @bbboatclub @chrisdooley1 Could you share the playlist Maria? I know a little, but not enough

@obrienmark @TraBreaga @AbbeyTheatre @artscouncil_ie @DeptCultureIRL I likes it Mark - particularly the bold colour work - onwards!

We watch a campaign that is senseless, disproportionate, counterproductive, cold blooded and fundamentally evil. Israel will admit the futility of it all one day, but Sidra and her family, and tens of thousands more will be long gone off this earth. Enough Israel, just stop.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

This is 7 year old Sidra, the cousin of my wife. The impact of the Israeli missile was so powerful it flung her out, leaving her mutilated body dangling from the ruins of the destroyed building in Rafah 48 hours ago. My wife’s aunt Suzan, her husband Fouzy Hassouna, two of their sons, Muhammad and Karam, Karam's wife Amouna and her three children (7-year-old twins Sidra and Suzan, and 15-month-old Malik) were all killed. The family had been displaced from the north of Gaza and took shelter in Rafah. We will be relentless until those responsible brought to justice.

@rockyoriordan Happy day Cáit… looking well on it, and still putting smiles on faces

@CrowleyOnAir ‘Appetite’ had me with ‘Wishes she could call him Heartache
But it's not a boy's name.’

Nick Cave's new tribute to Shane MacGowan, which doubles as a tribute to Sinéad O'Connor (from his newsletter, doesn't seem to be linkable yet)

"A beautiful and damaged man, who embodied a kind of purity and innocence and generosity and spiritual intelligence unlike any other."

[Richard Meade @richbname]

@Andr6wMale Always loved this - one of the most beautiful, sweeps you along
