@du_dot_ie @CharlieFlanagan @rte @IrishTimes @Independent_ie Let’s be honest - it’s probably hard to follow the news when Charlie’s head is so far up his own arse chasing attention from fashbots.

@CharlieFlanagan @rte @IrishTimes @Independent_ie Ye might want to learn how to use Google…

Events on the streets in Iran groundbreaking and fast moving. The prolonged silence from Irish media, @rte @IrishTimes @Independent_ie is not only remarkable but deafening.

@JDVance America’s elites are too dumb and short sighted to invest in solar so ye just decided to go plunder oil from a weaker kid in the neighbourhood.

@paulmurphy_TD Either/or. Doesn't matter! X is just a massive disinformation engine and tool to push people deeper into a delusional far-right fantasy land. By this time next year, they'll probably believe Santa Claus needs to be bombed to bits & deposed in Lapland. He's dressed in RED FFS!

Do these people just literally pay no attention to anything outside of their far right echo chamber or do they just make it up?

True

@DavQuinn You’re only bleating about Iran now because it suits you. You’ve written dozens of articles on every kind of crankery, yet showed zero concern for Iran until it became a convenient rhetorical pawn during these recent protests. muckrack.com/david-quinn/ar…

Where are all the protests in favour of the Iran protests? Not seeing any. What do our politicians have to say?

@john_mcguirk Statements like this are simply not to be taken seriously. There are 1,321 results for “Iran” on the Amnesty.org website and they published a 409 page report on the situation there in April 2025.

Amnesty International, arguably the world's single worst organisation, has predictably had not one single solitary word to say about the protests in Iran or the brutal ongoing repression of same.

@ForestHills1903 @dieworkwear It’s been like this for a long while. The slide into whack job Christian nationalism and people being fully convinced places like London or Dublin are warzones with Christmas banned, has just meant the full tilt pivot away from reality to actual madness is simply too much.

@antrophe @dieworkwear X is wrecked, I’m in the UK and been drowned in pro US MAGA/Anti Europe posts last 2 days. Obvious Musks pushed this but X isn’t fun, it’s like drowning me in propaganda pushed by Trump/Musk. Time to leave I think.

impressive bait

@davydublin47 @gavreilly @catherinegalway Good man. You keep banging your head against reality there. president.ie/en/diary/detai…

@antrophe @gavreilly @catherinegalway So anyone who thinks a Christmas message should involve Christmas is a "loola"? Lol 🤣

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

@workmansflopera @gavreilly @catherinegalway The Winter/Xmas debate just shows how dangerously delusional this site has become. It’s a sewer. They were publishing photos of staff involved in the marketing campaign today. Disgusting and abusive.

@antrophe @gavreilly @catherinegalway Those reactionary gobshites had their tweets and their articles drafted before she even said a word. If I was her I would've been awful tempted to call it a Winter Message for the craic 😅

@workmansflopera @gavreilly @catherinegalway Fair enough - I didn't see that. The way the loolas were going nuts over the Xmas message and dancing around like they'd a severed head on a pyke - it looked like a victory dance for some BS Musk interference and "owning the libs." Thanks for clarifying.

@antrophe @gavreilly @catherinegalway No it posted a tweet yesterday that was like a political statement about opposition and I suspect that was the final straw for her team

@gavreilly @catherinegalway Being reported as such now. Mad stuff really. Maybe someone was thinking it could act as a booster account, or maybe someone more nefarious was going to use it for the purposes of broader disinformation and misrepresentation campaigns. thejournal.ie/president-conn…

@BrandyCMendez Worse than “popping cocaine” is their recent promotion of yellow bentines and triple sod. These new, made up drugs are absolutely destroying people’s brains.

Ireland’s cultural brain rot is now official state policy, and Kneecap are just Culture Decay with a soundtrack. This is who the President of Ireland was proudly greeting in Phoenix Park, a band whose entire public identity is built on glorifying drug use, selling pills, popping cocaine, sneering at police, celebrating antisocial chaos and wrapping it all in “rebellion” cosplay. Put Palestine aside for a second. Put politics aside. Strip the slogans away. What’s left is not resistance. It’s rot. Half their lyrics romanticise being off their heads, pushing drugs, fighting authority for the sake of it, turning nihilism into a lifestyle brand. That’s not edgy. That’s not revolutionary. That’s the fastest way to rot a generation’s sense of consequence, responsibility and reality. And yet this is who gets the smile, the handshake, the photo-op from the head of state. And it doesn’t stop there. This same band is now plastered onto the shirt of Bohemian Football Club, a club whose stadium redevelopment is backed by substantial Irish government funding. Public money. Public legitimacy. Public endorsement. The message is clear: this is who we celebrate now. The Palestinian cause gave a generation permission to romanticise conflict again, to cosplay war, to chant about intifadas and “troubles” like history is a Netflix series instead of something Ireland paid for in blood. We are watching young people who never lived through real violence talk about it like it’s a vibe. Like it’s brave. Like it’s fun. I warned @MichealMartinTD Martin that the open Jew-hatred wasn’t the real canary in the coal mine. It’s just the first crack. The deeper problem is a society losing its immune system, confusing destruction with courage, addiction with authenticity, antisocial behaviour with moral clarity. These are not heroes. This is not culture. This is decay dressed up as rebellion and the fact that our institutions are clapping along should scare everyone, no matter where they sit politically.bohe

@I_amMukhtar My new favourite boxer. Salute to you sir!

He went straight to Twitter to check if the L he took is going viral.

@john_mcguirk @Grok - is the term "courageous" a compliment? Please explain why.

@antrophe Since when is courageous a compliment? Lots of things take courage. It takes courage to starve yourself to death. It takes courage to have yourself committed indefinitely to jail. It also takes rank stupidity.

If you had a child and that child was dating someone who told them that if your child broke up with them, they would harm themselves, you would tell your child to run. Self-harm is moral blackmail. These prisoners are free to eat any time they want.

@john_mcguirk And? She was an award-winning reporter who gave a keynote at an event organised by the Journalism programme at the UofL. What am I - clairvoyant? No one could see the direction she'd take after hanging out with the likes of Gript authors like John Waters. theguardian.com/media/greensla…

@antrophe By the way, only one of us has ever adoringly interviewed Gemma O'Doherty and promoted her as a "tenacious old school reporter". That was you, my friend. Not me.

@john_mcguirk You really think I’m paying for your “premium” ramblings? You called his actions “courageous.” If most people didn’t see him as worthy of pisstake Paddy’s Day floats, you’d be out waving pom-poms. But you're playing it safe for the “relatively normal middle.”

@antrophe There speaks someone who has never read a single solitary word I have written about Enoch Burke.
