@Wiresbrg @jmichelle555 @JacobB198 @billboard @Spotify The biggest chart account has 2.6million followers here...

@jmichelle555 @JacobB198 @billboard @Spotify How did BTS fans even notice that?

He's going to attempt to bot his streams day 3, day 4, day 5, day 6, & day 7 since the amount fell so hard today. If @billboard or @Spotify don't remove those botted streams like they did when 21 Savage played the same game.......the public will notice

@EPM106 @eathedocument It worth noting that this book and the author have been condemned by Jean McConvilles family and then he went on to make money after that with a TV show based on it...

@eathedocument also at one point he describes the IRA executing a fellow member who ordered a botched hit on his mistress’s husband as “an atrocity” which like…. girl

does anybody have any book recommendations about the troubles/north of ireland history in general? i read say nothing and i know that was obviously a very american/anti-IRA perspective so i would love to read more.

@eathedocument @gimmbie13 Its not a book but Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland which is the most balanced version that ive seen youtu.be/v68PoFI78Kc?si… Its pretty short at only 5 episodes and its as neutral as it can be, and points out how *all* sides were bad. (And im from NI)

@gimmbie13 i’m most interested in like 60s-now but i’m open to any recommendations from any era

@KitchenSceptic @LaymansScience @Toibin1 The implications of what you've said here are really worring. Given how kids can start menstrating when they're <10....

@LaymansScience @Toibin1 All people who menstruate are women.Don’t be afraid of the word woman. Adult human females. Men can’t have our words . Find your own.

People who menstruate;..........

@Aporia111 @EoinLenihan Apart from this being complete nonsense. If this were true they'd be regarded in ireland as like english like how their plastic paddy cousins are regarded as American

@EoinLenihan Generations of Irish in Manchester don't regard themselves as English but by their ancestry, Mancunian Irish. On Reddit they discussed a researcher wanted to talk to them as to what they do to maintain their Irishness. They all said what does she mean 'maintain' we just are Irish

Fatima Gunning on Irishness. "A person who was born to non-Irish parents is not Irish. They may have an Irish passport, but the Irish are an ethnic group which is thousands of years old, and simply being born and/or raised on Irish soil does not make one part of that group."

@Possiblecontrol Or it could be youre just a racist prick?

Trying to change jobs in Ireland is the worst experience for a white Christian male. Zero callbacks. Over 200 applied since January. I'm tempted to redo my CV with a foreign name with all of my experience just to expose it all. My cv is great I'm just not the right colour.

@betterirel99972 @Sarahjdublin "Let no Irishman throw a stone at the foreigner; he may hit his own clansman’’— James Connolly

@Sarahjdublin The Men & Women of 1916 fought and died so we could be Irish, Have Ireland for the Irish. No to foreigners. Ireland exists because of the rebels of 1916. Do not dare tarnish that memory and their wishes and in turn, turn on ur own. Were they racist and wrong?

They are actually

@OsgurOCiardha I feel like you might have touched a wee nerve there! Ive also in the last 24 hrs seen those ppl argue that there are "female fadas" and they look like this è!

Ní tástáil í do chumas Gaeilge ar d'Éireannachas, ná baol air. Ach má tá tú ag bleadracht leat ó dhubh go dubh faoi do chultúr dúchasach a bheith i mbaol is tástáil réasúnta maith é ar cé chomh lán de chac is atá tú.

@PangurBn10 So pray tell why did the Catholic church refuse to christen babies with irish names up till the 1970s or so?

More revisionism. The main reason the Irish language was suppressed was because it was seen as a ‘Papists Tongue’ in the first place. In regards to Printing Culture, Catholics were barred from doing so under something called the penal laws, Tomás, although seanchló print was developed by Irish Clergy abroad in the likes of Louvain as they were forced to study in the European continent where they produced Cathechisms to be sent back to Ireland with the priests caught doing this executed or exiled. The Annals of the Four Masters - masterpiece of Gaelic literature and to which saved many aspects of Irish history - was written by Four Irish priests who were exiled to the continent. By the time the Irish Catholics had better ability for print culture we were in a Union with Britain and over half the population was speaking English. To blame the Church because it was suppressed along with the language is just farcical. And it was later by the likes of Father Eugene O’Growney’s lectures in Irish that sparked the Gaelic Revival.

@ballymaghan @DanMulhall Emma DeSouza the woman who fought in the Courts about how she wasn't a *British* citizen and how they should honour the rights that she had as an *Irish* citizen? That one? I mean don't let little things like facts get in the way of your fairytale...

@DanMulhall Do you remember when the whole of nationalist ireland supported emma desouza when she went to court claiming that she was not properly Irish because she had second citizenship. And unionism was attacked by all for saying simply “you have an irish passport, your are Irish”

A lot of the angry responses to my post appear to be confused about Irishness. They think it’s only available to people whose families on both sides have lived in Ireland for generations. Those people are certainly Irish but so are many people of Irish heritage who were born abroad. If they have one Irish born grandparent, they are entitled to citizenship. Someone born in Ireland without an Irish heritage but who grows up here is, under our laws, entitled to be Irish. What else could they be. They may never have seen their ancestral homeland. They have been educated in Ireland and been part of our society. The only reason for denying them the right to be Irish would be racism pure & simple, and that is not something most Irish people would go along with, although a noisy minority probably holds such un-Irish views.

@OldIrishName @MaiaDunphy Yes "fadas" none of which were added. Kinda just proved my original point there...

@jane95743 @MaiaDunphy I didn't use Google translate. Those are my mistakes and I'll own them. I also couldn't be fucked putting in all the fadas. Again, I'll own that. Try again.

Have you seen the Rose of Tralee??? Full of 3rd generation Americans who’ve never set foot on Irish soil 😂! Suad was born in Sligo, is a medical scientist, a business woman & a community youth leader. If you believe the Rose competition has any merit, she’s a perfect candidate.

@OldIrishName @MaiaDunphy * i gCorcaigh *Níl mé Meiriceánach * 800 bliain ar ais (no need for beagnach) * t-anraith Google translate has gotten better so only a few corrections!

@jane95743 @MaiaDunphy Is mise Tomàs, Ta me I mo chonai I Corcaigh. ní Meiriceánach mé. Is féidir liom mo chrann ginealaigh a rianú siar beagnach 800 bliain. Níor ghlac mo theaghlach an anraith. Kisses 😘

@OldIrishName @MaiaDunphy Níl a fhios agam! Abair sin arís, le do thoil as Gaeilge

@jane95743 @MaiaDunphy I'm 100% Irish dicklips. I live in land that's been in my family for over 300 years. My ancestors never took the soup, and we kept our ancestral Irish name. Unlike the Dunphys and whatever you are.

@MaiaDunphy @OldIrishName Its because they're yanks and think its the most offensive word *ever* while also allowing them to be misogynistic. Also yer man is "oldirishname" complete with tricolour but doesnt seem to know what a fada is...

@OldIrishName Haha!! What IS it with you lot and the word 'cunt'?!? Is it a limited vocabulary thing or are you all the same person? 🤣🤣

@genzalternative @ellad3vi I mean she also owns an underwear brand IRL and 1. Doesn't carry her own size and 2. Worn a bra that fits in her life...

@ellad3vi THEY DONT MAKE TBESE TOPS OFR PEOPLE WTH BIG BOOBS OKAY 😭😭😭😭😭

cassie wears an embellished denim crop top from blumarine in euphoria season three. noticing that a common thread in her costuming is her character not choosing garments that fit her chest

@DianaJA76 @Gimpuslegend @isnit0 @timreay Its also more cost effective than any insurance based healthcare model - take the US it spends more tax per capita on healthcare and ppl there *still* have to buy private insurance on top of it...

@Gimpuslegend @isnit0 @timreay Not true. Check your history. NHS was a pioneer, while Europe still crumbled from the war the U.K. had a far superior health care. It plummeted in the 80’s. It was amazing in the late 90’s/early 00’s. It’s plummeted again since 2008. It’s investment but crucially where you invest

I want to vote for a party that will: - scrap the triple lock (move to GDP/capita lock) - build significant infrastructure and homes (e.g. Forest City) - spend less on healthcare (e.g. move to insurance model) - cancel most student loans (for many, uni is a waste of time and money) - completely stop low-quality immigration - help businesses adjust to higher cost of labour (automation loans etc) - spend more on defence - means test state pensions - commit to experimenting with alternate education models (idk what will work in the future, but not what we have) There’s no option right now that even gets me half.

@Hibou_Assent @ArnaudB12849 I have questions on the cutlery - why is there a fish knife but no fish fork? Why is there a desert spoon instead of a knife?

@ArnaudB12849 Pour le savoir il faudrait avoir le menu. Vous l'avez ?

Quel service immonde ! En jaune : couverts carrément sous le bord de l'assiette. En violet : verres pas disposés à l'anglaise (pourtant la disposition des couverts) En bleu : assiette qui dépasse le bord de table En rouge : nappe qui ne tombe pas et avec un ourlet moche. 😂

@Yjvitor @Book_1312 @PigLazer And you have neither in NI...

@Book_1312 @PigLazer You're splitting hairs here. England and Wales don't have the right to roam, they have the Right of Way (which is essentially the same thing)

@AngloAvalon @thirty3i8ght @DoctorLemma He did retire and move to Bermuda if that helps! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@thirty3i8ght @DoctorLemma :(

@JimLawrenc79052 @SamiraAhmedUK If you want somewhere to go to talk pens the r/fountainpens is a really good sub - it also skews younger than prob most other fountain pen places. (My fave pens at the moment are a vintage Pelikan 400nn (flex nib), a Pilot 823 (M), a Pilot Myu (m) and a Pilot 74 (with a SM nib!)

@SamiraAhmedUK What fountain pen do you use, Samira? I bloomin' love fountain pens, me!

On Saturday I went into a Ryman's to buy blotting paper. The young assistant knew exactly where it was - "in a very odd place" - (next to the pens) and as I paid politely asked what it was for. So I told her. I feel so delightfully old and wise..
