What a pleasure it is to live here, on the surface of the Earth.

@AmandaJBrunker @greenparty_ie @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD The only thing making the road smaller in this video seems to be parked cars. Am I missing something?

@davitter Very sad for you all today Ed. It's really grim but this is a long game.

It's been a fairly awful day at the count centre in the RDS for us Greens. I remain incredibly proud of the amazing work my colleagues in the Parliamentary Party +Leinster House and Government staff did in turning the ship that is Irish climate policy around #GE24

@LizWebsterSBF @PaulbernalUK It seems history is to blame.

@PaulbernalUK England is the main problem.

One election candidate is referring to NGO funding as a "luxury idea" - I suspect people who rely on voluntary hospitals, disability services, public housing etc would not agree.

The #MLIAwards 2024 have come to a close. A huge congratulations to all the winners for their outstanding contributions to media literacy in Ireland. A special thanks to @CNaM_ie @VirginMedia_TV #MLIAwards2024

@PaulbernalUK Don't forget Big Sandwich previously tried to stop Brexit x.com/ryano/status/1…

@MrBlackFrancis Post your handle!

The Sultans of Ping* waited until this site was in its death throes before following me. * I'm guessing this is not actually the Sultans of Ping FC as they're missing the "FC"

@garrethmcdaid That is a Twitter thread, not a court case.

It's interesting how in rape cases the history of the accused is relevant but the history of the plaintiff is strictly off limits.

@garrethmcdaid @think_or_swim @bluesky How's Elon war on bots going?

@think_or_swim @bluesky Twitter has between 300-500m active users.

It’s all taking off over at @bluesky as Space Karen drives TwiX ever deeper into the ditch. Seriously, what are you waiting for?

@malone_te @EnochBurke There you go

@ryano @EnochBurke You’d get arrested for trespassing.

BREAKING: MAYO FINE GAEL ELECTION CANDIDATE SILENT ON ENOCH BURKE’S INCARCERATION Teacher Enoch Burke has now spent 470 days in prison after refusing to endorse transgender ideology in his school. Mayo Fine Gael General Election candidate Martina Jennings was visiting Ballinrobe Community School today, 20 minutes from the home of Enoch Burke. When asked about Enoch Burke, Jennings said she had nothing to say “at the moment.” This week, for the first time in its history, Ballinrobe Community School raised the LGBTQ+ flag. The school is currently implementing the ‘Stand Up’ week developed by LGBT lobby group BelongTo. Brochures from BelongTo used in schools across Ireland this week advise students that terms such as ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ are now outdated and should not be used. They also advise students that when meeting someone for the first time the ‘they’ pronoun should always be used. This perverted ideology is being promoted in schools right across the country, with more emphasis placed on it now than on basic school subjects such as Maths and English. Parents must stand up against this indoctrination and destruction of their children.

@malone_te @EnochBurke What if you continued to show up at the school in defiance of a court order?

@EnochBurke I don’t understand Irish law. If my job required me to espouse trans propaganda and I refused to do it, I would get fired. But there would be no question of going to jail.

@garrethmcdaid No one mentioned Conor McGregor. We're talking about billionaires here. If you don't think billionaires have influence I don't know what to tell you.

Elitism is not a function of wealth. No one would describe Conor McGregor as a member of the elite. Elitism is a function of influence.

@MurphyEoghan @TodaywithClaire @bonnierbooks_uk @eriu_books @GillHessLtd Very good interview Eoghan, it certainly sold me on getting the book!

Great to chat with @TodaywithClaire yesterday about my new book Running From Office. You can listen back here: rte.ie/radio/radio1/c… #RunningFromOffice is now available in all good bookshops or online: geni.us/RunningfromOff… @bonnierbooks_uk @eriu_books @GillHessLtd

If an election is called with polling on 29 November, the deadline for voter registration or updates will be Tuesday 12 November. Don’t delay register now! CheckTheRegister.ie #YourVoteYourVoice @Ireland_Votes

Only political take for today: if you see a conservative tweeting about what the Democrats should learn from defeat, make sure to check their history from 2020 so you can also enjoy their takes on what Republicans should learn from Trump's heavy loss in that election.

@eosfuturedesign So not such a mystery why people might choose to leave an apparently prosperous country after all.

@ryano Because they can’t rent affordably or buy affordable house in Ireland to become independent adults. Also professionals esp. medical, have to compete with Asian&African immigrants for decent jobs. Australia gives them affordable rents and better paying jobs.

I presume Indian immigration is legal but why the huge numbers being accepted? And why are Indians leaving their peaceful, increasingly prosperous homeland?
