We’re going to need a bigger printer! Shane & Rory just broke all my sales records—can’t keep up! #RyderCup2025 #ShaneLowry #RoryMcIlroy #RyderCup

Couldn’t resist drawing Rory McIlroy after that Ryder Cup win — pity the abuse overshadows the golf. As always, a reshare or follow goes a long way, I don’t get much else out of doing these!🥰 #rydercupeurope #RoryMcIlroy #RyderCup

@RpsAgainstTrump Looking in from outside, it is so sad to see what is happening in the USA. Just when it seems it isn’t going to get any more toxic and bizarre 😕

Jim Jordan: Ghislaine Maxwell confirmed what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell. (Maxwell also claimed there was no list and that she never saw Epstein abusing girls)

White tailed eagles officially now classed as being successfully reintroduced to Ireland. 150 established birds now in the country. Amazing news! . Here’s female B released in 2020 on Lough Derg.

41% of the racing greyhounds born in 2021 still on the island of lreland, are dead/unaccounted for. The oldest of those dogs would be 4.5! Nothing has changed since the Preferred Results Report's findings were exposed in 2019. Meanwhile, public funding has increased year on year!

I first flew in 1986. On that flight i was dropped injuring myself & my wheelchair was broken. The last time I flew I was dropped, breaking my leg & my wheelchair was broken too. I decided to stop flying at that point, shrinking my world & career. #RightsOnFlights
