you (stupid, killing the planet) - "I used AI to see what I look like as a doll!"

infuriating thing about Northern Ireland "political commentators" is they told all of us "ceasefire babies" how impractical and unworkable it is to refuse to engage with psychopaths and sectarians

10 years later they are doing the same, lamenting that we all aren't as smart as them.

No, Deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly does not have "concerns" over it, she's in the DUP and a dickhead.

These people are all hateful, spiteful bastards. Stop treating them as worthy of civil debate and discussion.

Fuck the DUP, their voters, and anyone thick enough to oppose a LANGUAGE.

As always, remember that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to oppose the preservation and promotion of the Irish language that isn't rooted in sectarianism.

Not a single one. They just hate you, and they laugh when people fall for their "concerns."

All signs in NI should be bilingual.

go AI, fucking die

stupid cokehead rapist when he realises that becoming president of ireland means he'll have to actually spend time with his family and take an interest in irish culture

Bit weird how pushback against ill-informed or biased views is seen as more of an issue than aggressively right-wing agitators feeling vindicated and emboldened. Bit strange that so many people seem more comfortable with creeping fascism than with being asked to be decent about vulnerable groups.

do I have any pilot mutuals that are hoping to become a part of history

I nuke my twitter and within 48 hours Brennans Bread are HAMAS. I love this stupid island so much

editing videos has me looking like a reaction youtuber learning about British colonialism for the first time

"the black and tans 😦"

Genuinely at a loss over what GN means when he says the Irish government doesn't let people speak out about their "concerns"

The far right were let terrorise people working in libraries or living in DP and nothing was done to contain th until they were committing arson

before I watch every episode of Yellowjackets I stand in the mirror for an hour repeating over and over again that shauna has never and can never do anything wrong

Conor McGregor: Rape crisis charity complaint over Trump visit The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre says McGregor's meeting with Donald Trump

Sexual violence was "normalised" long before the rapist McGregor turned up.
Any politician who has shaken Trumps hand took part in the "normalisation".
He's a self-confessed sexual predator and adjudicated rapist, yet people have sat with him 1/

marvellous stuff on freecycle

We're supposed to be outraged that an Israeli War Criminal was hounded out of a restaurant in Dublin.

Another several hundred dead Palestinians, courtesy of Israeli benevolence.

No fate is too cruel for Zionists.

Still setting up, following all I can.
Most know me from my instagram (also @tanistry) , but I on occasion write more longform stuff on substack.

Expect from me Irish history, antique coins, books, a ginger beard, etc

A Twitter thread. Amazon Help replies to a (not visible) tweet saying "Autumn Nations Cup coverage is available to Prime Video customers based in UK only. Prime Video doesn't support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy connections. Are you using either of these?" Chris Jones says "No." Amazon Help says "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories."

The thread continues. Chris Jones says "Northern Ireland is part of the UK." Amazon Help says "Many apologies, but we don't have the broadcast rights for Ireland or other territories." Another twitter user says "Northern Ireland *IS* the UK, "UK" is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (This tweet does not reflect my opinions on the matter of a united island of Ireland)" Amazon Help replies "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team."

Amazon Help replies to a different tweet, and leads with "Hi there! We apologize for the troubles."

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter

Going to try collect as many Irish cigarette cards as I can.

If they brought these back they'd nearly make me start smoking again.

Broken record here but this book by Kevin Learns is tremendous.

It's also a little bit heartbreaking; an eruption of colour and passion and optimism in an era generally associated with hopeless, dire, endless misery of the Church's rigid social order.

first mr whippy 2025. things will be okay

It's a sign of the times that callousness is now dressed up as intellectualism. That empathy is framed as being as morally problematic as prejudice. That bigotry and hatred is just honesty. That solidarity is treason.

Always happy to inform my friends when they are curious about the world 💝

decades before the French revolution, the concept of a Yank was rapidly forming.

Here's a coin from Ireland in 1766, before the woke mob across the pond declared independence from the Brits.

recent coin find, 1st French Republic (mid revolution) but very specifically 1798; as this coin was minted and carried in the pockets of Parisians, the United Irishmen took up arms to declare an Irish Republic.

Of course, my ancestors fought to kill off both revolutions. But ah. Here. Sure look.
