I’m gonna be honest. I really wish people would stop bringing screenshots of dumb Twitter posts over here. The whole reason so many people here left that place is to NOT have to read the stuff. We know it’s dumb. We know it’s rage bait. We don’t need to see it here.
Absolutely brutal listening to the South Kerry CAMHS whistleblower on @drivetime.bsky.social right now. Once again, official Ireland treats truthtellers as scapegoats. Those responsible in the HSE should be sacked #speirgorm
where's Ian Hacking when you need him
for those of you who don't know, Daniel Loftus has done a huge amount of work identifying inmates of the mother and baby homes system on census and other records. Find him on Tiktok. If I were King, he'd be top of the honour list #speirgorm
*james acaster voice* what's the matter guys, too challenging for you?
interesting. you can imagine the family dynamic. wonder is there any research on patterns of mother tongue transfers per se
already experts in loving themselves apprently
Ben Affleck is AI'ing him into it as we speak
Survived an earthquake which hit the hotel we were staying in on our honeymoon
ah if the father didn't speak it then it is unlikely the son would take it up. You might get the mother's maiden bame from birth or marriage records
Have you found their progenitors in 1911?
Searching for ancestors is surprisingly emotional 🥲 #1926Census #Archives
vindication for Daniel Loftus. Massive respect to him #speirgorm #1926census
I remember that year on Twitter
as I bite my nails off waiting for #1926census to go live, I must say I've had the privilege of working in the National Archives many times and the staff there are the nicest, kindest and most helpful bunch you could imagine. If you ever have a mystery to solve, don't hesitate to enquire #speirgorm
how come we didn't see you in the club last night?
how come I didn't see you counting down the minutes to #1926census going online?
mmm I don't know about that. Science can be argued up and down the road by the 'do your own research' guys but calling someone a weirdo sticks. Purely in a political campaign message sense obvs
I'd say that negotiation would collapse on the Palantir/Oracle issue
giving a 5 ⭐️ review to every service worker on minimum wage is praxis
this thing with Mandelson in the UK reminds me very much of the 'who knew what' about the campaign to smear Sgt Maurice McCabe back in 2017. And then totally unrelatedly, AG Maire Whelan was appointed to the Court of Appeal - ie Robbins will emerge with a cushy number soon
#speirgorm
I presume they are keeping him in cold storage for tomorrow
lads, you aren't going to believe this - there are two people on @rteradio1.bsky.social right now talking about the early history of the Irish Free State and neither of them are Diarmuid Ferriter #speirgorm
was a big fan of Schitt's Creek so was looking forward to Dan Levy's new thing but unfortunately he is playing the least convincing character in BIG MISTAKES
and striking to see some of them realise that they still have some political capital, if they are brave enough to spend it wisely
Cancel Reply Forbidden Jay Bluesky is made with Al, the engineers and even some non-engineers use Claude code Can you ask them to stop?
Asking the forbidden question
The utter gall of this jackeen. 'I regret not repaying my tenant and the stress that caused them. I regret not being honest with the Irish people, and indeed all the FF party members who backed me and went out canvassing for me and wasting their time. I regret becoming an absolute embarrassment...'
are we at 'danger here' yet?
Childers and it's not even close
the fact that JO'C has only a few months cabinet experience was never more clear #speirgorm
