This is one of the funniest pieces of live radio you’ll ever hear. And the animation adds an extra layer. #Radio #GerryAnderson

Keir Starmer was quick to condemn Kneecap, but strangely silent on Moygashel. @UnaMullally⁩ hits the nail on the head. irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

pmokane's tweet card. There is something rotten about leveraging an expression of long-standing culture and tradition to deliver a contemporary declaration of racist hate

Excellent piece by @DevlinMartina Bonfire bigotry has been allowed to fan the flames of hatred for far too long independent.ie/opinion/martin…

pmokane's tweet card. Excuse me while I check the calendar. Yes, just as I thought: it’s 2025, not 1925. But every year, at the approach to the Twelfth of July, a time warp sets...

Fun fact: Ireland and South Korea have a very similar shape.

As we face into the #AllIreland football semi-finals this weekend for the love of God, can broadcasters please note - there is no tie in Tyrone. If you pronounce Tyrone with a tie, you’re mispronouncing it. It’s te-rone, not tie-rone. Here endeth the lesson. #GAA #Tyrone

This is v poor from the BBC. Bonfires may have been by some to welcome and guide William, but not on 11 July. William landed at Carrickfergus on June 14 & he and his troops were at the Boyne on June 29, 2 days before the battle on July 1. Using July 12 date, that’s July 10.

Bought this in Normandy last year and opened it this evening. Absolutely lovely as an aperitif. A Normandy cider aged in oak barrels for six months. calvados-dupont.com/en/cidre-reser…

Really poor journalism that none of the news pieces I read today about the funeral of Diogo #Jota and his brother Andre Silva mentioned the names of their parents. They were almost written out of the media coverage.

See Marty Morrissey thinks Dublin & Cork are the two big cities on our island. I think he’ll find it is Dublin and Belfast. #GAA #CorkDublin
