It's not just Americans. I've been waiting for him to die for years from the other side of the Atlantic.
Thank you for that uncomfortable mental image
i blame the NCIS industrial complex for people thinking you can enhance an image by feeding it to a computer and saying "computer, enhance"
August is almost over. Here are a few of my favourites captures from this month: The Andromeda Galaxy, Waxing Gibbous Moon, Jupiter and Venus, Sun and sunspots. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour
A combination of two alien invasive species, sika deer and rhododendron, are killing this beautiful native forest in Lauragh, Kerry. The trees can't regenerate due to the overgrazing, and as they age and die, only the proliferating rhodo remains. Invasives are a *top* driver of global nature loss.
Benedict Arnold at the Department of State.
Germany so panicked at the perception of being seen as antisemitic will punch a peaceful protestor in the face. Of images that sum up the country’s position on Israel Gaza it will be forever referenced in history
I feel like CMAT has really tapped into something here and it explains why FFG don’t really want to solve the housing crisis - the more recession children who emigrate, the better their chances of constant re-election
The Indo using quotation marks in this headline when there's a video showing exactly that happening is journalistic malpractice btw
That's so disappointing. The reason I don't think that's a body double is that Trump would insist that any doubles look like a taller, more muscular version of Brad Pitt. He sees himself the way Ben Garrison sees him. So he lives...for now. The day is but a pup🤞
If she gets a nomination, she won't come last. She's much better on the spot than the other Iona Institute types, she is the only one who looks like she's having fun. She could sell the hard right line as aspirational more than the others. So I'd be concerned. Because she's bad news.
If he's gone (hope springs eternal), the factional in-fighting will be so stupid it makes The Death of Stalin look like a po-faced Oscar-fishing period drama. Behold! President Vance!

Irish people waking up this morning reading Twitter and Bluesky rumours be like….. #speirgorm youtu.be/fLjHDMBqDEQ?...
There's no way Loomer wouldn't take the opportunity for some grunty corpse-humping.
Melania isn't sound, lads. Don't kid yourselves. Her dislike of her husband has little if anything to do with politics.
We're doing our best
Imeacht gan teacht air agus eascaine na n-aingeal ar a anam Amen
I see you're a graduate of the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. School of Medicine
Wouldn't it be great if Trump died and Meta got sued for billions all on the same weekend?
I hadn't seen the rumours when I wrote that. Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please 🤞
Hopefully today is the day he dies.
Mine is whetted. #floodfortheáras
As if the place wasn't mad enough
A disgraceful response from the Berlin Police. Basically "she had it coming" www.independent.ie/irish-news/i...
Call me crazy but I don’t love the idea of them controlling ways to escape.
I'm both puzzled and relieved that Loomer and Stephen Miller aren't an item because they seem to share exactly the same mind
she said that “black” with a hard r
And wouldn't he have to be impeached first? In Trump's House? And convicted in the Heritage Foundation's Senate?
I'm sure the American legal system will get right back to you on that just as soon as they run it past Miller, Bondi, and Trump.
These guys really can't wait for Trump and Miller's Endlosung to get into full swing, so with their camp soon to close, they're trying to get ahead of the game. It's the same thing that happened when the OG Nazis knew the end was coming for their camps in Poland and Germany in 1945.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
As an Irishman of a certain vintage this was a bit confusing
This fliú/COVID season is going to be carnage in that Amerikay.
I think this is Tom Cruise's best performance because it's the one where he didn't have to act
Tall Hoggle is really on a mission to kill as many people and wreck as many lives and teeth as he possibly can
I trust him more than his boss, but that's like saying I trust mega-cancer more than multidimensional hyper-AIDS. (Both of which would be more likely to have effective therapeutics if Bobby and Cankle Joffrey were eaten by sharks.)
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
I've always liked Hasan, but my respect for him has increased immensely recently, both because of his self control during his recent sit-down with a roomful of fascists who explicitly wished him harm, and now his incredible restraint in not yelling expletives of every sort at this lying Nazi polyp.
Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"
If you DON'T want this to eventually happen to offices in London, or Berlin, Paris, Rome, Warsaw, Vilnius or any other European capital, then demand that your Government increases the economic cost on Russia to MAXIMUM, now. Unless Russia is defeated in Ukraine, war is coming to us directly.
That fucking country I swear to god
God help America. I cannot think of any advanced country that has ever engaged in this level of self-sabotage. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
America's autolobitomization will be studied for centuries to come. At a time when we have access to more information than the rest of human history combined, they chose stupidity and literally fatal ignorance. It's an incredible testament to the power of propaganda.
To say nothing of the deaths that will be attributable to Bobby Kennedy, who is well on track to become one of history's greatest killers.
Musk will eventually be responsible for cumulatively millions of preventable deaths. Trump already is, these will simply be added to his tally.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Definitely not his own!
This is totally unfair. It's also on Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell.
Relax everyone. No need to worry. The same far right that spends its days trying to burn down buildings ‘to protect Irish women’ would never vote a rapist into the presidency.
It's a barbaric society.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
I know a bass player who'd small talk for a minute tops, then switch to "so, you want to fuck?" If the answer was "no", he'd instantly move on. He claimed the success rate was enough to keep doing it. (I used to live in Magaluf. We were the things that happened on holiday and stayed on holiday.)
What an image (J. Scott Applewhite, AP)

Normally when a sentence begins with "a deal with the Taliban" you think that's bad, that must be the bad part of the sentence. But Starmer always starmers it.
But instantly gospel to anyone without the capacity for thinking.
He apparently hasn't died yet, the fucker. I'm bitterly disappointed.
"Look like..." Cork has chosen backwater status. The councillor class (a few families with a long-standing agreement to not rock the boat) relies on public apathy and proactive nimbyism to keep the city in low-power mode, while the landowners (also a few families) thrive on profitable dereliction.
Oh look, Einsatzgruppen These teams will be made up exclusively of the terrorists who attacked the US Capitol in January 2021. Are we still pretending the USA isn't an authoritarian dictatorship?
Howya gettin' on biy? Errah...
I really hope he dies today. I could do with a midweek pick-me-up.
There's no "reportedly" about it! Trump's minions made a public spectacle of going to Greenland to try to win over the people there and were promptly greeted with repeated "go fuck yourselves and the shitty horses you rode in on". Luckily for Greenland, President Caligula seems to no longer care.
"World's stupidest human confident he can solve world's most intractable problem, read all about it!" I know one problem I hope will be solved by the end of the year. 🍊☠️⚰️🎉🎊🍾🎇
Imagine being on your deathbed and hearing a nurse tell her colleague that the Walmart is completely sold out of champagne, lube, and fireworks.
The bent-back occlusion dance was my go-to in Henry's back in the day.
It must be hard to tell what Hegseth is actually thinking, what with all the slurring and falling over and soiling himself and raping people.
Far too advanced in concept and scope for that confederacy of dunces.
Behold, the competitive stupidity of Trump's Reichsregierung
He better hope he never falls out of favour. I hear the Florida concentration camp will have a lot of space soon.
some day it will happen, as it happens to all of us, and people will be dancing in the streets
I've always got two days off in reserve in anticipation of the big day: one for celebrating, one for the hangover. Ideally it'll happen on a Wednesday night so I can really lean into the weekend. This Wednesday, in fact, would be perfect.
We're at the stage of nightmarish fascism where John Roberts and his right wing colleagues allowed Ed "Big Balls" Coristine -- a kid with ties to criminal hackers -- live access to all Americans' social security data. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
Fact check: No. But, thanks to the servile fart-catchers of the former Republican Party, the burbling lead-poisoned racist electorate, and the meek, quiescent "leadership" of the Democratic Party, it's hard to say he's wrong. The courts occasionally remain the last bulwark, but not often.
This is the second day in a row he’s said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.
a....camera?
Cinema game: strong
I've had to go back in time to find undiscovered riches. Right now I'm in 2019. Prepare for headbutt questions when I catch up to you!
Dr Headbutt is definitely in the Top 5 Badass Handles on Bluesky. 🙌 (Ologies is my commute go-to. I'll be listening to an episode on my way home in about an hour, and I think it's going to have to be the one about bovine collisions.)
Exactly. This has Stephen Miller's stanky little vindictive, vicious, profoundly racist, microscopically petty fingerprints all over it. When (if?) the dust settles after all this, Santa Monica Goebbels must become a cautionary tale for anyone who ever tries to follow in his fascist footsteps.
“To bomb one hospital, Mr Netanyahu, may be regarded as a misfortune; to bomb the same hospital again twenty minutes later to wipe out even more medics and journalists looks like a war crime” - Oscar Wilde, UN prosecutor.
Ehhhh...
Starmer's cops have jurisdiction in the US? I might not be the person who needs to look stuff up.
The housing portfolio seems to function for the government as the priesthood used to serve for families: an ideal place to put the idiot son that comes with an aura of undeserved prestige. It's not as if we have the equivalent of the entire population of Leixlip looking for a gaff or anything.
I think the landlord who takes HAP lives somewhere in Westmeath, but he might have moved or changed his mind.
The headline is purely inaccurate and so so dangerous. Those without status don't and have never qualified for HAP. Being assessed as unable to meet habitual residency condition (seemingly the core issue here) is not the same as being undocumented, or as the Mirror calls it, "illegal"
Burke vouches for Hare.
Jeffries is a leader the same way a My Little Pony is a horse.
It's not a very sympathetic portrayal of the Nazis, and the Trumpist Party takes that sort of thing very personally.
In which country?
Always worry when people share photos of their kids publicly online on non-private platforms, due to both safety concerns and them being far, far too young to truly consent, but with AI and deepfakes now a reality... It's never worth the risk, or the lack of control they have over their own privacy.
They wanted to talk to an expert.
It's a bot.
I'm getting really hopeful he's a gonner sometime soon
Just for one day - ONE DAY - it'd be nice if the English realised properly, like deep deep down, that the Republic of Ireland is a separate country and their empire is dead. Just fucking dead as dead can be. Let it rot, lads. Just let that fetid corpse stay there and stop digging it up.
