Mike McGrath-Bryan
A scribbling, squabbling, strácáiling eejit, that got blown along the N20 and out to Cork City, Ireland. Foghlaimeoir, bleeding-heart, AuDHDer. Opinions my own. Check linktr.ee/mike_mcgb for latest scut-acting.
- Government, Barry Heneghan and Gillian O'Toole vote down PBP Bill to give workers a right to recognition of their trade union. More info on bill www.pbp.ie/time-to-stan... & www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
- "Judge me by my actions" indeed.
- Is it too real for ya?
- Capitalism is no longer a matter of demand and supply; it is an endless, mindless copying and pasting of things no-one asked for into places no-one wants them. #ireland #spéirghorm
- Rebranding myself in Q3 of this year to become The Everything Man - offering everything from quick and easy receipt of payments, to a wide variety of bespoke conjectures, speculations, ruminations, and the like. #spéirghorm #ireland

- There are levels of pisstivity, and you have to make your way through each, raising your peetans throughout
- Why should politicians be expected to answer to a gang of propagandists - especially ones who are being chaperoned in by their pet TDs expressly to pollute the press pool and further the illusion of mass support for their horseshit?
- Absolutely affronted by the comparison between the poor, misfortunate and unloved Sega Saturn, and the modern British Labour party. I know which one I'd go to great lengths to emulate!
- Diuretics.
- No más
- Perhaps the British Empire shouldn't have colonised half the world; tried to completely erase its languages and culture; exploited it for all the resources it could take; brutally ostracised, imprisoned and slaughtered anyone that objected; then inflict neoliberal economics on the world, hmm?

- So, Wolf Alice are playing small venues in Ireland next week! #spéirghorm #ireland #music @wolfalicefans.bsky.social wolfalice.os.fan/live-in-irel...
- I can't stop thinking about all the ways they tried to break Jeremy Corbyn, smear him, monster him... all for the crimes of taking socialism and its values seriously. And for what? For this? For this man? The knives left vertical in decent people's backs?
- Oh wrestling is fake? Then explain this
- I want someone to send this clip to Jim Cornette just to see if this will be the one to completely send him over the edge.
- Like he can talk. Boo Bradley; Prince Kharis, the Mummy; The Gangsters, hard 'r'. The man is a liability at best, and at worst, a grifter.
- A right-wing party will not long entertain anyone that dissuades the money-marks. The Dems are visibly and discernably paralyzed, as are the former social democratic tendencies in general. That never stopped those tendencies from striking left, rather than fixing their own issues.
- The greatest - and only - sport in the world.

- That's right.
- Gript and the Liberal are not news. The people "working" for them are the content wing of the Irish "reactionary" tendency. They are not journalists. They do not have press accreditation, they not abide by any sort of agreed ethics, and they do not represent anyone beyond themselves.

- The dates are "ongoing", and the facts are still apparent today - especially if you've lived here. There is nothing "progressive" about protecting abusers, monopolising education or continuing to oppose social and economic advances on the word of a 2000yr-old morals reader.
- Also, on that note, the Catholic Church in Ireland, one of the state's largest landowners, refuses to shelter the homeless in churches or build social/affordable housing with its banks of land and billions of euro. Why?

- What's "progressive" about Leo's opposition to LGBTQIA+ rights? He represents more of the same - a church that is more about power and its maintenance than social and economic justice.

- "Far-right activist wants the taxpayer to take on a stash of internet funny-money that's completely unregulated and unsecured in the event of rugpulls or devaluations" isn't a flex, buddy

- "Boss" being a term of endearment for many Irish people, apologies for not clarifying. I respect peoples' personal religious choices; but I don't see how we can refer to the institution of the Church as progressive, after everything that's happened here, and is still happening.

- Anytime in the last century, boss. Even now, the Church still won't pay their overdue restitution for abuses; they won't relinquish their grip on our education and healthcare systems; and trad-Cath activists are a driving force behind Ireland's fascist movements.

- Speaking from an Irish perspective, I can assure you that there was *nothing* "progressive" about the Catholic church's seizure and brutal abuses of power. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholi...

- Oh, I remember it. Was my fave of the Comedy Night menagerie
- WWE just heaping more evidence on top of the MAGA Wrestling Federation allegations. As though Saudi Arabia, merging with Dana White's operation, Hulk Hogan and so many other things weren't ginormous, blood-red flags.
- It's amazing to me that WWE can cut almist all of the openly queer women on the roster, all of the full time female coaches at the Performance Center, and all of the women in creative while having so many people act like it's not the exact same company it's always been with the same company culture.

- The same reason countless women aren't played on Irish radio: terminally risk-averse suits and their endless, endless parade of excuses for not creating a medium that reflects the people.
- Gript isn't a real press outlet, in any event - run by John McGuirk, with a "partnership" with the former Cambridge Analytica. The Press Council of Ireland has serious questions to answer regarding their membership. Fair play, Paul, don't let the bastards grind you down.

- Let away scot-free with social murder, at my generation's expense - with the enthusiastic help of Fianna Fáil, the Greens, Fine Gael and Labour. Move your banking to your local Credit Union, as much as practicable. #spéirghorm #ireland
- Limrockers! Protect Downbeat Records at all costs.
- Why are Labour talking about housing, after two of their moves upon helping Fine Gael into office in 2011 were to both quietly nix the building of council houses *and* begin subsidising private landlords with HAP? At least FF pretended to be contrite for austerity for a bit. #Spéirghorm #ireland
- I am a co-signatory to the IPSC's cultural boycott of Israel in the current circumstances. Our nation and people have known the pain and generational trauma of colonialism - it's our duty to hold firm in our solidarity. Saoirse don Phalaistín. 🇵🇸 #spéirghorm #ireland www.ipsc.ie/cultural-boy...
- Eleven years old. Finished the main story of Crash Bandicoot 2. Wept as there was no more of this incredible experience to enjoy. Until I realised I hadn't 100%-ed it. Every nook and cranny of those levels explored, hidden warps and alternate paths.
- There’s never been a better time to join the Green Party. While others talk the talk, we walk the walk — on climate action, social justice, and a fairer future for all. Help us work to win back seats at every level of Government. Join us today: greenparty.ie/take-action
- Not after austerity, lads.
- Therapy? - Crooked Timber. Irish rock hallions reckon with ageing, mortality, capitalism, alienation and a mind beside itself; a clatter of heavy grooves and heavier thematics that's a perfect 10 between my ears. #spéirghorm #ireland #music music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- Quelle fucking surprise.
- A 2023 scheme to help Ukrainians in Ireland without transport links has been described by a TD as having spent €1.6 million to buy eight cars—or €200,000 a car. This figure is false: more than five times the actual amount paid for those vehicles. jrnl.ie/6693140b
