Anyone else finding Bluesky a bit creepy? More unsolicited dms than I ever had in the cesspit!

@columeastwood I’m a nurse that believes everyone has the right to a peaceful, pain free dignified death. We need to properly support & grow our palliative care services and pass the assisted dying bill. The two are not mutually exclusive & we needs our reps to push for both

Simon Harris’s advisors

Micheál Martin wears very well cut suits and is a whisker less slimy (but only a whisker) than Simon Harris. More as we have it. #GE24

New Ireland Commission document: A green background with a picture of government buildings at the bottom. Text reads: PLEDGING A NEW FUTURE TOGETHER An assessment of election manifestos and their commitments to advancing the case for Irish Unity in the Irish General Election.

Today we published an assessment of manifesto pledges on #IrishUnity made ahead of next week’s general #election.

The Commission wrote to leaders earlier this month asking them to make a clear commitment to unity as an objective of government.

RIP Ken Reid a man of great political nouse and a fantastic journalist. So young. Sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues

That caused a few laughs here too!

Thanks for recommending- great thread, very evocative. They really were the worst of times

Great thread. I too was fairly lucky but still, we all suffered the trauma to some degree. So much in this I remember too. I went to school on Falls- soldiers around the school, home times delayed. Our “normal” really wasn’t.

Brilliant! Thanks so much!

Ooh I was thinking of using an app this year- what one do you use?

Sherlock and Dorcha say an Irish hello! 👋

Done

Very difficult watch, brings back awful times. Felt pretty authentic. I thought the “young” characters were better. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for all those directly affected to watch, if they even could. So so sad.

🤣

Plus ça change!

#GE25 #RTEUpfront not a word unity from Mary Lou in her closing. Looking forward to reading SF manifesto- anyone know when it’s being published?

There’s a quare stretch to that apple money! #RTEupfront #GE24

🇪🇺 Securing European Parliament Representation for the North has been something I’ve campaigned on long before I was elected. With the help of Ciaran White and Frank Costello we secured Belfast City Council support. Today the SDLP will bring that campaign to the NI Assembly.

Ah both lovely news and sad news. I hope you have it easier this time - congratulations!

Fabulous! Very interested in adding a battery to our system - but we are 3 phase so not sure it would be possible
