Putting the focus on people's behaviour aka Patrick O Donovan statement, instead of X itself as the problem is the same argument that its not gun laws that are the problem but people!
Got to see The Handsome Family recently in Vancouver. They are very funny & very talented. Never heard of them before then. Am a big fan now @johncreedon.bsky.social
The shifting of blame for the inevitable failure of a profit driven model of care of older people onto the shoulders of low paid carers is a classic move by successive governments @rteone.rte.ie
Forget Greenland, Ireland is the European island the U.S. already owns.
And when it comes to Big Tech, Dublin is Trump’s Trojan horse.
High time for a centralised EU agency to police all European tech laws, including the GDPR, DMA, DSA.

We're probably not talking enough about how Mark Zuckerberg - one of the world's richest men - and his company Meta just stole the work of thousands of writers because it would have been too expensive to pay them.
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
This week Uplift came to Feakle in Co Clare to plant our fourth People Powered forest 🌳

What a way to spend #StPatricksDay walking around old growth forests on Vancouver Island
Nearly as interesting as my chat with Paul the Hawk
Is it bad to be drinking whisky in bed on St Patrick's Eve? Oh wait, I'm 9 hours behind Irish time. I'm grand so. ☘️
Thoroughly enjoyed my chat with Paul the Hawk at Raptors on Vancouver Island. Lots of poop talk
With this hatchet job on our government so swift and so thorough, we're heading from autocracy toward totalitarianism.
The anger at Trumps regime is growing here in Canada. Flags everywhere, boycotting US products expected. But also great to see leaders seeking new opportunities - huge recruitment drives of US healthcare staff, pivoting to green industries/job creation, plus #defiance
It's official, I'm away with the 🐦 Meet Paul the halk! #Rapture #VancouverIsland
Good to see some media finally fact checking the government's false claims about a Security Council veto.

The media, having fully thrown their lot in with the latter, are making believe it's not happening.
