As talk is abound that oil may hit 150 a barrel I would like to extend my very good wishes to everyone in Ireland who continues to gurn about wind and solar farms.

Enjoy the millstone you have placed around everyone's collective neck.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Well done to fascist America for Operation Epic Fuckup, which is having precisely the result everyone expected.

Hope all those children you guys blew up were worth it.

It's so firms from the USA can go in afterwards and rebuild it whilst charging the Iranian people for the privilege.

Americans' ongoing delusion that laws mean anything to the Trumpist regime is going to be fodder for case studies for generations.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

He's absolutely going to try to do a Venezuela in Cuba.

Aiming to be someone's Irish Summer Girlfriend (only shows up for about three days in August, colder than expected, accompanied by large swarms of insects)

Absolutely delusional to believe that this White House understands any such thing, or that Hair Hitler has any intention of relinquishing power, elections or lame duckness or not. Trump creates his own and their reality. That's all that matters to them.

Yesterday, he said his father was born in the UK.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

This is chilling, but it's not surprising to anyone who remembers when Falwell and The Gipper realised that revival-flavoured fundamentalist American Christian ethnonationalism was the easiest, most insidious way to manipulate the Good Ole Boys. The Yeehawdi fanatics are running the show now.

The ESB right now:

It's only wrong from our perspective. From their perspective, it's all going swimmingly. Soon, we'll look back on just 17,000 homeless as the good old days, and they'll spend another few decades telling us it can't be fixed overnight.

"It's all good, trust us bro!"

He's just pissed he isn't making money out of it yet.

*SO* thrilled yesterday to see the first screening of An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, the film about my 17-year journey rewilding a West Cork farm.

It went far and away beyond my hopes: a mesmerisingly lovely, immersive piece of work, almost dreamlike in parts, but grounded in ecology and daily life.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Because it's this or Epstein, and if the US is at war it's easier for him to subjugate the midterms and ensure the Democrats aren't in a position to hold him or his friends to account for raping and trafficking kids (not that I have any faith in Schumer or Jeffries to do that even if the Dems win).

FIFA must be so embarrassed...

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Have they tried not allowing harmful stuff on their platform?

This is a chance for the team to show their values in action and stand with the people of Palestine.

Irish Independent: Man stole three coffee machines in a week from Monaghan department store.

How does he sleep at night?

‘It’s a slap in the face’ – Irish households are paying twice as much for electricity as data centres Households in Ireland are paying almost twice as much for their electricity as data centres.

Did you know that homes pay twice as much for electricity as data centers do? It's good that that government are helping out the poor scrappy start ups like Amazon and Google 🥹

That's why Darragh O'Brien not only faced no consequences after deliberately underspending the housing budget when he was Minister for Landlords, but was subsequently appointed Minister for Other Things We Say Are Important But Don't Actually Want to Get Done (and he's doing the same in that role).

FFG are the epitome of "won't somebody think of the landlords??!" and always have been, because they're the government of, by, and for the landlords and always have been. They have a vested interest in keeping housing inaccessible, and if that means 17,000, 20,000, or 50,000 homeless, so be it.
