Unbelievable article with totally misleading headline.

Head of BBC News says she gave Farage more airtime than he was entitled to. She was pro-Reform.

Journalists in the newsroom opposed giving him extra unwarranted exposure.

This is described as being anti-Reform.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

Analysis of crash data shows that you're 17 times more likely to die in a vehicle fire if you buy Elon Musk's Tesla Cyber truck than if you had bought a Ford Pinto, the 1970s era car infamous for gas tank explosions in rear end collisions.

We didn't bastardise the English language into "ye", "yiz", "youse" and "yousins" to have Irish people unconnected to the US or other places it's used in saying "y'all", unless you're referring to the town in Cork we've PERFECTLY ADEQUATE second person plural pronouns at HOME

so I've become a little bit obsessed with this tiny camera lately. if I were to do a bulk order of them and then provide a bundle with a tested and working camera, microSD, and some other bits for €30 a go (incl. free EU shipping, +€5 RoW) would anyone be interested

Peter Griffin "you cant use that word! Only we can use that word"

Northern Irish people, when they see British politicians discovering the word "sectarianism"

What’s wrong with texting? The Stephen Collins cartoon A voice from above …

Matt Goodwin's name is false advertising.

Good thing there's never been any sectarianism in UK politics. (The ghost of Ian Paisley chuckles.)

Melissa Barrera taking a photo in a mirror. She’s wearing a hoodie that says Actions Not Words in the shape and colour of a watermelon, which are also the colours of Palestine.

It’s a beautiful day to remember to boycott SCREAM 7, whose studio fired the franchise‘s lead actress for speaking out against genocide well before it was “acceptable”

total disaster, holy shit

complete control of most of the media in the hands of the fucking ellisons

How would you respond to people who accuse you of being part of a corrupt, predatory cabal of elites? I didn’t choose to be born into the royal family.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Former Prince Andrew https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-former-prince-andrew/

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).

My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

The idea that this is the first racist and far right MP in parliament is ridiculous. All of Reform, most of the Tories, large sections of Labour and plenty of Ulster MPs are racist and far right.

The launch of every piece of AI-driven surveillance/security/criminal justice software basically goes like this:

AI COMPANY: this is an error free, bias free, state of the art, highly intelligent software system

Two Weeks Later: …aaaand it’s racist

I think an underrated factor of the techbro AI boom is that they hate their life’s day to day work, it makes them miserable, and so they assume everyone else must hate theirs too. They do not understand why we don’t also want the liberation they crave.

Israel does not give AF, censorship or not, RTÉ. People have been yelling FREE PALESTINE for years, and Palestinians are still living in a horrific world. Your censorship protects no one except those complicit in genocide.

A huge reason for a lot of the housing and social problems that we have in Ireland in 2026: when the banking crash happened in 2008, there was this narrative that people in negative equity were the biggest victims of all.

Getting house prices back up was seen as "fixing the economy".

...and judged about the route they are taking.

Best post ever made

Friends and colleagues in Irish academia! The wonderful Dr Mary McGill has asked me to circulate her @researchireland.ie - funded survey on Exploring experiences of gender-based online abuse among female academics in Ireland - please do share! forms.office.com/pages/respon...

omg, it is that road!
It is a weirdly liminal-space road, to be fair.
Doesn't have a bus route, though.

...that looks **really** like a road I know in Dublin...

Ah now. Can't tar all of us Munster fans with the same brush. ;)
