It seems to me that the media might have led with some of this material instead of just going with 'amazing young ceo is taking time out of his life to run for Irish president'.

I am intrigued by the places thar say he is a multimillionaire vs . those that have him as a millionaire only.

It's useful to remember that the Troubles in the North of Ireland started when the police and Army were used to suppress & arrest peaceful, Gandhi-quoting protestors.

Nice to see a familiar graph replicated in this @data.ft.com deep-dive on data centres and how they're powered.

Ireland: Jesus on push bike. Sounds terrifying. ‘Tis only cows or thon yokes that can ruin your day here, so it is.

Not just one, a triptych.

THE PRESIDENT OF IRELAND.

The international community would do well to pay attention to Uactaran na hÉireann. We are a people qualified to lecture others on genocidal famine and deliberately imposed mass starvation.

Radio is so personal isn't it. I loved the listener who texted that she had lost a friend who she listened to as she cooked. That 7pm slot was such a lovely part of my evening.

The parting glass has destroyed me. What a loss for all of us, he kept us educated on arts around the country. Codladh samh.

How sad. Such an effortless arts broadcaster; he could flick from discussing a Joyce festival to the latest MCU film to poems in translation, bringing everyone along and without changing gear.

#RIP

Deepest sympathies to his family, friends & colleagues. He was a wonderful broadcaster and will be sadly missed.

The Janey Godley Memorial Project rolls on.

With limited stock now replenished, we’re preparing around 60,000 meals daily—less than half our previous output. Every plate is reaching the most vulnerable, including displaced families and patients in hospitals. Read more: wck.org/news/gaza-update-7-25 #ChefsForGaza (3/3

The IDF know airdrops are worse than ineffective and cause rioting (which feeds their dehumanisation narrative and gives them an excuse to open fire). Western leaders desperate to wash their hands of their complicity because it's causing them domestic problems are being expertly played for fools.

Why supporting indie Irish bookshops matters in the age of Amazon The message was stark but indisputable. "Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon.ie, both online and in the high street," said Kenny's bookshop on Instagram.

We don’t just keep saying this because it affects us and we love working in a bookshop, living, breathing, talking, lugging books -

Whenever public opinion and international pressure becomes unignorable, offer a token concession that will diffuse momentum and act as a fig leaf, while maintaining the mass death and expulsion. It’s a playbook.

This is a small but real victory.
But starving people can't eat statehood. France needs to suspend trade & diplomatic relations w/Israel until they open the crossings, end the siege blockade, and return control of aid distribution to UNWRA.

Brainstorming t-shirt ideas with @lokapila.bsky.social. Was thinking something positive like, "Who lives here belongs here.' Lo suggests: "Yes, I'm vetted, and I vetted your Ma too."

Ok people, I am looking to crowdsource some social media platform knowledge.

Who, in Ireland or other EU country has seen an age verification demand, and on what platform.

About fucking time and just another 400,000 to go

“ 'I’ve been searching for something to feed my children but there is nothing.'
Daily 🆘 messages are coming in from our starving UNRWA colleagues, every day.

Food is available only a few kilometers away.

Inaction is complicity and makes us lose our humanity."

This. I cannot accept that this horror is happening in front of the worlds eyes and no govt is stepping in to stop it. I can never forgive or forget this lack of leadership.

The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza.

Among them are 1 million children.

Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

Mass starvation and deliberately inflicting hunger are an unspeakably cruel policy. What Israel is doing is grotesque. This reporting from Haaretz is important yet heartbreaking.

Google's AI explanation of Hon Tipp (Which actually means go on or come on Tipperary). "Hon" is an abbreviation for "Honourable," and "tipp" likely refers to a "tip" or "suggestion." Therefore, "hon tipp" could be interpreted as a polite or honorable suggestion. It might also be a playful way of asking for advice or a good idea.

The future is here 🙃
