Will #Budget26 impact on race for #Áras25?

Why, yes, yes it will.

And not in a good way for the government candidate.

So was training AI the actual reason for alt-text at BlueSky? I have no objection to alt-text as a means to help people with disabilities use online media. But BlueSky's tiny alt-text entry box is not easy for people with vision impairments to use. Helping people never seemed to be the point of it.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Am only catching up now on the animal cruelty story about FG candidate for President, Heather Humphreys.

She sent a letter to the Dept of Agriculture, about a live legal case regarding ‘stomach churning’ animal cruelty, on behalf of the farmer involved. The case was then dropped.

IMHO the entire point of his continuing litigation is to inflict pain and suffering. It’s a drop in the bucket for him financially and as he doesn’t have a good name to protect any more (did he ever?) there’s no down side for him.

I dont think
we are even remotely aware of how awful that would be and sincerely hope we can gather up and give the six counties a refuge in this, our republic.

It's late BBQ season on Irish media...

The aroma? @fiannafailparty.bsky.social

Please repost far and wide

Irish Healthcare Workers for Palestine is calling for a workplace Stand Out for Gaza:

📅 Thursday 16th October 2025
🕐 during lunch (or other break)
📍 outside your workplace

Wherever you work, any sector any job, talk to your colleagues about a Stand Out for Gaza.

Absolutely fuming at this Derelict Property Tax move in #Budget25 - any change like this will take years to bed in, meanwhile any efforts to collect the legacy Derelict Site Levy will be abandoned while councils wait for new legislation.

A gigantic win for property speculators. Smells like FFG.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

News that shocks no one: Carbon offsets do nothing for climate.

YEAH! 👍 Renewables ☀️ 💨 💦 overtake coal globally for 1st time on record, per records from 88 countries representing 93% of demand globally

Let’s just walk over the screaming naysayers & push on, leaving them in a squabbling mess in the corner

We’ll just step up harder

Woooohoooo... FF *knew* before #Gavin "selected" there was a skeleton.

I don't understand your comment: are you saying Hamäs atrocities are the same as Israeli army atrocities?

What’s the betting he comes second?

But, hey, it’s ok to have Israel play football and sing with us….

Palestinian journalists in Gaza are being targeted by drones - risking their lives to show the world the truth of what’s happening there.

DPC pretending “inference” isn’t a thing.
Comical naïveté or deliberate ignorance?

After 8 years of inaction, the DPC now claims that RTB adtech does not provide location data to dodgy firms.
Wrong.
Meet "Patternz" for example:
An Israeli surveillance tool built on RTB data that provides a targeted individual's coordinates and "driving path" www.iccl.ie/wp-content/u...

Also, avoid the BezosBus.

#JimGavin could still win presidency and serve for an undefined period after #MDH steps down.

Cunning electoral ploy, a masterstroke of strategic 4 dimensional political chess on display.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

“They dragged Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others.”

Bastards.

When Somali pirates attacked vessels with British crewmembers on board, UK literally sent a task force.

Bruised face.

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that a candidate that has decleared their withdrawal from a presidential race could in-fact be elected nonetheless. #Áras25
