I'm hoping she dedicates her win to the brave fighters of the Mujahideen

PSA : If you're a journalist looking at the racist riots at citiwest wondering how they happened while you're writing a story focusing on the miniscule "spoiled votes" rather than the overwhelming majority votes - take a look in the mirror 👍

Should be a slam dunk, DCC code of conduct violation too, reported for whatever that's worth www.garda.ie/en/reportaha...

Encourage everyone to do this.

Ooh la la, wonderful tea!

It's hard to see opposition to fox hunting, the orange order & refusing to learn Irish despite it being your job as sectarian.

If Keir starmer really wants to prove he’s not antisemitic he’ll riot with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Anything less he may as well be Hamas.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Three Irish citizens among activists detained as Israeli forces seize flotilla ships, organisers say The Global Sumud Flotilla is now just 45km from Gaza, but over a dozen Israeli warships are approaching.

Everything I know about Enoch Burke, Conor McGregor, Maria Steen (and countless others)... I know against my will. They are constantly driving the national narrative.
So much of our media is dominated by a format of asking "Does this dipshit have a point?. We'll discuss for 3 weeks".

You can hate Kneecap as much as you want but you have to admit they are really good at running laps around people getting angry at them

I've no idea how much new cars cost, but I imagine if a male candidate insisted on being photographed with 2 2015 Toyota Corollas he owns, it might be commented on

‘He Gave Me Confidence’: How Charlie Kirk Connected With Young Men With his right-wing group Turning Point USA, Mr. Kirk engaged controversial topics. Some students were inspired. Others found his views appalling.

As a Christian, he did not always feel he could say what he actually thought about the issue.

“It’s kind of scary to say what you believe in, especially in this cancel culture,” said Porter LaFeber, a 22-year-old studying sciences at Utah Valley University who was at an event on Wednesday where Mr. Kirk was killed. “Charlie Kirk seemed like he just went totally above that. He kind of gave a voice to the people that were maybe a little bit scared.” “He gave me the confidence to be able to believe what I believe,” Mr. LaFeber added.

"Charlie Kirk gave me the courage to be more transphobic" is a wild thing to put in a both-sides hagiography

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

It’s not just about the death of journalists in Gaza. It’s about the death of journalism in the West. And each cowardly journalist drove a nail into that coffin.

I got a bit heated on today’s #EchoChamberPod, but I stand over every single word.

UK Guardian showing more sympathy for the speak and spell than it ever has for transgender people

Headline: BBC under pressure to pull Sally Rooney dramas over vow to fund Palestine Action

Headline: Tory minister Robert Jenrick pictured with former Nazi terror chief at far right protest.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

The UK Government seeks to criminalise an Irish citizen for spending her country's legal tender in said country, to support a cause that mirrors those of her predecessors.

And they're the supposed adults in the room? #spéirghorm #ireland

Starting to wonder if I missed the bit in the 2024 Labour manifesto where they committed to an all-out war against Irish artists.

It looks like the UK government just warned one of our most successful novelists that she will be arrested if she enters the UK. Ireland will be fine as long as we have Sally Rooneys to balance out the John Boynes.

Another metaphor would be Mica blocks, the result of government trusting capitalists to carry out their own safety checks with a shrugging "what's the worst that could happen?"

It's very telling that the far left refuses to support huge pieces of shit who everyone hates

John Boyne has been forced to decide whether he wants the ego validation that comes from siding with the anti-trans brigade, or the ego validation that comes with award nominations. And he chose both.

Screenshot of the first two questions in the survey - there's only six to answer. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland #Art

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
