Kneecap to ‘fight again’ as appeal against decision to end terror case announced The rap trio said the case is politically driven, and that the Crown Prosecution Service has submitted nothing new in its appeal

“Once again there are endless news reports about…Kneecap…driven by British politicians backed up by the media…we are NOT the story…there is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.”

On this day in 1985 we released the single Bring On The Dancing Horses. Happy 40th Birthday 🎠 🐰

we live in the dumbest timeline

Are there multiple casts? No actual stage equipment?

This website would genuinely be so much better if there was a special Discover tab for Americans that only show them posts by other Americans so the rest of us stop getting aggro from their most brain fried centrists who seem genuinely bewildered by context and angry that other places exist

The order of the shows seems…inefficient. Greenock to Ely‽

Is the holodeck episode on #StarTrekSNW a dig at the fascist enabling executives at Paramount?

Australian citizens have the right to return to Australia. Calling them 'Isis brides' does not change the law. They are Australian.

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

The replies to this post are a beautiful study in American Exceptionalism.

NO SEPPOS IN THE THREAD!!

Screenshot of a Daily Mail article with the headline "Why are so many adverts now more interested in diversity than in the reality of British life?". At the top of the article are two images of black people featuring in advertisements.

Yes, the Daily Mail really did publish a whole article today complaining about black people appearing in adverts...

Today's Daily Mail advertisers include Lloyds Bank, Lidl, Imagine Cruising and ROL Cruises

Oh ffs

I saved this from Tumblr just yesterday bc I needed it.

I also have minimal respect for a former Minister for Arts, Heritage and the GAELTACHT who didn't work on fluency while in office but is now promised to learn Irish if elected President.

Nice try Heather.

The email I just received from ebay Ireland would make your head spin...but like (almost) every diaspora Palestinian, I'm in 35 groups that organize protests, raise funds, lobby for evacuations, etc. etc. so I don't have time to fight this. But you should boycott ebay Ireland for sure
