Irelan asks for "no additional heating approach" to farming. IE if emissions don’t increase, they can be "climate neutral"

Try that with anything else. Ecuador can have no crime problem if homicide numbers stay stable. Ukrain can be at peace if bombing rate stays the same.

"How could we possibly know that we'd have floods?!"

I don't know, maybe all the previous floods and all the campaigns for flood defences and all the people worried about climate change and how it will lead to more severe weather events like the floods we already had might have given you a hint?

Micheál: "We can't do everything you know"

The population "Ok well can you do one thing?"

See this is the kind of stuff that you, an upstanding citizen, really has to watch out for.

I think everyone should read the 1944 Simple Sabotage Field Manual, so they know what to look out for.

Subject: London talk the title of my talk October 25 in London, audience "500, 35 pounds paid attendance each "An Evening on Evolutionary Biology: An overview covering Feminism, Transgender, Homosexuality and Honor Killings." $3000 for me (i will already be in London paid for by Imperial College) and an almost certain corporate $3000 add on just as you outlined-this will create an immediate internet wave especially in the UK with coverage in all the major newspapers and so on anyway i will concentrate on it, to the exclusion of individual pieces at the moment all best

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

Remember, when transphobes accuse trans people as a community, of heinous shit, it's because that's what they're doing themselves and they can't or don't want to own up for it. It's called psychological projection/DARVO

don't talk to me or my itty bitty gf ever again

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

John Sweeney: Blaming Met Éireann for floods is a distraction. Who rezoned the floodplains? It is now over 20 years since I led the project to give the first scenario-based projections of Ireland’s future climate. We warned Ireland’s winters would become significantly wetter

Thank God we're not polarised today folks. I know floods are bad, but polarisation would be very uncomfortable. #spéirgorm

Why Spain is offering amnesty to 500,000 undocumented migrants As countries on both sides of the Atlantic ramp up deportations of undocumented migrants, Spain’s left-wing government is preparing to give legal status to hundreds of thousands of irregular workers.…

Spain's government is among the few in Europe now providing a clear alternative to the far right - pro migration, pro climate action and not apologising for it

in plainest possible explanation:

Epstein help seed the online community that launched conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory by sharing true stories of his associates to disrupt and destabilize geopolitics.

and if we explain it like this, they'll look at us like we're the nuts.

As of 2023, nearly 80% of the water used for Google’s U.S. data centers came from drinking water sources communities rely on 😳

Big Tech’s profits can’t come before our basic needs. We need to stop ALL new data centers until we have more regulations!

A portion of the print copy of the Onion. On it are two stories. One is U.S. Reaches Trade Deal With Pedotopia. The other is J.K Rowling Escapes Insane Asylum.

The print edition of The Onion is gold.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

A new month begins tomorrow and so spins our Rent-O-Meter! Besides the €2k we need to pay rent by Feb 11th we also have €1500+ in bills to pay and €1000 in 2025 debt left!

A dozen new graphic novel subscriptions would go a long way to solving our money problems!

8 tenners down, 18 more to go!!

These are SO COOL !!! Planting native plants is the most punk thing anyone can do rn, I adore this!

They're trying to blame Met Éireann for doing their job rather than blame their own failures or acknowledge that we will have to make sacrifices and real changes to mitigate the effects of climate change

We need to get real. Met Éireann is not to blame for flooding damage - poor planning, building on flood plains, not implementing over 20 years of remedial action are. We were warned decades ago winter rain would increase, but continued doing nothing and built on space needed for water #spéirghorm

Help 90-Year-Old Kamela Survive in Gaza My name is Kristel, and I am from Granada (Spain). I met Kholoud through social media when she asked me for help to open this donation campaign. From the very beginning, we started talking frequently,...

Kholoud and Kamela are two kind souls who have faced immeasurable hardship over the last few weeks. Their rent is due in 3 days and they're €187 short. Chuffed donations take 3 days to arrive, at a 70% exchange rate. Can we get 26 more tenners raised for her today pls? 🥺

Chatbots considered for providing legal counselling to people seeking asylum, documents suggest The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission doesn’t believe chatbots are suitable “in provision of legal counselling”, a spokesperson said.

I analysed the DoJ’s immigration chatbot for @iccl.bsky.social and the amount of seriously wrong information it gave was shocking even to me. The idea that people fleeing persecution would be expected to rely on a chatbot in lieu of actual legal advice is 😱😱😱

Abandoning the triple lock would be the final nail in the coffin for Ireland’s neutrality - Social Democrats The abolition of the triple lock would be the final nail in the coffin for Ireland’s neutrality as we know it, according to Social Democrats defence spokesperson Sinéad Gibney. Deputy Gibney made her ...

Govt continues to mislead the public on why it wants to dismantle the triple lock – a central tenet of Irish foreign policy for decades.

But make no mistake – ending the triple lock will be the final nail in the coffin for Irish neutrality as we know it.

How Silicon Valley built AI: Buying, scanning and destroying millions of books Court filings reveal how AI companies raced to obtain more books to feed chatbots, including by buying, scanning and disposing of millions of titles.

New: Unsealed court docs detail Big Tech’s yearslong, secret race to ingest the collective works of humanity, including Anthropic’s project to “destructively scan all the books in the world.”

hi hi! just a heads up that Harlequins (Harmonia axyridis) aren't classified as ladybirds around GBIE because of their high impact as an invasive species! Your colourwork and shading are absolutely beautiful though and i love your attention to detail ❤️
