In this crazy world it’s worth remembering that there are no winners in a nuclear war.

Can I get my Irish friends to amplify this please?

Strong piece by @jenoconnell.bsky.social in today’s Irish Times

Dozens of Palestinians killed in latest Israeli attacks near food aid distribution site, medics and witnesses say Witnesses describe people shot in head and torso near sites run by Israeli-backed US organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

Why is it still getting EU grant money?

It really is! Sometimes we’re in the approach path for Dublin airport and, when the big American Boeings fly by the house at 4 and 5am at 3 or 4k feet it certainly pulls you out of any dream you’re having

If you're in a straight relationship and met your partner organically, in the wild, free range (not on the apps) in the last five years, how did you meet? Would like some Offline Meeting Stories to guard against being sucked back into the tentacles of Tinder Et Al.

If you must drive through floods, low gear, slow speed, keep distance from car in front and never drive through flowing water

It hasn’t stopped raining for 8 hours. Let’s be careful out there

Why isn’t Met Eireann on Bluesky?

To add some more context, Orville Wright piloted both of these aircraft.
