// History Repeats Itself as British Authorities Get to Decide Who the Terrorists Are // bit.ly/43GKpwg

A member of Kneecap has been charged with a terrorism offence, but those in power continue to look away from the deeper crisis, writes Toner Quinn.

Not only has @irishtimes.com decided to publish this piece softballing the war crime state of Isr€&l, but they’ve even put it in the Music section. Shameful decision to print this. What are they thinking? Jesus wept.

We had a strong message at RTÉ yesterday, boycott apartheid Israel until freedom, justice and equality for Palestine. #BDS #FreePalestine

Why @theguardian.com ? Even in Photos of the Day, you chose duplicitous language. Twice the use of the word “reported” when referring to Israeli air strikes but notably not used when referring to Russia.

Sometimes I really question my subscription…..

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Protect Palestinian reporters and end media complicity in genocide: A call to all journalists and media workers We, the undersigned, demand the protection of Palestinian journalists. We must work creatively to combat the shadowbanning, censorship, and targeting of voices that speak for Palestine here at home wh...

Journalists across newsrooms must demand a change to their internal policies and confront that they are complicit in genocide by centering Israeli and IOF narratives. You do a discredit to your profession.

I urge media workers to read and sign this letter.

Antony Loewenstein: "Palestinians need friends, need allies, need support, & if that's not going to come, as it clearly is not, from the US, the EU, and a lot of Arab states, where is it going to come from? Civil society needs to massively pressure govts to take action"

I wrote a thing about McGregor, Garron Noone and why we need to talk about where this nonsense is coming from.

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids.

The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids.

"Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel.

Sigh.

BREAKING: At least 3 people have been killed today in Rafah and eastern Khan Younis by drone strikes and snipers as Israeli attacks continue across Gaza. Yesterday, Israeli forces shot and killed 6 people.

a nice side effect of No Other Land winning an oscar is that the worst people on earth are incredibly mad about it.

Séamas O'Reilly: Arts funding rows hurt artists who struggle to break even "...it is hard to avoid the sense that the Government’s newfound notions of austerity will skip right past the men in suits and pass directly to the artists who rely on government funding to pursue th...

I wrote this on arts funding, and the queasy feeling that it'll be Irish artists who end up paying for yet another government procurement scandal.

The cat is handsome.

After a day of writing a funding application that has less than a 20% chance of success, I’m genuinely starting to think severance is the way to go for independent artists.
Your “arty” does all the existential artistic identity crisis shit and your outie thinks they have a cool normal job

Palestinian *hostages*
Israeli hostages.

Most Palestinians are detained without charge, without trial. Including children. They are hostages to a cruel imperialist regime.

Red = lowest ecological integrity.

Ireland has the great honour of being probably *the* most ecologically trashed nation in all Europe. 🏆 🏆 🏆

The child’s father has a job in the govt of Gaza, like thousands of others used to have. The genocide defenders are getting so desperate that the truth is getting mainstream. R Berg will be smashing up the BBC HQ though…

Three absolute bangers from Elon Musk. I'm so sorry but you asked for ALT text. How many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two, but how did they get in there?? -- Me: How many radical leftists does it take to screw in a light bulb? Radical leftists: That's not funny [frowny face] Me: [Crylaugh emoji] -- When I see the troll emoji, it's like looking in the mirror

If anything, I think Musk's harrowingly shit sense of humour is under-discussed. The Florence Foster Jenkins of it all. The deeply unfunny freak who bought the joke factory and juiced its algorithm so he could subject all its users to... this. The gas leak comedy of a psychedelically humourless man.

Spoke to someone in the legal profession y’day who said that McD has written articles in the Sindo full of lies about refugees/migration. He’s a dangerous man. He’ll court the anti-migrant vote.

I loved the first episode of S2. Maith sibh go léir. The Irish Monopoly game…… 😂😂🤪🤪

When buskers start actually cordoning off public space like this, something has gone seriously wrong with the craft of busking. They have no right to take over public space. This comes from someone who used to busk a lot as a teenager.
@dublincitycouncil.bsky.social need to do something about this

Yes! Buskers doing stadium gigs on Grafton St, decibel limits be damned. And the wee acoustic ones are forced into the lanes most of the time. I only give money to the acoustic buskers- that’s real busking.
