No doubt the EU will now impose sanctions against Israel for attacking peacekeepers from a member state…. As if #genocide wasn’t enough reason…. Won’t hold my breath waiting for appropriate action - judging by the inhumane and morally bankrupt response to date.

Seriously impressed with both #AislingThompson and #EllenKeane on #Uncharted on @rte.ie this evening. Absolutely inspiring and loving it as much as @kneecapceol.bsky.social last week. Fair play to them all and to #RayGoggins

Deeply concerning as media ownership continues to shift to the control of fewer and wealthier individuals. Press freedom and pluralism face ‘existential battle’ across EU, report finds:

Irish language cuts a 'failure' from NI and Irish governments Foras na Gaeilge says it has to make savings of more than €800,000 (£669,000), meaning funding cuts to some groups operating in NI.

Go huafasach. This is truly shocking, that support should be cut while demand grows #Gaeilge

How the roots of the ‘PayPal mafia’ extend to apartheid South Africa Elon Musk grew up with the privileges of a stratified racial order and Peter Thiel lived in a city that venerated Hitler

“The South Africa into which Musk was born in 1971, and to which Thiel moved as a child from Germany, was led by a prime minister, John Vorster, who had been a general in a fascist militia three decades earlier that allied itself with Hitler.”

All the talk of #Trump "buying" (or invading) #KalaallitNunaat is obscuring the voice of the Greenlandic people themselves & their drift towards independence from #Denmark.
In 2022, I interviewed Aaja Chemnitz of #Greenland's ruling party IA.
It's well worth (re)reading.

New online safety code in the crosshairs as Elon Musk’s X takes media regulator to the High Court Big tech fears more stringent rules being applied to their online platforms under a series of domestic and EU laws

No surprise that Musk is kicking back at efforts to better protect children: The new safety code means platforms such as X must comply or face fines of up to €20 million, or 10 per cent of a platform’s annual turnover, whichever is greater.
