A photograph of Suleiman al-Obeid, former captain of the Pakestinian national football team, killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food.

I admire Mo Salah's restraint.

"Farewell". Really?

Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

Mo Salah is asking the right questions

Marc Maron is absolutely right here

GHF-run food distributions in Gaza are sites of orchestrated killing | MSF MSF calls for the immediate dismantling of the GHF scheme; the restoration of the UN-coordinated aid delivery mechanism; and calls on governments to suspend all financial and political support for the GHF.

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”

The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.

Microsoft's largest data centre in Ireland, which includes their Azure services, is currently situated in Grange Castle Business Park on the Nangor Road in Dublin.

Today is the Hiroshima atomic bombing's 80th anniversary.
Conventional bombing has progressed since then. Humanity has not.

🚨28th August is the 1st day back at school, and the 1st day of indefinite strike action by school secretaries & caretakers.

The Dept of Public Expenditure can avoid this by doing the right thing.

Secretaries and caretakers deserve public service pensions. And everyone knows it.

I like how he believes it will be both "useless, out of date in 10 or 15 years’ time" but also "within 15 to 25 years, I think... people will not be allowed to drive anything".

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

This is one of the weirdest looking ways I've seen someone fuck this up.

Episode 3314: Tá An Cathaoirleach Marbh - Second Captains

In September 1976 a 25 man squad of UCD freshers football players (and a few second year bangers) went on tour to the People’s Republic of China – they were the first west-European sports team to play in Communist China.

class solidarity is beautiful

Sure, the Dublin and Monaghan bombings were bad, but have you considered that a 200 quid escooter zipping past my €70,000 Range Rover while I sit in permanent traffic is also a form of terrorism?

Éirígí #ForANewRepublic will be holding a picket in Galway on the 16th of August to demand that the Dublin government keep their hands off Irish neutrality! #DefendIrishNeutrality

Hahaha

The scrutiny process drew hundreds of public submissions and featured evidence from a broad range of stakeholders. While government members disagreed with the concerns raised, the committee as a whole, including both government and opposition representatives acknowledged the central importance of neutrality to Irish people. “There is no ambiguity about this,” said Deputy Conway-Walsh. “It is the will of the Irish public to see our neutrality protected. The government must respect that and act accordingly.”

Nice to actually see a positive result from an email I've sent.
