Excellent myth busting @brigidagrith.bsky.social !

From the bottom of the image to the top there is a moving stream of thousands of Palestinians heading north. To the left is the sea and sand. The road is packed, 20-wide and people are seen as far as the eye can sea to the horizon. Photo credit to Omar Al-Qattaa for AFP via Getty Images

A river of the displaced walking north towards Gaza City after crossing the Netzarim corridor from the southern Gaza Strip.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians returning to see if anything is left of their homes.

A Zionist lecturing me about shame and hatred is ironic.

Genocidal maniac.

Clearly the EBU learned nothing from last year

Allowing genocidal war criminals to take part brings it far beyond disrepute, overshadows the entire contest, and the Zionist delegation causes stress and harm to the other delegations

Everyone involved in allowing this should be ashamed of themselves

I mean let’s be real, both of the games are overstimulating.

I’d argue that Rivals has more going on on screen, maybe only by a small bit, but to imply that it’s calmer than OW is silly IMO.

I like the idea of a somewhat curated playlist rather than just hitting shuffle on my 5,000 song library, and one that kinda changes without you having to give input, kinda like radio but without the ads… and with only songs I like

Buuuuut he’s gotten so repetitive lately it’s tiring

He called Alice Chater an LGBTQ icon so he’s not all bad

If SF were going in with FF and demanding “parity of esteem” despite having ten fewer TD’s, FG would be slating them and calling them power mad

“Wonder if he feels robbed?”

Bounce him out on a trampoline

Glen Moore, who got slapped around by the kids in St. Aidans in Dublin West has amassed a whopping 3% of the vote. Back under your rock, lad...

🚨Minister of state Ossian Smyth confirms US interference with Occupied Bill – and why Fine Gael blocked it🚨

‘The Occupied Territories Bill was blocked by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil because the Democratic Party in America asked them to block it.’

This is brilliant. Part of the spine of Dublin's cycle network is complete.

Expect reductions in traffic, air pollution, heart disease, road violence, diabetes and better wellbeing!

Great work by @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social @nationaltransportauthority -and fair play to residents and traders.

I give my 1 to candidate A, and my 2 to candidate B

A gets in on the first count.
Am I correct in saying that if my vote for A happened to be one of the votes within the quota, it’s then set aside for good

If it’s in A’s surplus, they then move on to my 2, but only if it happens to be picked up?

Bollards and ‘superblocks’: how Europe’s cities are turning on the car In Paris, Barcelona and Brussels, authorities are adopting varied approaches to the task of reducing congestion and pollution

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.”

Leadership. #Paris

Well we can ask… who knows if they’ll be answered 😉😂

Yeah I’d imagine it’s more difficult in rural areas. I suppose they’d be aiming to catch people at the shops and that

I got the same leaflets as you so, but I even got one from one of the far right weirdos. Wouldn’t even light a candle with it 😂

Fair, but my area is newly added to DBN, and my estate is new and mainly full of thirty somethings, so I think thats A why I’m seeing so many canvassers, and B why you’d think it wouldn’t be wise to come before 5pm IMO!

Not that FG are getting a vote from me anyway, but I did want to give them a piece of my mind about the OTB, XL bully ban, and delays to bus connects, among other things.

They must have forgot that some of us get up early in the morning 😏

Show of hands who’s had a candidate/party at their door? #ge24

I had a nice chat with Cian O’Callahan of @socialdemocrats.bsky.social on Sunday, and canvassers for David Healy of @greenpartyie.bsky.social on Saturday.

Fine Gael knocked at 3pm on a Friday while I was in work 🙄
