Hi @mariafarrell.bsky.social, are you aware of this? FWIW, I plan to attend and submit a paper in advance.

Priest: "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Micheál Martin: "Let's not jump into a kneejerk response here, in terms of falling in love. There are many factors, elements even, to consider, in terms of commitment, loyalty, the willingness to share a life, in terms of marriage."

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes. Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

Hey it works

If even the most condescending organisation is taking a stand ...

In 37 years voting -- missing only 2 elections I was entitled to vote in during that time, due to being overseas -- I've never once voted for a Democrat or Republican. Given the narrow framing of the question, I guess, therefore, I did not to my part.

who called it deleting my account and not jerry nullification

The most effective political communicator the UK has seen in a generation. Is @zackpolanski.bsky.social the right person at the right time? TBC. But he has tapped into the need for hope and as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social likes to say, the need for a new song.

That is one mightily effective party political broadcast, and it really is not often I have ever been able to say that after a lifetime watching them.

They kinda need to work on that "stealth" thing. I can see it quite clearly in that picture.

Re-upping this as I see someone using the incorrect framing again.

There was a graph I saw once showing how much more is lost in wage theft than any other form of theft (or maybe than them all together). Can someone point me to it, please?

This was funny, and I severely judge Bluesky for not appreciating that.

Questions: what benefit is there for society from showing off the drugs and arms and other finds? What evidence is there for such a benefit? I've never seen it as anything other than showing off, and news organisations -- who should know better -- being complicit.

Following a tragic accident 3 years ago, Mr. Gore was declared brain-dead. Scientists and technologists were able to replace his brain with a computer; now his body is now controlled by an artificial intelligence. However, due to the general preference for sans-serif fonts, very few have noticed.

I would encourage anyone concerned to do the same as @eibhear.gibiris.org below. If your children are attending ETB managed schools, you could also contact [email protected] and the Child Protection section of the individual ETB. The Cork address is [email protected] #Speirgorm

1960s-1990s Northern Ireland. Modern-day Palestine. The world it quite familiar.

Trust me, it'll never be Ireland. We're already a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American Chamber of Commerce.

The massive majority in Ireland voting recently for Catherine Connolly as President supports your point I think.

Do you like maps? Have you an interest in suburban history? We are excited to share that for the first time, the atlases of Clontarf and Rathmines are now fully and freely available to download. Originally published by @ria.ie with @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social Read more: www.ria.ie/2026/01/09/i...

Left wing candidate's campaign supported by left wing political parties shocker!

Imagine an edifice built with alternating bricks of "deserving poor" and "undeserving poor" held together by cement made from "moral hazard".

"A great victory for farmers. A great victory for the Left" Two sentences I would never have expected to see together referring to the same thing, I admit.

I would bet any amount of money that the judge in this case would not object to me being referred to as "Éibhear Ó hAnluain" even though that's not the name on my birth cert. www.gibiris.org/eo-blog/post...

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, and post the second sentence: '"The idea that I might even play a minor part in practical politics," Nixon would insist years later, "never previously occurred to me."' 'The Arrogance of Power, the Secret World of Richard Nixon' by Anthony Summers.

This is a breaking-the-world news story.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, here's the non-sports sports round for a table quiz I devised some years ago. #speirgorm

The word "sorry" might be easy to say, but the sentiment is exceedingly uncommon.

There is absolutely no way now that our cowardly, mealy-mouthed excuses for political leadership will do anything to protect human rights if they *think* doing so would risk missing out on hosting this neoliberal lustfest.

Hi @micheal-martin.bsky.social, here's a suggestion.

Relevant actors planning for being targetting like the ICC.

Twitter undefeated in the brain worms arena

All Iain M Banks' Culture novels, one series per book.

"Earthly Powers" by Anthony Burgess.

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

"l no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

That's lovely! There's an old story that he and a bunch of his friends got kicked off a plane for exactly the reason you might imagine

Someone angrily posted on Nextdoor that a local restaurant posted anti-ICE signage and the post got shared to Reddit so the parking lot has been full and inside has been standing room only all day lol

As my wife went ahead of me with the children (5yo + 1yo) to board the 'plane, I struggled with all the bags, and dropped one of them onto the ground. The man behind me in the queue, former Kerry footballer Eoin Liston, picked it up and offered to carry it to the 'plane for me. 1/2

I can't shutdown or reboot my Android 'phone quickly anymore because Android has replaced the home-button long-press with Gemini. Not something I asked for, not something I can change.

Here's the caution I would urge: let's move our economy away from our dependency on FDI from US-based companies. I suspect the caution being urged in this paywalled article: to continue to let the U.S. and its companies use us as a toilet.

I saw an attempt live. I was on the vendor team, but had worked before with the gov. dept. CTO. I told the team lead that the CTO was well-informed, familiar with his estate and with the "state of the art", and that he'll call bullshit as soon as he hears it. The meeting ended after 15 minutes.

Thanks to all the Europeans who have learned from American media to blame the American Left no matter what the problem is, you guys rule

Sure we're a country with an abhorrent history of child abuse yet our own government is tiptoeing around calling out Elon's pedophile Xerox machine. We're so insecure as a country we're trying to justify literal CSAM in the name of the economy.

Our senior politicians need a chaperone for their visits to San Fran, someone who can point at stuff and go "that's not AI it's a search engine", "that's not a hologram it's a projector", "that's not a robot it's just a guy with a remote control"

You forgot to complete the headline: "... says Minister who is in over his head only in part because he can't stop digging that hole."
