1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Unless they are the child of an immigrant who did nothing except work hard for years. Then tough shit. Mama and Papa are gone kid.

The anti-trans side constantly used this exact and talking point about a 4000% increase in trans youth. Similarly, there was a change in diagnostic criteria along with increased access to care. It's the same exact playbook.

Great report by Channel 4 news this evening on the English far-right bigots pushing anti-migrant views. Views which have been sown by Tommy Ten Names & Nigel Farage to name just two. Online grifters is what they really are, but dangerous also of course. youtu.be/e_7AiFRZnsk?...

Little Reichstag Fires Everwhere (With my apologies to @pronounced-ing.bsky.social)

I'm qualified and practising in Irish immigration law for over a decade and I have NEVER seen as many absolutely batshit, not even arguably lawful decisions from the Minister for Justice as I am seeing now I fear our government has terminal social media brain

Also, the bag being clutched by Steen as she announced her presidential failure looks like a Hermès Kelly Pochette Bleu in Frida Swift leather with gold hardware, which I am reliably informed costs north of €20,000. But sure, you'll speak for the plain people of Ireland ... 🙄

Repost for Irish Film Classifications by Damien Owens, because it's just come up in FB memories and it's still *brilliant*.

On the same day it was revealed Elon Musk covered up for his father's sexual abuse of children, he goes on to spread the lie that trans people are sexual predators.

Finally Marcus de Brun has to answer some tough questions regarding his conduct during covid and afterwards. He's a 'hero' for the Irish far-right and anti-vaxxers of course. I hope he's struck off. www.thejournal.ie/doctor-profe...

BREAKING: Florida cop treated for autism after exposure to tylenol during traffic stop

So the Independent Iona TDs decided to support her. How surprising. Two things, journalists - the first is to ask her where the money funding her and the "institute" comes from. The second is to remember those who will soon (again) targeted by her extremism. Their safety is paramount.

Eh, I can personally attest to the fact that you can’t actually say “whatever the fuck your want” on RTE 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love how rightwingers keep saying you can’t recognize a Palestinian state because it doesn’t even have any agreed-upon borders. Erm, are they aware that Israel is one of the only countries in the world that refuses to define its own borders?

this is who democrats voted to honor. they are collaborators and i no longer have any use for them. idc

“Errol Musk has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993, a Times investigation found. Family members have appealed to Elon Musk for help.”

Look if Maria Steen doesn't run for the presidency then how are we going to have a frank discussion about all the people Jesus told us didn't deserve human rights

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

Dr. Oz is a large investor in and global advisor for iHerb, a company that sells supplements for folinic acid, which is the the non-prescription version of leucovorin, the medication which is being recommended for the treatment of autism by Dr. Oz.

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

So, they're going to blame women and Tylenol.

brilliant news from Italy

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

American surgeon and US military veteran says what she’s seeing volunteering in a hospital in Gaza is worse than anything she’s ever seen. She reports many children under the age of 12 have been shot in the head.

Guys when they say boycott Disney they especially mean Marvel. They especially mean Star Wars and Hulu and all your faves. Come on now.

We may be the wee county but we will kill your Áras run dead in the fucking road. Look out 💀 UP DUNDALK ✊🏼

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu: "I have a clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian state… It's not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River. For years I have prevented the creation of that…”

As with Trump’s threats on Canada, Greenland & Panama, Farage’s goal (after being informed by the DUP) will end up being this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_.... Historically, control of Ireland was always Britain’s top priority.

Israel killed four US citizens—three of them children—in a strike in Lebanon www.cnn.com/2025/09/21/m...

Wikipedia and the Internet Archive are the last two fragments left of the internet that we were promised in the 1990s.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

This guy is more than just a contrarian. He's a danger to many different minority groups in Ireland. He's now pedalling some "lite" eugenics in defending Healy-Rae's comments on using vitamins to "prevent" autism. His only qualification in anything is knowing how to use Excel. Such expertise.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

When fascists say they want to talk to you, they don't actually want to talk to you - they want to talk to your audience. He flattered your ego to try to talk to your public, and you fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

It no longer even registers as news that the president behaves this way, but if a child acted like this you would punish him.

Brazil now joins Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Turkiye and others who have signed on to the case.

Explains ⬆️ in Russian aggression: “Pentagon officials sat down with a group of European diplomats in late August and delivered a stern message: The U.S. planned to cut off some security assistance to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, all NATO members bordering Russia.” www.reuters.com/world/europe...

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

Unsurprising the bigoted fleggers will infest Dublin yet again on the 4th October. Where they will launch their 'spoil your vote' campaign. They will encourage people to spoil their vote in the upcoming presidential election, simply because there's no fully bigoted candidate they can vote for 🙄

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.
