Can we take a moment for this absolute icon too! ❤️ #Speirgorm

This is a superb podcast, bookmarked Andrew's article for later too.

The purpose of this kind of "liberalism" is to hold open the door for fascism.

If you think there's no connection between the recent public statements on immigration by Harris, Martin, O'Callaghan et al and these attacks, then I have some magic beans you might be interested in. This is the predictable, inevitable, shameful result of their adoption of far-right rhetoric.

Svenskt Näringslivs vice VD skriver att väljarna bli förlorare om skolaktiebolagen förbjuds. Eftersom hennes man (fd KD-politiker) äger en skolkoncern med omsättning på ca 550 miljoner är det nog snarare hon själv som skulle förlora på en sådan förändring. timbro.se/smedjan/nar-...

In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms. What is this 'good' it supposedly does?

Go raibh maith agat, Michael D. It’s been a privilege to have marched with, chatted with, campaigned with and for Michael D Higgins - a President of whom we’ve been proud. Something that’s little spoken of now was how difficult it was to get Michael D on the ballot for the Presidency. (🧵)

imagine how much harder the post would have hit if Elon knew who Joyce Carol Oates was

What a special moment this was for @sanctuaryrunner.bsky.social Over a hundred sanctuary runners gathered to wish President Higgins and Sabina a fond farewell. We were so honoured to have him as a patron. #SpeirGorm

Thank you Michael D. Higgins. #speirgorm

A felon whose sentence President Trump commuted in the final hours of his first term was sentenced to 27 months in prison on Monday after being accused of a range of criminal conduct — including physical and sexual assault — since Trump freed him. nyti.ms/3LSL8nC

For reference. I might print this out and hang it in my house:

If there isn't a #ThankYouMichaelD hashtag, then there should be. Thanks for 14 years of the kind of leadership the rest of the world is crying out for. #speirgorm

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

this is literally never not accurate

Can borrow to buy lashings of pew-pews we don't have the personal to operate or maintain. Can't borrow to house the thousands of people officially homeless. Clearly the welfare of the people of Ireland is not paramount.

There is no "ceasefire". There never was a "ceasefire".

The pick-me to end all pick-mes.

Bhí an-bhrón orm nuair a léigh mé an scéal seo - sílim gurbh é Michael D an t-uachtarán a raibh an tionchar is mó aige orm, agus tá grá agus meas mór agam dó. Bhí mé bródúil as gurbh é ár n-uachtarán é. Go n-eirí an bóthar libh, Miggeldy agus Sabina!

I mars 1939 hölls ett kårmöte i Lund, där en majoritet av de närvarande studenterna stödde en resolution om att 10 judiska läkare inte skulle tillåtas att invandra till och bosätta sig i Sverige. Idag sitter läkarstudenter i Lund och skämtar rasistiskt om en torterad kvinna med utländsk bakgrund.

Läkarstudenter skulle kommentera ett fiktivt fall med en utlandsfödd kvinna som hade utsatts för tortyr. Bland svaren de gav skrevs tex "köp en biljett hem" och uppmuntran att samarbeta med ”Återvandringsverket”. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/rasi...

Words cannot express how much I love Benjamin's feed.

Lest we sublet ...

That's the kind of media training politicians pay big money for!

I think what's most revealing, as Stephanie points out here, is that Yates simply does not understand the concept of a conflict of interest, let alone the scale of his in this case. He doesn't think he has done anything wrong.

Ah would you stop

Demokraterna svepte alla val för nån vecka sedan och had är Republikanerna och Trump mot väggen med nedstängningen, Trump blev utbuad av en hel fotbollsstadium- då valde ”mittendemokrater” att vika sig och ge Republikanerna och Trump allt utan nåt i utbyte. Mittenpolitiker är fan meningslösa.

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.

Dagens påminnelse: de vanligaste yrkena för kvinnor är undersköterska o lärare, de vanligaste yrkena för män är programmerare, jobba på lager o säljare Det är … väldigt olika saker att exponeras för 40 h/v

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

If you’ve a Pat’s or any Irish football fan in your life who hasn’t read it, my book is the only one ever written on St Patrick’s Athletic. The rise of the Saints from the humblest of beginnings is one of Irish sport’s great tales. historystpats.myshopify.com/products/sai...

Att folk är kvar och använder platformen regelbundet säger en hel del om vad de står för.

The Irish language is in an all-time underfunding crisis, with Gaeltacht housing ever more unaffordable and record secondary school exemptions. Rather than lowering our expectations, we need to fight for Irish and for everyone’s chance to access it m.independent.ie/opinion/naoi...

My favourite part of the North Dublin Coastline at Bremore. Hundreds of finches, larks, and Tree Sparrow today, as well as Curlew, Common Scoter and Red-Throated Diver. And a reminder that Johnny Ronan’s company is in pre-planning stage to concrete this over and turn it into a Port!!

Though mostly now storing his #vinyl out of sight, retired RTÉ Sport presenter Michael Lyster, @patomahony1.bsky.social 's final #ForTheRecord series 3 guest, is still a big #recordcollection fan. All's revealed tonight at 6pm here on Gold. #radio #music #CDs #albums #records #singles

När DN begärde ut offentliga handlingar av Regeringskansliet kom de, utskrivna på papper, efter 30-46 dagar. När fiktive ”Simon” gjorde motsvarande levererades de, digitalt, efter två. www.dn.se/ledare/peter...

Orla posts beautiful pics almost every day from Greenland, does the soul good to see them. Would love to visit there some day.

Have they tried banning him?

Wag the dog ...

A great weekend for football, as it's about 360 days until the next time we have to put up with the festival of virtue-signalling that is the poppy nonsense in Britain.

This reminds me that I have been blocked on Twitter by a government department, the Department of Social Protection, for more than 5 years & have no idea why!

On year long maternity leave pay from a good job - my income is now below minimum wage - we can get by fine but everything is much more planned, prepped and your world much smaller, these people have no idea how much the conveniences, cars & holidays in their lives cost & how much *time* money buys

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different. shutting the fuck up is free.

Europas ledare väljer fascismen för att alternativet är ett systemskifte där de själva sitter löst. De har i princip eldat upp nästa generations framtid för att skydda det status quo som bär upp dem, och kan de inte få oss att skylla på invandrare kan vi ju få för oss att gå efter de skyldiga.
