Loved this...I know a good few of the Galway heads in the video too. If you liked this, there is a spoken word album of Michael D's poetry set to @mylesoreilly.bsky.social's music coming out on September 5th I believe. youtu.be/Wy0zi7dzhsY?...

If you’re rioting or even just protesting because a foreigner has been accused of rape, but you never rioted or protested when a white Irish bloke was accused of rape, you are not a defender of women and are - quite literally - just a racist

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

I wrote this on arts funding, and the queasy feeling that it'll be Irish artists who end up paying for yet another government procurement scandal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

A 'disappointingly low' 1% of Ireland is natural, native forest Only Iceland has less Trees than #Ireland This may soon be reduced to virtually zero as major campaign launched to cut down remaining native Trees using more powerful storms as an excuse www.thejournal.ie/ireland-tree...

Jim Ghedi’s new single, Sheaf & Feld, is out now...drenched in dystopian post-folk with synths, electric guitars, heavy drums, and a remarkable falsetto. It’s a giant of a song…totally blown away by the energy of it all. klofmag.com/2025/01/jim-...

Honestly surprised people are freaking out over Facebook. I left it because it became a far right hellsite like 5 years before Twitter did. It's been that way for a very long time.

Maybe it’s time for council to sell its derelict cottages in Chapelizod, a councillor says. Seven of the Mulberry Cottages are on the derelict sites register, and there’s been little progress towards bringing them back into use. dublininquirer.com/2...

"Israel’s push to normalise the mass killing of journalists threatens not just Palestinian media workers. If such behaviour in war zones is normalised, then no journalist, no matter what passport they carry, would be safe." — #AJOpinion by Daoud Kuttab ⤵️

Being mad about corporate greed doesn’t mean you’re an extremist terrorist. It means you have a brain.

For those that need their minds purged of the overabundance of commercial music this time of year, KLOF No. 37 (Winter Mixtape) counters with pagan vibes, electro-folk fusion and improvised sounds that briefly dabble with the festive and then throw you a left hook. klofmag.com/2024/12/klof...

Have a happy and peaceful Christmas, Bluesky folks . May all your Santa visits be 1980s inspired when he was at the absolute peak of his Santa powers .

What's your favourite weird, fascinating, one-trick website? Along the lines of YouAreListening.To, Forgotify or (perennial favourite of mine) earth.nullschool.net - sites that feel good to click around on and bring you back to simply having good time on computer?

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
