@soundworkscollectn.bsky.social Aloha! Looking forward to seeing Bluesky posts from you.

US medical cannabis patients with chronic pain agree cannabis is effective, long-term treatment—1 in 3 it helped eliminate use of prescription drugs. 56% saw “significant” reductions in pain. After using cannabis, 35% stopped all prescription pain medications. www.marijuanamoment.net/medical-mari...

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.....Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared...." ~ Anne Frank

My good friend, Father Bernie Flynn, RIP, used to tell me when I went to see him to complain about my life or the state of the world.... "Don't die until you've been shot". In this time of seemingly insane days I have to remember those words.

GUY WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM DOING THE JABBA'S PALACE COMEDY FESTIVAL: You know, I gotta say they're really great in there, they're just like us. I thought it was only gonna be women in chains and a trapdoor monster they feed slaves to but like, they also have a band that plays cool music.

Little Egret (Egretta garzetta): This 65cm (26in) species of Egret is native to Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia. It is resident in most of its range but some northern birds in Europe migrate south in winter. It has distinctive yellow feet. Spectacular photo taken by Galashevi Mari. #egret #bird

This seems like a perfectly normal decision to make.

Does everyone else wait for a million years for photos to be imported from IG to #Pixelfed? ( #GramSocial, to be precise...) #Fediverse

@alistairaf.bsky.social Hello Alistair As Fuck, have you heard anything about an Irish Tenor #Banjo -specific feed on Bluesky? TIA #SpéirGhorm

Modern EU equality policies must also address the challenges faced by men and boys, particularly to counter polarisation and backlash against gender equality, Magnus Heunicke, Danish minister of Gender Equality, told Euronews. W/ @martairaola.bsky.social ✍🏽 www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

The way they'd kill a bunch of animals on a saint's day so you got pagan sacrifices on Christian holidays, all the bases covered. ##speirgorm

Bastardstown, Bastardstown Cottages and Bastardstown Beach, Co. Wexford. Irish 'Bhaile bhastaird' - probably from the surname 'Bastard'. #speirgorm

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

Education has become a battleground in the Kremlin’s campaign to militarize the Russian public consciousness. Youth organizations, book bans, changes to school curricula – all amount to a ‘special anthropological operation’, writes Andrei Kolesnikov @letraslibres.com www.eurozine.com/intellectual...

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet. After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

If you’re seeing this status: The world is a terrible place You need rest You should put your phone down and go to bed and do something cozy and comforting to turn your nervous system off Being underslept won’t help anything or anyone

UN says Fox News host apologized after calling for world body to be b*mbed. So when is the FCC investigating to take him off the air? Or is this now first amendment rights?

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

To the Daily Beast staffer who put “79” into this headline, know this: We salute you.

Yesterday, as part of my 1st proper play through of #MetalGearSolid (the "remastered" one, on #NintendoSwitch) I beat Liquid Snake in a copter, then Wolf (Pt. II) & I was delighted with the progress I'd made. Then, I forgot to call Mei Ling on the codex, to save, before exiting the game. #MGS1

After a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s oil infrastructure, the Kazan authorities decided the best way to “protect” their fuel is with nets Instead of ending the war against Ukraine, they spent money on covers, thinking everything is now safe 📸 Atesh

Moldova’s Central Electoral Commission has annulled the registration of the pro-Russian Moldova Mare party led by Victoria Furtună, citing illegal foreign funding and allegations of voter bribery. The decision comes before the Sept 28 parliamentary vote and follows a separate ban on Heart of Moldova

The white supremacist conceit that everyone in antiquity was living under some kind of global Jim Crow segregation is just complete bullshit.

This pair look like the villains in a movie where the hero is a dog.

Trump just handed TikTok’s algorithm—the platform with 136 million U.S. users—to Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Larry Ellison, and Michael Dell. What could go wrong? Literally everything. 🧵 👇 www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Rufous-backed Kingfisher (Ceyx rufidorsa): This species of bird is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand in tropical lowland forests near lakeshores and stream-sides. Amazing photo taken by Chong Lip Mun in Malaysia. #kingfisher #bird #nature #wildlife #bsky

I haven't played #DonkeyKong Bananza (& don't own a Switch 2) but I'd be inclined to agree with GC about the way #Nintendo games have been developed and presented, in more recent years.

Now ask yourself who they are funding in Ireland. 👍

When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen. It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

Disinformation comes in many forms—memes, headlines, manipulated images. The game *Cat Park* uses play to show how easily narratives can be shaped. A reminder of why media literacy matters. #Disinformation #MediaLiteracy #CatPark #CriticalThinking www.netopia.eu/busting-fake...

@davegildedalm.bsky.social Hi Dave, any chance Gilded ALM will be added to the "Radio Ireland" Android radio stations app? That's my only means of listening to the radio 99.9% of the time so I'm unlikely to ever hear all the class music you're playing unless it's there... 😥

"The feckless [17th century] Irish had after their own brutish fashion engaged in a frenzy of rewilding." Great to discover it was actually we Irish who first came up with rewilding!!! share.google/1hGCdskpeWX7...

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
