in 1869 the first known car accident death was mary ward, this irish lady who made bug art

In the 'why did I even apply for this' stage of pre-interview nerves.

Gwan the girls! #TraitorsIRL

I wonder what would happen if Vanessa was voted out, and then it's a split vote with the lads going for Oyin and the girls for Nick. Is that a traitor win? #TraitorsIRL

I think I need to start wearing brooches and badges again. Maybe get a nice Tara brooch. #TraitorsIRL

Ah yes the democratically elected CEO. Also wouldn't curfews and exclusion zones (ffs) make people want to be in town less.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

It's disgusting that a man can he prevented from running for President just because nobody has heard of him and he's never done anything or filed the required paperwork

"You couldn't make The Birth of a Nation nowadays," laments D. W. Griffith, "because it's three hours long, very racist, and I am dead."

"Mr Troy had to resign as a junior minister in 2022 over errors he made in declaring 11 properties he either owned or part owned."

I can not be dealing with these two lads as the traitors. (Also the same problem as a season of UK Traitors, men just consistently picking other men) #TraitorsIRL

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Watch Paudie make it to the final at this rate #TraitorsIRL

Good on Amy calling out the controlling comment/idea. These women won't let the lads away with anything. #TraitorsIRL

All those indie devs who moved their games for Silksong only for Hades 2 to be waiting in the wings with the steel chair.

Deciding you ought to give your opponents who want to annihilate you a hand up, to be sound, is pure brainworms.

Is Oyin old enough to run for president? #TraitorsIRL

The traitors absolutely falling apart #TraitorsIRL

Silk Song feels like a game where people had time to do their jobs

Fantastic, critically acclaimed new album and officially taking Bertie out at the knees. What a week for CMAT.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering

Today, hundreds of media outlets in over 50 countries are mobilising in solidarity with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, alongside RSF and Avaaz. Find out more: bit.ly/3UXUSOS #ProtectJournalistsInGaza #LetReportersIntoGaza

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

"I'm 26 years in the job. This is the first time I've ever missed the opening of the school... I've got no pension, no bereavement leave, no real sick leave..." Out on the street speaking with the school caretakers and secretaries beginning an indefinite strike today.

Not Kyrie Eleison in CMATs new single. The Irish references in these songs are top tier.

Martin Turner Irish Times ... a truthful depiction

Silksong, my love, you're finally real.

You really aren't going to get a better example of how the British media works than the contrasting coverage of two Irish authors this week. The brave and sensitive transphobe John Boyne vs the vile and hateful opponent of genocide Sally Rooney.

Interviewed Gareth Sheridan this morning - he says it's time for an end to 'left - right divisive' politics. That's despite being introduced to councillors by Senator Sharon Keogan - who said LGBT+ people were involved in an 'organised takeover' of society... and who has posted "#IrelandisFull".

What they saw: massive quantities of food and medicines like ibuprofen ready for delivery to Gazans but blocked by Israeli authorities. What they saw: massive quantities of food and medicines like ibuprofen ready for delivery to Gazans but blocked by Israeli authorities. 2/3

Irish artists/ supporters of the arts, please check out and fill in this short survey. The Gript/ far right dudes are already sharing it on X and I'd be worried it'll get brigaded. If we want it to be retained and expanded we gotta drown them out.

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today” #TransRightsAreHumanRights @independent.ie

News orgs rushing to get the rights to use Euro-Country for montages.

It is huge that Valve is breaking silence about their communications with payment processors that DIRECTLY contradict Mastercard's public statement Put the irons to them

We are all busy. Life is hectic. Days pass by in a blur. But you can always find a minute or two to say FUCK CONOR MCGREGOR

RIP Tom Lehrer - the day he announced his items were public domain on a website, we mirrored it. Thank you for your service archive.org/details/toml...

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

Remember! If you want respect when you die, earn it while you live!

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

There are plenty of gender issues worthy of coverage - sexual abuse, domestic violence, poverty rates among single parent households and their increased risk of homelessness, healthcare, abortion access, the gender pay gap. Stella O’Malley’s culture war on trans people isn’t one of them

My niece loves the Dublin Vampire and Spooktacular Place to Be books by Úna Woods. Today she wanted to do a trip around the places the Vampire goes, maybe even see him. Went to Trinity, Archaeology Museum, Bewleys & Stephen's Green but she realised she might not see the Vampire cause it's daytime.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.

UN's Tom Fletcher: "The situation is dire.. we have thousands of trucks ready to go.. we are demanding that the world back us in pushing Israel to let us in.. [5 trucks is] a drop in the ocean.. there are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them"

I literally just read about 14,000 babies potentially dying in the next 48 hours in Gaza and this is the next thing I see.
