When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

I am fucking heartbroken at this news

Kneecap have multiple sexual assault allegations against them. I'd love to know why, when this is well known, that AVA Festival in Belfast has chosen to book them for their 2026 lineup? We either believe victims or we don't.

Conor McGinn was instrumental in bringing marriage equality to Northern Ireland. But I believe women, and I believe victims. And I hope she gets the justice she deserves.

I don't remember this many storms when I was a kid. Starmer's woke Britain.

Absolute morons. Now it looks like Starmer is scared of Burnham. He could have very easily let Andy stand, Andy would have easily seen off any threat from Reform, and offered him the Deputy Prime Minister position. But no, let's spend the next few months on infighting and scandal. Great job, lads.

If I lived in the US I fear I'd be in jail or worse. Because you would have to kill me before I let ICE agents take anyone I loved away.

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Nine soldiers from Northern Ireland lost their lives in Afghanistan, countless more were wounded and left with life changing injuries.

Tell that to the families of the 1,160 dead troops from the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Denmark, Australia, Georgia, Romania, Netherlands, Turkey, Czechia, New Zealand, Norway, Estonia, Hungary, Sweden, Latvia, Slovakia, Finland, Jordan, Portugal, South Korea, Albania, Belgium

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

This is what should happen to ICE agents.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

We have seen where appeasement to a tyrant has gotten us in the past. If we give Trump what he wants in Greenland, who amongst us is naive enough to believe that'll be the end of his wishlist? Where's next? Iceland? Svalbard? Bermuda?

So lemme get this right. Trump wants to deport thousands of people by force who want to be Americans, whilst wanting to seize control of populations who don't want to be Americans and make them Americans by force?

In a screeching u-turn from its Manifesto the Government now backs conversion therapy for trans people. That is what 'supporting' trans youth but denying them the medicine they need to physically transition means.

Safe to say Trump has just given the Iranian regime a reprieve? What's that saying? When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt them?

'Another Warrington has hit the North-West'.

I need Irish musical societies to stop putting on shows for which they are unable to cast for. If I see one more production of Sister Act with a white Delores from fucking Ballyfermot I'm going to kick my own head in.

Of the three Warringtons, which is your favourite?

Denmark going to war against the USA wasn't really on my 2026 radar tbh but here we are.

BREAKING: Denmark has deployed an advance force and military equipment to Greenland, tasked with preparing to receive reinforcements from the rest of the Danish Armed Forces and allied nations. Follow the story on DR, Denmark’s public-service news outlet. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

🎥 “Total Diagnostic Collapse” in Gaza Drop Site spoke with Dr. Mimi Syed, a US-based physician who has volunteered twice in Gaza, about what medical workers describe as the complete collapse of diagnostic capacity under Israel’s siege. Doctors warn they are now “working blind.” At Al-Shifa...

While I love my niche stupid hobby of historical board gaming, sometimes it does just make me want to scream. Take the latest example, a board game about the Irish Potato Famine where you get to compete with friends to see who survives best (?) www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

The narrative being used around Grok is disturbing. "Images being made of children without their consent." Children cannot consent. Under any circumstances, to sexualised images of them being manufactured, in any capacity or medium.

Great (gifted) article on possibilities for revolution in Iran by @jgoldstone.bsky.social & @kSadjadpour.bsky.social They say 5 conditions are there now: a fiscal crisis, divided elites, diverse oppositional coalition, convincing narrative of resistance, and a favorable international environment

Iran today 🇮🇷🔥

We are in the “the state can kill a few catholics in NI who were doing nothing and deny their family justice “because the ira”, we ARE better than the US ok?!” Stage of replies from uncomfortable ‘mild mannered’ English people

Dr Horton describes the Cass Review as an "exemplar in policy-based evidence-making"🔥🔥🔥

It's slightly concerning that the majority of our elected MLAs have no fucking clue how an AI language learning model works, yet they want to invest in AI?

I look crazy! Thank you to @/LostLensCaps on Instagram for this wonderful photo of my bestie and I at a Christmas show in Maverick, Belfast.

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

“you won’t get away with this”

Folks it is currently -2°C in Belfast and there are lads walking about in t shirts and shorts. Is it gay to not want pneumonia?

Denmark Prime Minister speaks bluntly to the US about Greenland:

Leaving the blatant violation of international law that has been flouted by the Trump regime, the US has lost any and all moral high ground in the ongoing peace negotiations with Russia and Ukraine. Legitimising the concept of blockading a sovereign nation, removing it's government

Good fucking riddance.

If someone uses the phrase "gender ideology", they're a creep. If someone tries to insist that, socially, biological sex is paramount, they're stupid. If someone constantly tries to paint trans women as predators and sex offenders, they're dangerous. Creepy, stupid, dangerous people.

Lord grant me the confidence of Jake O'Kane.

All I want for Christmas is for Malachai O'Doherty to stop being published.

In the post-truth era we live in, the fact a Muslim man risked his own life to protect Jewish lives is an inconvenience to those who seek to spread hate. And so the misinformation strategy begins to erase the name Ahmed al Ahmed from existence. Thus the invention of 'Edward Crabtree'

How do I get within headbutting distance of Connor Tomlinson?

Evri. It's on fuckin sight.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

Well done Emma Barnett on #r4today exposing the blatant antisemitism of Richard Tice, MP (and deputy leader of Reform) - he called the Jewish man abused at school by Nigel Farage with the foulest of antisemitic language a liar and said it was “lefty twaddle”… A new low for Farage, Tice, and Reform…

80% of British media spends all day everyday calling trans people predators and freaks, and the remaining 20% say tsk tsk that's a bit much while still arguing they should be banned from even having a fucking hobby and, honestly, would it be so hard for them to just piss before they leave the house?

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X. Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’ It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.
