Despite a ceasefire mandating the passage of humanitarian aid, only a fraction of the aid needed has been let into Gaza.

They're continuing to starve them on purpose

Centrist Das watching the inauguration

joyce carol oates has sent one of the worst men in living memory into a spiral wherein he desperately tries to prove that he contains a shard of humanity within the trash heap of his existence thank you, @joycecaroloates.bsky.social ! I can't imagine you dreamed you'd get under his "skin" like that

*John Carpenter sighs, breaks out the synth*

Being pro-trans and pro-immigrant is a winning strategy, like we've been saying all year These overpaid, Centrist pundits and consultants need to be ignored

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Ivan Yates becomes the first middle aged white guy to fail at podcasting, in keeping with being the first bookie ever to go bankrupt

I am going to lose my fucking mind! One more time: THE REASON THERE WERE A LOT OF SPOILED VOTES IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONCERTED ORGANISED CAMPAIGN BY BAD ACTORS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO… (YOU GUESSED IT!) SPOIL THEIR FUCKING VOTES It wasn’t organic! Now shut up and stop being enragingly thick

Is this like spoiled votes where they need to be pandered to harder? Or are there some problems where the solution isn't "more racism"?

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.

I sent this into Irish Pictorial Weekly ten years ago, (when I innocently thought gombeens were the worst thing about Irish politics)

Looking forward to the IT giving people the opportunity of saying why we voted in record numbers for Catherine Connolly. They might learn a bit about Ireland.

Why is that person on Rte? Look at the smile. She’s delighted about actual Nazi symbols and swastikas in her name. Smiling away. This person didn’t even get nominated and would never be elected so why is she on Rte? Where’s McGregor or the other headbangers interview? Why her? #Áras25 #Speirgorm

The Irish media are being played like fiddles by this Maria Steen tripe. Her campaign was as sincere as McGregors', she knew she hadn't a hope and deliberately botched it, but now is invited to be the face of the "oppressed right", and her/Iona are eyeing the foreign billionaire funding rolling in.

“We need to respect the opinions of everybody who spoiled their vote” Actually I think you’ll find that they spoiled their vote because we’ve lost the ancient art of telling people to cop on for themselves when they’re talking shite

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

Can't believe Catherine Connolly posted about my show tonight 😊

I haven't got to go to Halloween in years but here's a costume idea for anyone who wants it

Politicians defending these despicable "legitimate concerns" protests have carried the ball up the pitch for the riots at citywest. Thank God Eimer is there cause none of these people, TDs included, seem to give a shit when it's a white Irish man brutalizing, abusing, or murdering women or children

It's all just so frustrating and predictable, isn't it? For years people have been warning of the far right rising in Ireland and we've been laughed at and dismissed by the media and the government. In turn, the govt. have not acted, have treated right wing agitators with kid gloves.

I don't understand why stupid, right-wing arseholes are becoming so much bolder in this country just because there's been little to no action taken to deter them at a systemic level.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

It's wild how much it feels like people are desperate to memory hole this entire phenomenon, to me. How viciously everyone who pointed out the emperor had no clothes were criticized. How content they all seem to be to let the biggest wealth transfer of the decade just fade out w/o REAL examination.

"Connolly will say something to upset our western allies" is not pragmatism, it's cowardice. We must stand against injustice, even if there are consequences for doing so. You're just selfish.

What we’re seeing here is a media class struggling to come to terms with their own irrelevance. They thought they could just strongarm Steen onto the ballot without her doing the groundwork and not only did they fail, the only people that share their anger about it are loopers and bots

BREAKING: Five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack on az-Zawayda in central Gaza, according to medical sources at Al-Aqsa Hospital. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/glkirt

The ceasefire update includes a Palestinian BOY SPLIT IN HALF after an airstrike from Starmer's Israeli handlers

First fire.

Driver pulled over to give way for Catherine Connolly on rural road and Connolly did *not* give awkward little wave of acknowledgement

Great postering.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

I'm old enough to remember when being anti-fascist was a good thing

The hype for House of Guinness means my Quinn family pitch is finally getting traction.

Eh, I can personally attest to the fact that you can’t actually say “whatever the fuck your want” on RTE 🤷🏼‍♀️

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't). My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

I think any of us who were harassed as teenagers years ago on Grafton Street by this guy already knew about this problem. Another problem is how & why he felt SO comfortable sharing this with a national newspaper??

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"

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action. "to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb

No notes

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

They droned a second boat. We’re still going to Gaza. Pressure the Irish government any way you can to support the flotilla and sanction the country attacking us

It is quite funny when they go down the anti-trans rabbit hole and get love bombed by transphobe accounts, and then they find that twitter sock accounts don't actually buy anything
