Girl Guides of Canada has made a statement, likely in response to the cowardly decisions of Girlguiding UK. 🏳️‍⚧️

The language our allies need to defend us out there can actually be this elegant all the time, as long as you know what you're saying 🏳️‍⚧️

Good to see Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia. Belgium, and Spain announce that they will NOT participate in next year’s Eurovision (other countries to follow). The EBU is a disgraceful organisation, completely oblivious to the genocide Israel has been committing in Gaza. A watershed moment.

Ireland will not participate in next year's Eurovision Song Contest, and it will not be broadcast by RTÉ, after the European Broadcasting Union confirmed today that Israel will be allowed to take part

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza. Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

Ireland should be doing more for Palestine, boycotting the genocidal state of Israel on every level: trade, sporting, and cultural links. But RTE's stand on the Eurovision is still cause to be proud. share.google/O7eDraWZmvyf...

Nigel Farage denies saying anything racist ‘with malice’ as he attacks BBC

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

Shovel-ready Luas and Dart projects delayed “to free up funding for more roads” The Government is delaying shovel-ready public transport projects such as Dart+ South West and Luas Finglas in order "to free up funding for more roads", the Green Party's transport spokesperson, Cllr Feljin Jose, has…

With every failed attempt to stop people groping the Molly Malone statue, we move closer to electrifying her, which is a social good

A: Who gives a fuck apart from racists? B: His figure is wrong. 71.2% of Glaswegian children speak English as their first language. C: So that's 28.8% who speak it as a second and I'll bet you they speak brilliant English and that it's much better than most Reform voters I've met online.

London is fast becoming a cycling city. As each new piece in the network appears—which has more than quadrupled from 90 to 431 km since 2016—so do new cyclists. Its infrastructure now sees a stunning 1.5 million daily users—a 43% spike since 2019—moving nearly half as many people as the Tube below.🧵

The amount of new plastic made globally is set to rise 52% by 2040, overwhelming waste management systems, according to a new Pew report.

YOU GUYS! IT'S FINALLY ONLINE! IT'S TOTALLY FREE! IT'S THE NEW YORK STATE DEATH INDEX, 1880-2017! www.newyorkdeathindex.com

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

A man has become the 7th person to be left HIV-free after receiving a stem cell transplant to treat blood cancer. He’s also the second of the 7 who received stem cells that were not actually resistant to the virus, strengthening the case that HIV-resistant cells may not be necessary for an HIV cure.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

How it started / where it goes / how it ends up

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has appointed a trans woman to his transition team and transphobes are, unsurprisingly, foaming at the mouth.

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist. Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

Where is the kindness when we talk about trans people? Deeply empathetic essay from Kathy Sheridan. The take of the young girl at the centre of transphobic outrage at a match is a horror story, but this where transphobia takes people! #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas." Peter Ettedgui, ex classmate of Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage.

“Our mid-term goal should be the complete phase-out of Microsoft products, including the Windows operating system. It’s easier than it sounds.” A cross-party group of lawmakers are pushing for the European Parliament to get off US tech, starting with Microsoft.

Three more ex-pupils at school with Nigel Farage reject ‘banter’ claims

This is my 6th year posting this same message. Black Friday is a nonsense with often pretend discounts on stuff you probably don’t need. We’ll do as we always do at this time and increase the 1% of all income we give to Women’s Aid to 10% on web sales over the weekend. Fuck Black Friday. #speirgorm

Toby Young, self-appointed king of free speech, is speaking in Hungary tomorrow about UK “censorship”. He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR 🏳️‍⚧️ www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Callaghan’s new “tough on immigration” rules will only affect a tiny proportion of immigrants—who also happen to be among the most vulnerable. The gov know that drastically reducing inward migration would be an act of self harm so they’ll pick on these asylum seekers as an act of performance. Sick

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

Under new NHS puberty blocker trial protocols, trans youth are being subjected to more than 50 assessments, intrusive exams, and over 13 hours of intrusive testing - just to access lifesaving healthcare It demands young people re-live distress & undergo intimate examinations #ConversionPractices

Two more road deaths in urban areas in the last 24 hours. A failure to introduce default 30 km/h speed limits in Built Up Areas reflects poorly on the Irish Government. #VisionZero road deaths? A pipe-dream unless attitudes change. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

for senior citizens it can mean so much to spend quality time with a young person, even if it's just a few minutes

Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

She knows that (a) she would actually have to get off her arse and do the work and (b) she wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a seat. She never actually had any notion of being on the Presidential ballot either, but everyone fell for it.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now? TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Maybe don’t put it at the top of every search result then?
