right lads, what we need to do is accuse the only Jewish leader of a major party of being an antisemite and highlight that he thinks Donald Trump is an unreliable military partner, then surely no-one will vote for him

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future. A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Delighted that the proposal from @seamasbelfast.bsky.social and myself has passed to suspend Council use on Twitter. There was only opposition from the DUP. We won't be rolled over by Tech Bros who have contempt for laws to protect women and children. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

A word of warning: Don't get stuck in a mandatory bicycle helmet or high-vis argument with people who have spent years reading about the issues with both. And especially not with people who spend way more time than the average person looking at road safety issues.

Always loved the fact that the DUTC had symbols for their tram routes back in the day.

They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil. But Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

NEW: Earlier today, DHS Sec Kristi Noem posted a photo of federal agents arresting civil rights attorney and ICE protestor Nekima Levy Armstrong. The White House then posted the same arrest image -- but digitally altered Levy Armstrong's face to depict her sobbing. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I knew that Mark Carney line was familiar 😇 Just listened to his 17 minutes in full - truly a speech for the ages.

“Look: Rome wasn’t burned in a day.”

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other. The world thinks that the occupant is a joke. He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

This is the platform the Irish government and our Taoiseach and Tanaiste don't want to regulate and don't want to stop using. Tell me again how much this government cares about women and children?

“Another adult living in the home was outside and begged the agents to let him take care of the small child and was refused." Instead, an agent “took the child, and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.

I don’t think you understand though, it’s very important that Fine Gael keeps posting on X for some reason

“10s of thousands have died or suffered abject ruination in the service of a few glossy pictures. The shambolic project that killed or ruined them was made possible not only by a seemingly bottomless supply of oil money, but by the borrowed prestige of some of the West’s leading architecture firms”

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

BBC News reports that Netanyahu is joining Trumps 'board of peace' They could have mentioned that Netanyahu is wanted for war crimes that include using starvation as a method of war, directing attacks against civilians, & extermination as a crime against humanity. But they didnt

Kemi Badenoch: "I showed strong leadership when faced with disloyalty & sacked Robert Jenrick." Keir Starmer: "She'd just read the resignation letter he'd left on the photocopier. What else was she going to do? Correct the typo's & hand it back to him?" 😄 #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Without America, "right now, you'd all be speaking German" Trump tells an audience in Switzerland.

BBC viewers can access Mark Rutte's inner monologue by pressing the red button.

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Another one bites the dust.

"I voted for him because I thought he would only round up the queers - I didn't think he meant me!" Forgive me if I can't muster up much sympathy for this lady

The EU line is hardening Denmark's analysis and the assessment of other European capitals consistent This crisis isn't about Denmark or Greenland per se - but something much more fundamental The ability of big countries to grab the territory of smaller ones with impunity

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

Here's a starter pack of various accounts related to Dublin City Council on Bluesky. go.bsky.app/4naJbid Any missing? Cc @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

Dublin City Council has suspended use of X following the Green Party emergency motion last week. It'll come to our Protocol Committee next week and myself and other Greens will be recommending leaving it completely. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X. The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour. In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

Re people still on X -- I'm surprised by some people, less so by others. But why is anybody with any self respect still active on a platform which had a feature which could generate images undressing people without their permission and -- at best -- as a side effect, generate child abuse image?
