Who voted for the Collisons?

It's disgraceful that Helen Ogbu, currently lying third in the polls for the Galway West by-election, hasn't been selected for the RTE live debate which contains six candidates. In fact it's downright sinister and makes RTE look like they're attempting to sway the course of the election. No excuse.

I'm only a small fish in the Bluesky pond. Could someone get somebody with serious numbers to take up the cudgels for Helen Ogbu. This is just a shameful injustice. I

Says everything about the lunacy of Britain's first past the post electoral system that the local election results if repeated at a general election would give Reform a 60 seat overall majority with 28% of the vote.

I, for one, don’t give a rats patootie about Spirit Airlines. In fact, I wish more airlines would go under. It’s a national embarrassment that we don’t have domestic high speed rail in 2026. Imagine if after the horse and buggy everyone just quit on improving transportation.

Thanks for the concern, but MAGA is a joke. No worries.

@thinkorswim.bsky.social Fantastic John on Newstalk. Concise and simple.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

"could pass a significant tipping point by mid-century" Which is less than 25 years away. And given the lag in effects, we have then, what? 15 years to make changes or suffer the consequences of inaction? johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years. Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

Ireland, 2026. These two photos were taken yesterday at the same location - Ballyogan recycling centre- within 20 metres of one another.

The degree of corruption in the current US administration is breathtaking.

Nooses. Death threats. Some of these “protesters” like the ones who wrote this sign are fascists itching for violence.

Two‑year‑old Anya and her mother Dasha 💔 🕯were killed yesterday in Odesa when russians struck a residential building with a drone. Anya’s father is in intensive care. On June 23, little Anya would have turned three.

Don't look away ‼️ This is Odesa today, facing russian terror yet again today. At least three people were killed in the attack, and at least fifteen others were injured when russia brought their home crashing down on them in the middle of the night!

Tel Aviv. Thousands of Israelis are protesting the war, holding "Justice for Palestine" signs. The Zionist regime is so terrified of internal dissent that they are violently arresting their own citizens. Their global narrative is completely collapsing. #cdnpoli

Kharkiv police released bodycam footage showing the first minutes after the Russian attack on our city yesterday. Watch it! This horror, this nightmare, has been our daily reality for 1501 days. Every single day. When will it end?

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

I have had enough. ENOUGH!

“Bucha survived 33 days of russian occupation, terror, torture — 33 days of total evil. 600 murdered Ukrainian men and women. Russia called it staged. Russia always does this. Actually, all evil acts this way.” President Zelenskyy addressed the European leaders at the Bucha Summit.

I need you to share this with your friends and families. This is going to hit us all in our wallet and we need to be prepared for it. Trump's tariffs get us again!

The Pitt. Release Jesse.!

Imagine a world where we ditch fossil fuels, phase out coal, oil, and gas, and invest in clean energy and resilient water systems. That means healthy rivers, cities powered by renewables, and water as a basic right. Let’s stop water bankruptcy, cut emissions, and build economies ready for anything.

We’re all brainwashed to some degree. We’re just numb to the bullshit. We completely let it go that this crazy person faked his assassination attempt. Everyone knows it.

Climate breakdown is occurring more rapidly with the heating rate almost doubling, according to research that excludes the effect of natural factors behind the latest scorching temperatures. #climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As global warming accelerates towards apocalyptic conditions, rather than working to save ourselves, the great powers are instead pouring oil and raining bombs onto the gathering inferno. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Lots of Warships from various countries heading for the Gulf. The intention is to protect the Lebanese population from Israeli attacks. Oops Sorry, to protect rich oil producing countries and airfields. Silly me.

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast Former Indian FM: “US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”

Trump called it. In 2019 😜

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

28th Mech Brigade of the UGF 🇺🇦: “Kostiantynivka. Russian forces struck a residential area with phosphorus. Then hit it with a 1.5-ton FAB-1500 bomb. ~2,000 civilians remain in the city. They are also hunted by FPV drones. The man on the bicycle was clearly a civilian. This is terror.”

So, any other news yesterday? Anything important?
