Rapid global climate change is here... The mysterious "cold blob" in the North Atlantic is caused by a weakening AMOC ocean current, a new study confirms. Deep-water data proves this cooling isn't an atmospheric fluke, signaling a shift toward a major climate tipping point.

We often label fossil fuel firms as #climate criminals (and they are) but spare a thought for the bankers without whose mega-funding this would not be possible. They are every bit as criminally culpable. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What on Earth?! This video is from Greenpeace. 💔

The legend @cmatbaby.bsky.social said a lot more in her acceptance speech than what RTÉ are reporting. (Video posted by Lisa McLoughlin on Instagram - www.instagram.com/reel/DYnTKR3...) #Speirgorm

Could you squirm any harder?

Please have a look at and ideally buy David's work - he's so talented, easily one of my favourite artists and cartoonists, and deserves to be able to make a living from it.

Our citizens are being tortured by the Zionist murder-regime. Rialtas na hÉireann is failing in its principle duty to our people. What we need is an immediate change of gov’t in Dublin - but our opposition parties aren’t at the match. We’re fucked.

A Dublin village #painting. "Sandymount" A couple of years back on a sharp April day I sat in Sandymount Green and sketched the scene as people around me played, chatted and read books. Took me more hours than my cold fingers liked, but I loved doing it. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #UrbanSketching

Queen Medb of Connacht, famed for her role in the Táin Bó Cúailnge and flanked by bulls Finnbhennach and Donn Cúailnge - formidable warrior queen, shrewd leader, seductive beauty, and one of Ireland's most powerful, strong-willed, and legendary women 🐂 Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...

The sooner Ireland and the EU end all economic & political relations with this terrorist state, the better. Kudos to Haaretz, a rare voice of truth, for reporting on Gestapo-style Israeli policing.

Know I'm grumbling a lot recently and I am sorry, but it's just impacting so many small artists, and really disheartening to have so much of what you need to make a living increasingly become out of your control due mainly to the whims of a small group of globally powerful megalomaniacal gobshites

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.
