When a pub in Dublin understands the destructive power of AI better than our politicians....👏 If I see you knowingly using AI, despite knowing how damaging it is, I think you're a cnut. Especially if you're pitching yourself with an environmental profile.

Get along & support @meapride.bsky.social in Ballymena today if you can. ✊🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I can’t get the good and tasty limoncello I love delivered from Italy, because of Brexit. Once again, fucking fuck Brexit. 😭 (There are many, much more serious ramifications of Brexit obviously, but this is one that I am personally feeling right now.)

I think that if you're from England — including Hot England (Australia) and Gun England (America) — you should generally take a moment before posting your little joke about Ireland just to check if it's actually funny.

The DUP spent years using the Petition of Concern to wrongly block marriage equality & abortion rights. Now they’re at it again. Well we say it needs to change!

Céad míle failte, not céad míle fascist. ✊

I don't reflect too often on my time as an SU officer anymore - but I read this article in @wonkhe.bsky.social this morning and had a hard flash-back. wonkhe.com/blogs-sus/wh... This is going to be a rant, apologies in advance.

We’ve seen some sharing this graphic we done a while back. Seems a good moment to reshare it!

A man known to locals as being in the local UVF went up the Donegall Road yesterday to warn businesses to close.

The UDA's "Doomsday" plan that was released in 1994 suggested taking Catholics hostage and an ethnic cleansing campaign carried out to make a smaller NI territory entirely Protestant. Sammy Wilson described it as "a very valuable return to reality".

A real challenge in Northern Irish politics is the extent to which loyalist paramilitaries seem to have reconstituted themselves as a sort of far right militia that can be mobilised against migrant communities.

The news this morning is so fucking grim. An absolutely shameful morning for Northern Ireland. We all saw the text messages flying about before the protests. We all knew this was coming and somehow, because the lads involved have weapons, it all happened anyway.

How many women in Northern Ireland have been stabbed to death in the last few years without loyalists needing to riot over it?

I humbly offer a kidney / next month's salary / whatever else to any journalist, ANY OF THEM, who question the politicians talking out of both sides of their mouths about the pogrom last night. They let people do the "I condemn violence but also get the immigrants out" last year and the year before.

It should be illegal to have your period during a heatwave. 🥵Someone lock my uterus up plz it’s putting me through H E L L

The. Boss.

I’m genuinely looking forward to Pope Leo’s encyclical on AI due to drop this weekend, titled “the greatness of humanity.” Using AI is against my religion sorry. 🤷‍♀️

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

Derry MP Colum Eastwood has said he is “shocked and astounded” that the leader of the Conservative Party used Bloody Sunday footage in a video criticising legal cases brought against British soldiers. jrnl.ie/7028918

Pros of the fuel protests: -Irish govt facing no confidence vote -Motorists angry -people reminded protest can work -people reminded protest sometimes requires breaking the law Cons: -the most self-entitled gammony prick you know who'd see you dead thinks he's a Folk Hero now for driving a tractor

I didn't have Trump going to war with the Catholic Church on my bingo card. I hope JD Vance is shaking in his wee boots x

Just checked and this is real - Scottish Labour’s manifesto refers to trans people using slurs and commits to a policy of explicit segregation in public life

Today on International Trans Day of Visibility, Rainbow Rose and @xrosiemckennax.bsky.social of @sdlpyouth.bsky.social stand in solidarity with trans people in Europe. Your lives, your voices, and your contributions matter. We celebrate you — today and every day. #TDOV #TransgenderDayOfVisibility

So a hope focussed red-green campaign is the antidote for better-things-aren’t-possible and blame-the-immigrants nonsense? Who knew? What’ll they say now?

Reform were beat and the Tories lost their deposit. Happy Friday!

Really disappointing to hear my local MP spouting transphobic dogwhistles. www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politic...

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

I'm sure the PSNI are so confident they won't misuse facial recognition technology that they'll of course agree to tracking every single time it plays a role in any arrest so it can be FOI'd about what the primary demographics are that they're deploying it against

Antifa used to unmask neo-Nazis, now it’s exposing ICE: ‘Predators don’t get anonymity’

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

The fash group that is planning a rally in Coleraine on 28th March has decided to dabble in Holocaust denialism

Sometimes hearing the denial of paramilitary involvement in the racist violence here makes you doubt the evidence of your own eyes and ears, so having this evidence is invaluable.

The powerful have their power. We have the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to act together | Mark Carney

If they didn't commit murder, they've nothing to worry about do they. 🤡

How am I expected to focus on my job when *everything* is happening

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

Seen in Minneapolis this morning

"It took Kier Starmer banning X for me to leave it" would be such a specific crown of shit some people might get to wear for the rest of their days

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Have noticed people IRL being casually anti-Semitic of late in a way I don't ever remember before - dropping things like "oh, shur they control the media, I saw it on Facebook" etc, largely via right-wing propaganda. Wherever it comes from or whatever the reason, it's real and it's so, so dangerous.

This entire weekend

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children. They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

One mfer I never want to have beef with is 50 Cent. That man holds a GRUDGE. I respect it.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Moving in with my bf this weekend and not only is it Mercury Retrograde but SIX planets are appaz in retrograde so yk def the time to make BIG MOVES and life changes bois 🤟🏻

Today we remember all those who have suffered, been hurt, or died due to being trans. We call on all, especially those in power, to do all you can to improve the lives of trans people however you can. 🏳️‍⚧️
