Michael Jackson. A disgusting child molester. The upcoming biopic is a nonsense. How can you do a biopic and not talk about him being a paedophile, a man who destroyed children’s lives. Interview with Dan Reed. 👇🏼

This is 🇺🇸. But we are as stupid. We need to stop the construction of data-centres in their current form.

The abuse that Senator Eileen Flynn has faced in recent days is both disgusting and disturbing, serving as another example of social media companies neglecting their duties to reduce harm and hateful content - @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social

EU ‘right to repair’ law The EU will soon require smartphone manufacturers to let users replace their batteries. The tough new rules - endorsed by the European Parliament this week - could save millions of phones from landfill. www.euronews.com/2023/06/22/n...

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Powerful stuff

⚡️ It is total nuts that data-centres use over 30% of the electricity in Ireland. Even more nuts that it’s forecasted to grow substantially. Even more 🥜 again is they pay 1/2 what everyone else does. Can we please stop listening to tech CEOs. They have one allegiance 💸 #spéirghorm #speirgorm

We have absolute idiots in every country telling us that mRNA therapies cause cancer. When the truth is they maybe unlocking the door to treating cancers.

Delighted to see our #Census26 work for the National Archives coming in the🚪 this morning. Official launch is today. Can genuinely say the NA are an absolute pleasure to work with. The first census undertaken by our new state is ‘The Story of Us’. Check out Your Story at: nationalarchives.ie

The #Census26 archivists are heroes 🤩 @rte.ie Nationwide is doing a fab deep dive into it all! Conservation of 2,496 books of census sheets, 700,000 forms, 3,000,000+ lines of data = the people of 1926 🥰 Legally we’re not allowed to see the input until 12.01am Saturday 18, 2026. #spéirghorm

The end is normally just around the corner when they start standing like this 🙏🏻

Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

The f*cking stupidity of Europe here. US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

No Farmers, No Food? We import most of what we eat in Ireland, and the tillage sector is at the point of collapse. Are we serious about food security, or will we become a country that produces only beef and dairy - and animal feed?

The Critical Infrastructure Bill as drafted will be the death of the Climate Action Act. It will mean that major projects in areas like energy and transport - some of the biggest building projects in the State - will no longer be checked for their climate impact (1/2)

Eddie Hobbs, the financial advice genius put up a video of animal cruelty expert James Geoghegan absolutely bangoed drunk, giving out about the Garda operation this morning on O’Connell Street. Eddie Hobbs remains a master tactician. #Speirgorm

Yes this Government needs to do more to help in the cost of living crisis, but abolishing the Carbon Tax, the one tax that is ring fenced to help the most vulnerable, would be the wrong thing to do. Can the government cut carbon tax, and what would happen if it did? jrnl.ie/7007865

One group feeding homeless in Ireland. Another group of tractor brained 'patri-rats' hurling abuse at them.

The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks. Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December. So far this year, only one electric HVG was newly registered in Ireland. #fuelprotests #speirgorm

What a disgraceful statistic - and a clear demonstration of why animal agriculture needs to be drastically scaled back

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

This has been a very long battle for @antaisce.bsky.social in the face of much abuse, misinformation and a wrong decision from the EU to give Ireland another derogation despite worsening pollution. Fair play to them for not giving up! www.irishexaminer.com/farming/arid...

If climate protesters had blocked roads for as long as the fuel protesters did, there would be people on the radio demanding the army be called in to shoot them all

Found this 1969 #Earth Day poster. The message remains very relevant. Our #environmental problems are serious and our societies remain unsustainable. But it also inadvertently shows that we've made A LOT of progress too. Consider the smoke trails. They are not an exaggeration.

Shocking to see these reports of materials produced in Ireland being used by Russia in the brutal war on #Ukraine

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Just in case you need some good news today: researchers at U of W have figured out how to turn plastic waste into acetic acid (primary ingredient in vinegar) using the sun. This has the potential to really help us reduce plastic waste. uwaterloo.ca/news/media/w...

the question on everyone's lips today

Breast cancer mortality dropped 58% from 1975 to 2019. Localized, early detected breast cancer has a 99% 5 year survival rate. Modern mammogram tech was developed by NASA for telescopes. Last year, RFK Jr. cancelled 87 research grants on breast cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...
