C’mere to me, if Mothers Against Genocide had actually wanted the Govt to enact the Occupied Territories Bill then they should’ve stuck to the democratic process and gotten Stephen Graham to star in a Netflix drama about the Bill. Amirite.

All of these articles should be seen as a kind of misinformation, a symptom of elite insularity, fragility and class anxiety. Every time they warned us about the 'new McCarthyism,' they missed an opportunity to point out how the same old McCarthyism was growing and radicalizing under our noses.

The guitar world has realised that millennials have nostalgia and money for hobbies and have moved on from boomer bait to millennial bait. Here’s a pedal that does the bass sound from Losing My Edge

You steal some steak & chocolate & you get 3 months in an overcrowded prison (how the f*ck does this help?) You hoard & let property rot onto street & you get free money, tax breaks & might even get elected Welcome to #DerelictIreland The land of inequality & social injustice

Israel has killed 208 journalists in Gaza during the ongoing genocide.

Haven’t watched Adolescence yet but I see we’re pretending that it’s only kids who are radicalised by their darn phones and not a sizeable portion of the adult population. Including journalists, politicians and your favourite content creators

Would love to have this set of Individuals in a tutorial group.

for a guy reared on 90s sampling wars and punk collage it's a weird vibe to be hoping a fair use case gets shot down but please please please

I guess I need to start talking about this a little. it's already available to order from www.beyondthepalebooks.com and will be in shops on the island of Ireland soon. It all started with 'Martin Brennan' and the medley of 'Come Out Ye Black and Tans and the Men Behind the Wire on Alan Partridge

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The European Federation of Journalists representing 300,000+ journalists have announced they are leaving Elon Musk's X and will no longer be posting.

Happy #IWD2025 to all my wonderful feminist friends and colleagues, to women and girls everywhere. It does seem a darkly misogynistic time of backlash these days, but, like our foremothers, we fight on - la lucha continua #feminism #speirgorm

Aaaaannnddddd we're off

One lad who'll risk their life going across the English Channel in a dinghy in the hope of some shit minimum wage job instead of living at the absolute bottom rung of the capitalist exploitation ladder is worth a 1000 commentators who keep trying to tell you to give in to fascism just a little bit

By 2030, DCs will account for 30% of electricity on the grid. No other country comes close to that. This kind of media commentary just normalises the fact that Ireland is a pollution sink/cheap energy source for big tech. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/edit...

Looking forward to heading up to Queens University Belfast this time next week to chat with student led radio The Scoop about being a woman in journalism. 📰 How cute are these graphics! 💗

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

The sad thing is that email and admin have taken over academic life so much that many of us have to squeeze in the poisoning of minds on evenings and weekends.

BBC asked leading AI tools 100 basic questions, using its articles as sources. Significant issues with just over half of the answers. Clear factual errors in a fifth Where answers included quotes from BBC articles, more than 1 in 10 were altered, or didn’t exist www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

Accenture is headquartered in Dublin. Their website is all about Change: "Let there be change", "Grow your career at the heart of change", "Every day, we embrace change". Hypocritical cowards.

And there’s herself @maryannbolger.bsky.social

@tudublin.bsky.social looking very well on the @rte.ie Nationwide programme about Grangegorman this evening. @tudublinsustain.bsky.social

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes. There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU. Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

4 days now without gas in Ballybough...gas networks Ireland are doing their best and are working around the clock yet we have DC councillors from other areas trying to stoke hatred and misinformation on the other app...it would boil your piss..the high blood pressure is keeping me warm thou

Our research group wants your photos, flyers, zines, posters, ticket stubs and knowledge about Dublin's music scenes past and present this Sat at Flux Studios 12pm - 3pm. Cheers @nialler9.bsky.social @carolineanno.bsky.social @seanfinnan.bsky.social nialler9.com/this-tu-dubl...

So many of Dublin's musical spaces have disappeared over the years + now the Live Music Mapping Project (LMMP) is trying to capture the past and the present of Dublin's rich musical history. Mini hackathon @ Flux Studios, Chatham Row Sat 18 January 12-3pm h/t @carolineanno.bsky.social

Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir. Happy New Year everyone. Más maith leat do chuid Gaeilge a fheabhsú i mbliana, cén fáth nach mbainfidh tú triail as #100daysofGaeilge? If you want to improve your Irish this year, give #100daysofGaeilge a go.

It's also deeply weird to me that the massive tech companies HQed in Dublin, awash with cash and in the middle of an ongoing reputational crisis, don't just throw money at a project that's interested in technology as a cultural force.

🤌

What a shame #coygig

There are *still* more Michaels than women as TDs in Cork, Ireland's biggest county, a fact first noted by Holly Cairns after the 2020 election. www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic... #ge24 #missing

Absolutely honoured to be appointed to the Arts Council. Looking forward to working with colleagues to increasing diversity within the Arts sector in Ireland in years to come. www.artscouncil.ie/News/The-Art...

I'd like to apologise to anyone non-Irish here who follows any of us: we've gone into election mode, and there is no point trying to explain Irish elections, with their hyper democratic methods and loooooong counts to those who didn't grow up with it. Like explaining test cricket.

Just been to vote .. polling clerk reporting low turn out but said what do you expect in inner city .. this is what we are up against go and vote now if you haven’t yet

Fantastic to hear from Dimitri Hegemann about the establishment of Tresor in Berlin #nativeroots

Is it time to start a drinking game? #livedexperiences #rtept

A nation divided.

More of this.. le do thoill!

I'm already several hours past my bedtime I don't think I can face another part of this #rteupfront

No English equivalent fits quite as well as "trína chéile". Our heads? Trína chéile. The country? Trína chéile. This leadership debate? Trína. Chéile. #RTÉUpFront

The radio mics are a bit sensitive, one of them seems to be picking up Simon Harris’ internal monologue #RTEUpfront

Ill be hearing Simon Harris whisper mentally stabbed in my dreams #leadersdebate
