Senior military leaders suppressed reports of potential war crimes by elite troops, whistleblower testifies.

I see The Irish Times is copying the "Don't buy Christmas presents for adults" shtick that the dodgy US media was peddling in the face of a government- and billionaire-induced affordability crisis. Good times.

And notice: 11 stars—the number of states in the Confederacy. “Americanism” is the new fascism, as predicted.

This is a breaking news story.

Kenny's Bookshop and Art Gallery in Galway city is celebrating 85 years as a family business this weekend.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

A message to Vince Gasparro:

Communities need used-book shops. As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories... We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

New idea: The handle to recline your seat on a plane or coach should be located so that it can only be operated by the person sitting behind you. That way, you have to ask if you can recline and impinge on their space.

Ah! The work of our very own @robcottingham.ca!

Sure, it's disappointing if people in positions of power in Ukraine are found to be corrupt; however, we are only learning about this because Ukraine is working to root it out. How many other countries can say the same? The most powerful country in the world is led by an openly corrupt regime.

How many US citizens murdered somebody last year?

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now. But there's an even more important reason...

Weird the way the entire world went mad and only the creator of the IT Crowd was unaffected.

Seems trustworthy.

Palestine campaigning in Ireland and the UK has badly needed more union action and collective support of workers. That’s where the most power is, not with celebrity activists; the murder machine relies on labour. Stand with this Tesco worker who refused to handle Israeli goods

Bob Vylan put on a great show in Dublin last night. They seemed pretty amused by the spontaneous "Death, death to the London Met!" chant that the crowd started. Epic mosh pit action, too. #BobVylan #FreePalestine www.hotpress.com/music/live-r...

Observers condemn Israeli army's killing of two Palestinian men in northern West Bank as 'shocking crime'.

The Luas Red Line will be fully operational from tomorrow, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has announced. Services between Connolly and The Point had been suspended since August, when a major gas fire occurred at George's Dock. jrnl.ie/6886914

That’s quite an own goal by Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien delaying the Finglas Luas by two years, and stalling on DART+ South West till 2030, on World Sustainable Transport Day, no less. Who needs Judicial Reviews when Fianna Fáil’s running the show?

My Winter tour now includes Cork, Castleblayney and Melbourne (not their Winter). This Christmas, why not give the gift of Doddles. phlaimeaux.tumblr.com/shows

Matchday at Anfield #YNWA #LIVPSV #PL

Other engagements have caused me to miss a few of Liverpool's recent matches (probably a mercy!), and I'll again miss tonight's game vs PSV. Hopefully, it will be a good performance and three points, and you guys all get to enjoy it. #LIVPSV #LFC #UCL #Liverpool #PSV #YNWA

Controversial punk-rap duo Bob Vylan paid a visit to Leinster House today for a tour of the parliament building and a meeting with pro-Palestinian TDs and Senators. They were invited to visit Dáil Éireann by Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin ahead of their Vicar Street gig. jrnl.ie/6886145

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

It's okay to like a movie. It's okay to dislike a movie. It's okay to post about liking a movie. It's okay to post about disliking a movie. It's interesting to discuss with people what they like and dislike about a movie.

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity. They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators. Leadership is knowing the way, showing the way, AND going the way…🇬🇧♻️⚡️👷👩‍🔧

An article in the Indo with Myles Dungan that almost calls out illegal bogus self employment, but completely misses the links to “freelance” work within the wider media ecosystem. Apparently Gay Byrne invented bogus self employment…

These are the "voters" Martin, O'Callaghan, Harris and the rest of them are pivoting to racism to please. If ever two groups needed reminding that Twitter and Facebook are not real life, it's journalists and politicians.

My LORD, my car doors can hold a lot of water! Just found the slosh plug and the door has been draining a river!

Israel has violated the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire at least 497 times in 44 days, killing at least 342 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. 🔗: aje.io/65ptdp| #Infograph

I’ve written something on John Collison’s Op-Ed and environmental democracy Next time you’re out in Dublin, check if you’re being “socially de-risked” by a friendly face from his think-tank elajucd.com/2025/11/21/o...

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?
