Significant blow today for Stella O'Malley & her anti-trans advocacy organisation Genspect, as their spurious defamation action against Irish therapist, Leonie O'Dowd, is added to "The Gallery of Shame" by CASE (Campaign Against SLAPPs in Europe.) www.the-case.eu/gallery-of-s...

A big old Leeds United survey. Have your say. #lufc www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/footba...

Right wing FG candidate for Irish President, Heather Humphreys, being called out for her anti-trans nastiness by noted feminist & women’s equality campaigner Ruth Coppinger TD. Whatever your views on human rights, you can’t claim that Humphreys would be a president who was inclusive.

Who knew that you had to have a characteristic from birth for it to be worthy of human rights? Bye bye protections on religious grounds, age grounds, martial grounds, even maternity

This mug is clearly branded to let you know it is endorsing Friends the television series and not Friends, the social concept

Massimo Cellino wanted the credit, and #LUFC fans wanted a good local left-back. But Charlie Taylor wanted the Premier League. From A-Z since 1992, and big-time Charlie:

Burglar says asking occupants for use permission would 'kill' the housebreaking industry.

My pal the footballer…Some more of Tony Levison’s Albert Johannesson photos. Tony is the little lad in the photos taken in the early 60s. His dad owned Project records on the same Harehills parade as Big Jack’s shop so got to know a lot of the players. #LUFC #LS65 #ALAW #60sLeeds #Leeds

ASAW review of the #lufc v Spurs match. The listener question askers probably aren't as handsome as the Bournemouth review askers but ya can't have everything

We can mute a thread here, now we've gotta be able to follow a thread, cos I need alerts for this juicy one #speirgorm

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

"As the US author Ta-Nehisi Coates recently said of the Democrats, “if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy”. The same applies to the Labour government."

This whole section really.

The GRA was passed in 2015 with very little fanfare following years of courageous campaigning by trans people. We have yet to see any negative ramifications in society - and we won't. We simply *cannot* have a President of Ireland who speaks about trans women or their human rights in this way.

Regarding the €3300 reportedly owed to a former tenant of his, Jim Gavin tells @aine-lawlor.bsky.social that he 'does not have all the information to date' and that he is 'looking into it' #RTETWIP repeats at 3, 6:30 and 10 on the news channel and at 23:10 on @rteone.rte.ie #presidentialdebate

The sound you can hear is hundreds of politicians, from county councillors to TDs to senators, paying off every last bit of arrears they owe to their tenants

The risible thing about these "AI = people" posts is that there would be a philosophical dilemma if we encountered truly sentient AI. There are roughly one million sci-fi stories on this very topic. But they're doing all this for autocomplete. They're doing this for a spellcheck that can't spell.

I booted up windows 98 to defrag my BADAPPLE drive

Struijk unlucky today with the two deflections that didn't help Darlow. Calvert-Lewin's shot near the end took a little deflection before Spurs keeps saved. A little better luck and those fine margins go another way and #lufc get some points. Can't wait for the international break now to be over now

This is some feisty stuff #lufc

Ampadu seemed to be amused by whatever the Spurs supporters were saying to him when he was taking that throw in. I'm sure it was something nice, like a lovely compliment #lufc

Jesus wept.

Got 70% and shoulda done better on the #lufc club quiz ahead of the Spurs match www.riddle.com/embed/share/...

The steadily growing population of rare lesser horseshoe bats in the shed (roughly 100) attests to the level of flying insect life in the forest outside, since each bat catches around 3,000 per night. Healthy nature depends on healthy, wild, functioning *ecosystems*. Rewilding delivers that. 🌏

A massive loss to us all. His care for and wonder at both nature and the Irish language was a great gift that he shared with us all

Albert Johanneson’s 1963 wedding to Jamaican pharmacist Norma Comrie. Looks like Grenville Hair there too, wonder if he was best man?When you watch this footage it’s so sad to think how the story ended. 1/2 #LUFC #LS65 #ALAW #MOT

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

Leave aside the Connolly campaign. Consider all the people who go through garda vetting. That is a significant bloc of the population- volunteer parents helping kids in sports, at scouts, in charities. Will that police data leak if the Gardaí want to intervene in a political campaign in the future?

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I’m sorry, but Sex Matters is an extremist hate group. Here is Maya Forstater complaining that the updated Scottish schools guidance that bans all trans pupils from gender-aligned toilets is STILL not good enough, because it doesn’t mandate “outing” trans kids. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

👏 #LUFC is honoured to announce Johnny Giles has been given a Lifetime Achievement Award for his services to the club

Got my performance review.

You have to say that's magnificent #lufc

Paul Nolan has finally been jailed. He has spent the last 18 months harassing and intimidating asylum seekers and posting evidence of his crimes online under his own name. Glad to see this happen but unsure why it took so long. jrnl.ie/6827359

This thread is great

This threaded garlic fest is happening right now

The secret to a long marriage is to be as horny for your partner every day as the Irish Times is for John Boyne.

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

Smears and threats against lawyers representing people seeking asylum have been ramping up. “Solicitors play a vital role in the administration of justice and any threat to them is an attack on the legal rights of every person,” said a Law Society spokesperson.

30 years ago today: Tony Yeboah uncorks The Finest Thunderbastard In The History Of Thunderbastards.

In June 2002, Avril Lavigne claimed that “five years from now” you would see the titular Sk8er Boi “rockin’ up MTV,” but by June 2007, MTV had replaced its full schedule with reality programming and aired no music videos. In this TED Talk, I will
