Claiming antisemitism is a serious problem in Ireland, Martin and Harris cited an organisation accused of major factual distortions – and whose vice president, an ex-IDF general, had to cancel a trip to South Africa for fear of a war crimes arrest. www.ontheditch.com/martin-and-h...

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

To call Chaim Herzog a hero is less about the past than the kind of politics our leaders wish to obstruct in the present – a politics of solidarity that sees continuity between the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 and ongoing genocide in Gaza today. www.ontheditch.com/comment-in-t...

I had the real pleasure of having lunch with Miriam Margolyes today, and as we left the restaurant, an old man started playing Hava Nagila loudly on his phone and calling Miriam a “self hating Jew!” - presumably for her stance on Palestine. It was upsetting but she brushed it off, undeterred

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Irish Examiner... #Aras25 #FeckOffIona

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

a single billionaire is asking for the same amount of money it costs the irish state annually to fund 2000 artists on its basic income pilot scheme so that he can host a golf event *turns slowly to look at camera* www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

We're going to see a lot of bullshit in the coming days and weeks about "causes of autism", and most will be based on flawed, over-interpreted observational studies (1/n)

Reminder: Article Il Section 4: If the president is impeached for treason, the vice president and all civil officers shall be removed.

This one has LAYERS

Probably the most horrifying of the possibilities I’ve read so far is that the people in the boat were migrants being smuggled out of Venezuela. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

gluing batteries in phones should be illegal I have a perfectly functioning phone, all it needs is a new battery but now I'm scared it will blow up because someone decided it's okay to glue it and the same companies don't give chargers in the box because "eco friendly"

Today marks 10 years since we lost the great, dear Oliver Sacks. His words, his life, his spirit...his love...live on. May you rest in music, good doctor.

Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services

It's not just a few organizers. Everyone who has ever studied map projections knows this fact. It's a fact, not an opinion.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

EXCLUSIVE 🚨 | Our very own Ben Mclaine sat down with @sangitamyska.bsky.social for her first interview since leaving LBC. Premieres tonight at 7pm, do not miss 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlrH...

Dermot Desmond doesn't know anything about public transport or AI, I understand the financial pressures that lead to papers printing press releases but this is, like, utterly worthless

We told you they were going to do project 2025 and it’s 2025 and they’re doing project 2025

Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵

Scientific organizations (or any really): please be aware that if you host international conferences in the US, you will be excluding quite a few people from this point on, for whom the risk is just not worth it.

One reaps what one sows.

... and then they came for James O'Brien And we laughed, for he deserved it and did nothing to help Sangita

Oireachtas committee hears the anti-semitism card played in support of Israel as Alan Shatter brazenly misrepresents the bill on trade with Israeli-backed settlements in the Occupied Territories as a ‘boycott Jews bill’. A charge that’s both unfair and false. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

It is false to claim that products from the West bank and East Jerusalem are "Israeli goods". As a matter of international law, this is occupied territory; and according to the ICJ's advisory opinion, that occupation is illegal (which is the reason for the Irish bill)

How we've failed the promise of making “genocide” a crime

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?

I encourage you to watch the whole episode He explains his disguise too youtu.be/NjmXzFQl4xI?...

“I had indicated no AI for war crimes, and it had logos of Microsoft, Amazon, Google Cloud, Palantir, and Cisco; …I removed content that mentioned Gaza, Palestine, Israel. I edited “genocide” to “war crimes.”… removed a slide that connected Meta with illegal data torrenting practices.”

On the plus side: we're returning to that blissed-out period in the noughties when a £ was worth two $ and we could holiday like kings in the US. On the down side: We can't actually go to the US because they'll arrest us.

As a Jew I am far, FAR more alarmed by our institutions equating me and other Jews with the IDF, who are responsible for the murder of over 80,000 Palestinians, by dint of framing any critique against the IDF as ‘antisemitism.’ Linking all Jews to the IDF is *actual* fucking antisemitism.

Two powerful telescopes examined the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed by humans, hundreds of days after the burst was first detected. What did they see? aasnova.org/2025/06/30/f... 🔭🧪

It's weird - given all that's going on, like yer actual war in europe - that the UK PM has time to repeatedly comment on a music festival. But then, in the darkest hours of WWII - Winston Churchill was trying to ban this briliant movie 🤷‍♂️

What kind of ignoramus, in an article on a 60% rebound in Covid cases, puts subhead with "since end of pandemic"? Pandemic still ongoing, obviously; even WHO says only that the "emergency phase" is over.

“The court has found that punishing someone for sharing facts is illegal; I was punished for my political opinion”. Journalist Antoinette Lattouf wins her Australian employment tribunal against ABC News. She was unlawfully fired, after she posted a Human Rights Watch report about Gaza.

Good questioning involves asking clear, focused, and purposeful questions that encourage deeper thinking and understanding. @theage

"Oh Greta Thunberg will eat a sandwich but won't support bombing civilians? Hypocrite much????" Alan Shatter has, it seems, gone completely mad
