"everyone has to get back to the office because the important thing about business is human interaction" is dying, but "white collar jobs will be replaced by AI agents within 18 months" cannot yet be born; in this interregnum a variety of morbid symptoms appear.

I share this only to help those contemplating whether to tweet "I support Palestine Action".

Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it. But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy. Both present major threats to public life.

Just going to leave this here

For anybody interested in an explanation of the Palestine Action case, we recorded a podcast in November discussing it and, in particular, the serious concerns we had from a free speech, free association, and democratic perspective. youtu.be/tKN4Wk2SEyQ?...

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

There's a doorway protected by two AI guards. One always says "Absolutely! It's not just X it's Y! " and the other always says "For sure! It's not just Y it's X!" And the question is, how do you most effectively seize the wealth of and enact retributive justice against our tech overlords?

Ireland, 2050. A family is huddled around a wind-up torch, mylar blankets drawn close as they bob about on a makeshift raft, on a lake that used to be a hurling pitch. Bedraggled little faces look up, expectantly. "Grandad, tell us again about the Dry Times, before the rains came..."

Very strong statement by Man United, fair play to the club.

The #FAI needs to grow a backbone, refuse to play & put pressure on UEFA. All teams should until genocidal #Israel is banned. Palestinian footballers have been murdered for goodness sake. Show some courage, stop the complicity. It’s not even a vital tournament.

They simply can't help themselves. It's utterly pathological.

his tendency toward bullshit and white supremacy should be included within the first three paragraphs of anything written about the man

Ireland, Day 1056 of The Rain. Everything is saturated to the grey of the sky. Moss covers every surface. The outdoors sounds like constant static. The entire staff of Met Éireann is on mental health leave. I’ve forgotten what dry clothes feel like. It is still a yellow weather alert. #SpeirGorm

P Pearse Passport application

The President of the United States of America, folks.

Irish football finds itself in an extraordinary situation, as they are now set to play an opponent whom both the FAI membership and the Irish manager have called to be banned. jrnl.ie/6955699

if you’re prime minister, it is kind of astonishing to say your legacy will be winning the election. that’s the job interview mate

If, as is likely, the Republic of Ireland are forced to play against Israel in the Nations League in Dublin, then not a single Irish fan should go. Send a message to both UEFA and the Irish government - if you insist, we will boycott. Pass the Occupied Territories Bill. Now.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Wait for it.. 😂

‘Jim Ratcliffe has moved to Monaco to save £4 billion worth of tax in this country one might question whether he is the patriot we need to comment on this issue' Home Office minister Jake Richards speaks to #BBCBreakfast Ratcliffe claimed UK had been "colonised by immigrants"

I dunno, maybe it's me who's crazy, but it strikes me that it's better *not* to live life as someone whose passing will be celebrated with an immense global outpuring of joy.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Why 'island of strangers' and the 'incalculable damage' of immigration (as stated by Starmer) was so catastrophically wrong.... in one tweet.

Could we please stop reporting Elon’s SF scenario ideas as if any of them are going to happen.

One of the many things that’s frustrating about Elon Musk is that he says all these things that are basically Sci Fi but in no way has he ever engaged with any form of Sci Fi media that have discussed these ideas.

The most powerful man in the world is a fascist, pædo-adjacent billionaire. The richest person in the world—who owns the most important global news-aggregation source—is a fascist, pædo-adjacent billionaire. So, if you're a fascist billionaire, why not just say what you like? You're safe as houses.

Wait, ICE flights are refueling in Ireland?

he's sold space catapults to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook

Total timeline cleanse. The wonderful video, and also the comments.

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

Whoopsy-doodle, Ms. Bondi.

Toby Young, Matthew Elliott, Daniel Moylan, Claire Fox, Daniel Hannan, Michael Gove, Therese Coffey (a Brexit convert), Paul Goodman, John Moynihan, Ruth Lea, Stewart Jackson, Michael Hintze, Charles Moore, David Frost, Theo Agnew; & now John Redwood. Rewarded for the Brexit calamity with peerages.

"I believe he was pardoned." AG Bondi's response to whether or not a Jan 6th rioter who yelled "Kill 'em!" at Capitol Hill police now works for her. The contempt by this administration for the law and basic human decency is nauseating.

Jesus

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

This confirmed by the Taoiseach in the Dáil just now – a significant backtrack by the Government in the midst of an acute housing shortage, now allowing more properties to stay in use for short-term lettings without needing to register/amend their property designation as 'commercial'

Okay I have now been blocked by the world’s self-styled foremost expert on tear gas

lol this fruitcake

Incredible really, that apart from being an absolute nazi hiding in plain sight, this guy is also just monumentally wrong about the most basic things.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance "People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense” Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

I think opinions like this should be embarassing. Like thinking that beer should be drunk out of a mug

Policy by Pub Bore. He's just that spittle-flecked Hate Guy in the corner of your done-up bar saying that modern beer is horrible and anyone under 50 is lazy and a loser. As beatable a politician as there'll ever be.

Remember when Britain had Prime Ministers that lasted longer than your average incarnation of Doctor Who?

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Love to see this. As with any country that slips into fascism, the good people outnumber the bad — and will win in the end.
