In the absence of any real person who is being hypocritical in their response to two different events, here is someone I have made up who is doing that, enjoy

Always remember my da coming home and saying to me chris never get a job. Why didnt I listen

This is disgusting treatment of the Flotilla activists, the woman being abused at the start of the video is Irish woman Catriona Graham. Our government cannot continue to stand by as apartheid Israel kidnaps, assaults and incarcerates its citizens, it must impose sanctions now.

on Ian Penman's 'Erik Satie Three Piece Suite' utopiadeferred.substack.com/p/the-bronze...

Catriona has worked for more than a decade now in many ways to advance migrant/refugee rights, women's rights, children's rights etc. (in Brussels and in Ireland) She has long been a passionate advocate for those in need. She is also a talented musician (we were in orchestra together).

Family aura farm bankruptcies are surging

On the day that Irish citizens are abused in captivity after being kidnapped by Israel, the Irish government plans to vote against our #VoteToSanctionIsrael bill. Words are not enough, action must be taken in the face of genocide. We have to redouble our pressure to stop Irish complicity.

Its a v v good book about a v v impressive guy, everyone should have read

If the populist trend continues with primaries skewing more towards the median American 'Georgist with SS tattoo and dodgy reddit comments' will be put in the shade before too long

I love to render unto Caesar

We all like a bon mot or late life anecdote opening a biographical essay, some faux pas with t.s. eliot before: 'a was born in 19XX to two members of a declining New England aristocracy,' but theres an arms race now towards more and more asynchrony, kinking the timeline 4 or 5 times, not a fan

I really wish the press would stop leading with the alleged shoplifting. it's not just ugly framing, it's also eliding the facts. he died after he was detained and restrained by security guards. not allegedly detained and restrained, definitely detained and restrained

Good piece

my only comment on the Guardian top 100 books list is that it's very, very English

Who voted for MANSFIELD PARK?? Sickos!

Reading books about late New Labour, particularly under Brown, and I think its credible to say there was a kind of coup between the BoE, finance, Murdoch and the rest of the press to get him out in favour of whoever would start shredding the state

That guardian novel list is whack. Almost all Austen, Woolf, five Dickens, Thackery (!?) get outta here

Don't Honk At Me I'm Listening To Glenn Gould The Goldberg Variations 1981

piercing insights from nyt. "Westerners aren't used to the ancient chinese art of 'making agreements and then expecting they be followed through on'. A fascinating yet inscrutable culture."

I found this book to be very very good. A newish capitalist strata coming out of Britain's residual outposts + limitless resources required for USian death machine extremely dialectical outcome, would recommend

Funny the lesson western states - perhaps Spain aside - are drawing from China, the ass falling out of the deflationary social spending & loose capital markets model is: we need to pollute more

There must be literally thousands of people in Galway suited to this role

Not much pride or even recognition on here for the first Bsky radicalised would-be assassin.

Didn't realise SF had tabled a motion against the three-day wait before. their opposition this time seemed to be around what they saw as bad definitions of foetal conditions which may lead to death and decriminalising practitioners in those instances

comparable figures for the US (as reported by Yougov in 2025) are 63-56 (idk if i believe them)

I'm sure there are more immediate issues with dating men as a woman but imagine hitting the dating pool with all candidates running -30% for INT, WIS and arguably CHR, that is tough

This just isn't true according to pretty comprehensive oecd data from 2024. The US in fact slightly below average of other similar countries in comprehension of both verbal and maths problems, and standards have declined in the past ten years.

The Irish Times made the road safety opinions of a man who killed a child with their car their "letter of the day” (it warns about the dangers of cyclists) I think this might be the most insane newspaper in the Anglosphere

Love the perspective! Totally get it. 😊

"i've seen things you people might believe" - the optimistic bladerunner

In many industries, there are critical periods, determined by the nature of the process, during which certain definite results must be obtained. For instance, if a flock of sheep has to be shorn, or a field of wheat to be cut and

Corey Robin has given Sven Beckert’s new book (“Capitalism: A Global History”) what might be politely described as “quite a kicking”. Good grief. www.thenation.com/article/societ…

Shamefully the Dáil votes to continue to force women in tragic circumstances to travel to access abortions. The vast majority of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael despite a free vote joined Aontú and Independent Ireland against abortion rights. Sinn Féin abstained on women's rights.
