SILENCED!

even these objectively mad times, it’s crazy that the chinese can create a highly successful company like TikTok and the Americans can just swoop in and steal it

On one side, Ireland Inc falling over itself to give awards to Barack Obama and flog the capital to US tourists visiting for NFL spectaculars. On the other, our future President naming the US an imperial power. Bravo. www.rte.ie/news/politic...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

is it time to bring back the butter vouchers? kerrygold prices are out of control. bought some glenstal instead. 50 cents cheaper. #speirgorm

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Dutch late night TV has its take

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

me keeping up with america’s current affairs the last few days

The last 48 hours have been surreal here in Kathmandu! Nepal’s youth recently started a viral online campaign exposing and targeting corrupt politicians & their children’s lavish lifestyles while the rest were struggling! Rattled, they tried banning social media altogether and all hell broke loose!

Linking paracetamol use by mothers during pregnancy to autism is the latest lie from RFK and his bunch of pricks - it’s basically the only form of pain relief women can take during pregnancy- they want to heap ‘blame’ onto them and for them to suffer even more. I hope the worst for that man

when Google killed their search engine did they also kill their spam filters in gmail. might be time for a new email address which i thought id have gmail until I die @newsfromgoogle.bsky.social

you need to ask the people of Britain since Conor McGregor is in fact, British.

I dug into the Israeli entities that have received EU funding. Here’s what I found - www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

Israel received twice the funding from the European Innovation Fund than Ireland and more 2/3 of all #EU countries combined Outrageous that an apartheid settler-colonial state currently carrying out genocide gets so much EU money as part of Horizon. #Spéirgorm old.reddit.com/r/ireland/co...

brought the kids to their favourite Eddie Rockets for an end of summer “treat” but my 6 year old couldn’t understand why they didn’t have K Pop Demon Hunters on the jukebox 🫠

Is there a more disgusting sleazebag in the world than Tony Blair.

i sometimes worry about my parenting/perimenopausal induced brain fog and then i see shit like this and remember i’m actually fine

“When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.” www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds. Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

The genocide in Gaza will be burned into the conscience of generations and it will be the first thing they will think about when someone utters “Israel”, not because of some supposed uniqueness but because they saw it with their own eyes, live-streamed, on a daily basis for months on end.

A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

EU food regulation: Parmigiano Reggiano can only be grown in a certain area of Italy. The cows must be fed grass or hay only. Start making it within a day of milking. The wheel must be the same size, and aged for a year. US food regulation: I probably wouldn't eat the radioactive shrimp if I was u

Just reading about a doctor called Paddy Randles in Navan in the 1960s who wrote to all the newspapers to raise awareness of the number of his young patients with injuries from corporal punishment at school. He was denounced from the pulpit and had the tyres on his car slashed.

I see Róisín Murphy’s doubled down then

‘Rising fascism.’ ‘We’re descending into fascism.’ ‘In danger of surrendering to fascism.’ Guys, you’ve got concentration camps, secret police, people being dragged into vans and disappearing, a government that ignores the courts and political opponents being physically attacked. That’s fascism.

🇵🇸Translation of Anas’s last testament: Read every word and feel it Anas was the voice and eye of Gaz@, Anas was a father, a journalist who did his job with pride, Anasa always risked his life to deliver the truth to everyone, Anasa did everything to deliver what is happening to his people,

just a reminder of this excellent article by mint press about Bono, U2 and his “activism”. Written in 2022. if you haven’t read it you really should.... www.mintpressnews.com/frontman-emp...

One day.

i actually just read that u2 social media post. what an utter disgrace Bono is 🤮

I know there’s a lot of really terrible people in the world right now doing really terrible things but bono still manages to rank among the worst

If Irish Times,Indo,Examiner, RTE, etc aren't running with headlines(not just articles) but headlines,if their journalists aren't writing articles and columns back to back about this new execution of journalists in Gaza,they are failing completely in their solidarity and their professions.

The Israeli military just killed him. (Look at the photo caption)

One of the greatest journalists of all time. May his killers see justice one day.

Anas Al-Sharif who never stopped, even for a minute, exposing Israel’s crimes in Gaza. He also exposed deaths by falling aid. Rest in Peace Anas Al-Sharif, you were one of my favorite Gazan journalists

Anas Al-Sharif murdered. i know we need to find the words but sometimes, at least for a moment, there are none 😔

#BREAKING | Chaos following Israeli massacre targeted Al-Jazeera journalists’ tent, killing four journalists in an initial toll, in front of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

The black market trade in rhino horns is driving the species to near extinction. Now, scientists at a rhino orphanage in the bushveld of South Africa are trying to protect them from poaching in a rather surprising way. @johnyangtv.bsky.social reports.

New data centre secures planning permission in Dublin, absurdly arguing that being powered mainly by on-site gas turbines means it will “play a part in Ireland’s decarbonisation strategy” - it’s the most deceitful yet common argument thrown out there. www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/data...

love this. someone survey Ireland. glad to say i only do a few of these things (especially garlic bread with a really good lasagne al forno - food of the gods - sorry Italy!)

This piece by Sonia Harris Pope in the Irish Times is worth reading. I can only imagine the fear of real antisemitism, plus the going against the people you love - I admire anyone who can go against the www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

NEW: A Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contract leader is in a biker club seeking to fight "Islamic Extremism." One chapter held an anti-Ramadan pig roast. The US contractor — who's supposed to help deliver aid to Palestinians — once hailed Israel as "God’s Chosen Nation." @zeteo.com
