I don’t ascribe to all that @paulmurphy.pbp.ie espouses, but this video shows how major media outlets misframe political viewpoints.

Been trying to engage people IRL in political discourse with more pragmatism- Listening more than speaking. Something that is scaring the shit out of me is how insidious the far right shit is already. It's spread well beyond the riots and marches. It's popping up everywhere in "polite" company

If you want to see what it actually looks like for someone to be cancelled: Reginald D Hunter ended up in court accused of antisemitism for criticising Israel: no newspaper features or magazine interviews or TV specials, and is now playing small venues at the West Dublin Comedy Fest: support him!

I could watch this on a loop/repeat all day. 👏 well done South Park

Why are Poland still trading with Belarus? That country is literally their enemy and would most certainly be a willing assistant in a Russian invasion

A quick tally of who was responsible for killing each failed Irish presidential campaign: Nick Delehanty ❌ Kieran Cuddihy Joanna Donnelly ❌ Kieran Cuddihy Conor McGregor ❌ Nikita Hand Peter Casey ❌ too much Jameson Gareth Sheridan ❌ his own hubris Maria Steen ❌ Gerard Craughwell Bertie Ahern ❌ CMAT

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

The Dutch rip the hell out of Donald Trump and Disney for the ridiculous Jimmy Kimmel firing. This is what you call Free Speech, Trump.

I can’t remember who originally wrote it, but : “GAA is bogball and stick-badgers, played by farmers and ambitious Gardai” 😂

Possibly controversial opinion: many music lovers look down on synthesisers. This cover of Eurythmics is maybe better or not than the original. But there’s many songwriters and composers who may never have seen their works seen the light of day bc they could never get an orchestra to play their

I’ve just seen Erika Kirk’s speech. I would like to amend my prior statement: my condolences to the Kirks’ children (not wife and children)

“Genocide Jim” just might stick: prepare the Hunger Games cannon, @newschambers.bsky.social

His message is/was worth far more than the financial value of the physical object. And as that message was not destroyed (digital photos of it are spreading far and wide), the vandals in the authorities didn’t destroy anything: in fact they probably accentuated Banksy’s point

I've been watching rugby for twenty years now so I've given up on trying to give real answers when someone asks me the rules. "What was that penalty for?" "The ref sensed that the winger's soul was impure."

This dripping, syphilitic canker sore on the arsecheek of humanity is charging €970 to live in their house (5km outside Galway) from Monday morning until Friday evening, and then letting it out for another €390 per weekend on AirBnb. The site says they've been a host for five years. We're doomed.

In many western countries, voter opinion overwhelmingly wants more govt action against the Israel ethnic cleansing and forced starvation. The govts are all resisting it. Can anyone point me to an interview where a leading politician actually attempts to justify it?

Finally, we have governments doing what needed to be done: a strongly-worded letter to the authorities
