I have to say I really learned a lot about people I knew by their insistence on posting on X.

How about Jim O' Callaghan and all govt TDs/bodies/orgs get off X. Start with that. Like that would be one easy and simple step that would have instant effect.

If you wouldn’t post on Stormfront you shouldn’t post on X.

The only way to deal with this is to ban X in Ireland. There’s no amount of imploring that will persuade them to adjust the algorithm or moderate content.

This is so mad it took me a second to wrap my head around it.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

I mean, the partner of one of the alleged arsonists seemed to have shared an invite to it? But yeah, anything he knows nothing about must be false. The ego on this delusional man

Some of us have been crying out about a campaign of far-right terror for years. Now we have this: "Right-wing extremist terror group planned destruction of Galway Mosque, court hears" www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co... #RejectTheFarRight

In a rush to get back from a long interview blew a kiss to my male source when saying goodbye 😭

Reporting on the xenophobia faced by a small masjid in Hardwicke Lane, @shamimmalekmian.bsky.social from @dublininquirer.com drew on the report's finding of the challenges posed by limited and unsafe spaces for faith-based communities in north inner-city /3 www.dublininquirer.com/on-hardwicke...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

One of those calls you don’t forget in a hurry… www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Kz...

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

A bunch of gowls tripping over themselves speculating over an active investigation, cause some SF TD was talking about gangs..Their intention is, of course, to engage in bad-faith denialism of possible racist motives, before we know anything at all.

Conservatives in the US right now lol

So those most likely to be held at fault for the perception of a dangerous city center are actually most likely to be victims of what crime there is...

There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we @dublininquirer.com looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful – so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/

People with darker skin over-represented among crime victims, new survey suggests. The City Centre Crime Victim Survey was commissioned by Dublin Inquirer and carried out by Amarách Research. Read more here www.dublininquirer.com/people-with-...

Mamdani in New York: "New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant" Me an immigrant in Dublin:

Going to be a very nervous 24-48 hours waiting for test results for this beautiful boy 😭

"YOU'RE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN DEBATE ON IMMIGRATION" If your standard of debate on immigration leads to IPAS centres being set on fire with people inside, then yes, I am trying to shut down your debate on immigration.

Funny how when people talk about ‘reforming’ the ECHR, they always mean removing rights from people they don’t like.

Listening to Tánaiste Simon Harris's comments on the way into Cabinet this morning - accusing parties on the left of the 'extraordinary' move of 'trying to shut down debate' on immigration. (1/2)

no, I think it’s incredibly good actually that Bluesky gives people opt-in tools that allow them to use social media *without* constantly getting into stupid fights with strangers.

Prime Minister Dick Schoof of the Netherlands announced during a visit to Cairo on Sunday that his country would return an ancient sculpture to Egypt after the artifact was determined to have been looted and illegally transported to a city in the Netherlands.

i unironically think the extra hour of sleep on one day is worth it being mega depressively dark early for 5 months

Every Irish politician needs to get off this racist’s website *immediately*. There is no excuse. #speirgorm

Wow the IT actually printed my letter #speirghorm

Was reading my book, and got to this line from the protagonist, and couldn't help it lol

For those keeping count, Simon Harris "took to social media" to decry the shooting of Charlie Kirk the following day. He's gone cycling today, apparently.

Coward who won't put their name to their comments.

Ugh

You rarely see a lovely heron perched on the arm of a tree 🥹❤️

Guess which arsehole who opines about anything he knows dogshit about and who is seemingly very worried about crime is silent about an attempt to burn people alive: yes nwl.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children. www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Another one from the "protect women and children" folks

Silent memorial for Nilay Ateşoğlu planned for 9 November (both her birthday and the day she died) at Galway's Salthill prom.

RIP to David Bellos, a great translator, teacher, scholar and popularizer. Here's a charming little essay about what he learned from his landmark translation of Georges Perec's 'Life: A User's Manual'. online.wsj.com/article/SB10...

Faith Based Communities in the North-East inner-City are providing essential supports to the community, and yet they are constantly being pushed out or ignored. To read more of the report this article is written on click the link below! www.jcfj.ie/research/fai...

The mask always slips with these guys when one of their own is accused. Every. Single. Time.

A representation by those with the power to bind as to the absolute accuracy of legal advice by those professing specialist skill on which representation they intend that consumers will rely, you say...?

Day 10182 day of nwl saying no to self-awareness

Last Halloween. It was fun to be the English breakfast balaclava UK candidate. Still have the balacalava but haven't used it since.
