Ok see ya bye.

Bingo.

Diplomatic incompetency

Nature is healing.

Well there were other options but the Empire took them.

Were Were those the only two options

Just on the train going past two horses that have fallen out.

my beautiful bride says I spend too much time on social media. oh great and now the priest is agreeing with her

Apple needs to explain this highly irregular conduct.

Trump now ordering naval blockade of Vatican City, also unaware that it is landlocked.

one immediate dramatic consequence of the Hungarian result: Magyar has promised to repair relations with the EU and unblock a €90bn EU loan for Ukraine

Fuck Orbán. Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump.

An underrated soft skill to develop is to understand that if you have nothing to add to a conversation that you can just not say anything.

Reform UK donor linked to sanctioned Iranian conglomerate A churchwarden behind a £200,000 gift to Nigel Farage’s party is the director of a company cited in French intelligence memos

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

it's much worse than that

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Very happy to donate to the Muslim Sisters of Éire who feed the unhoused week in week out. Only takes a minute msoe.ie/donate/

I'm back on Saturday afternoon and I'm bringing some paddling, disco gospel, breathy sketching, skiing, sexy skank and more in-between. I'd love for you to join me. Bring dancing shoes 🪩 #TSH lovewillsavetheday.fm

A group of Muslim women who feed Dublin's homeless week in, week out, attacked by fuel protestors. I think we see who they are now.

Start confiscating £250,000 tractors and watch the rest of them move.

Insta post from our local garage. I love a good protest, but we are now out of fuel. Who does it affect more now? Busy farmers, fishermen, hauliers, local food producers, yes, but elderly, sick, carers, disabled, child minders, working class, and all the women who run everything around here.

Please see the post on Muslim Sisters of Éire's facebook page. Shame on these feral thugs, they are far from patriots. If you'd like to donate to the Muslim Sisters of Éire to help them feed our homeless - msoe.ie/donate/ www.facebook.com/muslimsister... #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

Ohhhh. There it is. Got it.

Hang it in The Louvre.

Reposting because of a typo: There's a real concern - because this is not the only story - that the PSNI is not able to live up to the goals in its VAWG action plan. Legislation and training can't undo deeply held assumptions that see institutions believe men over women.

I think that the last 24 hours have also shown that @zackpolanski.bsky.social had a far more realistic grasp of the state of NATO than the right-wing Labour Atlanticists trying smear him. Atlanticism is over. A strong Europe and ending fossil fuel dependency are the key to security now.

I absolutely loathe these people. Not just cos they’re infiltrated by the far-right and conspiracy theorists, but also because they only ever show up for their own narrow self-interest. When have they ever shown solidarity with literally any group in society other than themselves?

The art of the deal

The loud aggressive litigant pulls the case and pays indemnity costs to the other party, and enters into a compromise which leaves the other party far better off than before the case was brought. Bullying and boasting, but based on blundering and bombast.

lol at Translink

France has sold off the last of its gold held in the US Federal Reserve and now holds all its gold in Paris. German groups are now pressuring the government to repatriate its own gold.

Someday...

Photos from today's rally and counter-demo are up on the website. brendanjharkin.myportfolio.com/coleraine-fa...

Ride and Slowdive also featured before local shoegazers get all angsty.

There will inevitably be media quotes after today's rally in Coleraine where the organisers will insist there is no racist motivation to their movement. This is the name of the original facebook group which was set to private because screenshots of hateful discussions were being posted elsewhere.

For work reasons I’ve often had to read every NI newspaper cover to cover for years on end. We’re talking hundred and hundreds of times, thousands and thousands of articles. This is still the worst word-salad of half baked gibberish I’ve ever encountered: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Why is it called a rolling pin? To me pin implies small, not a big lump of a thing.

Yeah I’m not buying that.
