The UK is effectively criminalising a sentence because has an Arabic word. Intifada just means uprising. The Warsaw Uprising, for example, is just ‘Intifadat Warsaw’ in Arabic. Our very identities are being effectively criminalised. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This wonderful made video by Rón Maguire highlights how integral The Complex has been for DCAF's growth #SaveTheComplex

The key facebook group which was helping narrow down a list of houses to attack and has been unrepentant in supporting the rioting is run by people from Ballymena. It is still up and nobody behind it facing any charges, of course.

A fascinating article about the attempted murder of the not-even-very-shocking game HORSES that gets at why it was deplatformed based on the same "rules" that no one in the industry remembered in the case of many other games. aftermath.site/horses-indie...

Doing my annual thing of telling everyone I know to buy and play one particular PC indie game, in this case Metal Garden by @aleksandraht.bsky.social - a really fun, atmospheric little FPS with some great level design

I wonder if real Irish filmmakers know that Udárás na Gaeltachta are not only running a competition for “AI filmmaking”, but have decided to name it after “storytelling”. Ffs. filmfreeway.com/AnTograScealai

What if instead of killing millions of people in pointless war we just kill the handful of guys constantly trying to force us into it

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

This is such a powerful image

This government loves to redo an independent reivew that was too independent and didn't produce the result they wanted

I am now the proud owner of a nice big print of this - and you could be too!!

Ofcom refuses to investigate GB News over a call to shoot and starve disabled benefits claimants. The watchdog says the channel has a right to "freedom of expression" even if it means calling on air for disabled people to be killed bylinetimes.com/2025/08/21/o...

"Too Big To Fail"

Edmond Bille (1878-1959), "Une danse macabre", 1919

Good to know my stain on the silence of this horrible world continues in some small way.

the fantasy of an apocalypse wherein what was hidden will be revealed and justice finally rendered feels so quaint in a world where nothing was hidden to begin with and demons just thrive and thrive

bsky.app/profile/apop... Been thinking about how much I like the title "No, Mean City!" since I first saw this post. (also Andrew's Comics are class so this will doubtless be class)

Absolutley obscene. Where is the Justice Minister? As English Councils instruct the removal of union flags from public streetlighting, NI public bodies, the PSNI and DoJ benefit from each others' strategic inertia. Extremists pose a constant and serious danger to children here. [1/3]

Hope Not Hate features Mark Payne, while the Justice Minister and PSNI look away.

"Blood spilled in Sudan can be seen from space. Nobody can feign ignorance about what’s going on" [Guardian US]

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

Happy Halloween!

Nazis aren't known for their intelligence, but they can tell the difference between a true believer vs a weak politician who is caving in. This will not go well for Harris - not because online lefties are disgusted, but because the fash will never stop squeezing now. www.rte.ie/news/2025/10...

More evidence that the UK Government not only forgets that NI exists, it also forgets that the Common Travel Area exists. This is just a remarkable story of benefits being withdrawn from hundreds of families for using the CTA amid a performative benefit crackdown: share.google/NSWTG5JNYMrz...

In honour of the Halo Remake Reveal, here's my blog post about how doing these is cheap'n'nasty and a colossal point miss. tbh if you look at Halo's visuals and see something limited by the tech of its time you're artistically illiterate

A day where law and justice feel far apart. But criminal law really struggles to function at 53 years of remove, when so many witnesses are dead. Injustice was assured when it took this long for the state to recognise its wrongdoing and start proceedings: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/...
