😂 Spot on

Don’t forget, you’re allowed call fascists fascists

Our mainstream media failed utterly this week to investigate this side of the ‘protests’. This is an excellent analysis, which also points to the good work done by @thejournal.ie

#FuelProtest public expression of people pushed beyond their limits by rising costs, unfulfilled election promises, constrained public services etc Ignore fascists who piled on We should demand equity, equality & sustainable living for all. We need backbone & vision. #FFFG Will never deliver

You may know “a murmuration of starlings,” but did you know that a group of crows is called “a murder” and peacocks “an ostentation”? How groups of birds got their names (thanks to a forgotten medieval woman), with magnificent vintage illustrations: www.themarginalian.org/2016/04/11/b...

Cillian Murphy is the GOAT. Not surprised he sang and played rhythm guitar in The Sons of Mr. Green Genes (the band named for Frank Zappa Song) in the ‘90s. Here he is at his most relaxed 😎. Best Cillian Murphy interview ever 💚 #SpeirGorm

Almost a week on from the bombing of a school in Iran that killed dozens of children and staff members, no one has yet to claim responsibility for the incident. Here's what the US and Israel have said about it. jrnl.ie/6977044

Greetings from Kyiv. I came to the railway station to visit an exhibition — and instead saw this: a concert by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. Wow. I want you to hear this.

Hello—Is a River Alive? is published in paperback in the UK today. It’s dedicated to the rivers & their guardians. Thanks to all who’ve supported its journey into the world: read it, talked about it, got in touch. It’s @waterstones.bsky.social book of the month. “Hope is the thing with rivers…”

Again the passive voice. Sick of it. A man died after a coward hit him with their car and fled the scene. His life wasn't worth your 5 mins of a free adrenaline rush. A pox on the person that killed him. Why can't we be safe going for a walk or cycle where we live.

Spain’s Foreign Minister Albares, calls out Karoline Leavitt on her lie that Spain had agreed to cooperate with the US in its illegal war: “She may be the White House spokesperson, but I am Spain’s Foreign Minister, and I can assure you that our position remains unchanged.”

Brazil revoked a plan to privatize parts of the Tapajós, Madeira and Tocantins after Indigenous protests. Following a 33-day blockade of Cargill’s Santarém port, the government scrapped the grain export initiative.

Great Channel 4 News report on the latest #AMOC monitoring. "Trouble is: there is now growing scientific consensus that the AMOC is weakening." @noc.ac.uk youtu.be/JpOpsMOBsL4?...

The next time you hear some politician blaming pearl mussels or the Habitats Directive for flooding disasters, might be a good time to point this out to to them.

In the first part of the Science of Time series we looked at how our early ancestors made the leap from looking at the sky above to considering its importance in the passage of time. We begin today with a more in-depth look at the work of Sosigenes, the Greek philosopher and astronomer. 🧵1/32

@seagoatscreams.bsky.social how are you my friend? I miss seeing your beautiful works and images on here. Sending hopeful springtide energy to you x

My almost 105 year old abuelita-in-law is VERY excited for Bad Bunny. She came from the island, and for her entire life, she’s been an American citizen! Voted for FDR! 🇵🇷🇺🇸

Ireland has passed the threshold of signatories demanding that the EU suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Many countries have yet to show sufficient support. What is going on? And wow vive la France 🇫🇷 #speirgorm
