Oddly here it turned out that the far right "Ireland Is Full" accounts were all UK-based for some reason

Millions dead from hunger and malnutrition. Billions wasted. Lost and wasted research. Compromised security. Shame on Elon Musk. Blood on his hands and a legacy of failure.

The Trump administration's pressure on European regulators is having an impact, with fewer restrictions on Big Tech and canceled measures. www.wired.com/story/europe...

🎬 This new episode breaks down Kneecap’s new single No Comment… it’s power, satire, and what happens when the state tries to define an artist. This one matters. Watch here: youtu.be/FOqAyEgwS0g?si

👀 Irish data centres are now using 22% of all electricity generated in Ireland, more than all urban homes combined & drawing an unquantified amount (lots) of Ireland’s water capacity Could AI demands be related to recent push to fast-track infrastructure, side-step safeguards & reduce court access?

Ah...Fionnán Sheahan, impartiality personified in a 20ft forehead. If a state construction company had been set up the 1st time it was suggested by PBP-Sol we'd have houses now....and jobs...and less emigration. In an endless loop of people who don't want it done saying it can't be done.

A national laughing stock. @independent.ie

"Affordable homes" "cost-rental" "start-up" are social housing too, tis just the social aspect is more for developers than actual home owners.

Thanks a million to @adhamhocaoimh.bsky.social for interviewing us in this month’s Goo Magazine.

"The far left are just as bad as the far right" is a thing I'd imagine every Government TD believes to be true, and as long as that's the case they'll be unable to take the threat of the far right as seriously as it needs to be taken

People askin how 4 kids nearly gettin burned alive in a racist attack are the same people that say everything is "too woke". So woke that racist & homophobic attacks are increasing. So woke people are bandying around slurs I haven't heard since I was a kid. So woke you can't call a racist a racist.

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

Peace ?

I know I've said this before, but: music

"I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of shit of a human being. The pronouns? Was/were. Because if you talk shit, you will get banged! Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, you piece of shit." 💅🏻 🥂 🎉 Absolutely incredible pure king shit

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

The irony.

What a great inside look into Stephen Kerr's Mise Éire fashfest in Castlebar, Co Mayo today. Far less Irish culture and far more conspiracy theory white supremacy, as expected of course. Excellent article, well worth a read. www.offalyexpress.ie/news/generic...

It really is.

Our pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡 Free Palestine! Free the 6 counties!

I think maybe Hannibal is my idea of how you do a franchise/spin-off series. Don't make it about anything. Ruthlessly reduce it to the essentials: food, sex, death. Make it the world's most expensive longform ASMR experience, then end it with the most ambiguous romantic gesture imaginable. Pefect.

Brent Hinds, former guitarist and co-founder of Mastodon, has died thequietus.com/news/brent-h...

Holy shit. This turned off the bullshit Google AI results. I love it.

‘Jane Doe’ might be my favourite heavy song ever.

The new King Of The Hill is GOOD, I am relieved to say. Heartwarming & wholesome but also angry about the US. I can't get used to New Dale Gribble, sadly, nothing against the voice performer, OG Dale is indelible. Very sad to see Jonathan Joss's credit & recall he was killed in a hate crime. 2025.

Fuck the Hulk Hogan.

THIS WAS A WRESTLING JOKE I LOVE MOCKING THE DEAD WHEN THE DEAD ARE SAPS

Amazing wee chat with an amazing wee act.

apols for guardian link but this piece is far more incisive on the paralyzed Irish state response to Tuam mass grave than anything I have seen in the Irish newspapers (and gives @izzykamikaze.bsky.social due credit too): www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I am thinking about the frozen Watermelon gelato that you can get at Sun Bear Gelato on Dawson Street.

Thanks for listening. We are back on the 6th of August. Tonight's thought leaders...

This incredible woman utterly destroyed my heart, like so many others, with her Tiny Desk performance, and ‘Linger in the Sun’. Remarkable artist.

Our latest single ‘Up and Down’ is now up on Bandcamp, a few days ahead of everywhere else. It’s the top link on our bio. ‘Up and Down’ is from our upcoming mini-album ‘Sons of Dis’ which coming out on cassette on Camellia Sinensis records. #musicsky fierceshook.bandcamp.com/album/sons-o...

EE Presents Plus Minus Ensemble performing Jessie Marino, Bernhard Lang & Sean Clancy with special guest Ultan O’Brien Whelan’s, 01/10/25 billetto.ie/e/plus-minus... 'It is rare to come across a record that baffles, confounds & delights in this way’ (The Quietus) @seanlclancy.bsky.social

100% sound.

I am thinking about a car journey I recently shared with a young American, and the catastrophic stupidity of that kid has made me less hopeful for the rest of them.

"If you believe that what a satirical band who play characters on stage do is more outrageous than the murdering of innocent Palestinians, then you need to give your head a fucking wobble.” We did a wee feature interview ahead of Glastonbury with the Guardian... www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

A reminder that we have more power that we think. We could collectively end businesses like Amazon, Duolingo, Spotify etc if we make less worse choices. A little research will provide options that may be imperfect but are better. Apathy is an enemy that the worst of capitalism relies on.

This. And don’t let the orange bauble distract ye. There are bigger powers at work with those strings. The curtain has clearly been drawn back these days. And still people point at that little gremlin like he has a decision in his empty little head.
