What a special evening. Steal This Story, Please! at Docs Ireland opening night in the QFT Belfast. Made extra special by interviewing the wonderful @democracynow.org and director Tia for DCTV.

At least 3 gay bars in the historic LGBTQ+ district in San Francisco are using face scan tech, often without patrons knowing. This data collection, especially as Trump admin are pushing to generate ‘lists’ of trans people, is highly dangerous. gomag.com/article/san-...

If you are based in the UK, please do consider writing an email to your local library about how important LGBTQ+ books, and representation is. There are several councils in the UK suggesting that books should be banned and that LGBTQ+ books are harmful. This must be challenged at all costs.

I do love the 'is YouTube social media' debate. I assume the BBC's new strategy for YouTube should help it not be classified as such.

As someone who joined twitter at 11 or so, it's okay, the kids turn out fine on social media. I'm an empathetic community driven queer anti-racist anti-fascist socialist who believes in human rights and not genocides... Oh!

Yep, same guy. Mere days apart.

The idea of a curfew on young adults internet usage is wild. Cause where is the line on what websites count? College kids, famous for completing work before the end of business hours.

Ah yes, zero criticism of Musk's machines, you wouldn't want to upset the worlds only trillionaire - for work that isn't conducive to the public good 👀

Oh I do love the UK making crazy policy decisions on a Monday morning

Yes but the employee who got some potential security for their future is not a trillionaire. Hundreds of thousands is so very very far away from trillions.

When Blindboy talked about how this was done a good ways back he was called a conspiracy theorist by more than a few people.

Somehow the UFC thing got even stupider and more corrupt. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Severe thunderstorm watch now in place thru 11 pm. Main timeframe in and around Beltway looks like 6-10 pm. Dangerous lightning, scattered wind gusts to around 70 mph, and isolated hail or a brief tornado all possible. Updates @ capitalweather.com & Capital Weather app.

Now they're fighting... the Weather Channel

The world's first trillionaire did this

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

Seriously 🫠

Rally in Belfast @1pm on Saturday. Together Against Hate.

The cost of living crisis is bad but do you really need a second job when your TD wage is the same as a decent software engineer?

❌ South City ❌ Macken Street remains CLOSED between Grand Canal Street and Hogan Avenue in both directions, as emergency services continue to work on the scene. Their work is made harder by multiple people thinking they can weave around the cones and drive through. Unbelievable!

I'm excited to see France's shift away from Microsoft for a number of reasons. But as someone who has once been denied a job for not having an EDCL in MS products I'm happy to see a spotlight on alternative software.

Three potatoes just fell off the shelf and into a perfect line. What Irish prophecy is this 🫣

Does it have to rain every time I'm about to go for a walk.

The media reports that An Garda Síochána will roll out body-worn cameras nationwide, without publishing the final report on the pilot. It’s not enough to simply say they are useful. We need to see evidence and we need to consider the risks and how they are controlled. www.iccl.ie/news/questio...

I can't be the only millennial raised on the #girlboss who thinks Miranda's portrayal in #DevilWearsPrada2 was weak? You're telling me that 20 years later, she just stands there, spinning around, fed up, given up, with no plan and no non-profit project for her retirement?

Website update vanessagreene.ie

Bitch I know, it's me using it. What do you want, me to purchase a subscription per device to satisfy your desperate need to find more subscribers for your ai training service?!

In other words, the transport minister admits that he outsources transport policy to the transport industry. In exactly the same way that he outsourced housing policy to the property development industry.

I can't believe Devil Wears Prada 2 made me watch Miranda Priestly in a polyester faux leather jacket and essentially cry to a man she's dating on what she should do.

"Between 2010 and the first quarter of 2025, rental prices rose by 27.8 % on average. Rents went up in all EU countries except Greece (-11%). The biggest rises were in Estonia (+220%), Lithuania (+184%), Hungary (+124%) and Ireland (+115%)." www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/en/ar...

FF really think they can get away with turning and pointing a finger at migration now? Between 24 and 25, migration to Ireland dropped, and the number of Irish citizens returning in that group increased. Just stop. Reflect on your failures and do anything but bringing racist retoric in.

Ahead of the latest homelessness figures, the Taoiseach again pointed to the proportion of people from outside Ireland living in emergency accommodation. Opposition parties hit back, branding the comments a "disgrace" and arguing they distract from the wider issues. #VMNews

AI slop really makes you miss 5 minute crafts.

🚂 InterCity, DART and Commuter 🚂 Almost all trains to/from Connolly station are fully suspended due to a regional signalling fault. See irishrail.ie for details.

You can't do that when your party's plan for economic growth is data centres.

Well they could have decided to do that BEFORE we got ourselves into fines from the EU.

A house in the estate I grew up in just went up on my home for 750k. WTF this housing market is insane.

Just in time for the Leaving Cert weather. You really wouldn't want to eat cáca milis on a train 👀🍰 prebookedseat.ie/product/you-...

Don't buy into making a single man a trillionaire. Secondly, this company is not solely about space. He merged XAI (Grok and X) into the company to inflate the value, so you'd also be supporting his fascist, dangerous machines too.

True, though you should go in with a willingness to learn. Unlike some UK councillors recently 😬

🗳️ By-election tallies LIVE! 🚨 🔵 Dublin Central bit.ly/DublinCentral26 🟣 Galway West bit.ly/GalwayWest26 Updates here throughout the day(s)!

Did we not suffer enough watching Google Glass fail?

I think there's a lot more than one party in the UK to blame for that

That video of the Reform councillor not understanding what Standing Orders are... What is Reform's candidate selection process? Seriously.

Shamefully FF, FG, & all the Lowry independents (apart from Barry Heneghan) voted down our Bill to sanction Israel. The government continues the approach of words and no actions. Just today they have been rightly criticising brutal Israeli treatment of Irish participants in the flotilla.
