Realistically, what the Soldier F judgment means is that any soldiers looking to commit a murder on British soil just have to make sure it is unclear who actually put the bullet through someone's skin.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire

I don’t even know what to say, honestly.

If they did this every time a white Irish man sexually assaulted a woman or child, there would be no more Ireland. The whole country would be burnt down. Surely they have different standards for their pals though, of course

Once again the “Ireland Is Full” brigade is having a totally normal one. A tragic incident which was reported. The suspect is currently IN CUSTODY! Not evading justice! But instead of letting the courts deal with it, they still feel the need to burn cars and batter people in the streets.

My ADHD meds vs Actually Finishing My Breakfast…. who will win this morning?? 😭🤨

absolute workhorse of a reaction image from over 100 years ago

one incredibly clever observation made by the film Herkus Mantas (1972), prescient before its time, is that the traditionalist gungho patriot who makes a big deal of revering the old ways turns out to be the national traitor and the nice humanitarian socialist fights to the very end

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

As an American abroad all the photos from the No Kings demonstrations yesterday, the sheer scale of it all, is actually making me feel... hope for my birth country? Well done everyone

My absolute seething rage at how the showpeople of Govan are being treated by every single venerable Glasgow institution I usually adore continues. I just dug up this image: it's from a leaflet distributed in Govan in 2018, to inform locals about the proposals for local regeneration.

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

Real Prussians speak a Baltic language, worship the moon and sell stupid amounts of amber. Fake Prussians invade France

Idea - Herkus Monte vs the Nazis. They thought summoning Herkus Monte’s ghost would win them an ally because obviously a Prussian would be on their side. They were wrong. Dead wrong!

idk why a part of me is lightly rooting for george santos. hes just ... such a scoundrel. a real jackanapes

I absolutely hate when I realise I’ve used the same adjective twice in a post but it’s too late now smh

Herkus Mantas (1972) is excellent. It is 145 minutes long, but it was so excellently paced that I didn’t care. It was compelling, moving, and made me think. A true hidden gem of a film. Highly highly recommend

I was just reminded about the film Passengers (2016) and once again I am so angry

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks. This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

I somehow missed the Portland frog staring down the ICE agents a few days ago….. tbh I fuck with this. Heavily. This is one of those accidental Renaissance photos

I’m going to jump off the roof of a 12-storey building. I’ve got my helmet and my kneepads on, I’ll be alright 💪

Reading fluff is a fundamentally different experience than reading literature or nonfiction. Reading 100+ porny romance books on your e-reader in a year is not impressive. I don’t think they should officially count towards anyone’s reading goal. It’s like logging porn on your Letterboxd profile

George Lucas is the Taylor Swift of sci-fi media. Taylor Swift is the George Lucas of the music industry.

This is hardly unhinged but I really resent the heavy discussion of tropes as a way to sell/talk about a novel. The worst offenders of this are in the romance genre but I’ve seen it everywhere the past few years.

I like Oasis, a lot actually, despite the fact that there is nothing about them that is particularly interesting musically or lyrically. I also don’t love what they represent culturally. We exist

Real. My entire known, recent ancestry is from the West of Ireland. My mom, brother, and maternal grandfather look straight up Southern European.

I finally watched In the Mood for Love. Superb in every way. And devastating.

What’s the story with these “A Connolly Presidency will signal a new compassionate era of Irish politics” takes, as though Michael D Higgins hasn’t been president for the past 14 years?? Like leaving aside the power of the role, is Michael D not sufficiently committed to equality & social justice?

“A turkey with brain damage” pure poetry

My mum used to call such priests Father Whatawaste.

Paweł Włodkowic biopic entirely in medieval Latin, directed by Robert Eggers

I want to start a thread of Wikipedia articles I either really resonate with or find wacky. Watch this space

if i was drake i wouldve just faked my own death and spent the rest of my life on an oil rig

The Road to El Dorado (2000) and Challengers (2024) exist on the same spiritual plane

Lmao this is exactly how I feel about him

Not the major issue here but this is a reference to the song “Revival” by Zach Bryan (which is a genuinely great song), a country artist who recently criticised ICE.

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.

Met my partner of like 5 years on Tw*tter lol

Real. I have the craziest demand avoidance and I often wonder how I would feel about the prospect of motherhood if it were entirely divorced from societal pressure, discourse, and patriarchy. The whole topic is so tainted for me and I feel like I will never be able to be truly objective about it.
