We are not letting this go If there is no red line around AI-generated sex abuse, then no line exists. by @cwarzel.bsky.social and @matteowong.bsky.social

"A recall of batches of SMA infant formula and follow-on formula products due to a potential toxin has been significantly widened." "The list of recalled products has been significantly widened and now affects batches that may have been imported to Ireland from the UK." #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

Another one for the block list. #FuckIce #FuckTrump

The first birthday my daughter had after starting school, I organised a party, bouncy castle and all, invited the whole class. Not one parent responded. Not one child attended. We never attempted another. www.thejournal.ie/readme/autis...

I feel like I'm going crazy. Our leader just casually told us he can't stop illegal trade with another nation in case it impacts on the multinationals from another state that have set up residence here. He can't enact the will of the Irish people because it will upset foreign billionaires #Spéirgorm

The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.

Remember, Scott Adams won't see your posts focusing on his late-career bigotry, but J.K. Rowling might.

Once funny male comedy guy who turned into a deranged right wing loon has died. Have kept this generic as it’ll get a bit of reuse.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

A post about the current situation in the US from the ‘I Fucking Love Australia’ page on FB. Well worth a read.

Embarrassing that sports organisations can do the right thing before governments.

Hundreds of thousands of vile sexualised non-consensual images of women and children have been created by Grok, X’s AI tool. This isn't just horrifying – it's illegal. The Govt response to this has been muted and confusing. When will X be prosecuted?

Pure magic from the one and only Midge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=np-J...

This company has been tasked by @hselive.bsky.social with assessing my young adult daughter for residential care. OVER MY DEAD BODY.

Tell me I am not the only CSA survivor being dangerously triggered by the "machine" and the prevailing attitude of "so what" among our leaders and influential types?

Any who starts a statement with "In defence of Grok" should be put in jail immediately.

I'd love to know what they think "ethnically English" is. 40% Dane? 30% French? 20% German? (If we're equating modern geographical terms to ancient ethnicity.) (pasted from YouTube)

For years, people have been calling me paranoid because I would not let my daughters out of my sight. They were never babysat, left out to play unsupervised, I forbade their pics going online. Yes I was abused as a kid, yes a kid from my village was abducted and murdered by a paedo...

Let's not forget less than 20 years ago an Irish government put generations into debt to protect rogue bankers, hubris driven developers, and bond gambling. Because the USA, EU, and IMF told them too.

As there have been *some* new arrivals here this week, here's my own list of suggested Irish book related accounts on Bluesky - ( and suggestions for new names to add are much appreciated also) #speirgorm #irishbooks go.bsky.app/R7MFQ1f

More than 35,000 people in Gaza have completely or partially lost their hearing due to explosions during the genocide. Israel’s crimes against humanity will be felt for generations — and we will never give up until we have brought about justice for the Palestinian people.

From the US to the UK, they're not even hiding it anymore.

Hell yeah!

Ireland has a history of unquestioningly supporting rich, powerful organisations to the detriment of its citizens. It used to kowtow to the Catholic Church. Based on today’s news stories about data centres and X it is now the tech companies. Watch for tribunals in 2030 into the damage! #SpeirGorm

Ireland is prioritising data centres.

They had to change the shape of the sign in the end.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Would you let someone who generated abusive material babysit your kids? Every single politician, institution, school, club, sports team, individual etc who hasn't left X in disgust... actually doesn't care about abuse. Let that sink in. Know who they are.

Sorry Kemi, just checking - child porn is ok if it's made by companies, yes? Wow. And there was me thinking child sex abuse was horrific, but it turns out all a paedophile ring needs to do to make their activities acceptable is apply to Companies House. *Next week: Should kiddie porn attract VAT?*

An Irish company insured a ship so it could deliver 440 tonnes of munitions to Israel last month. Amnesty International warned the Holger G’s cargo could “contribute to the ongoing genocide”. It couldn’t make its journey without mandatory insurance. www.ontheditch.com/irish-compan...

Close your Epic Games account and tell them it's because CEO Tim Sweeney supports Elon Musk's CSAM and revenge porn generator.

Same property shown at 3pm asking 415k, increased to 500k at 4pm Hourly housing inflation rate of 20% !!! #HousingCrisis #Speirgorm #Cork

The organisations that claim to support adult Autistic people (all charities, because the government does SFA for us), offer us... Social events. Fucking social events. With complete strangers. Some of them on Zoom. Is this not nearly every autistic person's worst nightmare?

🔔 Ken Foxe: Over the past six years the Data Protection Commission has levied €4.04 billion in fines, mostly on multinational technology companies. Only €20 million has been paid. So €4.02 billion remains uncollected.

Never gets old - spotted 7 years ago in Aldi

Twitter used to be known as the digital town square. Now the town square is full of billboards showing CSAM and sexual harassment images, and the owner is shouting into a megaphone about the great replacement theory. It's time to leave.

The more I think on how Ireland’s government leaders and reps have responded to the Gr0k horror show, the more it makes sense. Ireland’s legacy of being a a cruel country run mostly by men happy to turn a blind eye to the abuse of mostly women and children is merely continuing. It’s sickening.

So often, a judicial review has been the only way communities can defend their local ecosystems, like the wild native kelp forests in Bantry Bay, West Cork. Now the government wants to put that avenue out of reach. Please tell them you're totally against this disgraceful step.

[IE is already deep, deep into Faustian Bargain territory in our embrace of global corporate power. And there is still virtually no discussion of this deliberate, long standing, policy...]

Imagine if China was shooting innocent women in the face. Imagine they kidnapped the leader of Singapore and killed 80 people there. Imagine they were staging a coup in Malaysia. Imagine they were threatening to invade Japan. Why is it fine the USA is doing it?

Israel’s plan for 9,000 units at Jerusalem airport ‘nuclear’ step to sever the city from the West Bank, analyst says.

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.
