⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

🤣🤣

Derry card maker quick on the draw.

350,000 Irish people were forcibly deported from Britain to Ireland between 1819 and the early decades of the 20th century. Many worked their entire lives to build Britain and ultimately when they needed workhouse support, they were deported to a place they hadn’t known for decades. [1/3]

Israel's engineered famine in Gaza is only the latest episode in a long and dark history, from Ireland to north America, of colonial regimes using enforced starvation as a weapon of war against Indigenous peoples, to drive them out and steal their lands. theconversation.com/the-dark-his...

Niall O'Hara the bigot behind the 'Real News Eire' account on Twitter shared a video claiming to be from a 'political analyst from UAE' speaking about the Muslim Brotherhood in Ireland. I asked Grok if it was AI generated. Guess what?! 1/2

11 years ago, 🇺🇦 Olena Kulish & Volodymyr Alyokhin got executed mafia-style in #Donbas. “Guilty” of supplying 🇺🇦 soldiers with food. He was in IT. She was a popular radio host & animal rights activist. Russians killed her 6 dogs too. Just for the fun of it. #RussianWarCrimes

Just putting this here for no particular reason.

How times change. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million. 157 years later, Russia owns the White House, and they didn't fork out a single dime.

180y ago, the Great Hunger killed over a million people in Ireland as the Great Powers stood by & ignored the horrific suffering of children. Famine stalks Gaza, babies are arriving at the makeshift triage & dying. The death toll from genocide will grow as famine & disease murder more. Donate:

No words but then again having seen so many examples of KAT (kill all Taigs) effigies with nooses around their necks and effigies of the Virgin Mary on their bonfires we shouldn’t be surprised. Doesn’t make it any less shocking.

A reimagining of William Hogarth’s ‘A Rake’s Progress’ with Trump as the titular rake. Plates 1 to 4.

Christ, I just went down this rabbit hole and there is a LOT

Not that hard to imagine, is it? #Glastonbury #BobVylan #KneeCap

Funny, i can think of one that happens every year.

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up. Powerful video…

The fetishism of cruelty.

Hello Irish Bluesky. Anyone bought from these sites appearing reg on Insta and Facebook with heart-break tales of arson, theft etc forcing "clearance sales". Aidens-Kildare, Walsh-Kildare, Coda-Kildare or any sites like them? Interested to hear your experience. [email protected]

As good a metric as any for "cut through" with the median British person is Mail Online comments. More than 2k means a story is a proper talker. Normal people are taking notice. The Vance story currently has 3.3k comments in just a couple of hours. Top-rated comment:

A striking example of how Elon Musk's hidden algorithim controls what users see: I posted this identical text to both X (where I've 84k followers) and Bluesky (where I've just 3k). X showed the post to just 6,800 people. The consequence on X: 17 reposts; on Bluesky: 100 reposts.

The publisher of the Irish Independent is taking legal action against X, formerly Twitter, over "fake advertisements" on the social media platform

After Trump's statement last night, this moment from #PMQs is essential viewing. Lib Dem leader @eddavey.libdems.org.uk: "If Ukraine is forced to surrender its own sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945." youtu.be/ERF2mvacD50

You know why Native peoples of America, who had fucking nothing at the time and were living on reservations sent money to the starving Irish during the potato famine We are all children of the oppression of colonizers, and now children of the diaspora.

Irish democracy appears safe, for now. #eggs.

This is a good response from the European Commission. TL;DR: we're not dignifying every brainfart with a response unless there's some solid detail, but broadly, this is fucking insane.

Wind has really picked up here in North COunty Dublin. Solar Panels rattling away on the roof. Nothing else for it but to drink tea.

I was trying to explain this earlier. This weather will kill you by accident - they don't put out the government phone alert for the craic. Please stay home and stay safe.
