Netanyahu has killed far more people than Hamas, yet not only is he allowed play a part in the Israeli state, the West supports him with money and weapons - why the double-standard? (No, I'm not a fan of Hamas in the slightest and what they did on Oct. 7 was completely and utterly inexcusable).

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

Delighted to have a chapter in this new book about Dr Kathleen Lynn and the other great, innovative female doctors during the first decades of St Ultan’s hospital for sick infants. #speirgorm #irishhistory #history

Gareth Sheridan has bowed out. He won’t be running for President. #Aras25 *hunger games cannon sound*

Doesn't sound like a very good study!

Regulations on slurry storage have been based on faulty numbers says Teagasc www.agriland.ie/farming-news...

How dare the Left make crass jokes about political violence, which Republicans would never, ever do...

This whole "Ireland needs a right wing presidential candidate" and "I'm being prevented from running" thing is funny because you only need 20 Oireachtas backers. You couldn't get 20 people to like you. Sounds like a skill issue tbh. #aras25

You might think the bizarre spectacle of this very clearly unwell man behaving like a deeply weird obsessive oddball, babbling about “sissy porn” on the witness stand, might have made him untouchable for media culture war bullshit purposes. You would be wrong.

x is such a weird place man

The DUP conference was full of talk about “woke nonsense” while ignoring the real crises wrecking lives. Shouting about immigration and gender won’t fix crumbling schools, toxic sewage in Lough Neagh, sky-high energy bills, unaffordable rents, or hospital waiting lists that leave people in pain for

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

Keir Starmer has announced his support for a united Ireland, as long as Sinn Féin are dismantled and completely unable to be part in the state building project. See how this works, Donal

Lyndon B. Johnson's response to satire

A resident spotted a young gull trapped on a bird house at Ward Park today. I waded out to free it, but sadly its leg was badly injured. Thanks to the quick response of the amazing @uspca.bsky.social team, the bird got urgent vet care in Belfast. 👉 Please keep an eye out for animals in distress.

The idea behind banning ‘Antifa’ isn’t really to outlaw ‘Antifa’ itself, but to hand the authorities a tool to target anyone they don’t like, by simply labeling them as part of ‘Antifa.’ #Antifa

I find it most frustrating about the Neoliberal ideology universally adopted in the past half a century is its patently utter economic nonsense, as one Australian academic economist said "it's as if chemists had forgotten the Periodic Table & gone back to Alchemy" Yet we accept their abuse using it

Radical centrism 😳. What in the wonder of fuck is that? Centrists are just conservatives without the balls to say they're right wing.

Today, EU #Agrifish ministers meet to shape the future of farming in Europe @christophehansen.bsky.social We call for dedicated funds for the environment & climate, fair income support for farmers, the end of harmful subsidies & real accountability Read our vision www.birdlife.org/wp-content/u...

Attacks on aid workers are outrageous. This violence needs more attention and it has to stop | Andrew Colvin and Jagan Chapagain

Nineteen detainees at Trump's Angola-derived ICE enclave in Louisiana endure a fifth day of hunger strike, starved of vital medications, sanitation, and counsel echoing the site's brutal legacy of abuse. This engineered peril mocks federal safeguards. #ImmigrantRights

"It is understood that the attacks on the complex have involved far-right activists and Tipperary criminal elements." www.independent.ie/irish-news/u...

#BREAKING Portugal has OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED the state of Palestine. Today the UK, Canada, Australia and Portugal recognized Palestine. Tomorrow France is set to announce recognizing the state of Palestine.

Israel and the US are boycotting the UN-hosted event, but other countries are building on an earlier declaration.

Stephen Miller is not a psychopath. That’s not what this is. Stephen Miller is a regular, homely, not particularly brilliant White guy who has been given unlimited power. Why are folks always pretending that bullies have some sort of special mental illness when said bullies are just lowdown?

#AOC #AOC2028 Whether she runs for senate in 28, which she'll runaway with and win, or guns for president, she is going to lead us out of the wilderness. AOC preparing 2028 presidential or Senate campaign, report says ground.news/article/aoc-...

BBC News: Yvette Cooper is at "a conference". She's actually attending the United Nations General Assembly. #r4today

Catherine Connolly may not be the 'perfect' candidate for president, but she'll still be getting my vote. We need to build a viable alternative coalition to FF-FG, and as the preferred choice of a united opposition, Connolly represents exactly that. share.google/mL0DS53POT5z...

I’ve been saying this for years, underneath all the racism and other bigoted thinking is misogyny. And the patriarchy was never going to go down without a fight.

"Gender studies scholars and experts on domestic violence have long known that gender-based bigotry is a gateway to violent extremism. It’s time for national security officials to catch up, says @milleridriss.bsky.social" 19thnews.org/2025/09/how-...

I am far from the first to point it out but, man, Jesus would absolutely *hate* these fuckers.

Orange oak bolete has a mycorrhizal relationship with mainly aspen and oak, under which I found this one. That is, the fungus connects with tree roots, helping them absorb water and minerals from the soil. In return, the tree feeds it with sugars produced via photosynthesis in its leaves. 🌞 🌍

Verona Murphy said that migrants coming to Ireland had been "infiltrated by ISIS" and that three- and four-year-old children coming to Ireland had been brainwashed by them. Ergo, Verona Murphy can shut the fuck up about "cyberviolence" against anyone.

Israeli forces have killed at least 25 members of the same family in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood, with up to 50 Palestinians feared trapped under rubble, as attacks ramp up across the besieged enclave aje.io/6wi1cm

New ballrooms. Gilded Oval Office décor. Over-the-top foreign trips. A lavish Qatari plane. Now, an illegal $1,000,000 “gold card” visa scheme. Rewarding WEALTH over hard work and a love for America.

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis. Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet. Just big business & their own interests. #Gatwick

What are you into? What has been your lifelong passion? What have you always wanted to try, but haven't for whatever reason? Find beginner's classes or workshops. Go to them. Create or partake, rather than consume - and meet like minds, in the process. Community is important. #spéirghorm #ireland

As a working-class person, I can't take this at face value. The system is rigged, and politicians won't listen to people like me. I also know that it's not the fault of migrants, trans people, etc. You can voice your frustration and abandonment without fascism, as it happens. #spéirghorm #ireland

A woman who refuses to be a doormat gets it daily: if she has anything, a man will try to take it. Mocked, shamed, harassed, intimidated, abused, gossiped about, frozen out of communities, for having boundaries. Saying no, standing up for yourself, shouldn’t invite hostility. Respect isn’t optional.

Israeli forces blew up more residential buildings in Gaza City, killing at least 31 Palestinians and prompting many others to flee, Gazan health authorities said, as Israel's tanks pushed further into the densely populated city

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

I think any of us who were harassed as teenagers years ago on Grafton Street by this guy already knew about this problem. Another problem is how & why he felt SO comfortable sharing this with a national newspaper??

I'll note lots of people said having Gardai escort drivelling lunatics into libraries in order to perform book inspections to make sure they weren't too gay would not placate them but radicalize them even more. And here we are.

That's it. I've unfollowed the Irish Times. They're was s time it was my weekend newspaper of choice and while i was never happy out fielded Breda O'Brien or was so D4 centric, it did at least report well on most events of note. But it has moved right and click baity. This is so insensitive.

The termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social is insane. They’re claiming that white men are a protected marginalized group
