Woohoo, team got a 3D printer and it works.

Italy and Spain deploy navy ships to assist Gaza aid flotilla www.reuters.com/world/middle...

The Russians have been banned since they invaded Ukraine

There are many things to scream from the roof tops about in this excellent article, but taken together, these two sections, calling for governments to capitulate to the tech giants, trouble me the most.

This is MASSIVE!! The Italian navy has dispatched a ship to protect the Freedom Flotilla carrying food and aid, trying to break the siege. The Flotilla was attacked last night, and it has Italian citizens on board. Someone is going to help them.

But it’s always been the leadership. Blair, Corbyn and Starmer are all against PR eg. So it’s not that the anti-PR lot naffed off to Your Party. They’re still the Labour leadership. (By contrast, most Labour voters, members, affiliated unions and CLPs are pro-PR. But when has that ever mattered?)

Came to my native language late and despite the best efforts of @lindaervine.bsky.social life and work held me back twice. Missed the deadline this year for my third bunrang 🙄 But I will be back. And in the meantime, managing a maidin mhaith or a sin anois muid makes me feel... connected. Sin é

Had a shit day yesterday but opened up #SpeirGorm this morning to the usual maidin mhaith from @brendanjharkin.bsky.social with a Belfast sunrise, a beautiful photo of his forest from @irishrainforest.bsky.social and a gorgeous Irish beach from @inishview.bsky.social Today's going to be better.

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

Richard Wright was the real genius in Pink Floyd.

I quite understand why someone with just *1.6k followers *22 follows *140 posts has not the slightest idea why the rest of us who actually share and communicate on BlueSky 🦋get out of it. Nor does he understand why we left Twitter and would not go back.

More deadly attacks on journos by Israel www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

@lbc.co.uk I hear constantly about the Israeli hostages on the British media.I NEVER hear about the over 8,000 Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons .WHY is this I wonder 🤔🤔🤔

Good morning wulferhampton have a super Sunday you sarcastic Serfs

So just finished 'Last Kingdom'. Can someone tell me why this didn't win dozens of awards for special effects, costumes , scenery CGI and whatever TF they give awards for?

Deep sigh... Okay, for those at the back who missed out on the whole fact that asylum seekers and other migrants already have arduous ID checks, or that, by the very nature of people being undocumented additional, id's are irrelevant in this context. 1/3 www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/star...

I vouch for this new group and the people involved and would encourage everyone to supprt them in any way you can

Seeing a lot of domestic policy type stuff this morning. Many of the problems society faces stem from greed and the power our politicians invest in the greedy. There are a few things greed should have no part of though: Water Housing Power Railways Truth To name but 5.

For me the jury is still out, I want to see how this develops. But I would still encourage everyone to watch this video. Every word is absolutely bang on. If we had enough honest politicians, immune to greed and temptation, to stand up for these sentiments, there might be hope. #StopTheYachts

What Rev Karen says! I'm not even a Christian but here's the thing, we have more in common even if we use different words. Our life experience may mean we say it in different ways, but Karen's words still express exactly what all decent people feel.

Rip-off Quarter of the average UK energy bill funds profits. 2010-2025: Privatised energy companies paid £70.7bn in dividends In high winds, turbines turned off as system can't transmit/store electricity. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Many businesses destroyed by high energy bills.

Hmmm youtube just threw up Kirk debating, I think at an English uni? Fuck me. He wasn't much good at it, weak, easily defeated arguments. But worse was the misogyny, really quite awful. How was anyone sucked in by that crap?

I'm sick and tired of the whole, we have to "understand" them "we have to appeal to them". No, we need to confront and challenge them. This isn't about class or economic circumstances now. It's about racists controlling the narrative and everyone else pretending they aren't what they are, racists 3/

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.

Waiting for the UK Prime Minister to add this to the agenda for day 1 of the Trump state visit to the UK. US and UK backed Israel is committing genocide in Gaza - and the world is watching. 🇵🇸

I would like every sneering commentator who smeared me and my comrades as anti-semites for rightly pointing this out and protesting against it, who will only now take it seriously, to please feel free to suck shit clean out of a septic tank at their earliest convenience.

Why is is so hard for people to say these words?: Lough Neagh, the UK's biggest lake, is being killed by *livestock farms*.

I am sure Farage and Rees Mogg and Johnson will be complaining about an unelected foreign businessman calling for the overthrow of the British government. And Gove and Jenkyns and Tice Any time soon. What's that, Skippy? They were all hypocritical shites? Of course they were.

"Sinn Féin and the DUP have stalled the nutrients action programme over fears of a farmer backlash." The *only* thing they'll unite on: ensuring the largest lake ecosystem in Ireland or Britain, Lough Neagh, continues to die of pollution. What a f**king disgrace. share.google/cazBTwCid9qR...

"But it will also mean that we stand with those who would be targeted. Thinking practically, speaking openly, ensuring they are safe and protected. It will be an exercise in solidarity." Please read Ian's words.

It’s been fascinating watching them reveal themselves one at a time. The shame has been taken out of racism. It was always there. They are just emboldened but need to know they will never win. Most people are not hateful maniacs and racist freaks. Our diversity is our strength.✌🏻

No. No. No. You’re being played, Mr Kyle. By people who are laughing at your naivety and using it to inflame tensions and terrify people. You’ve helped create these ‘concerns’ instead of reassuring and calling out the racists. Our democracy and country are under threat and you don’t seem to get it.

Every decent politician should be ‘disturbed’ by Tommy Robinson’s fascist march in London and Musk’s calls for violence on our streets. Every decent politician should stop claiming this horror is an expression of ‘free speech’. It’s vicious, racist incitement. DO something about it.

Every little compromise with the ‘legitimate concerns’ is what led us to yesterday’s match. Every bit of ‘I understand the protests’ will be what leads us further into hell.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

The right wing media are far more concerned with people on the left mockng Charlie Kirk than they are with someone on the right shooting Charlie Kirk.

How many were injured arresting almost 900 anti genocide protestors? This is how it works, if you're passive you get arrested, if you're a violent racist thug the police are too scared to arrest you in case they get hurt. Or maybe it's just where their sympathies lie www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Unless something changed I am under the impression that incitement is a criminal offence. Moreso, it is from a man who is applying for a license to sell electricity to British consumers. Apply the law without fear or favour Mr. Starmer.

And from conducting business here. Proscribe him and all his companies. His actions & wprds are demonstrably & unambiguously more "terroristic" than anything Palestime Action have ever even dreamed of.

Musk is encouraging the violent overthrow of the UK Government and should be banned from entering the UK.

Another one of their own, so they won't be rioting
