34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

Found a perfect sofa bed in Harvey Norman - but they stock Soda Stream products still, so I can’t in good conscience buy from them. Recently managed to get another Israeli product cancelled in a company. I reckon I’m pretty close to having cost the regime €1m Boycott, divest, sanction.

Dave Murphy, one of the founders of DCU Redbrick died 20 years ago. He’d have hated today’s social media but would have had great fun with AI. Gone too soon. RIP DrJolt

The restraint shown by the gun owners in Minnesota is truly amazing.

finally a good dating app

It’s been 39 days since the Epstein files were supposed to be released.

I was in an American factory a couple of months ago. Met some great people. Hard workers. Every machine on the production lines was Italian. An Italian guy flies in to service them. Just one example of how reliant the USA is on other countries. And other countries are turning away. Trouble ahead.

Good poll result for the @social-democrats.bsky.social today. We’ve effectively doubled our % in just over a year. Our style of politics isn’t the easiest way of doing it- we stay true to our values & won’t compromise in bringing forward evidence based solutions. There’s a lot more to come 💜

Again and again I ask myself why we have been so utterly failed by the Guild of Assassins.

sanewashing a brain-rotted lunatic by calling him ‘enigmatic’ and ‘expansive’

The fascist regime in the USA has decided to ignore MLK day today. #MLK Trump is not capable of empathy or doing anything for another’s benefit. His lack of acknowledgement is no insult to MLK - the only king in this story.

Ireland urgently needs to look at how its economy can survive with a greatly diminished international sector from the USA. Capital expenditure to reduce ongoing costs is vital. But does our government think in the long term? We also need to talk about managed de-growth with quality of life a tenet.

Maybe I could just do Greenland. The comparatively lighthearted subject of an attack on European sovereignty on the colonial impulse of a tinfoil crowned king.

They have quite an operation going. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Europe must unite against the threats from the USA. Disband NATO and protect ourselves from the deranged orange blob in the Shite House.

Warehouses full of vital aid for the living victims of Israel’s brutal slaughter are sitting in Jordan because the Israeli regime is so unconscionably cruel that they want the people of Gaza, so many of whom are children, to suffer.

Just reading about Jon Venables, the murderer of little Jamie Bulger subsequently re-jailed for possession of child abuse imagery. People like that will absolutely use Grok to create abuse fantasies of real children. But our ineffective and useless government doesn’t want to act. #grok

A caricature of Brian Cowen in the nip led to the scrubbing of RTÉ news archives and a Garda visit to a radio station within 24 hours, just to give a sense of proportion to this foot-dragging.

Fuck Israel. Fuck anyone aiding and abetting their orgy of murder.

At today's Council meeting with my colleague Cllr. Joan Hopkins to raise Coastal erosion at #Portrane; support for important work of Fingal Integration Office; regulation of historic landfills; conservation works at Newbridge House, #Donabate & the need to fully fund local Biodivsersity Action Plan💜

I highly recommend “sound on” for this new angle

Having another listen to Blackstar ten years after we lost the lovely David Bowie. It’s one of my favourite albums of his. I love its oddness and am always amazed that it’s so unique from a 69 year old who still had musical curiosity and more to give.

Its just that they're actually sociopaths and don't realize we aren't also. This is why they think everything good is "virtue signalling" They cannot fathom doing good for the sake of good

“While tech lobbyists have been turning the screw on the commission in Brussels, they have separately been trying to tap an old backchannel that runs through Dublin, which became a well-established route for US multinationals to influence EU policy debates in the years after the financial crash.”

There’s talk of US military activity increasing in the Middle East in preparation for something. A distraction from the burgeoning civil war, proof of Trump’s child rape in the Epstein files? Or is it simply to control the supply of oil so the price of his new goes up? #TrumpIsACunt

My heart goes out to the families of the Venezuelans that Trump murdered for oil.

You can’t consume your way to happiness. That’s good news. Stop trying. Happiness will settle on you.

Don't serve them, don't interact with them, don't speak to them, don't treat them, don't help them, don't accept them, don't acknowledge them, or their families. No pasarán.

Josef Veselsky RIP What an incredible life. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

The oil companies knew more about Trump’s illegal coup than the legislature. Does the USA realise yet how much trouble it’s in?

There were zero gun murders in Ireland last year.

With a straight face BBC political correspondent Billy Kenber tells us Keir Starmer is a firm believer in rule based order. The rule being the US can do what it likes and the UK govt will back them, I guess.

Starmer’s limp response to Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is going to be seen as an invitation to invade Greenland next. The world needs some courageous leadership, and it’s sadly lacking. #venezuela @ukparliament.parliament.uk

Despite her declining health, Heba Muraisi says her willpower "hasn't shifted in the slightest."

Hunger striker heba muraisi is on 60 days hunger strike, bobby sands died at 66 wtf

First day of 2026 and the Brits are at it again.... We will not be silent. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

2025 was the year that being accused of antisemitism became utterly meaningless. Amazingly it also became the year when the world saw that terrorist is the oppressor’s word for the resistance. Free Palestine. Fuck Israel.

414 people murdered by Israel since the so-called ceasefire. How many were murdered in Bondi? The difference in the value put on each is absolutely appalling.

Today in the West Bank a six month old baby was pepper sprayed for the second time in his life. This happened in his home where any baby should be safe. It astonishes me that people are defending the regime, the people who do this. Free Palestine.

Fuck Israel and fuck Kier Starmer for choosing to let its own citizens die on hunger strike rather than doing the moral thing and stopping Israel’s brutal mass murder.

Where are the reports about the atrocity just committed by Israel, in Gaza? A wedding bombed, in a school shelter. Body parts everywhere. Blood everywhere? Should they have had the sense to be murdered on bondi beach? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

We know all about the child whose life was so brutally and needlessly taken in Bondi. Was she more important than these souls? What kind of people were they? Did they also bring life to every room? The problem is Israel.

I am sure if we put the best engineering minds together we can solve this. We shall call it the "Manhattan project "

While 30 minutes drive away Israelis live in luxury, uncaring about the horrors they created, the hundreds of thousands dead and the millions traumatised and suffering. Is there a regime more hated than Israel?
