The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

I feel bad for thinking it, but this is leaving it wide open for his family to do the funniest thing ever right now.

"As a large language model that was never a member of the IRA..."

This feels surprisingly consistent for him, given he’s such a keen fan of gaslighting too…

*people waiting for years to get an appointment to have their children or themselves diagnosed in Ireland* Irish Times: But what if we're over diagnosing people? Have you thought of that?

Media continues to treat it as if it isn’t its owner’s personal misinformation, hatred and election-tilting cauldron.

Has anyone seen just one news article explaining that these are not actually "reciprocal" tariffs? Just one? Please link me.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

Great news! I guess the citizens of Greenland, Yemen, Canada, Panama, Ireland, Palestine and the EU at large can rest easy now. For a while there it seemed like America thought it was completely reasonable to interfere in the politics of another country or something.

Yep. You read that correctly.

Absolutely loving the fact this looks like it could be a clip from a Tim Walz comedy special. Please @netflix.com 🙏 Give the world “90 Minute Walz” youtu.be/XomhuzFHjq8?...

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

If you're at the point of anti-woke moral panic that you're questioning whether NORTHERN IRELAND needs public investment in equality and inclusion initiatives, it's safe to say you're out of your fucking mind.

BBC asked leading AI tools 100 basic questions, using its articles as sources. Significant issues with just over half of the answers. Clear factual errors in a fifth Where answers included quotes from BBC articles, more than 1 in 10 were altered, or didn’t exist www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Ireland and UK cover reveal! This edition will be published by White Rabbit and available to pre-order via its website and plenty of other places too. Just saying, I hear that pre-orders are considered important...

The dream of technology is now under the control of men who are vain, foolish, self-centred, amoral, desperate for power, and in some cases openly fascistic. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-res...

Given the forecasted red weather warning - will you be sharing actual advice for people scheduled to fly? Surely a national transport hub can do more than suggesting people follow corporate social media feeds? It seems bonkers (and frankly dangerous) for people to travel to the airport tomorrow.

Right, make a donation to wikipedia tonight.

It’s pretty chilling that someone preaching simple compassion and empathy so clearly puts these people to shame. Bishop Budde serves as a reminder of what speaking truth to power looks like. If only other prominent Americans were as brave. news.sky.com/video/bishop...

Spare a thought for Cillian Murphy. Bit insulting for people to take one look at a desiccated corpse popping up and their reaction being “ah yeah dead ringer for ya” www.theguardian.com/film/2024/de...

“Kneecap will now receive the £14,000 (€16,000) grant and it will split it between two community groups - one on either side of the Belfast peace line.” A typically classy move from Kneecap ❤️

It’s one carer Micháel. How much could they need… 10 dollars?

Love this thread explaining how sampling is a form of archiving. It’s fascinating to me how people fail to see the artistry in; hearing something in isolation, imagining it as part of something completely new, having the skill to create that! We don’t judge writers for using quotes sure!

Yes, but has @gerrymcbride.bsky.social mapped it yet?

It's funny, the little differences between Hiberno-English and English. For example, in Ireland, to "get a land" means to be shocked, whereas in England it's a plan to colonise a country
