Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

While he's wasting time trying to interfere with the fourth estate, the arts infrastructure in this country is crumbling. I dunno what else to expect from a minister for "culture" who went on Newstalk to explain how he can't attend cultural events on medical grounds. 🎪

It has, however, voted *unanimously* to send the Irish citizens currently being illegally detained, by Israel, its thoughts and prayers. 🙏

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

Oh to be a lobbyist who gets "strictly confidential" draft government documents shared even after being instructed not to make said documents public. The crony-class truly live in a different Ireland...

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

Great thread here. Sinn Féin have had no issue flirting with the far right for years now.

My review of Bojack Horseman:

"The transport minister gave 2,359 clearances under carriage of munitions of war legislation from 2019 to 2025 and only refused five applications to land in Clare." Jesus Christ. This should be considered treasonous!

Thanks to the funds raised by this year’s Met Gala, we are closer than ever to finding a way to return Mr Met to his human form 💪 ⚾️

European Movement Ireland’s annual poll, as usual, shows 82% of RoI residents support EU membership. But one striking finding elsewhere: residents of N Ireland are also surveyed, and 63% (!!??) would vote in favour of a United Ireland. No mainstream poll has *ever* recorded a margin like this…

Great piece from @hlinehan.bsky.social in the Irish Times today on RTE's new "unified audio identity". Unified as one bland mass of uninspired vaguery. Why RTÉ scrapping Sunday Miscellany’s trumpet sounds such a bum note – The Irish Times share.google/SPy5JzqpVYRQ...

I thought all it would take to end the protests was a meeting with gov? Now it seems it will also take: -oil & gas exploration off west coast -Abolition of carbon tax -Price caps on fuel -Wider undefined cost of living supports …and as of this morning, bringing down the government

You know that these fuel protests have far right loons at the heart of them because the Guards and the media are treating them like they are family members airing a grievance at Christmas dinner instead of calling for the army to shell them

I see the Irish Nazi’s are out supporting the fuel people as well. It’s almost as if it isn’t just about fuel …….

A statement from End Deportations Belfast on the far-right’s co-option of ‘fuel protests’ in the North. 'We are too often witnessing scenes from Dublin and beyond of far-right agitatiors trying to set a narrative around fuel protests’

Everybody, listen up. It's actually ok that he's living in a van though, right, because this man, and the rest of our totally unconflicted government, is going to solve the housing crisis. Just give them a bit of time. Have patience please. 🙏👷‍♂️💪😤

Ridicule as praxis. That's the advice from Dr. Alex Hanna and Dr. Emily M. Bender, authors of "The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want," when it comes to Big Tech bros. @samleecole.bsky.social talks to them for the 404 pod. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwBZ...

All that the tech bros are suggesting is more low quality unregulated shit boxes to solve the housing crisis

Micheál Martin lied to journalists when he said armed US soldiers weren't landing at Shannon Airport. Martin said there are “no weapons” passing through the airport – but his colleague Darragh O’Brien authorised US troops carrying guns to land there. www.ontheditch.com/ag-insint-br...
