Doctored video triggers attacks by five EU States on UN Special Rapporteur - now who would do that? www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

I guess EU reached the point of "Minnesota nice". And I'm all for it.

Dear Gorton & Denton, Something you might want to hear...

Watching the Liverpool v Brighton game and this had me briefly questioning how much rum I'd had

PM Ehud Barak wanted one million Russians with Jewish ancestry to immigrate to Israel to replace the immigration of Jews from North Africa He’s not only an apartheid supporter but also a racist cunt

"That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives." —Carl Sagan Voyager 1 captured the "Pale Blue Dot" image #OTD in 1990. 🧪 🔭 🔵 Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Is Galway Ready for the Rain??? Read my thoughts here: galwaygreens.ie/assets/pdfs/...

An appalling proposal is hidden at the end of the Government’s Bill on the airport cap; it would exclude decisions under the legislation from the current obligation on almost all public bodies to consider their climate impact and to be consistent with climate objectives.

The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure

Those protesters should never have been arrested, and there are adequate laws in place to deal with vandalism and criminal damage (although I think all of them deserve an award).

We support the call from supporters, overwhelmingly voted through by the FAI’s membership, to demand that UEFA ban Israel from competition and to boycott all games involving the settler state. Sign our petition to back these demands: my.uplift.ie/petitions/fa...

He must have been terrified of Johnson…

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Ian Paisley Jr inviting Erika Kirk to Northern Ireland and wanting to set up a branch of Turning Point there should be a bigger story given the DUP's murky funding of advertising etc back in the Brexit referendum.

I don't want self-driving cars. I want cars with speed governors and doors that won't open when cyclists are approaching.

Seeing. More brand print work done with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

This is wonderful. Thinking it wouldn’t be necessary if artists could still profit commercially from the success of our work. But multi billion dollar corporations decided they’d like it all for free, thanks, to offer to the public for almost nothing. Irish taxpayers will now subsidise that.

This is the essential starter pack on #cities and #urbanism. We live in an age of planetary urbanisation: what happens in cities shapes every last corner of the planet. If we want to repair the planet, we must start with cities—where participatory governance and democracy can be locally reimagined.

My new renewable energy social startup is in development, 'Guill O'Tine', an innovative Irish business that offers positive social solutions for our trying times.

Ireland fuels ICE flights.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

You’re happy to take their money, you horrible cunt.

It literally takes one minute to sign this petition to stop mass harvesting of seaweed from the west coast of Ireland without proper public consultation. I signed and it’s at 12,222 out of 15,000 rn — please sign:

Oh,that’s ok then. What’s for dinner?

They may take our lives, but they'll never take our seaweed

If it were a tool, there'd be a button you'd press to use it. When it non-optionally appears in five separate parts of the window every time you open a document, it's a CULT

4 stories in the @irishtimes.com highlight the crazy approach to climate action by the government. 3 articles detailing the heavy financial & social cost of climate breakdown, and 1 where the govt celebrates increasing climate emissions for the airport by lifting the passenger cap. 🤯 #SpeirGorm

Every school should have a garden. Every child should learn about soil, plants, insects, and how ecosystems actually work. I don’t think this is radical. Do you? #gardenSky #eduSky 🌱

Jeffrey Epstein survivors speak out #SuperBowl #SuperBowl2026 #SuperBowlXL "I was 14" "I was 16" "I was 16" "17" "14" "There are about a thousand of us" "It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows" "It's time to shine a light into the darkness" "Release all of the Epstein files"

It’s time for a revival of the great Irish retort ‘fuck off and die’

I’m always struggling with the gen x upbringing I had where sincerity and being willing to be embarrassing were considered worse sins than apathy and cynicism. It warps you so much to think it’s better to look like you’re above it all than to care too deeply.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Weeks of severe storms and catastrophic flooding across the country — all made worse and more frequent by climate change. Our politicians’ response? Our Minister for Climate Action’s response?! More emissions.

"Figures from a fish counter in Waterville... show sea trout stocks have decreased by 95.6 per cent since 2002" The sea is empty, fishing as an economic sector is over, the only thing that will turn things around is strict protection www.independent.ie/regionals/ke...
