See this? This story is the sound of a bullet you didn’t even know was coming at you whistling past your right ear.

Hundreds fill the road outside the Dáil for the #GlobalSumudFlotilla protest. #FreePalestine

When you baselessly call LGBTQ people terrorists who murdered Charlie kirk, this is the result. people.com/charlie-kirk...

i'm never going to get over the fact green goblin is standard-legal in mtg

mainstream media: please stop making the far right feel powerful

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.

$214 / 300 It's officially the weekend, but there's been no movement on this since Tuesday 😿Let's go all the way! We can do it! Love y'all! ❤️❤️❤️ #MutualAid #TransMutualAid #BIPOCMutualAid 🏳️‍⚧️💸 🖤🧡

Fascist commentators and neo-nazis picked up on the posts and began to spread them on X. What happened next is very funny: Bluesky immediately caved to the fascist pushback and used the article from the Federalist as a list to decide who to ban. Me, bree, Gretchen Felker-Martin and others.

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla boat carrying Tadhg Hickey and his shipmates was struck last night by another incendiary device.

Obviously it was intemperate comments from bluesky users that made them react like this

We literally have no idea why Kirk was shot and we won't until the person who shot him gets caught but he's immediately assumed to be a victim of political violence because his life is worth more to the ruling class Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I keep thinking about how a couple of years ago someone walked into an apartment maybe 20 minutes away from mine and murdered a trans woman named Unique Banks and shot her mom, her boyfriend, and two other trans fems and it barely got a news story and meanwhile Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Basketball Ireland due to play Israel soon, I hope they find similar backbone

Huge! Well done to all who have campaigned for RTÉ not to take part in Eurovision since it was held in apartheid Israel in 2019, and subsequently due to its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. It is shameful it has taken this long, but very welcome! #BDS www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

slowly, it's filtering through. NewPipe can't play age restricted videos from YouTube anymore (pretty sure it could before), and Magic the Gathering Arena wants me to sneakily do some birthdate-inputting to something called k-ID...

Several hundred people gathered at Government Buildings this evening for a protest calling on the Central Bank to stop facilitating the sale of Israeli government bonds

I wish 🙌 you wish 🙌 we all wish 🙌 for ill on JK Rowling

I too wish ill on JK Rowling, and all transphobes in fact.

Over two years ago, Jamie Marsicano was arrested and charged with "domestic terrorism" because of their participation in protests against Cop City. Today those charges have been dismissed. While the RICO case still stands, this is a telling victory in the larger fight.

shame, this was a lovely little channel

Mairéad McGuinness proposed what was called in the EU Parliament, “a highly undesirable and untransparent privileged lobby channel” for Christian Conservative religious groups. She voted to limit sea rescue of migrants. She is the polite and acceptable face of white Christian supremacy.

wait, people pronounce "Quixotic" with a 'ks'? or just with a 'z'?? key-zottic???

The face scan needs you to position your face inside a circle and look left and right while staying in the circle. That's a little bit difficult when you can't see the screen.

Apparently the UK adult verification thing has basically banned blind people from half of the internet because they can't use the verification system 🫣

we are all just a slightly more sophisticated versions of the bird that imitates the sounds of the chainsaws that are destroying its habitat

Open the crossings or tear down the walls. They’re starving.

i swear at god. I got an email advertising this an hour ago. @humblebundle.com a disclaimer saying that the charity was "not involved in the selection of the content in this promotion" and that the content "do[es] not reflect or represent the views and opinions" doesn't absolve you of anything

Just remember friends, the only boots worth licking are worn by goth girls.

The famous advice for women given by Constance Markievicz was, "dress suitably in short shirts and strong boots, leave your jewels and gold wands in the bank and buy a revolver". #OTD 1927 she was buried in #GlasnevinCemetery alongside many of her comrades. #IrishHistory

Ableism - 1/4 - I’ve been trying to make this post for a while, but actually a trans disabled friend said it better the other day: “I am sick of ableism in progressive spaces. Idiot is not a synonym for bigot. Stupid is not a byword for ignorant.

what the hell??? a hyperlink in the alt text... so you can find the alt text? why even bother at that point?

the bill does not "single out" Israel; neither "Israel" nor "the West Bank" nor any other place name to do with Israel–Palestine appears in the document. Saying it does is a self-tell, bc it DOES single out "relevant occupied territory", "occupying power", "illegal settler", "settlement goods", etc.

Schrödinger's Occupation: The West Bank is part of Israel when it comes time to say bills to label goods from these territories (but not Green Line Israel) "single out Israel." The WB is not part of Israel when it comes time to give Israel citizenship to everyone there. bsky.app/profile/dipl...

Meanwhile, when we (humans) are working on Irish language localisations, we get super in the weeds about it because we want to get it right! no chatgpt here!!!

When the auld lads get to the pub and all their seats are taken.
