Holy smokes.
Holy smokes.
The saying goes that success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan. While many helped in this result, I want to single out @tupped.bsky.social for his work and (reluctantly) @garygannontd.bsky.social for taking on the risk. But it’s not over. Not until the EU says no to Israeli war bonds.
Thank you all so much 🙏 these victories are needed and significant. Power to the people.
Maybe he, and they, the Labour Party are now far right. maybe its less a capitulation and more showing exactly who they are now.
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
“The world's leading genocide scholars' association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president said on Monday.” 86% of those who voted backed the resolution.
Brilliant
Nail on the fucking head.

Ye really are a disgrace in the NYT
This is so great. Bring back raving....illegal raving....in fields, in warehouses, in shitty clubs wherever. Party like its 1988, or 1990, 92, 94 whenever your summer off love was. youtu.be/rAOHJqJMYDA?...
Our rivers, the very lifeblood of the land, are being murdered. Yet this sickening crime is just allowed to get worse and worse.
It actually might

Journalists everywhere need to stand in solidarity on this killing spree and resulting news blackout. See below in this thread for some actions and stay tuned here https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-hits-gaza-hospital-killing-least-20-people-including-five-journalists-2025-08-25/
Israel double tap strike. It murders journalists then sends a drone in to kill the paramedics trying to retrieve their bodies. A war crime, broadcast live and sponsored by the US and Europe. 🚨Boycott EVERY news channel that doesn’t show this footage today🚨
Today Reuters TV journalism contractor Hussam al-Masri was killed by Israel in an attack on a hospital, and I actually can't believe the words I've just typed. #STOPKILLINGJOURNALISTS
"What's happening now is barbarism in the extreme.. 15 people killed, 4 journalists, medical students have been killed.. it is murder, these are war crimes, killing innocent civilians.." Professor Nick Maynard on Israels latest attack on Nasser hospital

Two years later Fucking hell
I agree with you.
Jeeeeesus
My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...
Holy jesus. The prices
It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.
Omfg where are you. Its insane in Limerick. And at night the streets turn into motocross.
I've got my conspiracy board out again, trying to find a connection between young lads on scramblers doing wheelies up and down a busy road beside me, and reports that Gardaí are inherently bored by road policing and don't really bother with it
Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread. The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.
Does famine make a difference to the EU?
Brilliant
Our pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡 Free Palestine! Free the 6 counties!
At Victorious Festival in Portsmouth. Irish band the Mary Wallopers booted off stage for flying a Palestine flag. Which is not illegal. Who took this decision to stop a band expressing legitimate views? Very worrying whatever view you have on the Middle East.
An absolute banger
Israel's forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza has reached catastrophe. - 500,000+ people are experiencing catastrophic famine - 132,000 children under five are acutely malnourished - 98% of cropland is destroyed or inaccessible All with US protection.
Death to tech
Whoaaaa
"Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare." www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
They so missed out

Microsoft telling us not to trust its AI with high stakes jobs and then calling it fucking COPILOT is peak, hype meets reality.

DaY 3 of beautiful Feile na Greine. Raw. Everything making me cry. Including Harry Gorski Brown and his cover of i Want To Fight Your Father. ❤️😭 @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social
❤️ Just the best.

This is how mortifyingly dumb this site is.....ahhhha
This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...
Féile na Gréine is very special to us in Limerick. @zarahedderman.bsky.social gets it. This is a lovely introduction to the interview with two of its main organisers. Love to see @tombstome.bsky.social & the AMC still getting mentioned around these parts. zarahedderman.substack.com/p/tba-024-fe...
The removal of trans rights in the UK was part of an experiment to see how far they could remove the rights of part of society without pushback. They have made Peers of those they paid to do the job. Who is next? Gays and lesbians, black and brown people and then all women. Good luck.
The kids are alright
Another day another daily slaughter and not a single western nation is willing to cut ties with Israel's genocidal regime www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...
This is giving me a headache
Some Like it Hot, the Apartment, Its a Wonderful Life, Bringing up Baby, Philadelphia Story, ET, Close Encounters, In the Mood for Love. So many perfect stories.
Sheer genius
Love this film so much. Got lucky to see it on a big screen in the BFI last year as part of a Gene Tierney retrospective.
Violence is what happens when you leave racist and hateful speech go unchecked in person and online. Feels like the chance we had to stop this slipped away, around the time everyone was smugly declaring we had no far right movement in Ireland. 'I'm leaving this country': jrnl.ie/6789412
Vexciting
Ah jaysus. This election is gonna be a shit show isn't it
I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
Ashamed of these assholes
Fucking assholes.
If you're an artist based in Ireland, this survey relates directly to you. It'll take three or four minutes, if that (it's actually too short). Please check it out. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
Barack Obama guaranteed Israel €38 billion to help them slaughter the Palestinians. This might not be the best time to give him the freedom of Dublin.
You are 100 percent right
“But why don’t women come forward?”
You need to do more. Sanctions now.

A reminder that Sudan is entering stage 5 famine. I wrote this detailed piece months ago and it is still relevant on how you can get involved and support those who are needlessly suffering in Sudan. #KeepEyesOnSudan www.qasimrashid.com/p/sudan-cong...
Journalists - if you are going to report or repeat Israel's statement that one of the Al Jazeera journalists it murdered overnight was a Hamas leader, please outline for readers, viewers and listeners how you verified their claim before presenting it to your audience.
Antony Loewenstein: Israel has killed more journalists in the last 22 months than were killed in the US civil war, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
And Israel has just calmly said they've done this, and the international community seems to have simply shrugged. Total impunity.
More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza. And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.
Sigh....

Popular peaceful protest is a safety valve and a crucial method of signalling, at least, a plurality of voter opinion on the issue being addressed. To suppress it is to admit its power and deny that role’s legitimacy. But no democracy long survives the denial of the peaceful expression of opinion.

When you say "AI is absolute shit" people will say "that shows you don't understand AI and how it's supposed to be used" and I will say "I'm not talking about AI in some imaginary rainbow world where it's used right and not fecklessly monetized, I'm talking about our world, fucknuts."

Great letter in today's Irish Times. We have watched politicians and media enable apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians for almost two years. #GazaGenocide

Lollll
Hooboy. You might know Prager from their earlier controversies over their depiction of slavery (described as a "compromise" to unite the nation) or their steadfast promotion of fossil fuels (in their "science" videos). But there is so much more in their ideological toolbox. A quick tour🧵
