"The one thing saving our society from chaos is that none of these other suffering groups would conduct a similar blockade because they are committed to an ethic of care."

Amazing we can find 2million for a one off private ticket only event but can’t fund catering

2 million would provide catering on all routes missing it for 1 year

some of the international far right accounts that joined the dogpile. the last one, Defiant L's, is owned by a Macedonian guy who illegally donated money to Ron Watkins, one of the primary operators of the Q persona, as in the Q from QAnon

Be sure to read the whole thing.

"why are they doing this?"
To kill open source ventures like Linux distros because the cost of adhering to this law is too much to expect these projects to pay and maintain, forcing everyone to use windows and train their AI/farm metadata

They'll say it's for protecting kids or something tho

shocked I am, shocked!

A graphic representation of why it’s so hard to overcome poverty when you fall behind in Ireland, but it’s also that, compared to other European countries, our state has not invested enough in public infrastructure like transport. Paying as an individual has a disproportionate effect on the poor.

"The left has one job in the months ahead, and it is not to run their play from the other side of the pitch. It is to name what it would build, who it would build it with, and by what methods."

What pissed me off most, when Leo dropped that line, was that he never held a set of work keys in his life

As Dr, as TD, as Minister there were always people on minimum wage who'd opened the building before he got there, who were there to lock up when he was gone, and had to clean up after him too

Complaints that the protesters were unfairly tagged with the far right brush would be justified if even one of the protest leaders were to come out and say they don't welcome support from that quarter. What are the chances of that happening?

Called it.

Gotta make sure they give us their full wishlist before we take on the EU Presidency

With fash allies collapsing across Europe, you'll see more yank/far right money being diverted to Ireland's fash, especially now how impotent or govt was at quelling the mobilisation of Irish far right in the last week.

Of course he knows people "are hurting"
...he's literally been doing the hurting, he's voted with every govt policy to date and has voted with previous FGFF govts policies...and between govt contracts and his landlordism has benefited twice fold...but people will quickly forget.
Cute hoorism.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Two things can be true at the same time: grievances can be real and people struggling, but their protests and the allies they choose completely wrong. And the double standards the state and media applies to them also obvious. The next time there's a strike, see how far you get blocking O'Connell St

Ordinary Decent People is one of my least favourite phrases in the world. simultaneously vague and loaded, encompassing as many people as possible while also letting anyone assume you share their disdain for whatever kinds of people they don't think count as ordinary, or decent, or people

another scene for my short film about guys on boat #krita

A photo of a tree on a hill with the setting sun behind it casting a shadow

Get down to Phoenix Park right now if you want to get your ass kicked....by the overwhelming transcendental power of the natural world.

Please be conscious that there are petitions going around that may appear to be calling for something you want, but for very different reasons than yours.

Read the small print!

Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

someone put this on the cover of TIME

Spider-Man by Chris Bachalo

Cover art for the 2025 special edition of Howl's Moving Castle published by Greenwillow Books (HarperCollins). Features Sophie and Howl standing in a flower field beneath a grassy hill. Sophie wears a pink dress and has a glowing staff that sparks magic. She has red hair and a soft smile. Howl clutches his chest which also sparks magic. He holds a guitar and wears a red coat with trailing coat trails. The moving castle stomps along the top of the hill in front of a sunset sky with magical blue smoke drifting behind it.
