What an absolute legend 🤩

I love this guy 😎👍

Trump says Israel and Lebanon agree 10-day ceasefire US President Donald Trump has said that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire.

The framing of this is wild 🤯

Lebanon is literally doing nothing, while Israel is the aggressor (and the actions of Hezbollah are no excuse for the illegal bombings and ground incursions of the latter), yet it is depicted here as some kind of war of equals.

Bananas 🙄

The hardest part of your dog dying isn't just losing them. It's that you decide when they go Alison O'Reilly opens up about her personal experience of pet loss, the burden of euthanasia, and why grief after losing a dog matters

One of the most moving articles I’ve ever read, probably because I’ve been theough this so many times myself 🥺

Being able to euthanise a companion animal when the time comes is a huge relief as it stops their continual suffering.

What we’re witnessing here is the collapse of civilised society at the international level.

Well I never… 🙄

Israel a step closer to controversial death penalty bill Israel's Knesset National Security Committee has approved a proposed death penalty bill against Palestinian detainees. It will now advance to a final vote expected next week.

Welcome shift in tone here in this @news.rte.ie article👇

Israel is running an apartheid regime and colonised Palestinians have no human rights.

Yet another warning to be ignored by the powerful 😑

The news at the moment is terrible. Our leaders are letting us down yet we keep voting them back into office 🤷🏻‍♂️

Argentina beef sector eyes growth boost from EU-Mercosur deal and rising global demand Trade deals and rising demand offer opportunity, but efficiency, disease control and production shifts remain key challenges for growth

This article reads like a puff piece for the South American meat industry 🤦🏻‍♂️

Lots of talk lately about price fluctuations and the supply of fossil fuels.

Seems like climate breakdown is increasingly being ignored by the media.

They’re some yokes aren’t they? 😅

Israel will never miss an opportunity to annex another country’s land 😐

I’m at the Dublin Mind Body Experience at the RDS today with the Irish Anti-Vivisection Society 🐰 raising awareness about animal experiments 🧫 in Irish labs 🧪

Over 112,000 non-consenting sentient beings are used in tests, much of it for Botox 💉, two thirds of which is for the cosmetics industry.

Mice, rats, wasps: RTÉ spends more than €7,000 on pest control Broadcaster battled infestations of rodents and insects in production stages, canteen and creche last year

I’d like to see the terms ‘pests’, ‘vermin’ and ‘weeds’ confined to the history books. 📚

Wasps are essential pollinators and regulate smaller insect populations, while rodents are vital components in the food chain.

Fix your buildings @rte.ie !!

True.

Were any of the current elected Labour TDs around in those days?

Point remains Karl that both parties are centre-left. I’d welcome a coalition of both including the Greens after the next general election. But I doubt that will happen because of the reasons I’ve mentioned before.

Fair enough Karl, I accept your point regarding voting, however in the wider sense, the SocDems and Labour do not diverge in policy in such a way that a Joe Soap like me can tell the difference.

Califa is right up there 👌🏻😋

Agree Paul, but the left is riven with division. The SocDems and Labour are basically the same party and look how that’s going...

And Sinn Fein are nothing short of a disgrace when it comes to animal rights and the protection of the environment.

Some oats taste a bit salty, or have an aftertaste. I’ve had most of them at this stage.

Maybe check out Minor Figures regular oat. It’s in a yellow carton and got a dude dressed up as a chicken on it 😝 For me it’s the best tasting, most versatile oat drink, especially nice in tea and coffee 😋

I was looking for Jim yesterday but didn’t hear back from him - now I know what he was up to! 😅

Looks great down at Scohaboy! Wish I was there!!

Fewer people with a warmer welcome either! 😉

One of my very favourite birds! 🤩
