I was there for the rise of the internet and smart phones, and they absolutely sold themselves. People took one look and got excited. There was no point, years into the smart phone, where companies were having to be like "you may not like the iPhone but it's here to stay so get used to it"

Press photo of Countess Constance Markievicz on her return to Dublin after her 1919 release from prison. Welcomed by supporters + presented with a bouquet in Sinn Féin colours. While imprisoned, she became the 1st woman elected to the British Parliament, but refused to take her seat at Westminster.

So excited to get stuck into #census1926 😍
But it's gonna have to wait till Monday, because I only have my phone till then, and this is a laptop activity 😅

8 years ago, I told a story which changed my life forever. Shortly after, an old pal from college asked if he could turn it into a film.

So I am DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE that 'Me, Myself & Mary' is not only finished, but has been chosen to lead the Tribeca Festival's animated shorts roster this year.

I like to be able to choose what I want to myself and then pay for it precisely once.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:

a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b

Absolutely unforgivable, these pricks attacking the Muslim Sisters of Éire.

I really do believe this is true. I'm sure that not everybody who turned up to protest has fascist leanings, but if you pulled your truck up next to one that said "Ireland for the Irish" and you don't leave, are you better than the owner of that truck?

They're blocking fucking medicine?? #spéirghorm #spéirgorm

Here are some publicly available posts from one of the key organisers, James Geoghegan.

Protestors deciding what gets in and out of ports fuel for emergency services, animal feed and water treatment chemicals, is so wild and dangerous. Only bird brains would back this now

If we had a fraction of the billionaire-owned social media and funding of the right this whole thing could be co-opted into the most effective climate change protest ever. THIS IS THE TOXIC DYSFUNCTION OF FOSSIL FUELS MAKING EVERYTHING AWFUL AND THESE PEOPLE ONLY WANT TO MAKE IT WORSE. #spéirghorm

A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.

Don’t make me tap the sign. Its support trans people or Harry Potter can’t have both

‘There’s no ceasefire’: Gaza paramedic and father of two killed as civilian death toll since October passes 650 Despite the supposed end of the fighting last year, casualties in the territory continue to rise, with volunteer ambulance driver Abed Elrahman Hamdouna joining the long list of those killed by Israel...

"UN experts: “the targeted destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system” by Israel “amounts to ‘medicide’” and accused Israel of “deliberately attacking and starving healthcare workers, paramedics and hospitals to wipe out medical care in the besieged enclave”

Ice flight stopped at Shannon Airport on St Patrick’s Day while deporting Ukrainians Private jet hired by Ice agency also stopped on its return journey to Arizona

Ice flight stopped at Shannon on Patrick’s Day while deporting Ukrainians
So we are facilitating deportations by the brutish, murderous ICE-here deporting Ukrainians back to war zone. On top of the delivery of the bowl of shamrock this is just shameful #spéirghorm

The government knew exactly what would happen. They did it anyway.

Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank Mother, father and brothers aged five and seven shot in the head as they returned from Ramadan shopping trip

Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank

Israel is killing medics and children today.

They do this every single day.

Love the way any progressive measure is publicly nickle and dimed while wild discretionary overspending (bike shed anyone) has to be FOI'd.

PLEASE

(...I don't know why I tagged SpéirGhorm, no one there needs to be told this 😅)

Couldn't agree with you more! If it didn't change & evolve, it wouldn't still be going.
I don't love everything Star Trek has done in recent years, but sure I didn't love everything it did in the old days either. I like Trek trying new things even if they don't work. (Though for me, they mostly do!)

Oh god, it's such a fun show 😍
Adding to the recommendations for TM AU and NZ too, they're great!

We need just 569 more Irish people to sign this official EU citizen initiative to pass our threshold.

If you truly support #JusticeForPalestine and you haven't signed, why not? 🇵🇸🙏

I'm...just having a lot of feelings about this week's #StarfleetAcademy 🥹🥹

This show has been so good so far anyway, and I really do want Star Trek to move away from leaning so hard on nostalgia, but this was really very good.
Also, protect Sam at all costs. 🥹

remember when everything was possibly cake and we were driven mad by the possibility that everything was cake? don't you wish everything was possibly cake now instead of probably ai? we were such fools to squander a cake-based reality.
