What now for Michael Healy-Rae after shock resignation? Michael Healy-Rae loved being a minister but was acutely aware of price to pay if he ignored his base, writes Paschal Sheehy.

Did a Healy-Rae write this? 🤔 #Ireland #IrishPolitics www.rte.ie/news/2026/04...

Awesome. Congrats!! 🙌

Thanks. I hope to join you there soon! 😊

*taps ear* I'm hearing that things are more complicated than they seem, and nobody is happy about this.

I’ve often thought that recent photos of Earth from space look kind of grey and smokey compared to pictures from the ’60s and ’70s, but that might be down to the film and processing rather than environmental pollution. I hope so anyway.

It’s not, but in doing so you are following an account on the Eurosky network. AT handles the interfacing transparently.

*blocked* 😅

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Thanks for the tip!

Good to know. Am I right in thinking the account DID code and URLs for posts etc. stay the same?

Thanks for the info. That’s reassuring!

Apollo v Artemis: How the Earth changed in 58 years After the Apollo 8 crew captured the iconic Earthrise photo in 1968, Artemis astronauts have recreated the image, revealing changes to our fragile blue planet.

"[In the 58 years] since Earthrise, atmospheric CO₂ levels have risen by about a third and global temperatures have warmed rapidly, by at least 1°C" #ClimateEmergency #ArtemisII www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Bluesky uses the distributed AT protocol, which allows many different apps to interact, and data can be ported between them. There just haven’t been many of them until now.

No, I’ll still be on the Bluesky app. But my data will be hosted on Eurosky’s servers in the EU, and so subject to European laws.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Good tip! 🙏

The site says you can continue to use a custom handle, and as far as I know the underlying DID shouldn’t change, so it *should* be fairly seamless. But I’m a little nervous about how it works in practice. 😬

Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics

_"The Government’s consistent cheerleading for data centre expansion has reached a point of reckless disconnect from the economic reality of Irish citizens... Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis." https://greenparty.ie/news/uncritical-expansion-data-centres-will-fuel-social-inequality-and-energy-crisis-cllr-hazel-chu

Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

I have a custom handle, so there shouldn’t be any noticeable difference.

Thanks, Elsa. Is it working OK for you so far, and did your existing posts port over OK?

Somehow I always imagined they would be yellow!

I’m considering switching to @eurosky.social. Has anyone tried it? Will this have any effect upon lists and feeds, or are those still hosted by @bsky.app?
