What's behind the 'feral and unhinged' reaction to Heated Rivalry? The lack of mainstream interest in popular romance explains why many were clearly surprised by the huge success of the hit TV show, writes @clionaog.bsky.social @ucc.ie @researchireland.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
We're launched! In my newsletter this week, I write about our new female-founded media collective

the fuck you energy that's fuelling it & why the mainstream media's laundering of Tony Blair is *exactly* why you need to read it 👊👊👊

No, Lord Falconer. Labour should stop pandering to this nonsense.

23 years ago when me and my friend Paul were devising silly musical schemes, Paul's flatmate Mick was in the next room organising Belong To & starting an LGBTQI+ youth movement. Mick Barron is a legend. I interviewed him about his new book on LGBTQI+ youth activism www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...
This beautiful illustration was drawn by Annie West to commemorate the Marriage Equality Referendum, 10 years ago this month.
The All-Ireland vibe reminds we may well see a referendum soon on reunification. Another massive moment for Ireland.
That got a little closer this week.

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City.
"He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent."
It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...
3/Other religious leaders in Wilson’s orbit join in the video to explain to reporters that the man is the head of the household and the wife’s job is to submit. Then they delve into their belief that women shouldn’t be able to vote, with one pastor saying he supports repeal of the 19th Amendment.
New data centre secures planning permission in Dublin, absurdly arguing that being powered mainly by on-site gas turbines means it will “play a part in Ireland’s decarbonisation strategy” - it’s the most deceitful yet common argument thrown out there.

Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/mz99X6Cw
'Body parts flying everywhere': Israeli forces killed at least 67 people across Gaza today One strike on a café in Gaza City, which was crowded with women and children, killed at least 30 people. Image caption: A man carries the body of a child who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City.
Day after day - scores murdered by these war criminals.
Today a cafe bombed with over 30 dead mostly women and children.
Yet still Western media and governments rush to give them cover.
No rioting in Donaghadee tonight? Interesting.
Do they want him shot dead in Kilmainham while tied to his chair?
JFC.
Profoundly depressing account of attitudes underlying the riots in Ballymena.

"... the US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity"

I’m glad to see this article but it’s after 24 hours of unchallenged corporate guff dominating the news cycle. Tony Blair is a tech lobbyist who is literally writing naive, venal & dangerous policy for Starmer’s government. Call it out.

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.
