“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”
World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament
Ireland: Okay, great!
World rugby: as long as England win their game.
Ireland:...
World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-
Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.
Old man Trump, mouth wide open, shocked
Trump has lost control of the war on Iran with no off ramp or exit strategy. Trump's team failed to assess Iran's ability to retaliate nor did they have any plan for a long term sustained retaliation, and have now thrown the entire region into a fiery shitstorm.
Gardaí in Crumlin are appealing for the public’s assistance in locating Cian Mooney, 16, and Ella Rose Mooney, 13, who are reported missing from their home in Crumlin since Thursday.

It’s almost as if they didn’t think this through.

“Choosing WW3 instead of arresting the rich pedophiles was a wild choice”.

Sudan: 55,000 since Apr 2023 (~52/day)
Iran: 1,500 in 10 days
Lebanon: 600 in a week
Every war and civilian death is a tragedy. Yet global outrage clearly isn’t equal.
White > Muslims > black 🫣
Huge investments in renewable energy have made Spain more independent from fossil fuel imports, and less vulnerable to the surging prices following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran
An end to fossil fuels is better for the climate and people's bills – and takes power away from tyrants
What Ukrainians look like after time in Russian captivity is the stuff of absolute nightmares. But this isn't a dream, but horrifying reality of life in Russian hell.
Israel's attacks on Lebanon have killed 634 people and displaced more than 800,000, the Lebanese government said today as Israeli forces began a ground invasion across the country's southern border, where Irish peacekeepers are stationed.

On Wednesday, Spain announced that it would be withdrawing its ambassador to Israel. The move is in protest of Israel’s continued genocide of Palestinians in Gaza as well as its participation in the joint United States-Israel war on Iran.
No, it’s when you are forced to listen to the music of ELO until you die.
'Electrocution' is a portmanteau of 'electricity' and 'execution'. It was literally coined to describe what an electric chair does. Electrocution is fatal. You can get electric shocks, hell, you can get near-fatal electric injuries. But no, you weren't 'electrocuted' changing a bulb.
And the notion that the soldiers didn’t cop on that it wasn’t a mockup at the start of the exercise, nor were they suspicious that the “mockup” was so elaborate.
Watched it the other night.
Hollywood chewing gum.
Ridiculous concept that an alien civilisation, capable of sending an invasion force across the galaxy, couldn’t design a killer robot that could consistently hit its targets.
Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed 394 people over the past week, including 83 children and 42 women, the country's health minister has said, after Israel expanded its attacks to a hotel in central Beirut today

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
“I failed that exam” is data.
“I’m useless” is a belief.
And beliefs stick if we repeat them often enough.
Failure gives you one powerful thing though. Certainty.
I tried. That didn’t work. Now what?
Your growth lives in that question, though. Ask it.
Now what?
Every major AI CEO admits the models still hallucinate. They say they are working on it.
Meanwhile, the US and Isra*el are already using AI to help select and prioritize targets. If AI gets it wrong, who is responsible?
If AI companies want to claim they are helping solve the climate crisis, they should be required to show their math, writes Friends of the Earth's Michael Khoo. Industry claims that AI is benefiting the climate are unfounded at best, and deceptive PR at worst, he writes.
I strongly condemn the reckless strike on a UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon that has left a number of Ghanaian peacekeepers seriously injured. The role of peacekeepers is sacrosanct, and all should go above and beyond to prevent them from coming into harm’s way. I would like to pay tribute to the courage, resilience, and professionalism of the Irish peacekeepers who came to the aid of their Ghanaian colleagues today. I have been briefed on the latest situation, and all Irish personnel serving in Lebanon remain safe and accounted for.
Micheál Martin has made Ireland complicit in a genocide by allowing our airspace to be used for the transport of war matériel, and he cannot call Israel's genocide or their illegal war, waged together with the U.S., for what they are.
The worst "leader" Ireland has ever had by a country mile.
A reminder that much of this started because Netanyahu and Trump did not want to go to jail for crimes they almost certainly committed.
The 10th body has been found under the rubble of an apartment building in Kharkiv, struck by a russian missile last night.
10 people who simply were at home at night…
"It tells us something about the distinct value of human life... imagine if 160 schoolchildren were killed in my other places in the world, it would be number 1 item on the news for weeks."
#USOutOfShannon #NoToWar #Iran #Lebanon
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.
¿Un buen par de cojones?
A US military chartered aircraft used to transport troops stopped at Shannon last Friday before flying straight to Kuwait – a critical hub for American forces in the region – just hours before Washington-backed Israel attacked Iran.
