A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.

If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about this country I don’t know what will.

She said all she needed to say on Kell on Earth (her reality show).
‘This guy is going to destroy civilization as we know it, and the earth, and all because of these people who don't have any idea why they're alive.’

This is great. Laws exist. We have rights.
U2 got it for supporting Genocide in Palestine, it seems. VdL’s pet project.
At least someone wants them, their country of birth does not.
Ireland has always been a racist hole but it's getting so much worse now. I hear people just casually say immigrants just murder people en masse as if discussing the messages
We need to be stronger and smarter in pushing back against this
Oooooh #speirghorm…..
have a read of this 😭
Are there no new ideas unless there are AI ‘ideas’?
Some places refuse to serve Israelis. We should start doing the same with Americans. Persona non grata until they have cleaned up their shit. They're easier to spot too, loud voices and arrogance stand out.
That Trump voting lady who was upset cos people were a bit rude to her in a bar in Belfast or wherever got off very lightly
No. Since I don’t bank with any entity that bankrupted the state.
Report mentions their CEO announcing this on X, but is silent on the make up of the rest of his feed: primarily great replacement theory, some outright racism, bits of misogyny (exception made for Iryna material), and naturally the standard menu of LinkedIn-esque pseudo-aphorisms about AI.
1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)
My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

Wonder will he be so bullish next time he is doing his drag impersonation of disgraced Ivan Yates.
My most realistic prediction for what might happen on St. Patrick's Day is Trump will say some horrifically offensive things about Catherine Connolly, and Micheál will just laugh along.
My prediction for Micheál Martin's White House visit is that Trump is going to, offhand, say something so bizarrely offensive to Irish people that even the ghost of H.P Lovecraft would be outraged on our behalf.
Anatomy of a X/Twitter social media frenzy. One infulencer posted incessantly about the "Dublin Zoo Scandal" on Friday, it was picked up by other bad faith actors who ran with it. This is manufactured outrage by people who literally do not have anything better to do with their time than promote hate
President von der Leyen just declared that Europe “can no longer be a custodian” of the rules-based order, the same order the EU was built on: binding rules, institutions above states, disputes settled by law not power.
Cui bono? ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
Tweet from Finbar Bermingham, March 9th 2026, on Ursula bvon der Leyen speech: Wow: VDL asks if the global rules-based order is "more a help or hindrance" to Europe "Whether the system we built – with well-intentioned attempts at consensus & compromise – is more help or a hindrance to our credibility as a geopolitical actor."
Politics isn't Bluesky's thing but Ursula von der Leyen has just given a big foreign policy speech to EU ambassadors condoning the US/Israeli war on Iran, announcing that international law and multilateralism are a hindrance to EU interests and basically recasting the EU as a security project.
HELLO. MICELÍN. Can you do the same? With all your Yankee taxes?
