They want ethnic cleansing.

Just what kids need. More social isolation. Make no mistake, this will be used against queer kids. It's literally part of the conversion therapy handbook, isolating queer and trans kids from their peers. While safety online should be a priority, we know how well the gvt and AGS do with that.

Gript isn't a real press outlet, in any event - run by John McGuirk, with a "partnership" with the former Cambridge Analytica. The Press Council of Ireland has serious questions to answer regarding their membership. Fair play, Paul, don't let the bastards grind you down.

Hmmm, this is a decade since marriage equality in Ireland meaning it would be a good time to take a trip over and shown around by a gay tour guide, right? [points to self]

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Ireland is rife with this kind of "leadership". People who use phrases like "stakeholder engagement" and "community consultation" as jargon that sound nice while proceeding with dictatorial decision making. It's utterly pathetic and we need to do better.

This is the most RTÉ-brained shit imaginable, Bakhurst should resign.

Heard that Irish hacks who haven't murmured a word about their colleagues in Gaza being slaughtered suddenly outraged that Ruth Coppinger told Gript and John McLurk to take a hike.

"Israel killed nearly two-thirds of the 124 journalists who died around the world in 2024" - you would imagine this would cause a commotion in the world of news journalism, wouldn't you.

Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.” No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post. Compliance ≠ usability. Day 1 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

This is dumb and bad. There is no need for any other commentary than that. Commercial plantations on deep peatlands are dumb and bad. Normalise calling things which are dumb and bad what they are; dumb and bad.

Walton Goggins dazzles in this NESTS number that hits multiple times, does significant chip, and can even reflect projectiles. Fashion industry insiders believe this will help him against Zendaya's strong fireball game.
