The Encampments documentary is showing in the Lighthouse and the IFI this week. I just came out of a screening and it's incredibly powerful, go see it.

BREAKING: Israel’s defense minister has vowed to prevent an aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists from reaching the Gaza Strip.

The notification rate for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Ireland fell 11% in 2024, according to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre

This is incredibly niche coolness and I'm here for it

Finally started season 5 of You. But honestly do I really want to watch Joe murder someone every 5 minutes and cry that he's good?

Washed up brick, Crosby beach, Liverpool.

Macklemore in Dublin tonight giving a massive shout out to Irish solidarity with Palestine and railing against apartheid Israel's genocide and its enablers. #FreePalestine #SolidarityIsAVerb 🇵🇸

Do we have to watch Trump and Musk have a petty fall out on the internet? We knew it was coming but they can both afford therapy.

Oh, okay no training AIs what a fascist looks like?

Fabulous to see the Thirteenth Doctor return in #DoctorWho this year — and in @bigfinish.bsky.social audios, too! Want to write a story for her? You still have ONE WEEK to enter the 2025 Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trip competition. Entries close on Thur 12 June. www.bigfinish.com/news/v/tenth...

Not to turn every post today into "let's stop robots taking working class jobs that deserve better conditions" but the delivery drones are the same issue.

Does anyone know why the DCC houses on All Saints Park in Raheny are boarded up and not in use?

The money companies will spend on wishful silly projects instead of paying human workers.

Macklemore called us Paddystinians and my heart sung ❤️✊🇵🇸

“The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.” - @zarahsultana.bsky.social proven right.

So in the name of public safety these "D8 Says No" anti-immigrant protestors are attacking people with knives on school grounds?

I used National Express Ireland's Dublin Express service to Dublin Airport and back last week, and was faced with these new stickers asking customers to tip the driver. When prompted with a feedback survey, I asked them to remove these adverts and pay drivers a fair wage.

#Greta wearing a Bohs jersey on her way to Gaza is legendary

Just caught up on #DoctorWho. that was something

I'm highly considering starting some fake LinkedIn accounts and commenting on all the "I never hesitate to use AI for" posts with demands that they hire workers for the task and protect their colleagues jobs.

Staying in someone's house and trying so hard not to aggressively laugh as TikTok serves you a video of mystery farting noises 🤫🤣

*Doctor* are you sexually active? *Me* not really but I'm politically active *Silence*

Travelling anywhere outside of Ireland and asking friends and family there if it's safe to keep a Palestinian flag on your bag is a bizarre thing to have to do.

Really enjoyed chatting to @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social on the Blindboy Podcast. We spoke about Thatcher, the power of art, and Palestine. Good craic! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

Love when nobody tells you there's going to be hours of loud roadworks outside your front door 🙉🫨

AI is not a good idea for breaking news

Ah it's Monday again

80% of the people I cycle/walk past in traffic are on their phones. On motorways & dual carriageways it’s probably 50/50. I got hit by a driver while cycling in Dublin recently and the only way he couldn’t have seen me was if he was looking at something else. The Gardaí haven’t even called me back.

Fluffy airplane 😍

I don't understand why you would want to play a game of you in a car looking out at cars and surroundings when YOU ARE IN A CAR?!

Spanish Met warning temperatures in parts of South could hit 40c this coming week.

Former Irish President (and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights) says it is her view that genocide is being committed by Israel - she’s called for sanctions and a suspension of arms trade with Israel. @virginmedianews.bsky.social
