The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Fantastic news. It would be great if a sustainable breeding population of Cranes established itself in Ireland. 🤞 www.rte.ie/news/2025/06...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

What a world we live in #Tech

I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but Jim Ratcliffe looks like an absolute prick. #ManUtd #Ratcliffe

Ban bottom trawling now!

Great idea

My name, oh yes. It's J R Hartley.

Yamin Lamal is incredible #Barcelona #ChampionsLeague

Great to see progress on the #Rhododendron problem in #Killarney National Park from the NPWS. Good to see some deer proof fencing going up too.

Nuacht iontach!! Maith sibh agus go n-éiri libh @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social

Tim Montgomerie looks like off his head on #Newsnight tonight. Is he always like this? 🤪

Because he's an idiot? #Trump #Tariffs

Question: Suppose Israel kills N Palestinians tomorrow. What is the number N beyond which Western leaders will cry "Enough!" and do something tangible to stop Israel? At this stage it looks as if N tends to infinity (or, its Gaza equivalent, 2.2 mil) www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/...

"‘Point-Blank Range’: How Israel Executed 15 Medics and Rescue Workers in Gaza" Writing for Zeteo, Diana Buttu says she had a difficult time writing this essay because she could not stop thinking about the level of evil needed to carry this out.

This was an act of terrorism, but western governments will never proscribe the IDF, no matter how many acts of terrorism it carries out

Also, there should be rules about nepotistic appointments like this.

No surprise there, they've been raiding the public purse for at least three geneerations. www.independent.ie/irish-news/m...

It's stunning how a small minority continue to exert such control over the health of our seas despite the catastrophic damage they cause news.nationalgeographic.org/study-bottom...

Beautiful day for walking, but for many this is what passes for nature in the Irish countryside - a handful of native trees in plastic guards designed to screen the wall of alien conifers that blanket the hills

Why on earth do BBC #Newsnight keep getting that spoofer Sebastian Gorka on?

12,056 have applied for the Disability Access Route to Education (Dare) for CAO applications in Ireland, out of a total 83,424. That's nearly 15%!! #LeavingCert #CAO

Watching #Zelensky getting the Édouard Benes treatment from #Trump and JD Vance was excruciating.

*How Ireland Becomes A Nuclear Superpower* Liam: Right, we’ve got the rocket. Now all we need is some enriched uranium. Conor: ENRICHED uranium? *sucks through his teeth* Hang on, I might have something in the shed. *5 mins later* C: Will this do? L: The very thing, Conor. Good man yourself.

I'd never go in the sea again if that happened to me 😬 bbc.com/news/videos/...

Yet we can't countenance a few lynx, never mind wolves, in Ireland. #rewilding

www.rte.ie/lifestyle/li... 72% of all animals recorded in #Wicklow were an invasive species, Sika Deer and just three species, Red Fox, Red Squirell and Sika made up 93% of all mammals recorded in the project.

The Ceann Comhairle has said she will only recognise two technical groupings in the Dáil today, pending further considerations. The decision excludes the Regional Independent grouping

tinyurl.com/4sfj6t5p "The cause of eutrophication is severe damage by nutrient over-enrichment, mainly from agriculture. This has resulted in harmful algal blooms and fish kills and so little oxygen that few species can survive." Our environmental record is appalling. 😥

I'm going to make the sandwich to end all sandwiches with yesterday's leftovers today. 🥪 💪 #Christmas #Sandwiches

Again, I must recommend everyone wondering how this will go, read "Character Limit" by @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social. The near total lack of intellectual curiosity about how things work combined with the absolute confidence that he understands stuff he does not, is a dangerous combo.

Give it to Wambsgans until the end of the season
