Minerals deal, not signed- White House.

Trying to intimidate a man who has lost thousands of soldiers and civilians, who has to shelter from rockets and drones regularly because Russia has invaded their country. Did they think he would just roll over like all the other sycophants that surround Agent Orange. Disgraceful stuff. #Zelenski

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Big performance from Miley. He's is proving that he is a top top player. #NUFC

This is extremely good. Pistorius tells Vance where to get off. (first part in German with translation, the rest in English) www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Rl...

Tonali, Trippier, Isak & Gordon were🤌. Another trip to Wembley. Let's make this one count. #NUFC

New Sky Atlantic Italian TV series about the rise of Mussolini has dropped. Have to say the timing couldn't be better given the rise of the right across the world. Superb production. Marinelli's performance is outstanding. The soundtrack perfectly matches the intensity of the time. #speirgorim

What is Trumps end game with Canada? It's clearly nothing to do with his farcical assertions around drugs crossing the border. Is his real aim to force Canadians into submission by creating economic chaos to eventually accept U.S. Government control. On what planet does he think will ever happen.

Never was there a need for punk music than now. Never was there a need for a cultural revolution than now. The young need to get a voice, get an identify and get angry. It's your future being gambled on by politicians.

Finally, the longest January since records began is over. Imbolc is here.

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

Dear southsiders, we do not care about the 46a. Where's the damn metro to the airport promised when I was in secondary school?

Honestly, it feels like the windows are about to blow in. Seems to calm down for a bit and then come back with gusto. #stormeowyn #speirgorim

A radical charismatic Christian movement has seeped into Trump world, Stephanie McCrummen reports. It has little use for pluralism, individual rights, or democracy. And now, with Trump returning to the White House, its war on the secular state begins:

The number of houses built last year DECREASED by 6.7% according to the CSO. A total of 30,330 homes were built in 2024.

When fear spreads in a society, powerful people who know better are often the first to show their weakness. Sycophancy has momentum, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes, but so does courage.

You know who believes in climate change...house insurance companies

Similar to the Sunday papers, why aren't there Sunday podcasts? Sunday is the perfect day to relax and listen to a summary of the weeks news in a podcast form. #Politics #news #podcasts

Irish People React To Israel Closing Dublin Embassy:

All I want for Christmas is for the media to add the Bluesky Butterfly "Share" button on each article beside the X, FB, and other buttons.

Was in the local gym last night. Ireland has really changed. Lots of teenager's working out, socialising and enjoying themselves. A different generation. My day all we had was the pub, the local field or a neighbours wall. I think it's a good thing but also feel like they're missing out #Speirgorm

My doggo awake at 4am barking..I eventually persuade him to stop. Me, ah sure, I'll be back asleep in no time. Brain, yeah but have you thought about this, and oh this? No? What about this. No sleep it is so 😠 #Speirgorm #sleeplessinfingal time for caffeine

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump. "So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

Why is it when your running late and under pressure to make an online meeting, windows decides it needs an extra 10 mins to load up. Every time. #morning #Speirgorm

Every EU & UK politician who called for #Syria refugees to be sent home in recent years - saying it was safe - should apologize. Every journalist should call them out on their past statements. Every voter who fell for these politicians' nonsense should pledge not to be fooled in future.

This is a great game so far. Two QBs are in top form and as for Puka Nacua. Different level. Unbelievable catch and seems unstoppable at the moment. #NFL

#McLaren World Champions #F1 🏆

Flawless performance from Norris and entertaining performance from Piastri. Nothing Ferrari could do. #F1

Every one of my Syrian and non-Syrian colleagues is aware of the huge risks surrounding the post-revolutionary order in Syria. But if everyone pre-emptively abandons hope then the world flees into paralysis that fails to encourage many hopeful trends that can be found too.

In 2017 I gave a bedroom to a refugee from #Syria who'd been in direct provision & needed accommodation. He became a brother to me & I regard him & his family as my family. Trying not to be too hopeful, because who knows what the future holds, but the thought of Assad fleeing fills me with joy. 🇸🇾

I was recently diagnosed autistic, just like Anna. Books are so important to me, so I wanted to share books for young readers with autistic protagonists. Freya Harte for 13+ years All others for 9+ years #LateLateToyShow #BookElves2024

Ah here. Who's this little fella. He belongs on the stage. To remember and recite all that. #latelatetoyshow

Mother duck #latelatetoyshow

Pop on this loud boy. This fella is gas. #latelatetoyshow

Jaysus this lads well able to talk. Good man. #Latelatetoyshow

This is Big Mac. He is a wonderful gentle giant of a street dog who has advanced kidney failure. I gave him a golden ticket 🎫 to stay with us and live out his days. Today I wanted to give him the best day of his life. I think we succeeded… (1/8) 🧵

Morning after my work Christmas party. Exhausted, anxious, still slightly tipsy with a light dusting of panic. Oh, well 😂.

Still not the better of that game ⚽️. Thought Tonali had his best game yet. Hopefully, we've turned a corner now. Need to bring that level of intensity every week. #NUFC

it's tuesday evening and we're korean

I'm at the National Assembly building. The army is here. And I just saw two soldiers in fatigues getting pushed around by belligerent ajusshis. and they looked legit scared.
