Fantastic video comparing the functionality of X vs Bluesky and some of the really nifty things we can do on Bluesky since they have full apis and open protocols: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoBx...

A vote for Aontú is a vote for Fianna Fáil. A vote for Aontú is a vote to strip abortion rights & bodily autonomy. Vote for PBP, the only ones ruling out coalition with FF&FG, then transfer left. Don't be duped by Aontú & other right-wingers who want to roll back hard-won rights. #ge24 #SpéirGhorm

When a person in the street is yelling into a megaphone about some insanity, none of us are obligated to approach and engage to dispute their madness and have our eardrums pummelled in the process. Politely ignoring and getting on with our own lives has long been accepted as the civil thing to do.

“After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free. Free from Elon Musk, and his tedious quest to turn X into a right-wing echo chamber where he and his friends are the permanent, inescapable main characters.”

Reviewing the Manifestos of the main parties: Fine Gael "Continuing the Landlord Tax Credit until 2030 for landlords who stay in the rental market, encouraging stability." Using tax breaks to prop up rent-seeking behaviour in order to provide "stability" to a broken system... very cool. #GE24

✨Little reminder that Aontu exists because Peadar Tóibín resigned from Sinn Fein because of its support for Repeal. They want to seriously curtail women’s access to abortion, and would overturn repeal if they could.✨
