Spoiler. It’s cos they are both in round 3

Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal is once again publishing propaganda on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, this time by printing pseudoscience.

Every instinct in me says this is some Young FG member trying to impress his neoliberal mates.

@irishrainforest.bsky.social Dereliction is awful but 7 years ago my neighbour bought their house and never moved in and never rented it out. The whole urban back garden is now a forest and is home to hundreds of small birds. I’m constantly fighting it back but I love the noise the birds make.

Not one of my 1 article published in the Irish times was included. Your loss AI. Jokes on you.

@kneecapceol.bsky.social to Keir starmer

Of all the posts in social media the ones I enjoy least are the “I swear, I’m going to post less” posts. Shit or get off the pot.

Trump doesn’t just need to implement his policies. He needs for people to believe they have gained more from his dictatorial leadership than they miss their lack of personal freedoms. Otherwise what he does can be reversed in 3.5 years. I’m not sure how he can do that.

@kenfoxe.bsky.social intresting

The move from x to BSky seems to have slowed to a trickle. Maybe it's just me but I am seeing fewer interesting posts here than on X. I don't use social media to find community. I'm lucky. I have that. I use it to perk my interest. When someone says something that makes me think. BSky doesn't.

This is Robbie Keane all over again. You don't miss the water till the well runs dry.

Reminder that for the US welfare state, the point is not to relieve poverty but to best manage the specter of destitution as a means of disciplining the bottom rung of labor. Countless academics point out it's cheaper to simply house people but for the super rich, in the long run, it absolutely isnt

125 kmph is not high speed but anyway. The first 3 hours should be a dance train then the last 5 should be for sleeping it off. 🎹 From Paris to Berlin in every disco I go in...

The weight of mammals bread for human consumption v wild mammals is 15 to 1. Yet we see this policy from one of the most environmentally thoughtful nations on the planet. Are we incapable of doing what is required to make our species get back into equilibrium and save the planet?

There's a tradition of film directors and studios congratulating each other for beating their box office records. In 1977, when STAR WARS beat Jaws to become the highest-grossing movie ever, Steven Spielberg took out the below ad for George Lucas in Variety. 1/11

Thanks to the boffins in FBD insurance I can confirm in the future the people of Bray will get that planning permission for a pyramid down the cove sorted out once and for all. Also Gino's will still be open.

A few American eejits don't get joke and a ton of Irish people feel like they need to come to the rescue demanding that Bluesky be cleansed of all eejits because their online pal has to read some stupid replies. Would you all grow up. FFS.

Tradition is never, of itself, enough of a reason to continue doing something. If people find what you are doing repugnant and the only defence you have is that you have always done it. Sorry but you need to stop. Seems obvious but people get away with it all the time.

Can see this becoming extreme with mass laxative purchases made the morning of Dec 31st. But given the consistency I can't see it catching on. #notoiletbrushneeded

You know the way you can see when someone is typing on Whattsapp and some other social media sites? We shouldn't be. That shit is 'non yo business'

Novak is right about this. There needs to be consistency.

New Bobby Fingers, a joy as always youtu.be/NF4VJJKTjy8?...

Is there a reason pop tarts aren't big in Ireland? I think I only ever had them twice. Dougal did mention them on Fr. Ted once. I mean they don't seem very healthy but we eat coco pops.

I think this is almost certainly true.

You live and learn. Knew there was a chocolate factory near Finglas but didn't know the Oompa Lumpa's ran it.

RIP RIP.ie

Sometimes the EU is great.

The only thing I don't like about James Bond is how unrealistic the bad guys are. Why would technological geniuses want to destroy democracies and the planet? Oh.

My most valuable possession is my monkey Judy. I got her on my second Christmas. I just found out it's a 'Jacko Monkey' Made by Chad Valley toys in the late 70s. I saw pictures of others. Judy is the best. 12/10

The worst thing about capitalism is that the very worst people are the biggest winners. It's literally how it's set up.

Absolutely loved this.

Knocked over to my brother this morning. He was watching UK Border Patrol circa 2008. Nothing says Christmas like salivating over some poor unfortunate being deported back to Pakistan cos he didn't do enough hours in his sham school.

My sister and her mother before her celebrate Ramadan Christmas. Nothing to do with religion. We just don't get to eat our Christmas dinner till it's bleedin dark!

You would love this new Christmas Movie "Carry On". Right up you street.

So much for 'leave no trace'.

The Moomens. I had so many nightmares.

Pfft! He threw it like a girl! 😂

Musk could buy UK citizenship in 24 hours! 😂

This ad absolutely infuriates me. I don't care how good looking she is. It's drivel.

In other news, The Irish are unsurprised to realize they are not one of the 33 developed nations.

Not suggesting this happened for a moment but there is a massive financial interest for any club that pays way over the odds for a player, with a huge wage bill to try to find a reason to be able to get out of that contract.

Just started a new job and the fizzy drinks are complementary and kitkats are only 80 cent in the vending machine in the canteen. Ah well, I guess that annual Gym membership I bought last month was money wasted.

She doth protest to much. When she does it this much it comes across as doom spiraling.

That Nedved guy must have been rubbish.

@irishrail.bsky.social At first I thought you scooter ban petty and environmentally backward. No longer.

Prediction. We won't have to pay the 30 billion cause lots of other bigger countries won't hit their targets either.

It's seems counter intuitive but the owner of the most successful electric car company ever never gave a crap about the environment. It was always just an economic play.
