“Nothing bad happens in the puppy box.” More than a million people have watched “Puppy Live,” a round-the-clock livestream of newborn puppies in Finland. The cameras will roll until the pups go to their permanent homes in December. nyti.ms/4zgQxZB

I mean, at this point the White House is just a cesspool.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

How the hell can he stand there and say that with a straight face and not a modicum of shame.

JD Vance: "There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulent over access to the government than Donald J Trump"

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

When I say I don't understand the economy I'm saying I don't understand why there's always infinity dollars available to burn when rich people have a chance to do something stupid and racist

Trump declared that Russia “has been fine on Ukraine” and “hasn’t been doing much.” Hours earlier, a Russian drone struck a park, killing a 1-year-old girl in her stroller and her mother.

Yes, who can forget the violent Reign of Terror (September 5, 1793 – July 27, 1794) in France, which was famously conducted by unassimilated people from third-world countries? [Checks actual history.] Oh, wait. They were French. Yale owes the world an apology for this idiot.

I strongly condemn the unwashed laundry in my laundry basket. I strongly condemn the soup stain on the kitchen floor. I strongly condemn the dirty dishes... Weird. It didn't get those chores done. Condemning shit is not action. It achieves *nothing*. It's a meaningless substitute for action.

The European Union has said that it "strongly condemns" an attack the previous day by a group of Israeli settlers on visiting European diplomats

Enoch Burke has been ordered back to prison for a sixth time after the High Court found he deliberately breached an order to stay away from Wilson’s Hospital School. A judge also ordered the seizure of a car used to bring him to the school.

This poster was due to go up in Dublin - but it was refused by some advertisers as it’s too “politically sensitive”. We may have been censored. We won’t be silenced. Repost this, send it around & spread the word. Go to aodhan.ie/act to sign our petition to SCRAP the EU-Israel trade agreement.

Sonya reposted

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The man with artificial hair, teeth, doctor’s reports, lifts in his shoes, scalp reduction surgery, a girdle, and a painted orange face claims we’re his enemy if we use the word “artificial.”

Dear American, There is plenty of AC in Europe. I don't live in an area that warrants it. I have a weekly garbage collection for waste, glass & recycling. My fridge has an ice maker (cubed & crushed). I also have a dryer. Yours sincerely, 21st Century European.

No amount of propaganda can make people believe That a lifeless dead zone for nature can ever pass as a real living forest of bio diversity and eco system abundance Though I know some people who think these are actually forests

Eoghan Daltun 🌍@irishrainforest.bsky.social

Irish state radio RTE 1 currently running Coillte ads almost nonstop, telling us they're planting forests for nature, climate, and people. They're *complete* spoofers and, what's more, they know it. Otherwise there'd be no need for the relentless, but futile, propaganda.

What on earth is happening with Americans? What in the holy hell is actually wrong with them?

I didnt know it gets funnier than a whole ass United States Senator accusing a man of being at a Hawks game in ATL when he was at a Hawkeyes game in MD, BUT... He let every media outlet know he had a big moment coming so they all saw him clown himself and watched Amy Klobuchar clean up the pieces.

I don't want to hear about the football. I don't want to see the football. Screw every single coward playing this match. Screw the FAI, and quite frankly, go f€&k yourself Israel.

The Chinese Communist Party got access to sensitive components of U.S. F-35 stealth fighters. The U.S. got 2 pandas.

Micheál Martin applauded at the UN, condemning what’s happening in Gaza/West Bank “Nobody will be able to say that we did not know. Let it not be said that we did not act.’ Meanwhile his Gov has refused visas to fully funded students from Gaza. Talking out of both sides of his mouth

Why is the FAI worried about an unknown, likely exaggerated, punishment from UEFA for doing the right thing and yet the Israeli FA can throw out lies, insults and threats with no consequences? It is unthinkable that Ireland fulfils these games, the FAI must boycott, it's not too late #StopTheGames

Sonya reposted

It's so fucking depressing and humiliating to beg and beg and beg for our country to do the right thing JUST ONCE, despite it clearly being something the vast majority of Irish people support. But no - the small people clinging to the levers of power will go their own way, to our eternal shame.

Philip O'Connor@philipoconnor.bsky.social

These are the people that the FAI and the Irish government, players and coaching staff are bending the knee for - bitter, entitled genocide-deniers protected by bigger nations, pissing in the faces of those who support the right of the Palestinian people to exist. For shame.

Ireland’s Classic Hits radio station is boycotting Ed Sheeran’s music as well. Also worth noting once again our national TV broadcaster is not broadcasting Eurovision next year because of Israel. If you think the Irish acts and Ireland’s stance is too much then you don’t understand our history 🧵
