Micheál Martin lied to journalists when he said armed US soldiers weren't landing at Shannon Airport.
Martin said there are “no weapons” passing through the airport – but his colleague Darragh O’Brien authorised US troops carrying guns to land there.

Not the main point of this piece but good that people keep remembering this
![The Oscars themselves were created in 1927 by MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer to pacify Tinseltown’s growing desire to support the labor of artists. As studios gulped down profits, talent below and above the line began to demand adequate shares of the pie. So the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was born as a mechanism to numb their ambitions and sow division among the labor force in Hollywood. “I found that the best way to handle [filmmakers] was to hang medals all over them,” Mayer said. “If I got them cups and awards, they’d kill themselves to produce what I wanted.” The ceremony has remained a smug political distraction ever since. In 1990, when an L.A. Times editorial questioned the Academy’s snubbing of Do the Right Thing, then-president Karl Malden wrote a letter to the editor: “The members of this academy have done more to combat racial hatred and racial misunderstanding than all the editorial writers in all the newspapers in the world.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hnfu3bkkzu6iwnnhh63jmvm4/bafkreiatxvinowza6di6cguisshhnulgi7h2ulgkchektxx4gqznh4dt64)

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.

No live coverage on The Guardian of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
They had no problem giving us a live coverage of the Kirk funeral.
They don't even need to spend resources to cover the GSF. They can just report what they see on the live feed.

Couldn’t agree with this more. Not only does our algorithm-focused entertainment model trap us in binge-watching loops, it also prioritizes the safe and the nostalgic over all else - encouraging endless rewatches of Friends or The Office over a new show or an original movie.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare

When Michael Collins was released, some English critics were furious about inaccuracies in the Hollywood movie. For example, the *kind of* guns used to shoot civilians in Croke Park was not right.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔
