If you've been at Lady's Island Lake recently, you'll notice it is not looking well. We're calling on Minister James Browne and all responsible state agencies to answer some outstanding questions on action to #SaveLadysIslandLake
The publication of some documentation has begun, but Qs remain.

U2 have unveiled a surprise tribute song for Renee Good from the upcoming EP/Days Of Ash. Rather than a traditional rollout, U2 opted for an immediate drop, reinforcing the sense of timeliness surrounding the music.

Folks, @womensaidireland.bsky.social have closed their X account on principle. Follow them here, give them some real engagement to acknowledge both the rightness of that decision, but also of letting go of high follower numbers (even if the algorithm meant that no longer signified actual reach).

Shocking response from the Minister, essentially the "guns don't kill, people do" defence of Musk's CSAM machine. Also spectacular cognitive dissonance, when only last month he was claiming we all need to give up our digital rights to protect children online. #Spéirghorm
"It's not necessarily the app that's making the images... it's people using the app that's making the images. Making images of that sort is reprehensible..."
No, people are asking the app to make the images.
IT'S A FEATURE. Not a bug.

It was on this day in 1742, in Dublin , that George Frederic Handel's "Messiah" was performed for the first time.
It happened at the New Music Hall in Fishamble Street. The performance was a fundraising event for charities and prisoners, with tickets costing a half-guinea each.

How is this possible? Who cares if there's "lack of public support". A completely unique 6000 year old site that provides evidence of early farming technology, right now when the climate is collapsing? How is that not interesting? Protect the fucker www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

The Céide Fields, one of the most important and extensive Stone Age monuments in the world, was ditched as a possible World Heritage Site due to a “lack of public support”.
