A totally normal thing to be doing on a Sunday.

Remember a few years ago when Julien Mercille wrote the obvious in his book about the media’s role in austerity? That it closed ranks and manufactured consent around government cutbacks?

Remember when all the big names at the papers claimed offence at this very simple fact?

Former political prisoner Enoch Burke supporting the same govt he fought against. Sad to see another revolutionary fall into the pipeline of electoralism. /s

So to repeat: Mr Burke is voting for Heather Humphreys. Only she can save Ireland now, he insists.

Anyone else notice she had to grab his wrists to stop him pointing so aggressively at her?

Might have been someone else though?

This can happen when the primary battery has been removed for a long period of time.

The internal battery slowly loses its charge. But then once the main battery is back in it takes a while for the internal one to charge up and remain stable.

I had it happen with my old Nikon.

Have found myself reading more this year. That’s due to being more settled in my new position in work, kiddo older, and a conscious decision.

I only have a handful of audio books. I much prefer physical books. I also tend to heavily notate and underline my non-fiction books.

Something similar is used in an episode of Father Ted. The Christmas Special I believe.

It’s possible Hitler actually killed her personally or had her killer.

I believe the gun used was his and she had a broken nose.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 3d

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.

Nazis were always just like that it seems.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 4d

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Holidays from secondary school in Ireland in the early 2000s were spent watching daytime television.

Get Behind Me, Cethan! @cethanleahy.com · 4d

It still is very odd to me how much terrible daytime TV I watched as a teenager remains useful for understanding the modern day.

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Thank goodness Mary Harney has made it known she supports Humphreys, what kind of election could survive without the kiss of death from the worst fucking people in Irish politics?

I don’t think most people realise — and this is the media’s fault — that Burke has been in corridors and rooms of the school for months if not since close to the start of all this.

He’s a danger to students based on his now very obvious pathology.

Carole (Ducky) (IrPsych) @caroleducky.bsky.social · 4d

The utter arrogance displayed by Burke is both astounding & unsurprising.

‘Burke has continued to trespass at the school, in breach of a court order.’
