The LUAS Red Line was thrown into chaos at rush hour this evening due to an incident at St James's. In order to find out what was going on with the service, the LUAS expected thousands of affected passengers to check their X account. It's ridiculous, enraging, and at this stage totally unacceptable
I posted on X for the first time In ages. Immediately deleted the post. Holy Christ. It’s bad bad. Like sticking your head in a wasps nest

Musk has been instrumentalising Twitter/X to feed reactionary politics and its concomitant disinformation networks for the past two years. Staying there gives tacit consent to that destructive project. And yet so many institutions, politicians, broadcasters & companies remain there, morally inert.

I don't care what anybody says, the inspiration for the Ferengi in Star Trek is clearly the Irish. Unrelentingly greedy little leprechauns with big heads, who come from a place where it's always raining... Smmfh

When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

But critics argue that Ireland, awash with cash from a corporation tax bonanza paid by global firms with big operations in the country, is using its neutral status to duck its 21st-century responsibilities.

Won't see it in the mainstream media? What's The Times of London?
Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

Lando's to lose still, but he had it basically won if the result stood. That's basically 36 points the team's mistakes have cost him now. So frustrating for him.

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

Calling on the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.
