I’m in one of those photos! ☺️ ☘️

A photo montage by North Carolina Courage, featuring an action shot of Denise O’Sullivan playing for Courage, plus two shots of Ireland fans that were taken during the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

The montage is for a post where Courage players were asked for the coolest place that soccer has taken them. Denise’s answer was going to Australia for the Women’s World Cup.

If you look near the left shoulder of no. 7, Diane Caldwell, you’ll see me!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

A message from Liam Óg....

A massive thank you to my legal team.

Darragh, Judge, blinne, Brenda, Gareth and to all at Phoenix Law.

A special thanks also to my interpreter Susan.

This entire process was never about me, never about any threat to the public and never about "terrorism", A word used by your government to discredit people you oppress.

It was always about Gaza.

About what happens if you dare speak up.

As people from Ireland we know oppression, colonialism, famine and genocide.

We have suffered and still suffer under "Your empire".

Your attempts to silence us have failed, because we are right, and you are wrong.

We will not be silent.

We said we would fight you in your court and we would win.

We have.

If anyone on this planet is guilty of terrorism, it is the British state.

Free Palestine!

asthmatics and hay fever sufferers, please take care 🙏

A NSW health warning to hay fever and asthma sufferers about the increased risk of “thunderstorm asthma between October and December”.

This occurs because of the increased incidence of thunderstorms at this time of year, combined with higher levels of pollen in the air.

The fatal problem facing America and the West is that most people still seem to think they can op-ed their way out of this white supremacist fascist hell. You cannot commentate your way out of structural oppression. For the billionth time: organise, strike, and take action. Now

If you’re interested in the strength of our democracy, this is worth a read.

Labor & the Coalition rammed electoral reform laws through parliament to make it harder for minor parties & indies.

Now there's a bill to reduce transparency in the FOI system.

the total lack of interest from business and media elites in defending the liberal norms that underpin civil society and like, modern capitalism for that matter has been truly shocking

we are in really unsettling place that we're facing a deeply unpopular regime that is making everything appreciably worse but the people with the power to stand up to them and takes steps to maintain basic political stability are capitulating without a fight

Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. 1,600.
And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade.

It’s not that we can’t act against a genocide, it’s that we are choosing not to.
