Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.

The so-called ceasefire might seem like a good excuse to bury the hatchet and enjoy a quieter family dinner, but it’s not.
Keep Talking About Gaza at Your Thanksgiving Table
Why we need to keep pushing for the end of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, even if that means an uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinner.

AI slop demonstrates not just the technological flexibility of Trump’s fascist aesthetics — it is the ultimate example of it, the culmination of the hateful dream of eliminating the human entirely.
The Algorithmic Presidency
Just as 20th-century fascists deployed radio and film, today’s ideological descendants use memes, social media, and above all, artificial intelligence.

Another week of no debate on government's housing plan.
We all know why...
They've removed annual targets to scrap accountability, and continue to funnel money into the pockets of wealthy developers and corporate landlords.

In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

I quite literally will never understand this take. I know that we always need *some* rental property available but the vast majority of people in Ireland want to own and we can't because of *drumroll please* landlords buying multiple properties to rent. Them leaving the market is what we want.
Landlords 'stampede' out of rental market ahead of new changes coming next year

The new rules and regulations will not affect tenants that have been in place before March 1 and after that date, they will see a six-year tenancy agreement put in place
Renters could be facing an even more uncertain market in the months ahead of new tenancy rules that are coming into effect

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
