Shoutout to one of my fave tweets ever of all time

Martin Leahy tweets:

“There was a bus going through Béal na Bláth once and the bus driver announced to the passengers, 'This is where Michael Collins died' and someone on the bus said 'Tis a bad bend alright'.”

Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

With Ian Watkins gone it's important to look at the legacy of Lostprophets without considering the actions of their twisted and unforgivable frontman as we need to evaluate with a clear head that their music sucked ass

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

They clearly wanted there to be a quicker backlash so they can play their shitty "SEE THEY WANT EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING IRISH REMOVED!!!!" card but nobody really caused a fuss and they were quietly removed but still gotta keep the grift up

They're claiming it's over the Irish flags being taken down which is an absolute lie-they've been planning this for a while I got a brochure for the counter demo last week and the flags were only taken down by the Council two days ago

Why let them lie unchallenged?

The Journal @thejournal.ie · 3h

Far-right protestors demonstrated today against Cork City Council’s recent decision to remove flags put up in the city by anti-migrant groups.

Gardaí deployed large numbers in response to online comments during the week.

Part of the fun of the books is that these are ancient relationships that are ever flowing and complex they're not meant to find an end point they're immortal beings

You Call Yourself a Film Critic @filmcriticmaybe.bsky.social · 1h

Oh yeah for sure I'm not gonna pretend any of them are saints they're fucking vampires lol but Armand particularly fucked them both over especially with Claudia (again dunno what version of events they went with I need to watch the show)

Absolutely agreed this doesn't need "resolution"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I haven't watched the show yet so they may have changed this but isn't Armand like extremely abusive lol

And yeah not to be all heteronormative here (about queer pairings) not that you can't get drama out if polyamorous relationships but it's a hell of a lot easier to do so out of love triangles 🤷‍♀️

Sara Hinkley @boneysoups.bsky.social · 1h

Someone at the TVL NYCC panel asked if the writers had considered "solving" the louis-lestat-armand love triangle with a throuple and the response was an emphatic NO (lol) and i have a take brewing that readers/fans are drawn to imagining solutions where writers are more about loving problems
