As I think @alanlester.bsky.social has mentioned, if you want to most brutal takedown of British Imperial policy look no further than William Dalrymple's The Anarchy- which analyses how the EIC tricked its way into dominance of India, and killed millions on the way. Olusoga is kind by comparison.
1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

i don't want nato to help us with that, because i don't want them to have anything to do with us at all & there is a diplomatic solution to the problem in sight that the majority on the island agreed to. i'm just pointing out the absurdity of badgering us to join an alliance founded by the brits.

@mickennedy.bsky.social ‬ asked how "Ireland responded to brexit".

a quick 🧵

TL;DR: "Ireland has played a blinder. It's already 10 - 0 to Ireland and it's only half time. Brexit is only just beginning to unravel.".

I've said this before and I'll say it again: almost all of the arguments deployed in favour of Ireland joining European military structures are based on obfuscation, made-up threats, and scaremongering

This is particularly stupid given *there are good arguments in favour of it*. They're never used

Excellent!
If only the #Irish govt would legislate & provide a net positive for #Ireland. Sadly, they're too thick, & in other cases, wilfully ignorant to do anything about #Cannabis.
Obvious vested interests, lobbying also: #Alcohol #Pharmaceutical & #Christian bodies
Cannabis legalization drives significant decline in Canadian drug crime
Canada has seen a decline in drug crime over the past decade, with much of that decline attributed to the legalization of cannabis in 2018.

Many thanks to aborist Bernard Carey who tells us about the value of trees and the long history of tree planting in the village of Mountshannon in County Clare, and to Eibhlín Dunne who showed us Ireland’s largest Oak the Bé Binn. Tonight 22 – 23 on Mooney Goes Wild @rteradio1.bsky.social

Update. Having rolled out feature that showed where everyone was living... thus exposing all those "patriot" accounts as foreign peddlers of disinformation... Musk thought better of it and removed it

I'm 3 episodes in to Hector's new travel show Oz / Nz on TG4 & tá sé tharr barr.

How he highlights the unequal situation of the Aboriginal people in Australia is excellent.

He spoke to people that were taken as children & put into industrial schools.
The stories are heartbreaking.
