This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

Mourning the monumental loss of one of the brightest souls in music history, Perry Bamonte of The Cure. We were incredibly lucky to have known him.
To honor his memory and celebrate his life, I wanted to share a selection of photos (some never before seen) that I took at Troxy in November 2024.

Will Sergeant recently sat down with the team at BOSS for a deep dive into his iconic Roland and BOSS setup — and how he’s been shaping the sound of post-punk since 1978.
A proper treat for gear heads and Bunnymen fans alike. 🎸🔥.

Me me me post: I wrote an album with my good friend Mark Bourke and it's out on Monday. Honestly, it's very good. I'm well aware of the cringe potential, but I’m really trying to keep this in the "healthy creative outlet" bracket and well away from "full-blown midlife crisis". #Sperigorm #IrishIndie

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 60 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile
Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants
Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight killed at least 60 Palestinians, including 22 children, in what appeared to be the gravest challenge yet to the increasingly fragile US-brokered ceasefire and one of the deadliest days since the truce began.
The strikes, which according to Gaza’s civil defence agency killed many children and injured 200 people, took place hours after the US president, Donald Trump, said “nothing” would jeopardise the ceasefire agreement he helped broker. Continue reading...

That House of Guinness thing is woeful. Industrial levels of Paddywhackery. There's a leprechaun in the first 5 mins and I think he's a main character. Paul Knight writes like a 14 year old boy.
