PSA : If you're a journalist looking at the racist riots at citiwest wondering how they happened while you're writing a story focusing on the miniscule "spoiled votes" rather than the overwhelming majority votes - take a look in the mirror 👍

It's hard to see opposition to fox hunting, the orange order & refusing to learn Irish despite it being your job as sectarian.

This is just sectarianism against Irish Protestants dressed up in academic jargon

Fontaines D.C. bassist Conor 'Deego' Deegan Ill has taken to his Instagram stories to issue support for Catherine Connolly ahead of the presidential election this Friday.
"Catherine Connolly is the candidate of the uncolonized Irish mind; Heather Humphreys is the candidate of the mind colonised by Britain," he wrote in a statement posted yesterday afternoon.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Everything I know about Enoch Burke, Conor McGregor, Maria Steen (and countless others)... I know against my will. They are constantly driving the national narrative.
So much of our media is dominated by a format of asking "Does this dipshit have a point?. We'll discuss for 3 weeks".

"Charlie Kirk gave me the courage to be more transphobic" is a wild thing to put in a both-sides hagiography
www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

‘He Gave Me Confidence’: How Charlie Kirk Connected With Young Men
With his right-wing group Turning Point USA, Mr. Kirk engaged controversial topics. Some students were inspired. Others found his views appalling.

As a Christian, he did not always feel he could say what he actually thought about the issue.

“It’s kind of scary to say what you believe in, especially in this cancel culture,” said Porter LaFeber, a 22-year-old studying sciences at Utah Valley University who was at an event on Wednesday where Mr. Kirk was killed. “Charlie Kirk seemed like he just went totally above that. He kind of gave a voice to the people that were maybe a little bit scared.”

“He gave me the confidence to be able to believe what I believe,” Mr. LaFeber added.

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

Headline: BBC under pressure to pull Sally Rooney dramas over vow to fund Palestine Action

Headline: Tory minister Robert Jenrick pictured with former Nazi terror chief at far right protest.
