To understand Steen's demographic, you have to realize there are people who think a working-class blue-haired barista on minimum wage is the Establishment, while upper-middle-class professional Catholics of multi-generational wealth are the oppressed disenfranchised politically homeless.

Solid journalism

Richard Chambers @newschambers.bsky.social · Aug 13

Interviewed Gareth Sheridan this morning - he says it's time for an end to 'left - right divisive' politics.

That's despite being introduced to councillors by Senator Sharon Keogan - who said LGBT+ people were involved in an 'organised takeover' of society... and who has posted "#IrelandisFull".

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".

And so it begins.

This speaker at yesterdays Limerick anti-migrant demo asked the assembled crowd if they were 'proud of the people they descended from.'

The demo was literally called by Gerard McNamara, in a green cap beside him.

McNamara bludgeoned his own father to death. A true patriot of Ireland

The National Party, Blighe and Steenson marched in Cork at the weekend under a 'WWG1WGA' banner.

Blighe literally led people around the city with a tricolour scrawled with the imported US QAnon brain-addled conspiracy theory.

These PaYtri0Ts are beyond embarrassment.

Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

Need to be extremely clear that the technical justifications offered in this piece are fucking jibberish. You do not make the WiFi better by adding more APs from another network that is effectively unmanaged in the same spectrum.

UPDATE ON MY LATEST PODCAST: Oregon’s Dept of Justice agreed to pay a $2 million settlement to the man wrongly convicted of Michael Francke’s murder—he served 29 years in prison before his release.

This baffling case remains unsolved. Who do YOU think was the killer?

Preliminary thoughts: astonishment.

The judge told the gov't to be prepared to answer four specific questions.

Gov't showed up and refused.

NEW: Last year, @johnnyryan.bsky.social made a website for a fake company using a photo of Russian soldiers to purposely elicit suspicion. A US data broker offered him access to thousands of lists of American devices anyway. Many lists targeted US leaders and defense contractors.
