Seems to me that it used to be that *creating non-consensual intimate images of women and children* would be the sort of thing that Conservatives might publicly be against.
But what a world we inhabit.

Una Mullally: How rotten does X have to be before politicians finally leave it?

On an iphone, you find the apps on the App Store, you scroll to the bottom of its listing to where it says “Report a Problem”.
Follow the drop down menus to report something illegal.
Here’s my report, as an example. Just takes 2 minutes.

3) Write to your TD and ask them to join Gary Gannon, Niamh Smith and (supposedly) Patrick O’Donovan and leave X.
4) This is the secret bonus action but may actually be the most important.
Report the X and Grok apps on the Apple App Store & Google Play Store.
They hold the real power here.

Irish governments protect beef cattle with more vigour than children. We breed both for export though.
Very well said @tupped.bsky.social. It’s all about the framing… how do we feel about having a child sex abuse material factory in Dublin 2?
(In Ireland of all places, where we have a long history of ignoring such places when they are run by ’respectable’ institutions)

New Gist: The Abuse Factory
It shouldn't be difficult to act swiftly and without hesitation when the question posed is "Is it OK to work with the child sexual abuse material factory?" But our state failed this most straightforward of tests this week.

"Under the 'Compromise Scenario', Denmark would agree to give Trump full military access to Greenland and deny access to Russia and China."
This is the status quo. We've had it since before Trump was born. It's the most open-ended "put whatever you want here" deal we have for any foreign territory.

I think we’re at the Rubicon.
Who knows, of course, but it feels like what happens over the next few weeks will define the rest of our lives.

Ages ago, we were talking about nicknames, and my favourite was the bloke at work (in the early 90s) who we called Big Ted. His name wasn't Ted, and he wasn't particularly big, it's just that his desk was right next to a round window.
