In investigative journalism, reporters dig into evidence & present the conclusion *it has led to*.
In extremely online factions, the *belief is held*, & influencers backfill it w/justifications.
It’s distorted sensemaking, but the influencer-algorithm-crowd trinity shapes public opinion today.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Confidence in the Gardaí among the migrant community is on the floor at the moment. This has been going on for years and it has intensified to at least one attack every day now.

This week, coal generation ended at Moneypoint 🙌
With increased imports this summer thanks to the new Greenlink interconnector, we've seen grid carbon intensity falling to record lows for this time of year when, in the run-up to this announcement, these coal units have been intermittently offline.

The Good Friday Agreement was signed 27 years ago today. It was an act of delicate diplomacy, which delivered peace and security to a part of our country where those qualities had long been absent. Those achievements should never be taken for granted.

Tonight I've seen more images without alt text than I've ever seen in one short period. Do better people. It doesn't take that long. And I don't care if you are some big account that expects some person to add it in a reply. DO BETTER.
