Lots of Non-Irish people telling me they love House of Guinness on Netflix. I can't bring myself to watch it because I know it's Brit's-Ireland-Peaky-Prism nonsense. Well worth revisiting the definitive Guinness take by @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social instead

Ireland against Fascism @irlagainstfascism.bsky.social · 4d

Typical gardaí who've allowed the far-right bigots block roads, stop traffic, discommode people going about the daily lives. But, pro Palestinian marchers get battered & pepper sprayed with vicious intent.

Where's the 'softly, softly' approach now?!

My friend Sarah Clancy is currently in IOF captivity, kidnapped last night when her boat, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, was illegally intercepted in international waters.

Some boats are still sailing. Do what you can - wherever you are - to amplify & protest. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

The knuckle-pointing thing is a classic Cameron-Obama era politicial comms tactic for guys who point too much. It's supposed to be forceful but not threatening #aras25

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Comedian Tim Dillon said on his podcast last month that he signed up for financial reasons.
He said he had been offered "a large sum of money" - $375,000 for one performance - and said that other comedians had been offered as much as $1.6 million. He told his detractors to "get over it," adding, "So what if they have slaves, they're paying me enough to look the other way."
But in an episode of the Tim Dillon Podcast last week, the comedian announced he'd been removed from the lineup for the comments he made about the country's record on slavery.

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

The film “holy mountain” by Alejandro Jodorowsky is based on John of the Cross and possibly explores some of this. Hard to tell because it’s nuts

New poster for the @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social podcast just dropped.

Disturbing poster/screen that says AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT in big letters. There is a picture of the scrotum-faced Kennedy off to the left.

I’ve been reporting on influencers for more than seven years now and today I had an academic decline to do an interview about them for the first time out of fear of government retaliation.

And re the white nationalism bit. The product was pushed by a fella called Harold Von Braunhut. He also invented sea monkeys, he pioneered mail order sales from magazines. Despite being Jewish, he donated millions to the KKK and Aryan brotherhood throughout his life

I love old magazines. Mostly for ads. In old medieval manuscripts, the most valuable info is often in the marginalia rather than the main text. The notes that monks made in margins. Ads are like the marginalia of old magazines. You learn so much about the fears and attitudes people had then

I was on the internet archive looking through a bodybuilding magazine from 1977. I saw this self defense ad, and then I went researching, and it turns that the money generated from sales directly funded the KKK. White nationalism, fear, fear of not being masculine enough. Always side by side
