Letting hunger strikers die, arresting Greta Thunberg — this is not incompetence or even indifference. The UK state is deliberately making examples of people to ramp up the crushing of basic civil liberties and silence opposition to genocide

Scandalously at 1am, the government has just pushed through a law with far reaching ramifications.
It allows them to sign up to a parallel court process only accessible by corporations. There they can sue Ireland if we do anything to interfere with their "right" to profit.

This is a great read. @dan-bean.bsky.social and @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com are so thoughtful in their approach to releasing music, "ambient", psychedelia, release perfectionism ("it's a curse") vs fluidity.

Imagine the impact we could have on the housing crisis if towns all over Ireland became hubs for remote workers.
Instead of trying to squeeze everyone into Dublin we could reinvigorate towns that have seen young people leave in droves #spéirgorm
