Fantastic rollicking stuff here about the potential for a "post-American internet" and the broader enshittification thesis. Our threshold for holding our mouths open and letting techno-feudalist over lords pour crap down our throats has grown too waaaaaay too high.

No disrespect to @deanbuckley.bsky.social, who is a genuinely good journalist, but it is absolutely mental that he's the one who has had to pick up this Gareth Sheridan shit, as opposed to seeing some accountability from the much more high profile people who initially gave him positive attention

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Ireland had many statues honouring violent colonial figures - many Irish-born. Gough’s huge Phoenix Park statue honoured someone who enforced opium on China.
It was vandalised and blown up. Reexamining who we choose to honour is essential for any rational society.
And that goes for Herzog too.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

I have already ended up in a argument today with someone saying I shouldn't assume it was a far-right fire attack on an IPAS centre (following a number of far-right fire attacks on IPAS centres) because it was probably "kids messing with fireworks" so this is worth hammering home I think
So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.
