In the month or two before June 2026 pogroms a network of racist anti immigration social media accounts were ramping up in rhetoric and activity, priming their NI followers for violence, waiting for a spark. The past few days has felt similar, with pages sharing increasingly inflammatory content.

NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

petty, maybe, but it always gets me, a person with adhd and aphantasia that would never use ai, when people claim adhd and aphantasia is the reason they *need* these in their life no, you're just a mark

In a videogame roleplay server I'm in they just banned AI and this person flipped out, saying that because of her ADHD she needed it to manage her whole life and it turned out she had even been making her *tiny* game posts with it too! Then she called it her friend. Terrifying shit. She ragequit

A conspiracy theory that "The Real IRA" are coming out of retirement, joining forces with Loyalist paramilitaries to ethnically cleanse Northern Ireland of migrants is doing the rounds on social media. And like would yis ever cop yourselves on.

Artists of Bluesky, please try out the Repost Queue and let me know how you are using it and what could be improved! #art

The main usage for this was thought of with a few artist friends of mine which basically boils down to this: - As an artist, you're now able to keep a sequence of reposts (say, every 2 hours) for your latest publications or even some old ones in-between; you can set it to "loop" until you change it

Not a single Israel defender has ever been able to defend this. They just pretend it doesn't exist, even though it defies any of their supposed 'arguments'.

Israeli forces used small aircraft to cross the border and spray high concentrations of the herbicide glyphosate over farmland in southern Syria and Lebanon, a new report has revealed. According to German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, the spraying halted the growth of several crops

Irish News covers our FOI on this extraordinary meeting. This far-right group is comprised largely of National Front & neo-nazi linked individuals and target migrant properties on the North Coast. A recent human rights report highlighted the targeting an immigration law practice in Coleraine.. [1/n]

People talk a lot about the causes of declining birth rates, but it's really simple. People used to need enough kids to put on a touring Shakespeare production - maybe six, even eight. But with the rising popularity of Samuel Beckett? Two is sufficient.

They're just ordinary, peace loving people.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

This is a fucking rout for AIPAC and the Israel lobby. It’s a significant defeat for the Democratic Party’s centrist wing.

Every move by the FAI around the Nations League games against apartheid Israel is an acknowledgement that there is something wrong with fulfilling them. Israel has murdered 566 Palestinian footballers in its genocide, the FAI must not play these matches. #StopTheGame

The FAI will say how important Irish fans are then bar them from buying tickets to go and watch Ireland play...all to protect a country that shouldn't be involved in any sporting tournament. An absolute load of cock.

The FAI is an absolute joke of an organisation.

This should be a U2 album on iPhones moment, but car companies are the last I'd expect to read the room.

This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

We’ve just rented a projector so the kids can watch some films over August and we’re trying to source and buy treats and snacks. Ionad Hind Rajab is about more than education. It’s about getting back a little bit of childhood. 👇

I am saddened by the tone of commentary in this place about my former BBC colleague. The level of vitriol seems more suited to the other place. I worked with Rod at the Today programme. He took no prisoners, but he was witty and personally capable of genuine warmth. My sympathy to his family.

So in order to avoid being sued, the Christian Bros declined to put forward a 'nominee', leaving abuse victims to sue individuals rather than the org. The judge said, fine, we will just publish the names of all 341 members of the order and summons you all. And that's what happened.

The names of 341 former Christian Brothers have been published in the Irish Independent following an order from the High Court in relation to an abuse case. None of those named are accused of abuse, but their names have been published in the hope that they will come forward. jrnl.ie/7120723

Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
