FAI words have no meaning: Ireland says it stands with Palestine. So why did we play Israel's football team? www.thejournal.ie/readme/irela...
Ireland says it stands with Palestine. So why did we play Israel?
The FAI’s handling of the Nations League fixtures shows that when it comes to standing up for those who have no voice, words are not enough. It’s actions that count.

"But Alternative Parade Route Wouldn't Allow Us To Pointlessly Create Tensions" Orange Order Confirm https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2026/09/28/but-alternative-parade-route-wouldnt-allow-us-to-pointlessly-create-tensions-orange-order-confirm/
Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.
Living on an Orange March route is what made me understand why the military have marching bands. They are designed to invoke a lingering sense of terror in stages by instrument, and then by lyrics. Noone should be forced to hear hundreds of people singing joyfully about spilling their blood.
Fucking disgraceful. Both that it's going ahead at all, and that people protesting this shit in their community could be arrested for it. None of this needs to be happening.
Paul Murphy TD@paulmurphy.pbp.ie · 2w agoPolice arrived at top of Garvaghy Road with threatening audio saying protestors will be arrested.
How is the very simple principle of the people of a community not wanting something not being respected? Fucking outrageous they have to tolerate this bullshit again. What drugs are they on at the parades commission?
RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · 2w agoAround a thousand people are gathered at the lower end of the Garvaghy Road in anticipation of the Orange Order march which is set to come down the road after 8am | Follow live updates
Fair play to Gavin Bazunu. Incredibly disappointed in the rest. Like they should never have been put in this position, but they had the chance to genuinely represent the country here. #StopTheGame
Gavan Reilly@gavreilly.com · 2w ago🚨 Israel v Republic of Ireland game goes ahead, FAI’s David Courell confirms, at delayed press conference in Debrecen Fresh meeting this morning followed one player (goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu) saying they wanted to withdraw from the squad Squad voted after that meeting to establish the view
Using generative AI means that you can't answer the most basic element of research, which is "where did you get this information?"
Dr SpookyGoth@ghostingdani.bsky.social · 2w agoI have compared AI to the legal concept of fruit of the poisonous tree for my students. Because the chain of custody of evidence is tainted by the black box, we cannot trust anything it produces because citation IS the evidence, and using AI breaks that chain.

Don't really think Ireland as a whole deserves a pat on the back for the work of some artists, activists, and the people who pressure and protest, when our government watered down the OTB, the GAA refuses to drop Israeli weapon insurer Allianz, and the FAI is happy to play Israel without Irish fans
The only way they would shut down AI is if it became self-aware but started to say things like 'net zero now' and 'stop destroying orangutan habitat'. Do you know how quickly they pull the plug if AI came out as woke 😂
I think it’s cool how “this toaster might electrocute you” or “these brakes don’t always work” is acceptable in consumer products because it’s software.

Giving Claude access to your inbox can be helpful, but don't give it too much power. Allowing the AI to send emails without your approval could create problems.

If there "are less electricity connections available for new housing" because of data centres, then the Government need to seriously explain why they want to build even more centres across Ireland. #SpeirGorm @thejournal.ie
Burials no longer take place at the graveyard, but living people have friends and relatives buried there and are being prevented by Dyson from going to spend a while at their graves. Never not at it.
The Journal@thejournal.ie · last mo.James Dyson, the billionaire inventor of the British vacuum brand, is in a stand-off with locals in Co Waterford over access to a graveyard and historic rights-of-way on the grounds of his estate. Dyson bought the 850-acre Ballynatray estate two years ago. www.thejournal.ie/james-dyson-...
As well as the damage to artists, the tidal wave of AI is totally drowning out educational and good travel accounts. We are being buried alive by it. For me to do one post for @tuatha.ie I have to visit the site, edit the images, research info and write a post balanced to a general audience...
Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨@ciaraioch.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe amount of working artists I've spoken to who are losing or have lost the ability to make a viable career out of it due largely to people's use of genAI instead of hiring artists is genuinely so upsetting. We won't know what we've lost until it's gone.

New from 404 Media: we solved which AI company is buying massive shipments of rare books, scanning and destroying them to train AI. We put an Apple AirTag in a rare book, followed it. It ended up at an Amazon facility. Its logo is a dinosaur ripping through a book www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...
