#DIBLives Captain Charles Boycott believed Irish peasants were prone to idleness and required firm handling. Following an attempt to evict tenants #OTD 1880 he was subjected to the ostracism advocated by Parnell, and the word 'Boycott' entered the English language. www.dib.ie/biography/bo...

This take is conservative, Danish, and very much correct.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

Trump & Rubio are f-king with a private SANDWICH PLACE in Belfast, Northern Ireland. All because they make CUBAN sandwiches. You read that right. Some “free market capitalism” right there. @mollyjongfast.bsky.social was right - it IS getting more stupid.

This is some absolute nonsense impacting one of my favourite sandwich places in Belfast

This is horrific

NEW FROM ME: On a hellish third-country removal flight last month, passengers say ICE-contracted guards got drunk, teased and beat them, tied them up, refused to let them use the lavatory. One says he witnessed an ICE agent admit to illegal chain refoulement. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...

Hmmm the most incompetent military leadership in US history which spaffed away its missile interceptors, exhausted its navy, has no idea about strategy, and is presiding over an unfolding military debacle has "views" to share. Really? REALLY?

If the Clayton by election was held in Ireland Count Binface would be a cert for election. After all we sent Dustin the Turkey to represent us in the Eurovision Song Contest once.

FIFA broke its rules to favour the US team. The @nytimes.com reports this happened after Trump called Infantino and pressed him on the issue. We will be submitting an updated complaint to FIFA's ethics committee on this matter. You can add your name to that complaint here 👇 rebootfifa.com/sign/

Infantino isn’t fit to lead FIFA. 
And FIFA isn’t fit to govern football. Agree? Add your name now >>

It's time for Fingal to take legal action to stop Manna drones flying from Coolmine base, a councillor says. The council rejected a planning application for the base, but that hasn't stopped Manna, which says it's still flying and "considering the next steps available to us".

An Irish Army team has won gold in the Sullivan Cup, an international competition run by the US Calvary Corps. They won the Bradley competition which is quite impressive given most of the participants probably never saw a Bradley until last month

Solar and wind versus fossil. No brainer

Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social · 5mo ago

🇪🇸 Spain's electricity in 2000: 56% fossil, 2% solar & wind. By 2026: 44% solar & wind, just 17% fossil. The crossover came in 2023. Gas now sets the price only 15% of the time vs 89% in Italy. More in my forthcoming Substack newsletter 👇 janrosenow.substack.com

As usual at this time of year we have people on to us worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their #garden. ‘Are they dangerous?’ ‘Should I have them removed?’ ‘Will they be there forever?’ Here’s a quick #bumblebee #lifecycle thread to explain. Please #repost/#share for the #bees. Thanks! 1/14

Robert Ebert’s review of Downfall in 2004 was as absolutely masterful as the movie itself. #history #wwii #skystorians #extremism

A new Banksy, mocking nationalism and flag shaggers, has appeared in London. It's a man holding a flag that is covering his face while he walks blindly off the plinth. Well done ✊🏼

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
