the economist magazine checking the effect on gdp growth of musk's incitement to murder their editor before deciding if it's good or bad
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2w agoElon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
irish times politics podcast about a month ago talking about the major european heatwave (which subsequently killed thousands), where the lads were saying: - you can't attribute these events to climate change (wrong) - sure it'll be more nice summers, isn't that great (dead wrong)
Saoirse McHugh@saoirsemc.bsky.social · 2w agoThis summer has made it abundantly clear that we need rewetting across all landscapes, varied habitats, firebreaks and a recalibration of what we use water for, and in ireland, a massive growth and restoration of our degraded ecosystems like bog and wet woodlands that are naturally fire resistant

kinda can't believe graham linehan is still going, what an absolute ooze
Aidan Comerford@aidancomerford.bsky.social · 2w agoHi @michaelnugent.bsky.social, defending people like your friend Graham Linehan this week you wrote, "We should engage with the content of ideas we disagree with, not accuse the people who express them of malign motivations." How do I engage with him using "airborne AIDS"? Is this not malign? 1/

"Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Greece and Ireland spent €9.9 billion on energy crisis relief, 85% of the total across all EU countries, and most of this on supports that benefitted the fossil fuel industry instead of targeting at-risk people." what a waste of public money
Greenpeace EU@greenpeace.eu · 3w agoOrdinary people are hugely exposed to skyrocketing energy bills because their governments and the EU have developed serious dependencies on oil and gas The government response to the Hormuz energy crisis has been mostly to dig these dependencies deeper, so the next shock will hurt more

Traditional masculinity or "manliness" in the context of cars, much like in the context of everything else, is not about physical fitness or ability but about dominance. It is about consumption. Taking up space. Putting one's needs over those of other people. Etc.
Warren Wells, AICP@warrenjwells.bsky.social · 3w agoThe greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing half the population that the "manly" way to get around is on a giant rolling couch controlled by gently depressing your toe.
"It is difficult to explain this high excess mortality by anything but the extreme heat" fossil fuel companies are killing us for profit
Europe recorded 10,000 excess deaths during late-June heatwave, data show
The vast majority — more than 9,000 — were among people aged 65 and above.

for the england match it's time for irish people to grow up a little and get over the performative hatred of an old enemy it's ancient history at this stage, we're kinda related to a bunch of them too so the posturing that so we're different is a bit crass let's put the viking raids behind us 💙🇳🇴❤️
i adjust it to however i want, sometimes i let that image stay quite visible i'm in charge here, they can't tell me what to do
