New @bloomberglaw.com article by Olivia Carville - TikTok experimented on users, putting 10% (about 15M people) in a "filter bubble" exposing them to repetitive content that the algorithm thought they wanted, but was toxic. If you want to know why these cases are going to be massive...

Inspectors find 34 beds crammed into south Dublin bungalow rented for staff of Chinese restaurants

Company claimed the most the house accommodated is 26, but space available for 34

4 hours and still waiting for an ambulance for my 91 year old mother but we can afford to put money away for a rainy day. Simon Harris, it's pissing down ffs

At All Together Now lots of people had sticks to show where they were with lots of very fun designs like dandelions and nets. This one however just looks like a warning for the other bears.

There are two wolves inside of me. I have two drunk wolves inside of me fightin over contents of my stomach. They want to eat someone's face but are easily distracted. The wolves are wrestling over the last whiskey I consumed. I'm about to be beaten up by some lads the wolves picked a fight with.

You just know there will be a Premium no ad subscription model, followed by a lower tier skip ad feature subscription model. Such bullshit.

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.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a conflict of interest is -- it's far broader than this. But this financial interest is clearly a conflict of interest:

just a reminder the cathaoirleach of the AI committee has stock in a AI-based revenue intelligence company. Naoise insists the stock – whose value is only realisable if the company goes public – is not a conflict of interest for him as a TD forming AI legislation www.ontheditch.com/fianna-fail-...

Oh my god I think I found the video.

Ireland also appointed a former Meta exec to the role of Data Protection Commissioner for the whole of Europe. If you think you see a pattern here, no you don't.

Bono discourse? Yes... I'm in.

They can all go and fuck themselves. Especially that Bono prick.

I went into the FAI homepage to find something about fans, or about respect for Fans or whatever but I'm drinking and trying to finish a poem so I'm a wee bit distracted...if anyone fancies picking this up I'd be very appreciative.

Loki@lokideburca.bsky.social · 22h ago

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.

just a note that the shop is going to be closing on Friday for about a month or so whilst we hopefully welcome a new housemate, so this is your last week to pick up some lovely handmade art for a while www.etsy.com/ie/shop/pray...

I can't afford much. But I can give what I can afford every month. So that's what I do. Been doing that far longer than I'd hoped, but I'm not stopping til it's not needed. Thanks @tonygroves.bsky.social for facilitating this.

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. 👇

An Irish artist has helped establish a children's centre in Gaza that provides food, education and psychosocial support to children displaced by the war. Adam Doyle, better known as Spicebag, tells us why he helped create Ionad Hind Rajab. jrnl.ie/7117887

Counterpoint: what better way to honour his legacy than by chatting up good-looking young wans?

"Initial costs were predicted to be more than $60m (£44m). However, UFC was able to recoup some money through sponsorships, media exposure and other partnerships." Ya mean, 'bribes'?

Public Grocery Plan for Ireland: www.pbp.ie/ireland-shou...

Ireland Should Go Further than New York’s Public Grocery Plan

A majority of those surveyed in TheJournal.ie think there should be public grocery outlets. How do we fund it? Fund it through a Public Nutrition Levy on the profits of the fast food industry and larger food retailers.

It was co-founded by a man who “conducted classified intelligence work” for the Israel Defense Forces.

Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign@ipsc.bsky.social · 24h ago

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

I was on a tour of an old jail in Cork once. The tour guide said that a mathematician associated with the jail worked out an equation (or whatever they call it) to calculate the amount of rope needed to hang a man based on his weight and height. Does anyone know who he was or what this is?

I posted this on Instagram and asked who could name the flats that it's based on and let me tell you people are tearing their hair out

We need the Scottish to help us come up with a plan. Can you send us that massive flag thing with Epstein and Trump on?

There is no evidence that trans women are doing this thing I imagined, but that doesn't mean the scenario I imagined isn't true

Ahhhh, so that’s Roisín Michaux. She searched for months trying to dig up the dirt on trans women, supposedly, being sexual predators, but couldn’t find any. Cue ‘Principal Skinner’ meme.

The political echo chamber is a very serious problem. I can't make a joke about Galway people juggling and riding unicycles without heilmusk1488 slithering into my replies saying "every boy born in Galway is called Muhammed now" You'd really miss that kind of constructive engagement.

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
