Ireland is facilitating ICE to undertake horrifically violent and in some cases likely illegal third-country deportations.

Overnight, this ICE flight operated by Journey Aviation made fuel/crew stops in Ireland and Albania and is now headed east. Likely headed for Central Asia removal stops, there made be third-country nationals onboard.

UEFA spokesperson Dietmar Fumm said to reporters "This decision effectively signals that Gianni Infantino is an enemy of world football". tl;dr: FIFA "foe" - Fumm

Looked up England in search on here to see what people were saying and two of the top results were a topless cartoon furry with huge boobs, and a photo of a man with his willy out, both cheering on England, so that's probably enough Bluesky the new global town square forever

Link to my recent #PublicHealth in Action talk, about why it is so hard to get people to think about 'obesity' systemically, and why we should focus on on equitable food access instead. @publichealthucc.bsky.social #commercialdeterminantsofhealth #foodpolicy #foodjustice www.ucc.ie/en/publichea...

Public health researchers (like myself) want to take an upstream view of obesity, focusing on environmental factors rather than individual behaviour. In this talk, I argue this is not possible with obesity. Whether we like it or not, obesity just IS an individual and moralised concept.

Would love to mobilise a load of women to comment "who??? How is this news??" under posts about footballers or whatever aul lads care about as revenge, but the reality is that women typically have better things to be doing

Nice summary of @thelancet.com series on #ultraprocessedfoods #upf. My take: the problem is not individual foods, but: (1) changes in dietary patterns driven by (2) undemocratic corporate influence which (3) narrows options especially for those on lower income. theconversation.com/the-ultra-pr...

The ultra-processed foods problem is driven by commercial interests, not individual weakness. Here’s how to fix it

Without policy action and a coordinated global response, ultra-processed foods will continue to rise in human diets, harming health, economies. It’s time to act.

There is nowhere safe to go in Gaza. Israeli forces have ordered thousands of Palestinians in Gaza City to evacuate as the military prepares another major assault. States should act to prevent genocide in Gaza and press Israel to reverse course.

Lol, you know you're Irish when ... you're all confused watching a TV show or film until you realise you're supposed to be assuming the British spies/soldiers/cops the good guys. Also the immersion, Mass, etc, hahaha lol.

Your man calling it a "conclave"? We're not beating the papistry allegations there on The Traitors Ireland.
