The world is on fire and the largest fresh water lake on these islands (and the largest lake in Ireland) is being used as a dumping ground for toxic shite so that a few people can make a lot of money. Lough Neagh is dying and no one is lifting a finger to stop this ecological disaster.
Due to involvement of paramilitaries in pogroms while the PSNI pretended otherwise, firefighters had to liaise with their leaders for permission to put out fires. “Firefighters had no doubt about paramilitary influence and sought permission from their leaders before tackling blazes, sources said.”
The night Belfast burned: how the Northern Ireland race riots unfolded
A stabbing in June sparked another summer’s night of racial violence, stoked by loyalist groups. How did the unrest erupt – and why do many fear it will happen again?

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.
#CriticalMass #Belfast hundreds of bikes, perfect. We can make this happen
Irish early summer is just Irish winter but with more daylight hours to stare at the rain
I'm not even sure whose confession this is, but my 20 y/o daughter has just had a date so boring that not only is he not getting a second chance, but her mate has chucked her boyfriend for setting it up in the first place.

The porkening Feral pigs in #Belfast ... We used to be Athens of the North
Took the teen to the Ulster Academy Annual Exhibition of Art at the Museum. Of course i had to bribe him to go, he got an all day breakfast, i got a very nice print. Had another look at the Okihiko Okamura Memories exhibit, its worth seeing if your in #Belfast
Some parts of #Belfast you just don't go to, for lots of reasons. First time for me yday going to Carnmoney hill. Fairy trees, farmhouse ruins and open sky, not a soul around. Perfect With the right kind of eyes you can almost see
Went to a meeting tonight with local politicians about spending a fund, walked in, they had little groups of chairs and a picture of a tree with 'the idea tree' written above it. Never left a meeting so fast #Belfast
@eops.bsky.social really enjoyed the last electronic workshop, usually I dip in and out of things, because let's face it, there's too much good music, but I was on a long long train journey and kept it on. Reminded me of what I liked about acid house back when, a real raw energy. Thanks
Nothing tastes worse than a bad cup of tea, because it carries with it the disappointment that it should've been a good one.
So Mandelson’s close and deep relationship with Epstein gets him sacked while Trump’s close and deep relationship with Epstein gets him the rare honour of a second State visit to Britain?
A hike I did this summer is route of the day on #FetchEveryone It was incredible, I didn't see another soul that morning, and silence Id go back in a heartbeat #Wales
