- 'The UK and its European neighbours have a long history of standing up to bullies' ... What sort of gormless, bonkers shite is this. Was this before, during or after endless, and ongoing, colonial criminality?
- That feels like one of the best league performances since COVID. City have been shocking but spirited, organised, and bold in attack from #MUFC.
- Best performance of season, Dorgu, Amad, Licha and Mbeumo all exceptional #MUFC

- Reposted by Seán FearonBombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC... US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.
- Reposted by Seán FearonThe people on hunger strike in England in protest at the British state's complicity in apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians and at their own grossly unfair treatment in prison are in danger. None of them has been convicted of a crime, they should be released. #FreeThemAll
- Lived in England for just over a year. Was impossible to stomach the river of hate-filled, caps-locked cancer adorning shops and newsagents thanks to the gutter British press.
- A sideshow, basket case, and, increasingly, a feckless vanity project.

- Hundreds of thousands of Irish people in the north of Ireland, EU citizens, are exposed by this fascist posturing. 1/4 of our island is chained to the consequences of this rapid degeneration in British politics.
- I love this guy man, and how I yearn for such a full-throated, angry, and yet unapologetically compassionate response to the cancer of hatred that's spreading in Ireland too.
- A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

- I never understood this line of attack - if Labour are already delivering absolutely nothing to meaningfully change society or motivate political passions, why would people care about being let down elsewhere?

- Is there a single mainstream party in Ireland a) with an ounce of moral fortitude to oppose blaming immigrants for failures of government policy, and b) paying attention to evidence across Europe that this strategy is a road to ruin?

- Check out the preprint of our new paper, exploring the time use requirements for a life of wellbeing within planetary boundaries. The bottom line? Lifestyle changes can lower emissions & improve wellbeing, but are insufficient to live well within ecological limits. We need radical system change.

Big thanks to @kaiheron.bsky.social, @triofrancos.bsky.social, Anne Pasek (and others) for their generous words and engagement.

- An excellent writeup. These are repulsive double standards from the British state, guilty of all manner of state terror, to young Irish artists. They represent a proud & radical political culture which does not conform to the sterile & 'Paddy'fied shadow of Irishness acceptable to liberal Britain.

- A bizarre thing to glimpse into the scale of disruption in a large city caused by total power outage, when everything - travel, infrastructure, past times, homes - depends upon it. You can only begin to think of the consequences for some of the largest cities on earth in a climate-changed world.

- Reposted by Seán Fearonscrapping it would add GBP 2.5bn yearly to government spending. That is 25bn over ten years. Only last year, the Treasury paid the Bank of England around 40bn for its 'losses' on the QE gilt portfolio. It didnt have to. No other central bank expects to be compensated.

- Some delightful dusk light on the UAB column-y things.
- On bus back home from Dublin to Armagh for first time in ages. Some young fella at the back of the bus spouting all the weird, pathetic, far right and immigrant-hating slurs in voice notes to his mate. The sordid rot has taken hold, especially in young Irish men.
