"State forestry company Coillte has quietly shut down Coillte Nature, the not-for-profit branch it set up on nature restoration projects."
Coillte are nothing but a blight on the Irish landscape. At least there's no more pretence now.

Look, I know it’s “funny” to use AI to make fun of the enemy, but AI is still fucking bad so maybe don’t?

I listened to this interview with the wonderful Francesca Albanese on @news.rte.ie with incredulity.
An army that is actively inflicting genocide, or groups seeking to defend that, cannot have their statements repeated as if they were legitimate.
**20,000** innocent Gazan children murdered, RTÉ.

Solidarity with Chilean Starbucks workers who are continuing their strike ✊
Around half of Starbucks locations in Chile are SHUT DOWN, with others under minimal staffing as workers strike. The company has refused to respond to complaints made by the union to Chile's labor dept.
Shame on Starbucks!

@davidpierce.xyz you should talk about this nifty OpenVibe app on the Vergecast. You can see your feeds from threads, mastodon and bluesky all in one place. And that is like the promise of the fediverse made real no?

@openvibe.social any idea when we will get threads integration working in the EU. I'm based in Ireland and can't get threads federation to work. I assume this is some meta bs?

This multi-year, multi-country analysis shows that right-wing populist politicians spread more online misinfo than their mainstream counterparts and explains how “the rise of political misinformation is associated to the recent wave of radical-right populism.”

We have a shit ton of trolls coming here
They're losing traction on the hellscape & r getting desperate
So its simple:
DO NOT ENGAGE
REPORT IF THEY THREATEN OR PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE
TELL US, THEN BLOCK
If you engage with them, they'll be everywhere
Does everyone understand the assignment?
