I appreciate the irony of the legos being sea themed
13th February 2026 marks the 29th anniversary of the Great Lego Spill, when nearly five million pieces of Lego fell into the ocean after a cargo ship laden with goods was hit by a storm.

This is such an important question. It is baffling to me that every newspaper – including ones here in Ireland – saw fit to publish ill-informed swill from a total gobshite.
Rich people's opinions on things outside of their area of expertise are of no more value than anyone else's.

We really should be asking ourselves why one rich twat’s racist opinion can become headline news in this country
While the perspectives of thousands of volunteers welcoming migrants in their communities & mixed migrant/British families are never heard?

One of my firm beliefs is that if Kamala Harris had won in 2024, that's how all Dem presidential candidates would be decided going forward.
every election cycle, democrats give up even more of the pretense of a primary election to the reality of it being a coronation. And they start earlier and earlier to telegraph this intent.
We are barely out of 2025

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

So the landlord govt just voted to raise our rents. Only a few days after announcing "cutting red tape" to allow corps even more control.
They also made massive payouts to semi-state CEOs.
And voted to allow foreign corps sue us if our rights infringed on their profits.

10 years ago they told us AI and self-driving cars were going to wipe out up to half of all jobs. They didn’t.
But while everyone was talking about whether they would, companies rolled out algorithmic management and used digital tech as a pretext to reclassify workers as contractors.

I'm not even saying that's the most *likely* possibility, but it's just very clear that the likelihood of that outcome as increased and even if there's, like, a 1 in 10 change that "AI replaces most to all white collar jobs in 10 years" that's an *enormous* risk to the social order!

Couldn't agree more, also the prioritisation of Greenway reveals the official view that cycling is a recreational activity to be monetised and not a routine mode of transport
This is a very important point. One of the mistakes I feel we’ve made around active travel delivery in Ireland is the prioritisation of long-distance commuter routes above local network provision. We did so mainly because their value for money and the “business case” is easier to demonstrate.
"School Streets" have become a thing to watch. Even the loudest high-traffic neighbourhood trumpets will mumble "Except outside schools, of course", but this ignores how (1) kids don't live next to their schools and need to get to the School Street safely and (2) kids go to places that aren't school
