Rearm Europe,
Hates Far-Right, Anti-vaxxer child-killers, Racists. Glad to be in Europe with sane gun laws, accessible medicine and decent social services, even with taxes. No messages, no requests for money
@darkhalo4321.bsky.social 🩷In Denmark, your face, voice and identity are your property, so no AI can legally steal them.
Why are our all countries not doing the same.

In the UK, Farage’s power comes from his apparent popularity in the polls. Maybe someone should be checking the poll companies for far-right/Russian money?

Jim O’Callaghan says we may need to change our asylum laws now the UK is changing theirs.
Bullshit.
The UK is being manipulated by the far-right, their tax-dodging non-domiciled right-wing media( I’m running out of hyphens), and Farage, the Russian-funded fascist. Not us, please.

A few weeks back we heard the Garda road enforcement crews were not doing their jobs.
This weekend we had a road disaster.
Any possible links?

Caligula was said to have made his horse a senator.
Probably in an attempt not to release the Epsteinus Scrolls.

you ask in today’s column why the Irish are anti-American.

Without mentioning Trump,a paedophile rapist tool of Moscow with every known vice, let’s begin:

Spreading terrible food, employment and ethical standards worldwide.

Overthrowing numerous democracies in my life.

I was speculating once that the culmination of current economic trends is that soon, one man (and it would be a man) will own all the wealth on the planet.
It would not be for long, as everyone would rise up and smite him.
If it was Elon, I could bear it.

What little compensation the victims of Catholic Church abuse got was taxpayer funded.
Seize Church “property” and use it to compensate them properly and to build affordable rental housing.

Reading an old Magill article on child abuse in a church run institution makes me think:

The Catholic Church is possibly the biggest “landowner” in Ireland. This land was bought with our grandparents’ pennies and is not theirs. It should be nationalised.

While listening to your discussion on racism I marvel at how awful that shit must be for anyone to put up with.

I am white and Irish. Once somebody overseas heard my accent and made a comment which may or may not have been intended as racist.

That was 1988. The real thing must be truly awful.

Someone on Facebook was worrying about the effect AI will have on the libidos of teenage boys.

Given the effect Diana Rigg and Felicity Kendal had on mine 60 years ago I am concerned myself.

Before they canonise the late Sister Stan, some investigative journalist should ask about her links to Magdalen Laundries, Industrial Schools and various clerical paedos.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social in discussing Andrew’s medal, someone said it would be like taking away his “O” levels.

I used to believe the US punished its criminals excessively with 100 year sentences and the notorious (third world style) death penalty.
But now you leave one criminal unpunished for his 34 felonies and he became the worst president in history.

Life sentences all round!
Absolute miracle nobody was killed.
So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

Years spent as an accountant made me wonder why one family earner in the 1950’s and 1960’s could buy a house, educate a family and provide for their retirement, when none of it can be done now. Nothing to do with the masses of billionaires around, maybe?
