NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

The list of files on Mark's computer...and there's Cork city. What in God's name of horrendous things are they doing to Gemma in there? Trying to get a pizzas slice in Fast Al's at 1am? #Severance

Anyone use the 'Fever' ticket sales app? I bought 2 tickets for Kylie in Lisbon, looking to sell them. Tickets only become available 3-5 days before the event. Customer service said that the tickets will not be transferable. But Fever have a "how to guide" on transferring tickets...? #Fever #Kylie

What exactly did Irving do in the army...? He's very observant, smart,
knew immediately something was different about Helly. And he's very comfortable shoving her head in the water, repeatedly... #severance

#severance episode 4 - unbelievable. So Helly will have to return to the Severed Floor, as Helena has so publicly committed to being part of the Severed community? Or will they just send Helly somewhere else to pretend she's "going to work"? Interesting predicament for outie Helena

The Glasgow Block - has appeared before. Interesting list. Is 'CLEAN SLATE' the reset that Cobel was so afraid of...is that what happens on the "testing floor"? #severance

The Irish saint and goddess entwined, Brigid is associated with blacksmiths, spring, and cattle, among others, and stories like blinding herself to repel men's unwanted attention. The three-armed cross here represents both the triple goddess and the trinity. Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh 🌸

No one doing it like @garbageday.email right now. The venom. The concision.

Welcome to 2025. No one reads your website or watches your TV show. Subscription revenue will never truly replace ad revenue and ad revenue is never coming back. All of your influence is now determined by algorithms owned by tech oligarchs that stole your ad revenue and they not only hate you, personally, but have aligned themselves with a president that also hates you, personally. The information vacuum you created by selling yourself out for likes and shares and Facebook-funded pivot-to-video initiatives in the 2010s has been filled in by random “news influencers,” some of which are literally using ChatGPT to write their posts. While many others are just making shit up to go viral. And the people taking over the country currently have spent the last decade, in public, I might add, crafting a playbook — one you dismissed — that, if successful, means the end of everything that resembles America. And that includes our free and open and lazy mainstream media. And they’re pretty confident it’ll succeed because, unlike you, they know how broken the internet is now and are happy to take advantage of it. While I’m sure it feels very professional to continue playing stenographer in your little folding chair at the White House, they’re literally replacing you with podcasters as we speak. So this is it. Adapt or die. Or at the very least, die with some dignity

Just back from #sneachta supermarket shop in #Fermoy. Empty shelves: bread, eggs, vegetable soup, ham & other packaged cold meats, sausages, rashers, not one raw chicken meat product left. However.. fully stocked: Cully & Sully chowder & mint pea soup. If they don't sell out now, it'll never happen!
