No doubt the EU will now impose sanctions against Israel for attacking peacekeepers from a member stateโ€ฆ. As if #genocide wasnโ€™t enough reasonโ€ฆ. Wonโ€™t hold my breath waiting for appropriate action - judging by the inhumane and morally bankrupt response to date.

Seriously impressed with both #AislingThompson and #EllenKeane on #Uncharted on @rte.ie this evening. Absolutely inspiring and loving it as much as @kneecapceol.bsky.social last week. Fair play to them all and to #RayGoggins

Deeply concerning as media ownership continues to shift to the control of fewer and wealthier individuals. Press freedom and pluralism face โ€˜existential battleโ€™ across EU, report finds:

Irish language cuts a 'failure' from NI and Irish governments Foras na Gaeilge says it has to make savings of more than โ‚ฌ800,000 (ยฃ669,000), meaning funding cuts to some groups operating in NI.

Go huafasach. This is truly shocking, that support should be cut while demand grows #Gaeilge

How the roots of the โ€˜PayPal mafiaโ€™ extend to apartheid South Africa Elon Musk grew up with the privileges of a stratified racial order and Peter Thiel lived in a city that venerated Hitler

โ€œThe South Africa into which Musk was born in 1971, and to which Thiel moved as a child from Germany, was led by a prime minister, John Vorster, who had been a general in a fascist militia three decades earlier that allied itself with Hitler.โ€

All the talk of #Trump "buying" (or invading) #KalaallitNunaat is obscuring the voice of the Greenlandic people themselves & their drift towards independence from #Denmark.
In 2022, I interviewed Aaja Chemnitz of #Greenland's ruling party IA.
It's well worth (re)reading.

New online safety code in the crosshairs as Elon Muskโ€™s X takes media regulator to the High Court Big tech fears more stringent rules being applied to their online platforms under a series of domestic and EU laws

No surprise that Musk is kicking back at efforts to better protect children: The new safety code means platforms such as X must comply or face fines of up to โ‚ฌ20 million, or 10 per cent of a platformโ€™s annual turnover, whichever is greater.
