@alynnfarrelly @Chronodendron @RichieHayes2 Yes of course that is infinitely more disturbing then a man having his eyes gouged out and his neck severed 🙄

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

This goes for all Irish institutions

The Irish media have two guiding principles:

Diversity = Good

Diversity of opinion = Bad

The names of all politicians who chose not to allow discussion on the migration pact in Ireland.
Remember their names.
The electorate certainly will!!

[Niall Boylan @Niall_Boylan]

So now Irish politicians are no longer content with hiding the immigration problem, they also want to hide the evidence from the public.
What is particularly worrying is that they say it openly, without a hint of embarrassment, and not a single voice on the programme challenged how disturbingly similar it sounds to something you would hear on North Korean state television.
If they fixed the problem and controlled immigration the videos might not exist.
It’s like a man going to the mechanic and saying, there is noise coming from the engine and the mechanic suggesting the solution of saying “if only you were deaf the car would be fine”

[Eilis O'Hanlon @OHanlonEilis]

RTE's new TV series BackStory takes the children of immigrants in Ireland back to their "ancestral homelands" to connect with their roots. But if heritage is so important to identity, why are Irish people who feel as strongly about theirs called racist?

Time and time again the shitterati of Irish media leave me speechless. It’s seems that to them it’s more outrageous that we saw the video of the Belfast attack than the fact that it happened in the first place.

[Laura Boyle 🇮🇪 @LABoyle2]

It beggars belief that they’re not discussing how we arrived at a situation where there are attempted beheadings on our streets. You would hope that at the very least there’s a tiny voice at the back of their tiny minds whispering ‘this is not the story, this is not the story….’

[243Cal 🇮🇪 @243_cal]

24 hours after footage of an African man trying to saw the head off his Scottish victim in a Belfast street circulated online, Irish politicians and journalists openly discuss on live TV how such videos can be suppressed, in future.
We're going down a dark road. #TonightVMT

Sure, didn’t the Irish go everywhere, beheading people?

How Ireland works 🙄

[Olena Tregub @OTregub]

Ireland defense for supplying roughly 90% of EU alumina exports to Russia is that the EU never sanctioned alumina.
But when it came to Israel, Ireland didn't wait for the EU.
Dublin pushed ahead with its own Occupied Territories legislation, openly challenging the EU's common trade policy and arguing that moral considerations required action.
Apparently, "we can't act without Brussels" applies to Russia, but not to Israel.
Interesting standard.

China has a population of roughly 1.4 billion people.

Ireland has a population of just over 5 million.

Yet Ireland has one of the highest concentrations of data centres on Earth.

Now let that sink in..

China is over 250 times larger than Ireland by population. It is the world's manufacturing powerhouse, a technological giant, and one of the most industrialised nations on the planet.

Yet on a per capita basis, Ireland has around 90 to 95 times more data centres than China.

Why?

Why does a small island nation on the edge of Europe need such a vast concentration of digital infrastructure?

Who is it really serving?

These facilities consume enormous amounts of electricity, place increasing pressure on the national grid, require significant water resources for cooling, and occupy valuable land that could be used for housing, agriculture, or productive local industry.

Meanwhile Irish families are struggling with housing shortages, rising energy costs, overstretched infrastructure, and declining public services.

We are constantly told this is "progress."

But progress for whom?

The reality is that Ireland is increasingly being positioned as a digital warehouse for multinational corporations and global data traffic.

A country of five million people should not be carrying a digital burden that is wildly disproportionate to its size.

When a nation has more data centres per person than a country with 1.4 billion people, it is time to start asking serious questions about who benefits, who pays the cost, and what kind of future is being built in our name.

Ireland was once known as the land of saints and scholars.

Now it risks becoming the server room of the world.

[Irish Mammy Warrior @Eire4Christ]

My son started his Leaving Cert today. Like every parent, I wish him and every student the very best.

But no matter how well he does, he's already planning to leave Ireland.

His brothers have gone before him.
Think about that for a moment.

Three Irish sons, forced to build their futures on the other side of the world while politicians congratulate themselves and tell us everything is fine.

It is not fine.

What is the point of encouraging our children to study hard, work hard, and achieve their dreams if they have to leave their own country to have any chance of a decent future?

Ireland is losing its young people. We are losing our sons and daughters.

I oppose the EU Migration Pact and I believe the Irish people should be given a referendum. Let the people decide the future of their country.

Good luck to every Leaving Cert student today. You deserve more than a certificate. You deserve the chance to build a life in the country of your birth.

Anonyme : Je suis pompier et ce que j’ai vu hier dans les rues de Paris m’a brisé le cœur.
On est intervenus vers 22h, après l’appel pour un feu de poubelles qui dégénérait. On pensait à un simple incident de soirée. On est arrivés sur place et c’était l’enfer. Paris, ma ville, celle où j’ai grandi, où j’ai fait mes premières gardes, était devenue une zone de guerre. Des fumées noires partout, des cris, des explosions de mortiers. Des groupes de jeunes, souvent issus de l’immigration, cagoulés, organisés, qui chargeaient les forces de l’ordre comme sur un champ de bataille.
J’ai vu des collègues policiers se faire lyncher à coups de barre de fer. J’ai vu une voiture de police caillassée alors qu’on sortait juste pour éteindre un feu qui menaçait des familles. On a été pris à partie par des émeutiers qui nous hurlaient dessus, nous traitant de “chiens”. On essayait juste de sauver des vies, et on devenait des cibles.
J’ai ramassé un gamin de 14 ans, le visage en sang, qui pleurait en disant qu’il avait suivi “les grands” pour “s’amuser”. J’ai vu une mère de famille, volets fermés, qui nous suppliait de protéger ses enfants pendant que ça cassait tout en bas. Les vitrines défoncées, les commerces pillés, les voitures brûlées… tout ça sous prétexte de “fêter” quelque chose.
Fêter, ce n’est pas casser.
C’est ça, la France en 2026 ? Un pays où on ne peut plus sortir le soir sans risquer sa vie ? Un pays où des quartiers entiers sont livrés à des clans qui ne respectent ni nos lois, ni notre histoire, ni nos pompiers, ni nos policiers ? Où on regarde impuissant notre capitale, symbole de lumière et de culture, transformée en terrain de jeu pour des barbares qui crachent sur la main qui les nourrit ?
Cette nuit, en rentrant chez moi à 6h du matin, encore couvert de suie et de sueur, j’ai pleuré comme un gosse. Pas de fatigue. De rage et de tristesse. Pour mes enfants. Pour mes collègues blessés. Pour ce pays que j’aime et qui se laisse mourir.
Réveillez-vous. S’il vous plaît. Avant qu’il ne reste plus rien à sauver.

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on.

The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software.

The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check.

Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance.

Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls.

Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else.

A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.

It is not just Fluoride that should not be in our water. This is what remains when 4L of Donegal tap water is distilled. The odour is also vile. What effect is it having on people's health? Businesses are also paying water rates for this. Wake up, folk! Time to demand answers! 🇮🇪
