my dad went to Payless and tried on a bunch of shoes and finally found a pair he liked and went to the counter to buy them and the store clerk asked him if he was wearing the shoes and he said no, they are in the box and the clerk said we don’t sell these shoes here and it turned out someone switched the new shoes with their gross old shoes and those gross used shoes were the ones my dad bonded with and wanted to buy.
This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury.
He was given less than two years behind bars.
It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.
Salt glaciers in the Zagros Mountains of Iran are some of the strangest and most beautiful geological features on Earth.
They look like slow‑moving rivers of ice, but they’re actually made of rock salt.
The way they form is completely different too. Deep underground, there are huge layers of halite-rich salt and because salt is lighter and more flexible than the surrounding rock, it slowly pushes upward through cracks. When it finally breaks through the surface, it spills out and creeps downslope, spreading into wide, glacier‑like lobes. These flows can stretch for kilometers, even though they move at a pace so slow you’d never notice it happening.
The Zagros region is perfect for this kind of phenomenon because it sits on top of thick deposits of Hormuz salt, laid down more than half a billion years ago in the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian era.
Over millions of years, the collision between the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates squeezed and folded the land, forcing this ancient salt upward. That’s how the area ended up with so many salt domes (mushroom‑shaped bulges of rising salt) and the salt glaciers that ooze out from them.
Southern Iran alone has more than 130 of these domes, many still actively flowing.
What makes these salt glaciers especially striking is their appearance. The salt mixes with clay, iron oxides, and other sediments, creating surreal patterns in shades of pink, red, orange, and white. Some glaciers even form hourglass or bow‑tie shapes, where a central dome feeds salt into valleys on both sides. And the scale is massive, some of these formations stretch up to 14 kilometers across and are easily visible from space.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
I don't think its an unreasonable ask that the Irish government at least unilaterally rule out allowing the U.S. to use Shannon for further attacks on Iran
Protest at Dublin Airport.
Protest the bus company driving them.
Protest the hotel accommodating them.
Protest at the training grounds.
Protest at the FAI headquarters.
Block them at every turn.
Another day, another unspeakable act of cruelty.
There will be no consequences. Instead, our government will keep providing military and economic support, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes.
What utter inhumanity. We will not rest until Palestine is free.
I feel uncomfortable with how people are speaking about Rafah it makes me uneasy. Rafah isnt “gone” people are still there. The land is still there. The people. Don’t allow this! Don’t normalise this! We have to fight for Rafah, for Gaza! While we still can!
The boycott should begin in the airport with workers declining to handle the plane. Coach drivers should refuse to drive the Zionists. Roads need to blocked by large crowds. Hospitality workers/hotels to refuse to serve the team or fans. Whatever is necessary to scupper the game.

And then they say that #Islam is the cause of violence and terrorism in the world and want us to believe that.
Who started World War I?
Not Muslims.
Who started World War II?
Not Muslims.
Who killed about 20 million of Australia’s indigenous people?
Not Muslims.
Who dropped the nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan?
Not Muslims.
Who killed more than 100 million Native Americans in South America?
Not Muslims.
Who killed about 50 million Native Americans in North America?
Not Muslims.
Who kidnapped more than 180 million Africans as slaves from Africa, of whom about 88% died and were thrown into the oceans?
Not Muslims.
First, we must define terrorism or understand how terrorism is viewed by non-Muslims.
If a non-Muslim commits a terrorist act, it is called a crime; but if a Muslim commits it, it is called terrorism.
We must stop dealing with double standards.
Only then will you understand the purpose of my words.
I am proud of my Islam.
I am proud to be Muslim.
Do not let it stop with you—
inform others about the distortion of reality and truth.
Praise be to Allah for the blessing of Islam and all its blessings.
Tonight was one of the toughest Friday Soup Runs we’ve faced. The weather was bitterly cold, and we hit several logistical hurdles before we even started. But our incredible volunteers refused to let the challenges stop them.
Despite the freezing temperatures, we served two very long queues of people in need.
The demand for warmth was higher than ever, and our team worked tirelessly to provide:
• 300+ Hot Meals (the heat was much needed tonight!)
• Fresh Fruits & Vegetables
• Steamng hot Tea & Coffee ☕
Seeing the relief on people's faces as they held a warm cup of tea reminded us why we do this.
To our donors: your contributions literally kept people warm tonight. Thank you for your unwavering support.
Help us continue this vital work:

Child sexual abuse images are being created and distributed by Grok.
Dublin is the headquarters for X in Europe/Middle East/Africa.
Irish state agencies should intervene.
The IDF has thermal scopes. They knew 6yo Hind Rajab was alive in the car, surrounded by 6 dead family members. They fired 335 bullets into the car, killing her. Now imagine the media coverage if Hamas had fired 335 bullets into a car, killing a 6yo Israeli girl #IsraeliTerrorism
Having murdered EVERY journalist in Gaza, and many of their families.
Having banned ANY international journalist from entering.
Having destroyed almost every structure in Gaza and even laughing as they blew up water treatment facilities and cancer wards.
Israel is now BANNING all aid agencies from operating there from tomorrow.
The last thread of charitable aid removed.
An evil beyond humanity.

Picked up this old Tayto crisp packet on Bray Head today.
Not sure what year it’s from, but Crisps were 20p back then, hard to even process now.
What really got me though is how new the packet still looks.
A strange little reminder of how long plastic sticks around after we’re done with it.
Nostalgic… but also a bit unsettling.
20p for Tayto though, we really didn’t know how good we had it🙂🥔
