@brownecfm@NoHealthNoFun This is something I’ve wondered about. The battle has clearly been won, so why are the bot farms still active and responding to covid and related keywords?
Cursed is this unjust world.
This is our burning, all of us,
my skin peeling in every street,
flames seeping from my pores,
my bones crumbling like its stones.
The blood of my heart runs through the alleys,
the scars on my hands are maps of the city,
the wounds on my shoulders its walls.
Every stone groans with its pain.
This is my ash multiplying,
we carry it in our lungs
and cough the dust of the demolished homes.
A night the color of blood
stretches above us,
and we burn together
as if we were the last remnants of light.
We are the city — and this is our burning, all of us!
O night, how long you are!
Israel has just bombed Doha. Yesterday they bombed Tunis in attack on the flotilla. Last week they murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen. These are brazen acts of war. What other country gets away with all of this?
I can't stop thinking about the Palestinian bones that are now the foundations of the cities that once were. The dry bones, strewn over the valley of the shadow of death that Israel made. It is one of the most powerful images in the Jewish bible, the dry bones reanimated. I read the new Jewish theologies explaining that life stems from ensuring all your enemies are dead. I listen to my countrymen and their supporters deny responsibility for these bones. I think of the tenacity of Palestinians, sifting through the rubble, returning to find and resurrect the bones. I know in my bones for whom the prophecy was spoken. It was not for us.
@JoeBrolly1993 Dan is a case study in why failed commentators should be hounded out of public life. You would think the shame of his appalling analysis of the banking crisis would have been enough to prompt retirement, yet here he is, nearly 20 years later, still dribbling shit into our ears.

It is with profound sadness that RTÉ announces the death of radio presenter and actor Seán Rocks. Seán died last night following a brief illness at the age of 63.
Well-known to listeners all over Ireland and the world, Seán presented RTÉ Radio 1’s nightly arts and culture magazine, Arena, since its inception in 2009, and recently presented a Sunday afternoon programme back on RTÉ lyric fm, where his radio career began in 2000.
Originally starting as a presenter with RTÉ lyric fm in 2000, where he fronted a number of shows, Seán moved to RTÉ Radio 1 in 2009 to helm the station’s new weekly arts and culture programme, Arena. Hugely well regarded for his public interviews - with authors such as Salman Rushdie, Edna O’Brien, and Roddy Doyle, and actors such as Rupert Everett, Martin Sheen and Brendan Gleeson, he was equally beloved of listeners for his wide-ranging studio interviews, with composers and playwrights, authors and filmmakers and songwriters.
Hugely versatile, Seán also guest-presented, produced, and wrote several series for the national broadcaster. He won a Silver Medal at the New York Festival of Radio for the documentary Soul of Ireland for BBC Radio 4.
Seán worked extensively as an actor both at home and abroad, appearing at the Abbey, Peacock, and Gate Theatres and with many important independent companies including Rough Magic, Druid and Field Day, and at the Royal Court, National, Donmar Warehouse and Tricycle theatres in London. His television and film roles included The Bill, Glenroe, Fair City, Dear Sarah and Go Now.
Seán was MC at the State Banquet for the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Ireland and at several important state events at Áras an Uachtaráin.
Seán is survived by his beloved Catherine and sons Christian and Morgan.
May he rest in peace.
Your charity, your words of shock after the genocide, won’t make a difference. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look in the mirror, and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?
@PatMillsComics The Oct 7th footage is awful but its been strictly controlled by Israel, there is a only 45 min films & some clips available afaik. The footage from Gaza is an endless stream of atrocities. There is so much footage out there by now you could watch it for months, uninterrupted.
@iseeuliars I do think there is a qualitative difference between the experience of reading and listening, but that said, there is an amazing audiobook of BM narrated by Richard Poe.
