BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion. Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench. Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

Biden badly misused immigration parole, using it unlawfully to bring millions of migrants into the U.S. A federal judge has now told Trump he can’t reverse Biden’s unlawful use of this narrow authority. It’s all so upside down.

“When you haven’t heard someone talk for four years, the thought that they might be able to talk again was mind blowing."

Everyone thought the future was carbon fiber Elon Musk looked at the physics and chose stainless steel for Starship instead Sounds insane.... until you realize stainless gets stronger at cryogenic temperatures, handles reentry heat better, and costs massively less than advanced composites. It doesn't even need paint He chose a material that is faster to build, easier to weld, tougher in extreme conditions, and built for rapid iteration Classic Elon: ignore convention, trust first-principles engineering, and pick the solution everyone else missed He is taking science fiction and making it real. Building things that only existed in imagination, and pushing them to the absolute limits of physics

日本のX、贔屓目なしでも「世界一おもろいSNS」なのがバレつつある。このノリがミームとして海外に伝播したら、海外勢もさらにおもろくなるのはほぼ確定。おもろい場所には人が集まる。XがInstagramやTikTokをぶち抜いて、最終的に人類の覇権SNSになる未来、フツーにあり得るな

The average quality of the Japanese posts now on my timeline is about 2 standard deviations higher than the non-Japanese posts. Possibly the biggest product improvement I’ve yet experienced on this app. Great stuff.
