@Geniustechw Yes

🚨 Protesters in San Francisco, California, tried to block ICE agents escorting others inside the courthouse where an illegal immigrant was being arrested. The ICE agents drove their car through the protesters. Was their action justified?

I don’t understand why the neighbor felt it to be his concern, maybe he has other motives in place. 🤨🤔. He should be happy that the neighborhood is getting cleaned up.

@JimmyHillside If only...

As a composer...here is one of the most important things to do when faced with a snag!😉☕️🎼

@LissaKEvans Admittedly, 'I was not impressed' was a polite understatement. It's closer to 'It totally pissed me off.'

@RAMoulds Bluesky is a mass of vindictive block-lists and nervous posters, strenuously avoiding saying anything even mildly controversial.

BEN SCALLAN: Paul Ehrlich spent his life convincing world leaders that “overpopulation” was destroying the planet. He could not have been more wrong, and the consequences for humanity have been nothing short of catastrophic: gript.ie/the-father-of-…

Wonderful artist/craftsman I just found. I followed his account after seeing this post. Maybe you should too. x.com/ferfedrawings6…

I'm not saying a word...other than these...

JOHN MCGUIRK: The economist's annual data shows a complete slump in happiness in Ireland and other English-speaking countries - but aren't we all supposed to be more happy than ever? gript.ie/data-confirms-…

@Amelia558rs Yep

One of the greatest misfortunes of liberalism was unhitching our wagons from the Western traditions of art. Portraiture traded for scribbles. Statues for vague political gestures. Symphonies for sqeaks and sound effects. It was all on purpose.

@AuthorGFAllen The Siege of Krishnapur, by J.G. Ballard

What are you reading this weekend?

@ThatEricAlper Make a celebratory cup of tea.

You wake up to see everyone on earth has disappeared. What’s the first thing you do?

@AuthorGFAllen People like that need to grow up.

@RAMoulds Some people get offended when others don’t like certain books or genres, it feels like they’re gatekeeping.

Normalize not liking a particular book.

My confidence and self worth haven’t been great lately and I just wanted to say thats ok so other people who suffer with depression or anxiety know that it’s ok to feel like that. I’m CEO of Happy Doggo and most people in positions like mine have to hide stuff like this. Most people in all positions In life do actually. It’s really hard to admit you don’t feel the best about yourself. That’s why I just write it down as I feel because maybe it’ll help someone. Between our team, partners and everything wrapped up in what I do there are probably 100+ people who rely on me. Add in social media, donors and everything else and that’s a massive happy facade to keep up. I’ve learnt though that it’s ok to say you are not ok. At the moment I’m going through the motions. Still working hard and trying my best but I feel a bit worthless. No self worth at all. I also have imposter syndrome. I know I can jus read the comments here or look at the dogs saved and I should be happy but it doesn’t bring me anything. I look in the mirror at the moment and can’t even really look at myself. No particular reason or spark for this. As people who suffer know it just comes in a dark wave like a fog. I could easily share some happy dog photos and smile and pretend I felt amazing. But I’d rather be honest and try to help others. I have untold amounts of support and good luck that many of you dont. So if you're feeling down or a little rough right now, that's okay because so am I, and it's absolutely fine to say that. Have a lovely weekend and be kind to each other ❤️

In 1992, Swallows built a nest inside this family's living room. Thirty-four years later, their great-great-grandchildren still use it in the summer when they emigrate from Europe to South Africa between late September and October. ❤️
