Unfollowing accounts here as I see them appear in “the other place”.
Nothing personal, just slowly divesting …

The Greens as a feminist party recognise the importance of childcare & early years education. They also recognise that people within the sector need to be paid properly & be able to make a living as a childcare provider. #GreensDeliver

"I've doubled investment in childcare. If the Greens are back in government, we'll double it again."
@rodericogorman has made childcare far more affordable and has the track record to keep reforming the sector for the benefit of parents & providers.

Everyone following politics these days should look at this Hannah Arendt quote from time to time: 'This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.'

In 1000 years historians look back at us, read about our pollution, our pandemic, our wars, our brutality and look at the millions of files they can no longer read due to degradation or the 2093 "Vikings had horns on their helmets" virus and call our era the dark ages...

The Vanishing Culture report arrives today at a critical moment: While @internetarchive recovers from a cyberattack, it’s a reminder of how fragile our access to knowledge can be. Preserving culture & history requires resilience—and collective action.
🔗 blog.archive.org/2024/10/30/…
ALT The image shows the cover of the Internet Archive's Vanishing Culture report. On the left, the words "Vanishing Culture" are prominently displayed in bold, dark font against a neutral background. To the right, a set of cultural artifacts including a VHS tape, an open book, a film reel, a vinyl record, and a web link icon appear to disintegrate into pixels, symbolizing the disappearance of analog and digital media. Below these icons is a pixelated computer hand cursor pointing to the word "SAVE," emphasizing the need for preservation. The Internet Archive's logo is placed in the bottom-right corner.

Government of landlords delivers this
Scarcity & speculation drives prices up
Vested interest stops necessary policy changes & enforcement
Supported by culture of apathy & privilege in local authorities & civil service
We need to ban TDs from being landlords #DerelictIreland

From Dublin to Galway
Belfast to Cork
Tralee to Wexford
Why have we let so many homes in our towns decay beyond use
#DerelictIreland is a visual representation of the inequality in Ireland

Listened to @morningireland talking about @FineGael John McGahon this morning. It was in the "meanwhile" section. Then the presenters mused. 'Will it go away'
Like as if RTE doesn't have a major role in making sure it doesn't go away. McGahon isn't fit to be a legislator.

Sort out the cost of living. Ban investment firms buying houses and apartments.
Justice reform.
Do this and a Trump like candidate has no platform.

Dear @IrishRainforest
The current X platform is not the Twitter of old where I enjoyed following you. I seldom see your posts now. Have you, or would you ever, consider a move to BlueSky?
I would love to follow you there. And you can follow me at @willderham.bsky.social
