Shortly after the horrifically racist Belfast riots, a man who helped stoke them up became the world's first trillionaire. I'm going to type that out again, perhaps a few times, we ALL need to let that sink in, sink in so deep that we just can't ignore it anymore. Shortly after the horrifically racist Belfast … Continue reading The Fascists Don’t Need To Pretend Any More, They’ve Gone Completely Mask Off
The Eurovision Boycott Isn’t Enough, But It’s Still Worth Something
Even though yesterday was the Eurovision final, Ireland did not take part in the Eurovision, along with Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Iceland. This makes Ireland only one of five countries that took the step of refusing to participate in the Eurovision, and only one of three that refused to broadcast it, along with Span … Continue reading The Eurovision Boycott Isn’t Enough, But It’s Still Worth Something
Bird Fight!
Over the last few weeks I have been making a few trips to The Lough, one of my favourite birding areas in Cork City. I usually go there a lot during this time of year, given that the baby birds are being born. And I saw quite a lot of little birds, experiencing life for … Continue reading Bird Fight!
Billionaires Shouldn’t Exist
Look at this clip of Malcolm Offord, who is the leader Of Reform UK Scotland. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ROlWtkVz44c And now just a brief tangent, but an amusing one. When I read his biography on Wikipedia, where it says, "He was a member of the Conservative Party until December 2025 when he defected to Reform UK.", I initially … Continue reading Billionaires Shouldn’t Exist
Are We Supposed To Just Forget That Donald Trump Threatened Genocide Against Iran?
What age do we currently live in? There was the Stone Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age. But I'd like to propose a term for the times we currently live in. The Amnesia Age. Our whole society seems to run on an amazing ability to just, forget. Forget about Gaza. Forget about the Epstein … Continue reading Are We Supposed To Just Forget That Donald Trump Threatened Genocide Against Iran?
My Feelings On The Return To The Moon Are More Complicated Than I Thought They’d Be
A few years ago I learned that humans were going to return to the moon, they wouldn't land, that would come later if all things went well, but this mission, Artemis II, would take four people around the moon, the first people who would be anywhere near the moon in over fifty years. The last … Continue reading My Feelings On The Return To The Moon Are More Complicated Than I Thought They’d Be
Is It Time To Just Accept That Humanity Is Awful?
If anyone knows even a small bit about writing conventions, you'll probably notice, quite readily, that this title is an obvious example of Betteridge's Law Of Headlines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines "Any headline (or in this case, blogpost title) that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." Hell, my last blogpost followed Betteridge's … Continue reading Is It Time To Just Accept That Humanity Is Awful?
Should We All Just Be Conspiracy Theorists Now?
Of late, there has been a feeling that the conspiracy theorists have been vindicated. For years they tried to tell us about how the moon landing was faked, how 9/11 was an inside job, how Covid-19 is either a fake illness, or at least a less harmful one than the authorities are saying it is, … Continue reading Should We All Just Be Conspiracy Theorists Now?
Once More, From The Top, Fuck The BBC
You know, sometimes I wonder is it finally time to change the name of this blog to "What Did The BBC Do This Time?" It seems to be what I talk about a lot these days. And ten years ago, I would have been surprised about the fact a lot of my life is now … Continue reading Once More, From The Top, Fuck The BBC
Phase Three: Amnesia
In this blogpost, I talked about the reaction of world leaders, powerful people and famous people, to the genocide in Gaza, in terms of "phases": https://autismneurodiversity.com/2025/08/04/we-should-still-all-be-screaming/ Phase One: For the first approximately year and a half of the genocide, just keep deploying what I call the "Big Three" excuses, over, and over, and over, and … Continue reading Phase Three: Amnesia
