From Bloody Sunday to RHI, Gerry Adams, Bobby Sands, and Michael Stone, Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is spreading dangerous lies about Northern Ireland
The world’s most unreliable encyclopaedia: Elon Musk’s AI Wikipedia alternative is dangerously distorting the truth about Northern Ireland, defaming & perversely altering history. It smears Troubles victims, lauds a paramilitary force & libels politicians.
I think Hegseth is the most embarrassing person in any leadership position anywhere in the world, a 13-year-old boy pretending to be a man. On 60 Minutes:
“The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live.”
Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Immigration attorneys are scrambling to find a Bay Area mother and her two young children, one of whom has severe disabilities, after she was arrested by federal immigration officers in San Francisco this week.
South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign
I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.
C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Believe it or not, Texas produced more electricity from big solar farms than California last year. (Although if you add in rooftop solar, California was still the solar leader.) insideclimatenews.org/news/0503202... via @dangearino.bsky.social
My favorite protest sign of 2025
Kristi Noem has used $200M+ in taxpayer funds to pay firms with close ties to her top aides to make anti-immigrant PSAs.
Her luxury jets will cost taxpayers nearly $300M.
Trump's lackeys rail against "government waste," but are happy to pilfer taxpayer funds for themselves.
This new @clientearth.bsky.social lawsuit could set important precedent on whether retirement plan managers have a fiduciary duty to address climate risk. Cushman & Wakefield's small cap fund disclaims any effort to analyze climate risk, ignoring how climate change threatens portfolio value.
Columbus “discovered” the Americas and the US just “found” oil in Venezuela
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
"From the US you get forced into trade deals promising a future of burning fossil fuels whose price is subject to wildly destructive US adventurism. From China you get reliably cheap EVs and green tech to generate renewables"- giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @alanbeattie.bsky.social
Already is I think
Isn’t it that billionaires don’t need mortgages so don’t need insurance? And if a Cat 5 wipes out their $10m playpen in a decade’s time no biggie, they have other houses. It would be like me getting a 10 year old bike stolen. Sad and a pain but not a huge deal.
Breaking: A class action lawsuit has been filed against real estate giant Cushman & Wakefield for allegedly failing to protect it workers' retirement savings from climate-related risks.

I wonder if anyone posed to her the key question we’ve all been wanting answered: is the song correct to suggest that she’s a bird-legged ho? Asking on behalf of the bird community (actually would have been very appropriate for rep K-Dove to have asked this)
Mic drop. 🎤
Fascinating and important discussion
An @theintercept.com analysis finds that every member state of the Board of Peace has been rebuked for human rights violations, including many by Marco Rubio’s own State Department. theintercept.com/2026/03/02/t...
