There's a line in the song "The Change" that goes: " It's not the world that I am changing. I do this so, this world will know, that it will not change me" Even if boycotting this game didn't materially help Palestinians, it would undoubtedly help Ireland to retain our soul.

For the uninitiated, through no fault of Tina Turner, the song has been adopted as a Loyalist thing for the aul Bonfires playlist and "You're simply the best" is usually followed with singing "FIRST BATTALION OF THE UVF". Lines like "I get washed away" followed with "Fuck the Pope and the IRA".

We arrived at the Loyalist Edgarstown protest as it ended and the first song played in amongst the bouncy castles and slides was... Simply the Best.

A redraw of the "WOW!! COOL ROBOT!!!" meme image, only with Judge Dredd in place of a Gundam.

Dredd has his gun aimed in the air, and fires a "FASCISM IS BAD" label clear over the head of a witless fan.

The reaction from some loyalists to the open letter from Protestants calling for the OO to cancel the march has been as wild as expected. Particularly enjoying the accusations of fake signatories. UNTHINKABLE that there could be like 60 people having independent thoughts. They're all secret taigs.

Not a novel observation by any means but the irony here, of course, is that it is precisely the UK’s successful approach to multiculturalism that has allowed us to generate a brown white nationalist.

One Irish person was refused citizenship recently over the language test after a six-year process despite doing the whole thing in Swedish. The same person teaches at university level in Swedish, and has published academic texts in the language.

I just saw a post from some guy saying that traditional music is “over” because AI music will provide “infinite personalised songs”. I want music that reflects the misshapen thoughts of another human being, not the output of an algorithmic average.

Disinformation is used as a tool by the far-right. This week AI fakes were shared by TUV's McDowell as Drumcree is exploited to stir sectarianism. The Journal exposes Our Northern Ireland Voice stoking racism, potentially inciting violence warranting investigation under multiple laws and Meta's ToS.

AI images and misinformation shared widely online during Garvaghy Road stand-off

The deputy leader of the TUV admitted a photo he posted was AI-generated.

Today is the Policing Board monthly meeting, taking place "against the [Drumcree] parading issue that has generated widespread political and community contention" (words of the Chair) Trevor Clarke (DUP) objects to Deirdre Hargey (SF) participation, as she was part of Garvaghy Road protest

Making the objections of Garvaghey Road residents to a parade that 11 people were murdered over, symbolic of the what a United Ireland would be like by those who are rolled out by the state media, over and over - as sensible voices, is some of the worst faith bullshit I’ve seen - & the bar is low

Every business adopting the use of AI, robots and automation systems whilst proclaiming it's not about replacing people is obviously just lying through their teeth and journalists failing to press them on that point are not doing their job.

Now watch and see as arrests in the wake of this, for standing on a road, prompt triumphant posting from Unionist politicians and calls for more arrests which you will quite literally NEVER see them posting for the men who burnt families out of their homes the past 3 summers (and in future).

It is maybe a little reassuring to see the senior PSNI stance on the stand-off is publicly saying "this is on you lot, we're doing nahim". Particularly as the Funko Pop version of Paisley screams expectantly for his demands to be enacted with brutality to the applause of large sections of Loyalism.

A large ‘Stop the Game’ demonstration at the main entrance to Leinster House - seemingly hoping to attract the attention of the FAI delegation - but the witnesses are already inside on the premises. They’ll tell the Oireachtas Media Cmte the FAI is bound by UEFA competition rules to fulfil fixtures.
