Here for the chat. Politically agnostic, MAGA & ACAB are the same anarchist craziness to me, but Brian Thompson trespassed on rail lines & got hit by a train.

Haven’t opened Bluesky in a long time, these are the first four….threads….skies…..whatever. @ciaraioch.bsky.social I have no idea if mentioning this will perpetuate Bluesky’s thinking that you’re Bluesky Numero Uno, but….yeah. The juxtaposition be juxtapositioning…
A screenshot of four Bluesky messages on a feed. The Discover tab is open at the top. Summarising the threads Ciaraioch discusses Austen’s heroes, Jessica Ellis makes a Choosin’ Breakfast joke, Ciaraioch questions whether knowing Choosin’ Texas is a sign she’s problematic, and Susan Tonkunas reports from Texas about next of kin of a woman dead after an abortion denial during the State of Texas.

From District Magazine. Grim.
Screenshot from District Magazine's Instagram post that reads "District.

In the Kerry Gaeltacht in August 2024, there were 543 properties listed on Airbnb and not a single house available to rent on Daft.ie at the same time.

Kerry has 30 short-term lets for every one long-term rental, this was the worst ratio in Ireland, according to renter charity Threshold.

Rents in Kerry rose 10.1% in the year to Q1 2025, almost double the national average of 5.5%."

Well, yeah. Like I said I’m metering my replies because I’m entering reply guy territory (if not miles into it already). I’d appreciate if the Discover was for new accounts for at least 1 out of 3…

Greatest love and respect @bsky.app, but I thought the Discover algo was for new accounts. I’m a fan of those two but I’m actively metering my urge to replyguy them, cos I’m sure they don’t want reply guy responses. Why are they first on the feed? Cc @ciaragemmam.bsky.social @ciaraioch.bsky.social

Been a few years, but I always liked the Old Naval College in Greenwich. It’s a music school these days and you usually hear students out of the top windows practicing away. Historic Nelson-ey pub at the Eastern end of it, right on the river.

‘Perceptions of migration often become detached from migrants’ actual presence or experiences, yet they nonetheless structure political behaviour and public anxieties’ - @timbale.bsky.social Food for thought for Irish politicians and voters in this insightful article about migration in UK politics.
blogs.lse.ac.uk
Why public attitudes to immigration don’t respond to falling migration | LSE British Politics
Migration numbers are falling, but attitudes towards immigration are hardening. That's because immigration concerns are a symbol for other anxieties.
