I think what is hard for some people is that if you don't go with .social it's not obvious where you should go. For Irish people mastodon.ie is the obvious one but I'm not sure there is an easy default choice for people in other locations.

I'm also fascinated by how the UK seems to have an endless stream of pensioners willing to be arrested over the Palestine Action ban, and that the UK government's proposed solution to this issue is to arrest more of them.

That's regardless of what you think about the subject of their protests.

It strikes me that UK protests against the banning of Palestine Action are strange mirror images of Enoch Burke's school protest and an illustration of how things get a bit awkward when you have people who don't mind being arrested for their protests.

Ahoy there! Dublin listings spreadsheet update. I am experimentally leaving the Everything tab sorted chronologically but the detail tabs have the new stuff first. There are lots of horror events here thanks to the Bram Stoker Festival and the IFI's Horrorthon festival, but there are other things, including concerts by The Necromancer, Super Furry Animals, Kraftwerk & The Cure, lots of opera, etc. etc.

The British government is so concerned about Israeli actions in Gaza that they are about to sign a £2 billion contract with Israel's largest defence contractor. That'll show them.

When did drag storytelling become a thing? I had never heard of it before people started protesting against it.

Dublin Cat is a cat who sometimes appears outside our house and tries to invite himself in. Our cat does not like him.

I went to see a film set in Australia, so I dressed like an Australian.
