For anyone who missed it: last night there were riots in the city centre of Dublin following the stabbing of children outside of a school during the day. The far right assumed that the attacker was an immigrant and began burning buses, trams, police cars and destroying and looting shops. From what I could tell, it was loosely organised and was mostly oppurtunists and fascists looking for an opportunity to attack people. Supposedly the attacker was an immigrant, but had been made an Irish citizen 20 years ago. He was subdued by a Brazilian immigrant. Police were very slow to respond to the rioters, despite them always being organised and showing force whenever a left wing gathering is happening. Group chats were leaked (the veracity of them is unclear), with one particular group chat called "kill all immigrants", and a voice message sent by the owner of the group chat telling people to go out on the streets and kill any immigrants they see.

Supposedly no one was seriously injured during the riots. This shows the serious threat of the far right in Ireland which, while previously extremely small, has been growing rapidly over the past five years. The neoliberal parties in power, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, have done nothing to oppose the growth of these fascists, and instead handed them a silver platter to base their anti-immigrant platform on, that being the housing crisis in Ireland. Fascists have grown more popular mainly due to their insistence that the housing shortage is because of immigrant invasions, white replacement etc, instead of pointing their fingers at the landlords and investors who hoard homes.

On a personal note, its been a kick in the backside for me to get back into organising. My mental health has been atrocious lately so I've been inactive in my org, but clearly no one has the luxury to take breaks anymore.

Oppenheimer was pretty good I thought, even though it was such a Christopher Nolan movie

No music becomes popular organically on tiktok. I believe that every song that becomes popular thought tiktok is either tailor-made to be easy to put in to tiktoks (like having some very widespread, easy to use message or a dramatic transition), or record label pay tiktok to push videos that include their songs. My reasons for believing this is that nearly every song that becomes popular on tiktok is garbage and no one can genuinely like that shit

I was gonna make this comment. That shit makes my ears bleed and I've never met a single person who likes it. I'm convinced its only popular because radio stations and retail stores were paid obscene amounts to play it 24/7

Liberals don't even like the stories of liberal revolutionaries overthrowing monarchs, because all they know is the status quo. If they lived 300 years ago they absolutely would have been monarchists

Todd Howard is greatly entertaining to me but goddamn he has been terrible as a game developer. Starfield shows such a lack of creativity

I guess I could see a cishet bottom dating a trans girl, but that's where sexuality becomes a lot more vague. Wondering if I could still be straight if I was attracted to trans and non-binary people was a major part in accepting that I was pansexual

New chainsawman chapter was very cute, all Denji and Nayuta content is great. Exhausted older brother raising an extremely powerful gremlin is such a good dynamic how does Fujimoto think of this
