Irish Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan tells Gript: "My Department's role with Coimisiún na Meán is to make sure that people don't get their 'news' from people who thrive on the advent of fake news, but rather from trusted sources, including our public service broadcaster."

With TikTok refusing to go before the Oireachtas, is it time for a ban to be considered at EU level? TikTok have said they will not appear before the Oireachtas to talk about people posting videos of themselves driving down the wrong way of the motorway - now coined as 'TikTok joyriding'. A TikTok spokesperson said they have declined the Oireachtas invite because of the ongoing M9 crash garda investigation; a Coimisiún na Meán review, and because they were the only platform invited to attend. Barry Andrews MEP, Chair of the Development Committee, and Fianna Fáil TD, tells us more.

What the heck is an Irish minister talking about protecting a “European Child”? Fine Gael’s Patrick O'Donovan Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media of Ireland, says that he is going to push hard to bring in the digital ID to protect the “European Child” They cannot even say Irish children anymore! We have got to resist the digital ID at all costs, as soon as it goes up before the Dail we will have to campaign hard to make sure it doesn’t come in.

💥⚠️WATCH Belfast fuel protest: “Every day is a struggle. I had to do something. I can’t sit on my hands.” 🎥🎤Chief Reporter James reporting and speaking to a farmer taking part in the protest in Belfast on the Sydenham Bypass near Belfast City Airport. 🚜Sam Hanna is a dairy farmer from Ballygowan. He says he is struggling to make a living with rising costs. He wants things to “change right from the top to the bottom.” Makes clear he did not know who was organising the protests, but says he felt it was important to be there and take part. Also says how no roads were blocked, and that this was taken into consideration for emergency vehicles. He apologises for the disruption, but wants people to be thinking about the issue. The disruption in Belfast comes after similar demonstrations in the Republic of Ireland disrupted fuel supplies, port operations, and traffic in city centres and on motorways for a week. First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly BL last week wrote to Prime Minister Keir Starmer urging him to bring forward a package of support measures for people here. Health Minister Mike Nesbitt said he would be concerned if roads were blocked. He said: “Just engage in legitimate, legal protest. “Today, as is the case every day, there will be well over 100,000 engagements or interactions between the HSC and the public.”

The killing and starving of innocent civilians is morally and legally unacceptable. That should be the universal benchmark not when you ‘feel’ it’s too much. Mainstream media must take responsibility for how they reported the Palestine cause since October 2023 and before. Link to full interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored last week

This week’s appearance by Meta, Tiktok and Google before the Oireachtas Communications Committee proved yet again that Big Tech cannot be trusted to protect children online because Big Tech is in the business of psychological manipulation and keeping people hooked. That’s why it’s pretty shameful that Minister Patrick O’Donovan is not committing to banning access to social media for under-16s, when other countries are realising that children’s welfare requires this.

Patrick Collison on the importance of beauty and craftsmanship when building products “If Stripe is a monstrously successful business, but what we make isn’t beautiful… I’ll be much less happy. The world’s just uglier than it needs to be.” Patrick believes that the impact of beauty and craftsmanship are higher than people think. And not just for aesthetic reasons — it’s rational for customers to buy beautiful products. “What does a beautiful thing tell you?” Patrick asks. “It tells you the person who made it really cared."

Media member to Dana White: First of all, I owe you an apology. I was one of the people that hated Power Slap. I did a commentary in Arabic for them last time. And my God, you are 100% right. We are all wrong. I respect you so much for it.

Denny Hamlin will NEVER be considered anything more than a modern day parvenu. Btw, how much did you pay for this Denny Hamlin ? Seriously, how much did you pay for this. Bc we all know you bought it. Much like you bought the extremely biased coverage of the Nascar trial, the post-championship “victim” narratives from the media (when you just got straight up beat falcons patriots style), the back-to-the-industry espn coverage of 23xi (what happened to that btw), the MJ shots on pit road (where is he btw, thought he was a true fan), the ReddickxMJ shoe coverage, the 23xi Reddick performance (he won zero races last year), and much much more. Oh and how much $ did it take to convince Shane van Gisbergen to tank at Circuit of The Americas to give Reddick that 4th win in a row? ⬇️

Happy Sunday you lovely people! My favourite day of the week, going to cook a lovely little roast! I’ve been down the farm shop and got a free range chicken! Thank you to all the love, support & messages about my dancing last night on strictly. I promise you now, I’m going in to next week and I’m going to give it everything I’ve got. Can’t wait to get back in training tomorrow! I have got a cheeky crumble and loads of custard for desert. I’m sending love to you all out there whatever you are doing and keep on smiling. Happy Sunday. Bosh❤️🇬🇧

This is for all the people in the arena ( your life, your career, your family ) who are doing it for them .. not for the validation of the crowd One of the great issues in our society right now is that people live their lives for outside validation, for the clicks, for the likes, for the followers, for the comments. This isn't just in social media. This is happening in the analog and real world too. Too many people are keeping up with the Joneses and worried about what people think about them. They worry about what people think about how much money they have, what school they go to, or even worse, what school their kids go to, and on and on and on … I will continue to make content with the hope it breaks someone out of the hamster wheel and that’s that ❤️❤️❤️❤️
