🚨🗣NEW: "Irish speakers pay rates across Belfast… It’s about taking Irish out of the political arena and into the community where it belongs." 🎥🎤Chief Reporter James speaking to Sinn Féin Councillor Cllr Tomás Ó Néill. He outlined his views on the Draft Irish Language Policy, saying the proposals would boost the visibility of Irish in the city and stressing that Belfast has "the most lively and energetic Irish language community in Ireland." On staff safety concerns, he said he would always support council workers and if there are any issues they should be dealt with by the police. Belfast City Council will debate the issue tomorrow night.

⭕️Magdala Street Belfast City Council = 24 surveys issued on Magdala Street. They got 1 response, and it was a yes. That was then recorded as just 4% support for Irish language street signage. What they don’t mention is the other 23 houses simply did not respond but those non-responses are effectively being used to suppress the true level of support. My figures = I went door to door on Magdala Street myself. 24 surveys, 12 said yes, 5 could not properly answer due to language barriers, and 7 did not answer the door. That means every response I got from the residents who could clearly engage with the question expressed support. This is now the second Belfast City Council survey I’ve personally checked and found to be misleading. The problem is not lack of support for the Irish language, it’s a survey process that treats lack of engagement as lack of demand. I will keep doing this until it is acknowledged. Gordon Lyons MLA

The song is in Shona Zimbabwean language. It is based on a true story of a soldier who was working far away from his village and had a dream of his mother not feeling well and he requested for a work leave from the Zim army. When he arrived at his village coincidentally his mother was on her death bed and he wouldn't have known had he not made it back home. He wrote this song which he later sang with fellow soldiers. ❤️🇿🇼

Nikol Pashinyan’s remarks at the National Assembly podium today make clear that his language is not situational, but deliberate. In his speech, he referred to generals and elites as “runaways” and “cowardly traitors,” accusing them of holding both the Armenian state and the people of Artsakh “hostage.” Just days earlier, in the Yerevan Metro, he used the same term in a different context, addressing an Artsakh Armenian woman and, by extension, the displaced population. There, “runaways” was not directed at elites or officials, but at people who had fled under force. That distinction is central. Today, the argument is structured and directed at specific figures. On Sunday, the same language was applied broadly, without that framing. The wording did not change. Only the target did. Following public backlash, the same language was reframed toward elites instead of the displaced. This shift is not incidental. It preserves the message while reducing immediate political cost. Used against displaced civilians, the language provoked outrage. Redirected toward generals and elites, it becomes more defensible in a formal setting, placing the blame on those groups instead. But the underlying logic remains unchanged. In both cases, responsibility for the outcome in Artsakh is reassigned away from himself and his political party, and onto others, whether framed as elites or as part of the displaced population.

🇮🇪 Ireland's wealthiest resident has said the top priority for the Irish state should be to stamp out racism. In an interview with business lobby group IBEC, billionaire Denis O'Brien called on the business community to "stand up" to anti-immigration sentiment and celebrated racial diversity: “Unless we nip this in the bud it can be a very big problem for Ireland... look at the number of Indian CEOs in the tech bro community, all of them are investors in Ireland. If there is any shift in thinking that Ireland is a racist society it could be really, really serious and it’s something we need to stamp out immediately.” O'Brien has owned major or controlling shares in many major Irish and European media outlets, including Ireland's highest-circulation newspaper the Irish Independent, the UK's leading commercial news-talk radio brand LBC, and Ireland's most popular commercial radio station Today FM.

As everyone knew he would, reprehensible troll-doll made Irish president, Michael Higgins, hijacked a Holocaust memorial event and made it about Gaza, even adding in the debunked Gaza famine blood libel. A blood libel at a Holocaust memorial... He was begged by the tiny Irish Jewish community not to attend and defile this event, seeing as he is an obsessed anti-Zionist who never found an antisemite he wouldn't mourn or embrace. He came and lectured Jews anyway. Some who objected to his trivialization of the Holocaust and his conflation of it with the (fake) "famine" in Gaza, were dragged out. Free tip: Antisemitic nations fail. Don't bet on Ireland.

Rupert Lowe tells Joe Rogan the grooming gang story has been mislabeled twice over. First in scale — these are organized operations trafficking girls as young as 10 around the country, not scattered individual crimes. Second in language — "Asian grooming gangs" smears communities with no connection to it while obscuring the perpetrators. He credits Musk's takeover of Twitter with breaking the silence that kept both misnomers in place. His point is that the vocabulary was doing work, and the work was concealment.

#WATCH | On PM Modi's "No leader in the world told India to stop its operation" statement, BJP MP Captain Brijesh Chowta says, "Today, the PM reiterated his earlier statement on the Floor of the House - that India was very clear and it was only on the demand of Pakistan's DGMO that India accepted a ceasefire. Unfortunately, the LoP did not understand anything about warfare and other things...I do not understand what the LoP was trying to say. It clearly shows that he is speaking the same language which the Pakistanis are speaking and trying to act as spokesperson for the Pakistanis which is unfortunate...We are very happy that the nation today, once again, is with all the spirit of Sindoor will together work towards a Viksit Bharat." He further says, "...Today, senior leaders like Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari were not give a chance to speak for Congress. So, it clearly shows what the Congress is trying to do..."

💥REPORT: Immigration Canada denies a French national (who speaks fluent English) a work visa for failing an English exam — but Indians and Muslims who can't speak a lick of either official language are fast-tracked into the country. Tom Mandala has lived in Montreal for seven years, studying at UQAM, but his work visa was denied on the grounds that he didn’t include language proficiency in either French or English. Mandala had to pass an English equivalency test at UQAM to obtain his diploma, but it wasn't recognized as credible by Immigration Canada.

An Indian citizen who came to Russia on a student visa has died in the war. Adjaya Godara, 22, arrived in Russia in November 2024 to attend language courses and was looking for civilian part-time work. A few months later, he was drafted into the army and sent to the front without any military training. He told his family that he had been cheated and essentially forced into military service. The last time his family had contact with him was in September 2025. The funeral took place in December.

"there's an invitation to slowness." isha kumar, a brilliant designer at Linear, on protecting joy + intuition as AI speeds everything up. genuinely one of my favorite conversations i've ever had on the topic of AI and design! "the best way for me to be creative is to preserve a sense of joy in my work. a lot of AI and the way that the workflow works today doesn't work naturally with that. it transforms people who wanted to be ICs into being pseudo-managers. it forces a language of thinking that is not super natural to product design because it makes me verbalize all of my instincts, thoughts, and intuition in a way that is stalling for me." "where i'm doing my best design work is when i can enter a place of prolonged contact with the work that i'm looking at, and that language for me is visual because it's almost subconscious." "i don't use AI for any evaluation of my designs. i don't use it for content assistance either because oftentimes it just feels like i'm speaking to something that wants to affirm me, not provoke me." more:
