'France’s iconic bars-tabacs are closing in droves, stripping communities of a key social lifeline and influencing their politics, according to a study that links the decline of neighbourhood bars with the rise in support for the far-right National Rally.’

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Documentaries on ancient civilisation have been based on less than this.
It’s official, Twitter is now an official US propaganda tool.
'The United States has directed every American embassy and consulate across the world to launch coordinated campaigns against foreign propaganda and endorses Elon Musk’s X as an “innovative” tool to help do it.’
'The cable, signed by the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, on Monday and obtained by the Guardian, also suggests embassies and consulates work alongside the US military’s psychological operations unit to address the problem of rampant disinformation. It lays out a sweeping set of instructions for how embassy staff should push back against what it describes as coordinated foreign efforts to undermine American interests abroad.’

'This carved stone plaque was found in St Francis' Row in Cashel, and it is believed to be the sign for a tavern that was known as 'The Cat & Bagpipes', that once stood on the main street of the town.
It may date to as early as the 16th or 17th century, and offers a wonderful glimpse of Cashel's social life from centuries ago.'

There's little room for independent thought in most state broadcasters.
To work at the BBC you have to filter opinions, keep stum, or just be dumb.

Looking up from the pub filled streets of Irish Disneyland, Dublin we can see the towers where plenty of this cringeworthy neoliberal culture exists.
