This tweet from Web Summit, confirming it previously funded The Ditch, is remarkably the first time they ever mentioned this on their social media. Key players went to extraordinary lengths to conceal direct ties to Paddy Cosgrave and Web Summit. A thread on a web of deceit. /1

The grand tour of Vatnik Ireland part 4 🧵 I’m going to explore the divisive figure, Paddy Cosgrave; founder of Web Summit. I never suspected Paddy was a Vatnik but due to recent suspicious behaviour and links to known Vatniks, I thought I’d investigate... 1\

Yes, life in Gaza has been terrible and Palestinians have suffered under occupation. No, it doesn’t make it right to go rape and kill Israeli women and kidnap and parade their orphaned children in Gaza. I don’t know why but somehow lots of people don’t seem to understand that.

Here's questions I would ask. 1. Chay made his debut on Russia Today in late February, 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. He was introduced as "Director of Ditch Media" and captioned as such. Was he representing The Ditch in this debut appearance or going rogue? 🤔

Replying to @wereontheditch
@wereontheditch should investigate why @WebSummit has scrubbed all references to Chay Bowes despite platforming his disinformation just 18 months ago? It's a mystery! #WebSummit customers were used to legitimise Russian parrots!

We have been let down/ stiffed by what we believe to be a large fake booking for today They strung us along all week with queries and increased the numbers over n over. It was deliberate and calculated We spent so much time trying to accommodate them, rebuilding the table plans, ordering in extra food, especially for them, turning away genuine bookings for regulars and locals in the meantime, and then when it came to taking a deposit, they just tried to bluff it Only for a bit of intuition would we be left with an empty restaurant and lots of food left over, and a demoralised team It’s so hard. We try so hard to make our guests happy, only to get shafted Yes, it’s our fault. We should have got a deposit from the get-go But they were so convincing they had us focused on menus and allergens etc It’s so tough to swallow after a long week Anyway, we let our guard down, not even that we were trying to be hospitable. It’s in our nature My own belief is that it was somebody in the trade being a snake 🐍 and I’ll get to the bottom of it, but for now, it’s time to try and save the day It would be great to fill those tables, so if you fancy a nice bit of nosh today, you’ll be doing us a solid michaels.ie I’ve just released the tables now, and we’ll do a full rejig when we get in It’s a sickening way to start a Sunday, I couldn’t sleep I was so upset But we’ll pump on the music and get stuck in To dickhead bluffer, I’ll get ya ya prick

I wonder if Just Stop Oil will target Glastonbury, or if too many of their mates are there?

Russian media: "The source says there is panic in the Kremlin, no one can reach Putin" "Source: Right now the Kremlin is negotiating about something with general governor Dyumin" Source: Some people in the Kremlin, from the presidential administration, are finding out about a possible emergency relocation. One of the few available destinations is Uruguay".

Guys...I know this young lad's family. They're extremely concerned for his welfare. Wouldn't mind if this could be shared as widely as possible TIA extra.ie/2023/05/30/news/iri…

This has been called 'the most annoying gif on the Internet' [buff.ly/30DLya6] but it has some interesting references, because it's a kind of a visualization in gif form of the concept of coastlines' fractal dimension: buff.ly/3ny2zv7

Here's the best metaphor I've seen for why the business model pioneered by Facebook has been so damaging. From Gerd Gigerenzer. If only they had put the effort into micropayments, rather than ad markets. wsj.com/articles/algorithms-…
