Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

Thanks Joe, now all I want is choc-covered Brazil nuts.

I never knew that about the change, but yep it makes so much more sense now.

My theory that there's only about 8 people in Ireland continues to prove itself

A nation of slumlords.

Absolutely brutal line

Saw a thread knocking around here somewhere today on why, if we want to see political change in Ireland, we need to start getting behind parties like the Social Democrats.

Unrelated, they see fit to source TDs who worked here:

This just simply has to be a humiliation kink thing.

I finally got Manannán transcribed. It is the 1939 Irish language sci-fi book with the first Spaceship using a gravity assist in literature.

Next up is conversion to modern spelling. If you know a list of known changes (annso->anseo) or can even just help by reading please let me know.

I’ve be involved in various capacities in counter disinformation and counter hate speech activity on Irish online spaces for over 8 years.

I have never witness anything as bad as the abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn… it’s gamergate levels of targeted & coordinated harassment.

Once again we must reckon with the fact that Daniel Kinahan is the spitting image of Donald Trump Jr.

How someone feels about Irish Travellers is usually a good barometer of how far you're likely to get with them on other social justice issues. One of the most maligned and least equal groups in our society.

Bluesky:

I'm actually shocked (but pleasantly shocked) that they received a custodial sentence at all.

Fully deserved, what they did was clear cruelty to both the poor cat & its owners.

This is what putting party before country looks like.

I hope one of the news orgs clip & share today's rant inc. his sneering.

It's a continued bad look for Micheál & FF, especially after all his patronising carry on last week.

I don't agree with all of Mary Lou/SF's policies/stances, but I don't need to be a dedicated supporter to recognise Micheál's "but Sinn Féin"ing & snide personal swipes every time someone simply expects him to do his job.

He accuses Mary Lou & SF of being "weak", but it's his behaviour that's weak.

Micheál Martin predictably went on a particularly snide rant at Mary Lou today instead of answering legit questions about the horrifying standard of some inner city public housing.

It's becoming quite clear that he has a heightened emotional reaction when female members of the opposition ask Q's.

What pissed me off most, when Leo dropped that line, was that he never held a set of work keys in his life

As Dr, as TD, as Minister there were always people on minimum wage who'd opened the building before he got there, who were there to lock up when he was gone, and had to clean up after him too

McGuirk was in my class in college, so I got to watch him continually fuck up for years, and in the time thereafter.

He hasn't a single principle he holds dear; he's just a hollow craving for attention that's compelled to prove itself smarter than others by lying to them, dressed up in a bad suit.

Probably fine. Definitely nothing to do with the far right influence on the protests.

Gotta make sure they give us their full wishlist before we take on the EU Presidency

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

If Ant & Dec were sommeliers they’d have to stand the other way around

Everyday I check whether the fuel protesters have finally set up outside Doonbeg & everyday I see that no, they've quite interestingly not included the man directly responsible for this fuel crisis in their protests. Hmm.

How do we know that this isn’t just Time Travellers trying to stop the AI apocalypse?
