The former Finnish prime minister told Euronews that she "cannot rule out" that Russia is preparing for war with the rest of Europe, and that the bloc is "as dependent on Ukrainian help as Ukraine is on EU support". #12MinutesWith

Appealing a finding from 3 years ago. When high court judgements have to be appealed within 28 days. Typical Burke "I'm SPEEEECIAL" attention seeking bullshit. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour". "Ye shall know them by their fruits". Dunno what the Burkes are but Xian ain't it
Please can our useless Ff/FG do this ⬇️
Typical. Everything designed to look good on paper, but not work in practice. Just like HAP, retrofitting grants, everything else... Except corporate tax rebates of course!
The bosses' desire for control is outweighing all sense in the matter. If you can work from home & you want to work from home, you should be allowed to work from home. Tell the control freaks to get in the sea
This may support my theory that you don't necessarily need to match fight times on Ireland to UK sail and rail (or even to Ireland to France/BE/NL etc), to make the trips attractive to more people, but the connections need to be a lot less frictionless:
Can't believe all we need to "help housing" was proposing a solution of no planning permission, no standards, no inspection, no rental rights, and no Government involvement bar passing it.
Mr Kenny said the construction of 48 homes in Ballymun by the Ó Cualann Cohousing Alliance is the only social housing scheme within the Dublin City Council area that will be completed this year. 2018
Reminder: The Ó Cualann homes in Ballymun were built for €165k. So almost the same price as the Govt is giving to private developers in subsidies per home.
To paraphrase Emmet Kirwan, it isn’t lads in tracksuits robbing the country. It’s men in suits.
@thejournal_ie Costs involved in the building of new homes have spiked by "€15,000-20,000" due to the US war with Iran, according to one developer. A housing summit in Dublin heard that the sector risks a slow down if the war continues.
Developers who already have the most subsidised housing market in the EU (up to €144k per unit), want an additional €20k.
The sad thing is that the Govt will probably give it to them. They will do anything to avoid building homes themselves.
Yesterday I spoke on RTÉ Liveline about the book and video promoting Sitka sent to every primary school in Ireland.
One thing I didn't get to mention is that the tree is also highly invasive. Coincidentally, I later found one in my own place.
We may as well be planting rhododendron everywhere.
Never mind income tax cuts -
Build some f uc king infrastructure in this country.

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

Wonder where they got their faulty data? (*Cough* Elon *cough*)
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
Piglet is gorgeous. Yes a bit chonky, but aren't we all after a certain age (even when completely healthy)? Folk need to keep their snouts in their own affairs & be grateful that you allow us to share your glorious babies on the virtual. Layla is also a glorious girl, I'm not forgetting about her!
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Because femcels aren't out murdering & raping women? Dunno, just a hunch
(I'm not saying the culture isn't problematic - it is - but let's get real about who are the real world problem. It's the men. It's ALWAYS the men)

We need to talk about relatively intelligent men with 0 social skills who are surrounded by people paid to tell them their every whim is the most innovative genius idea in history ever. 1st order of business is to get politicians to STOP taking anything they say as a positive idea. Then there's...
If Trump had been involved in Vietnam, the Yankkks would have lost in... 2 weeks. But they'd have claimed it was a win, sued Vietnam & China but definitely NOT Russia, demanded compensation, before ultimately blaming Europe
Oh, the puir wee babbies still not coping that there's one part of the Anglosphere resistant to their bullshit, so they... double & triple down on bullshit
Suffragettes? It sounds like the sort of thing a man would say about them. So sometime in the 1890s
🇪🇺🏳️🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.
I know it'll never happen 'cos he's a filthy Tory, but I'd LOVE to see the UK govt appoint William HAGUE as the UK Ambassador to Yankkkistan. Just for the craic of watching them all try not to wince every time his name is mentioned

Why do people keep voting FFG? Because there's a lot of incredibly selfish people out there, with no scruples whatsoever.
Short term gain, long term pain! It's the begorrah way!
The headline is even worse when you read the article, which has nothing at all to do with any sort of power struggle within the group.
The creeping renormalization of superfluous misogyny.
Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information
