Sure you could develop your housing policies using evidence, examine the pros and cons, the potential environmental, infrastructural and social impact of such a decision, or…

You could ram through legislation for the beds in sheds program just because a billionaire funded “think tank” asked you too

My true calling is "cat mom" and I've accepted this

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.

Watching how horrified everyone is at paper based record and laughing in HSE

This calculator that doesn't work will replace 30% of workers within four years.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Found out my mam's side were posh af from the census, girl where did I go wrong

Value to the economy and society isn't simply based on income brackets. There wouldn't have food without rural Ireland. Without "blue" jobs, high income earners wouldn't be able to get to work or god forbid even get a good latté. We all contribute, Leo.

It must burn up the US's first 4chan government that the war with Iran has shown easily they are outmatched in online trolling.

I really want wooden stairs rather than carpet but anyone who knows me is like "no, you will slip and die" and honestly... they're right.

Every single person who says "Ireland for the Irish" adds a silent invisible asterisk that leads to a footnote that says "Except Irish travellers"

This is outrageous.

Just after Trump announced his sham ceasefire, Israel bombed an ambulance workers funeral in South Lebanon.

Channel 4 News was there and captured everything.

Israel does NOT want peace. It wants to keep committing genocide and stealing other people’s land.

Honestly, too few of us recognise that Trumpian levels of tacky, self-serving corruption have already infiltrated our political life in Ireland. It's not something we need to "watch out for". It's already here. #spéirgorm

All it takes to feel like a human again is 10 hours sleep

Pinterest is just AI now 🫠

No matter how insufferable you might be, at least you didn’t godsplain to the pope

for sale: data center, never used

While external validation is not the be all and end all, there is nothing more attractive than a good laugh and kind eyes, so please don't hammer your jaw

In a way, I feel bad for cl*vicular bc he's 20 and basically the world is mocking him for body dysmorphia but also I'm angry that he's spreading such toxic crap to insecure boys and men

I have always had some hypermobility in my hips but in the last 2 weeks they are stiff as a board and I simply am finished with aging if this is how it goes

JD Vance going to nail his one thesis of "dropping bombs on brown people is good actually" to the door anyday now

For all my non Catholic followers, I cannot explain how big a deal this is. In Protestant Christianity you can have your own interpretation of the Bible, that's fine. In Catholicism the Pope is seen as the voice of God. He's the one person who can speak on God's behalf. Saying he's wrong is heresy.

Two things can be true at the same time: grievances can be real and people struggling, but their protests and the allies they choose completely wrong. And the double standards the state and media applies to them also obvious. The next time there's a strike, see how far you get blocking O'Connell St

Pros of the fuel protests:
-Irish govt facing no confidence vote
-Motorists angry
-people reminded protest can work
-people reminded protest sometimes requires breaking the law

Cons:
-the most self-entitled gammony prick you know who'd see you dead thinks he's a Folk Hero now for driving a tractor

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:

a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b

There's a cruel irony in being a ginger who loves sun and warmth

Every April I see the sun in the sky after 6pm and realise that I have been depressed for the past 6 months

James Geoghegan can fuck right off

forgetting the past so much that the Vatican and Iran are on the same side now

it'll be back in three days
