BREAKING: Fork found in kitchen

Tipperary council seeks new law to compel walkers, cyclists, e-scooter users to don hi-vis Tipperary County Council's elected members have unanimously passed a motion to request the Minister for Transport to make it mandatory for these road users to wear hi-vis jackets or vests in the inter...

Who’s going to tell these councillors that the moment they step out of their cars, they’re pedestrians too? By their own logic, they’d need to be in hi-vis at all times.

Rather than tackling dangerous driving or poor road design, the responsibility gets dumped on the most vulnerable people instead.

What is this Government’s vision for the future of young people in Ireland?

In at least one Dublin house, dozens are sharing overcrowded rooms and paying hundreds for a bed.

This is not a housing system. It is a return to tenement conditions.

Shedsits with no tenancy rights and no protection. FFG is creating a whole subsection of renters who will never be housed. They have no intention of fixing this crisis, they are just allowing substandard accommodation to become the norm.

This isn't Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael trying to address the housing crisis. It's FFG addressing the "running out of landlords who will vote for us" crisis.
Can't afford a second property? Not to worry, FFG will let you start your landlord career from a shed... but only if you vote for them #spéirgorm

Her Lapras in particular is annoyingly tanky.

James Connolly was right.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Moltres and Articuno weren't too bad for me but I had gone through at least thirty ultra balls with Zapdos before I ragequit and restarted; got it with fewer than ten on the second attempt!

Lugia and Ho-Oh with their constant Recover bullshit, however... 😡

Had a crap day, to cap off a pretty crap week. And probably gonna waste my weekend being mopey and feeling sorry for myself.

Still, Orbán's defeat and new Tom Waits meant that at least two good things happened.

This is a genuinely mindblowing combination. 1) Deliberately false information, 2) promoted in schools, 3) using public money, 4) in the service of private profits, 5) at the cost of our collapsing ecosystem.

Be nice to see this in Ireland for all empty (ie not lived in) properties, and to have it exponentiate for all extra properties.
Also, if a consortium, tax distributed equally to all shareholders (rather than taxing the company, take it out of the dividends, it stock sales) #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm

I’m sorry WHAT

Victor Orban:

The song of our people.

Just encountered one that looked "reasonable" at first glance, but deeper in the fine print it started attacking IPAS provision and support for Ukrainian refugees. Rapidly approaching 10k signatures

Shame the "best shiny" entry doesn't let you post the shiny. 😐

Had a nice evening talking to strangers in bars.

Would be nicer if I had local friends I could talk to in bars, but after 11+ years in Dublin I still have not managed to find that level of connection. 🫤

It must be a "me problem" but I still struggle to unlock the secret of lasting friendships. 😔

Trump isn't making America great again.

Trump works for Putin, and Putin wants to destroy America from the inside.

Americans are way too calm about the fact that a hostile Russian asset is sitting in the Oval office and has access to our nuclear codes.

The "Charity begins at home" people are... *checks notes* abusing charitable people feeding homeless Irish people #spéirgorm

It's mad, for a very small country Ireland has a massive amount of absolute cunts.

Inevitable. Fuel protesters in #Ireland have now added to their demands that the Government resume oil & gas exploration off the west coast of Ireland!

Proving that they don't give a damn about Iran, Lebanon, war, climate change. Fossil fuel industry tools.
