JMJ, just build public housing..

I don’t disagree but that’s also how most people interact with almost every band/musician ever

Looking forward to the Dublin show…

Thinking back to the time a bunch of loser buzzfeed fans hounded me for like a week after I called this guy a racist back on Twitter

Any time I have to go on there for work, every single post I see is so long that it cuts off with a “read more”. Even if they somehow fixed all of the racism, they’d still be stuck with a massive loser problem

Theres a large chunk of centrists who think that the magical black person trope is a form of anti racism

How on earth is this sort of thing legal? This is simply a slum. It's ironic because I believe houses such as this were used as such from the early 1800s to mid 20th century. This is just neo-colonialism.

Looking forward to tomorrow's papers, when exactly none of Ireland's columnists, who are usually so keen to tone-police every single aspect of civil discourse, will stand up for Eileen.
When people tell you who they are. believe them.

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

There’s a non-zero chance he’s only doing this because he is larping a TV show detective and has accidentally turned himself into an actual alcoholic

They're called wind turbines and they more than nice, they're essential

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

Haha love that that’s the word you used after I said this earlier about it

Going to see it on Tuesday. Can’t wait

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

Bigotry against Travellers is where many Irish racists cut their teeth.

Yep seen lots of Munster fans voicing their distaste which is heartening (intentionally avoided specifics in the original so it could cover a few different ongoing situations across a few different sports)

I actually think it’s fine (and, dare I say it, good) for a fanbase to let a team representing their community know when they have done something that doesn’t align with their morals

Remarkable how Keir Starmer continues to be the British prime minister despite how often he trots out the defence “no I didn’t do something bad because I had any kind of plan, I did it because I’m stupid and was plainly wrong in the exact way my critics, who I will continue to ignore, said I was”

He looks like the exact person who would complain about this kind of thing

The only way you could misunderstand a concept as basic as “many women (and men) make a pretty basic connection between someone’s politics and their personality” is if you had a vested interest in misunderstanding it or if you were very, very, very stupid.

Either way, you have nothing to add here

Very Smart Men™ love to frame this as men being more open minded than their pesky female counterparts when really it’s just men not valuing women as people

If you asked the same men would they date a misandrist they’d almost universally say no, so why are women expected to want to date misogynists?

Men are more willing to date outside of their own political alignment for a whole bunch of reasons and all of them are selfish

The most fundamental reason is these men don’t care about a potential partner’s political alignment because they don’t take women’s opinions seriously. It’s very simple

As always, the Very Smart Men™ complaining about women aren’t even smart enough to realise what their complaint reveals about their views on women

If you see someone as an equal partner in your relationship, not just an accessory, then their political beliefs should absolutely matter to you

She does go directly to try harass elected officials and some pretty high paid councils workers too tbf but they are obviously harder to get on the line

Yeah for sure. I’ve had many a conversation about how I’ve tried to get my pension out of anything dodgy (both morally like weapons manufacturers and economically/also morally like AI) where people look at my like I’ve two heads. I think most people think a pension is just a savings account

Tbf I think part of the problem here is this is part of an ongoing beef she’s been having with the council where they have ignored their own ecological assessment and local objections to push something through and then after that people kind of switch their brains off and assuming everything is bad

(Yes I am now dating an Austrian and yes this did come up on our first date and yes it did turn out she knew his ex)

RIP Alex Manninger. The first man I ever had a crush on. I was six years old and didnt understand why I liked staring at this picture so much. I never met you but you helped me find a piece of myself
