When housing is so precarious, scarce and expensive, young people can't afford to take a chance on their dreams or ideas.

Same reason we don't have a vibrant young art community.

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.

@pidgeondublin.bsky.social So refreshing to hear someone speaking so intelligently about Inheritance Tax. @rte.ie

This has been on my mind a lot over the last few months.

The next chapter of this conflict will be the exploitation of the sectarian division of the Christian Church in order to 'divide and conquer'.

Watch who drives the wedges, who finances it, and ultimately seeks to benefit from it.

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

Calling Jennifer Carroll McNeill 'normal' is the funny bit.

Over the last couple of weeks Donald Trump murdered 175 schoolgirls and Micheál Martin gave him a bowl of shamrock and invited him to visit Ireland.

And the Irish Times thought that was great.

Jaysus.

The Cranberries were for people who didn't like music.

Just makes me think of trainee gardai and student teachers getting the shift in Copper Face Jacks.

Ireland when the UK starts worrying about it's food security.

Taoiseach calls for removal of security council veto power during UN speech Leo Varadkar also paid tribute to Private Séan Rooney in his speech today.

Leo Varadkar should reveal if he was blackmailed by a foreign entity into his resignation after he condemned the actions of Israel in his speech to the UN in September 2023.

This is the human cost

Extraordinary crowds as a mass funeral procession begins in Minab, Iran for the 165 school girls & teachers killed in the US/Israeli school strike on Saturday.

Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is now baked in.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

An important read.

After the annihilation of Gaza and the slaughter of tens of thousands of children why do you still proudly stand with Israel?

That's interesting.

In 2019 she sued a travel agent for a skiing accident and specifically claimed she had to drive an automatic vehicle because she could no longer drive a manual vehicle due to her injuries.

It looks like a badly drawn swastika (which I assume was unintentional).

That's not far off 1% of all deaths. Time to a) provide better end of life services, and b) regularise euthanasia.

If Steve Bannon was in contact with right wing political groups in Ireland who would his points of contact be?

Most are just too insanely nuts and lack public or media credibility. I also think he'd approach US 'expats' or those with links to the US.

Ganley, Deeter, Sheridan are my shortlist.

Ah yes. The annual reminder of how utterly shit "Ireland's Call" is.

I doubt there's a septic tank and percollation area still working in Ireland right now.

He raises a very interesting point.

Gaza’s total population “fell by about 254,000 people, a 10.6% decline compared with pre-conflict estimates”, research shows

Can we call it a genocide already or it's still not enough for you!?

Dublin Fog? No, I never heard of it.

Exactly this. Every housing policy or market intervention has been deliberately designed to inflate property valuations.

The fact that cities that ended fluoridation have recommenced it again because of emerging dental health issues is telling, and for me, it's disappointing.

Education, and the free availability of fluoridated toothpastes, would be a better option when questions remain about neurological impact.

No, fluoridated toothpaste is the miracle.

People who add fluoride to drinking water clearly don't understand how it works.

Do you understand how insane that is?

Fluoride is only beneficial when it is directly in contact with the teeth.

That is how it works chemically to rebuild micro cavities in the surface layer of the teeth.

That is how fluoridated toothpaste works.

Would you not just use fluoridated toothpaste?

"[A new British intelligence report] echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists."

"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse...”

You won't find more crucial reading than this.
