Hehe I love this fake Garda scam email I got that's actually written like it was spoken by a Garda 😂😂😂

📌Israeli users launched a campaign against Italian magazine L'Espresso, accusing it of publishing a "fake" image showing an Israeli soldier harassing a Palestinian.

📌L'Espresso released the full video, confirming the scene was real. The footage shows Israeli soldiers harassing Palestinians

Tragically (for me, not you!) , I have a ticket for Lucy Darling in the Olympia tonight. Face value. Good seat. Drop me a DM if you're interested #ticketfairy

Mainly for stalky employers as you're locked into the whole MS thing so they can annoy you constantly. Also has the most annoying ringtone.

At least it's not Teams 🤮

Beyond excited. IYKYK

I think she's only there today too.

My brother is Kate Mulgrew's handler at Dublin Comic Con today and I'm insanely jealous.

Ahahahahaha!

The Actual Star e-book is $3.99 again. I don't pretend to know why, but if you need a ray of hope in humankind at this time....that's why I wrote it.

Can happen sometimes if someone in front of you someone tries to piggyback the car in front of them so the tag system thinks you've gone through and closes the barrier but in this case the car ahead went through light went green for them then red, then green for me, except went red and closed again

I was, but I won't lie I also felt a bit of a badass after - was a bit of a GTA moment 😁

Driving through the toll tag lane off Limerick Tunnel this morning. Tag beeped, light went green. Went red and barrier came down just as I was passing through. No damage to car thankfully but got a awful fright. Called and reported it, waiting to hear back.

He hopes, you mean so he can lick his boots.

The rise and fall of Twitter: From a hub for democratic discourse to a bigoted, toxic sinkhole Elon Musk’s site has evolved from one that influenced culture and helped foment revolution to one where users ‘get nothing back except rage’

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Most of mine are already on here, I'm just staying on there at the moment to post this as a reply every time Vance opens his stupid gob.

What complete eejits are voting yes on this?

They genuinely don't care. No one will enforce it.

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

The White House currently contains more pricks than a hedgehog.

Of course, we've all done it. We all dream of driving a better car. That's what these brands are good at, selling the idea of a premium product rather than actually building the things properly.

This isn't exactly surprising they've had that reputation for a very, very long time. Buying a used Jag or LR is financial masochism. I too once toyed with the idea until I did a bit of research - oof.

What utter dicks.

Brilliant news. Congrats Sam!

Update: decided to try it again today for my trip to Dublin. It's the same as a regular carriage! I was expecting luxury!

Nice

It's like a bunch of rabid raccoons got business degrees.

Because it's not worth it.

It certainly is here. One of the big differences between Irish and US universities - they pay VERY well here.
