The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo.
It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.
Bull f*cking shit
Only thing Ireland is full of is empty homes
We have over 160,000 vacant homes & around 20,000 derelict homes
State sponsored vandalism & violence

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
‘Online abuse of politicians is a profitable business-Monetisation and algorithmic amplification has turned peddling disinformation, hate speech, and harassment into a for-profit industry’.The far right Irish blue ‘thicks’ who went after Eileen cash in on hate.

Imagine being this disconnected from the cost of living that the average young person is enduring right now.
Build affordable homes. Introduce rent caps, ban evictions, cap fuel prices, introduce a living wage.
Nope.
A pyramid scheme.
Their mates in finance-land must be frothing at the mouth.

Saw this last week at the AXIS in Ballymun - it was brilliant. Heartfelt, clever & funny.
It was in the Fringe last year but keep an eye out for it around the city If you missed it!

The slow but slippery erosion of our #neutrality, one chink at a time. The people of #Ireland voted 2x for neutrality and the Triple Lock. This Government is disrespecting and circumventing the People of Ireland.
Call a #referendum now

I've just signed the open letter, calling on Jim O'Callaghan to stand up for a fair immigration process that keeps people safe and keeps our families and communities whole. Will you add your name? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/in...

Focus & Anger should be at the BBC which CHOSE not to edit/beep out the offensive slur but instead CENSORED a call to end a genocide.

Róisín Murphy @roisinmurphy Feb 8 OK so “queer” was reclaimed. It went from a slur - to a political slogan - to a broadened identity - to a market - to a HUGE industry. The first rule of markets is expansion, and I have seen the expansion firsthand, and the cynicism behind it in my industry; the music industry. As long as a market is expanding, it is very hard to to fight its negative effects. While the money is pouring in nobody wants to critique it, even its worst excesses, even authoritarianism and child safeguarding get a slide. Quote Róisín Murphy @roisinmurphy · Feb 6 Replying to @proudbiwoman @Brig_333 and @daniellismore No one even used the term “queer” unless it was to hurt someone who was gay. There were some brilliant drag queens but they never said they were actual women. Oh and the parties were fun then. 🙄 Róisín Murphy @roisinmurphy · Feb 8 And I am not telling anyone what to call themselves.
So, Roisin Murphy makes the statement that 'no one used the term "queer" unless it was to hurt someone who was gay'.
I'm unable to ignore this.
The following isn't about making personal comments about Roisin and it's not about the merits of the word, it's about challenging a lie.
Yet another newspaper article about unaffordable housing in Dublin, caused by government incompetence and corporate greed.
Estate agents use AI to make misleading adverts and the Irish regulator doesn't care
Government failing, yet again, to match their housing "targets" that they lie to the public about
Yet another newspaper article about unaffordable housing in Dublin, caused by government incompetence and corporate greed.
All of this in less than a week.
I am so, so tired.

Scrapping the Triple Lock would remove the guardrails on where Irish troops can be sent.
It weakens our neutrality and sidelines the UN.
If the Government thinks it has a mandate, let the people decide.
Image shows Séan J. Connolly standing in front of a US flag. It has a blue and purple gradient with the GCN logo and the article's title that reads: "Irish Gay Rights Movement co-founder Séan J. Connolly passes away". At the bottom of the image, a message says: "Read more on www.gcn.ie at the link in bio".

Meanwhile in Ireland, where the company is based, nothing. Head shaking, tut-tutting, and ah-sure-it’ll be grand. I suppose you can’t wave a magic wand to fix this either 🤨. The Harris & Martin Laughin’ has got to go.

We’ve said it repeatedly: Europe’s border policies don’t stop people from moving. They just push them onto even more dangerous and distant routes to safety.
The proprietor of The Other Place has been cozying up to white supremacism.
I want to make sure we’re clear on that as he tries to get back in Trump’s favor and his companies become even more closely meshed with the Pentagon.
