Denial. The original evolutionary coping mechanism.

If their vote is very concentrated then it doesn't matter. All down to how many seats once all the vote transfers are done.

FF and FG have categorically ruled that out so they are SOL

A vote for Aontú is a vote for Fianna Fáil.
A vote for Aontú is a vote to strip abortion rights & bodily autonomy.

Vote for PBP, the only ones ruling out coalition with FF&FG, then transfer left.
Don't be duped by Aontú & other right-wingers who want to roll back hard-won rights.

Is it April 1st?

So damn true 💯

Robber barons gonna robber baron.

We call it going for a carry. Our little loves an air lift.

There was no master plan. He originally tried to back out of the deal and was compelled legally to proceed.

Cant deny he has used it to the advantage of Trump now though.

When a person in the street is yelling into a megaphone about some insanity, none of us are obligated to approach and engage to dispute their madness and have our eardrums pummelled in the process.

Politely ignoring and getting on with our own lives has long been accepted as the civil thing to do.

Elon Musk is your friends strange teenage brother who hasn't showered in a year and only leaves his room to stock up on cans of Monster.

News reports suggesting somebody forgot to plug in his empathy module that morning. An intern has been sacrificed to Moloch for the transgression.

My favoirite cafe is not representative either, it's full of vegetarians like me.

Real life is not politically or socially balanced. Never was.

The idea that social media should be apolitical or balanced was always on shaky ground.

Exactly

Watching my grandmother slowly die was all the convincing I needed personally. Even with copious painkillers it is barbaric.

In real life I only debate and argue with the tiny subset of friends I know enjoy that kind of thing or if someone is being a bully.

Social Media should mirror real life, not the other way around.

Bluesky Is Turning Into a Strong X Alternative (Gift Article) Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

“After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free.

Free from Elon Musk, and his tedious quest to turn X into a right-wing echo chamber where he and his friends are the permanent, inescapable main characters.”

Hmmm. I do suspect a significant proportion are wilful dupes.

100% - we should apply the same standard we would in person. I don't hang around to debate with people hurling abuse or being deliberately obnoxious.

Indeed. People who say such things conveniently forget that the law of supply and demand only works that way in perfectly competitive markets.

As a guiding principle, you could do worse than being resolutely against an obviously bad man, regardless of his colour.
