If only they'd kept themselves to the genocide.
Any councillor admitting on the record that they struggle to see cyclists and pedestrians on the road is admitting that they are a danger to the public and not fit to drive, and their licences should immediately be suspended.
"The judge said the reference was in fact to a former TD"
Daniel Ranamoorthy, convicted of abusing a child at a Christian camp, previously worked as an advisor to former Fine Gael TD Richard Bruton, so if I was a journalist, I'd probably ask Mr. Bruton first if it was his reference? #Spéirgorm
One contributor on Sunday (can't remember her name) spoke of the opposition being ineffective and doing "whatever the EU tells them to do" and it just sailed by unchallenged - one of the great dog-whistles of our time, and no-one noticed it.
@faduda.bsky.social points out that it's a former TD, so they might be in the clear (but I doubt it).
I'd nearly re-elect them, just to make them resign again.
Kudos to the PR flunky who saw my criticisms of Minister for Communication and Spongebob Squarepants extra Patrick O'Donovan and added me to the minister's mailing list so I'd know exactly what he's trying to take credit for every day. Top-level trolling.
Eileen Flynn is a fantastic representative of Ireland and her community.

I can't stress this enough - if you're driving a two-ton machine at speed, you're responsible for it and the safety of the people you meet.
There is no grey area, no half-measure, nada - it's on you and no-one else, and if you don't drive accordingly, you forfeit your right to be on the road in it.

I cannot think of anyone less suited to being a whale than Timmy.
For me religion is a private and personal matter, and anyone preaching it needs to be taken with a massive pinch of salt, but these arseholes are off the charts.
This Kurdish woman is 95 years old, has had a stroke and has heart and respiratory problems, and possibly has dementia. She's been in Sweden 20 years and has no network back in Iraq, but Sweden's racist government is going to expel her anyway.
Palme's "people's home" has become a racist kip.
Återigen - fuck er alla som röstade för det här, och försök inte at gömma er bakom "ojdå, det där visste jag inte då".
Precis ALLA visste vad som skulle hända, men ni gav dem era röster ändå.
Rasister hela högen, skäms på er.
Watch all the way to the "pastor's" response. You won't regret it.
Ack vi dumma små känslomässiga kvinnor som inte förstår att rasism, nedmonterad välfärd, ökande utsläpp och fängslade barn är ett helt rimligt pris att betala för att koncernägarna ska få behålla sina skattefinansierade vinster.
10 years since Prince died - a masterful and prolific songwriter, musician and showman.
There's so many brilliant, epoch-defining tracks to choose from, but this one is full of musical hooks, lyrical flourishes and sass, and it's close to the perfect pop song.

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Desmond Morris was very important to me because he wrote about gay people in his book The Naked Ape and it was the first time I'd ever read or heard a description of gay people that wasn't sneering or judgemental. It was thrilling.
About 40 years later I had a chance to tell him so.
RIP Mr Morris

Is there also a documentary that shows how reactionary centrists paved the way for the Nazi takeover by creating a moral panic about non-issues (like the 1920s equivalent of "wokeness")?
Sox are playing bruh
Man är ju rätt luttrad nuförtiden. Men detta är grovt. Oerhört grovt. Fy fan, rent ut sagt. Fy fan.
This fucking government man.
Idag har svenska elevers skolpeng betalat helsidesreklam i Dagens Industri för utländska riskkapitalisters rätt att dränera kommunala skolor på resurser. Stockholms stadskärna är full av utomhusreklam för samma sak, även det finansierat av skolpeng. Jag tycker att det är vidrigt.
