If you have Alexa in your house, I will always and only use it to hear more details of Bezos's massive divorce bill.

But for what its worth, the GPO would be a great advert for city centre living above the shop (presumably Carrolls).

Dublin City should be under the control of Dubliners, with an elected Mayor, Assembly, local tax competency and extensive devolved powers. That the national govt would be signing off on a plan to improve the city is very silly. The prescribed cure is more of the same disease.

Of course the most infuriating thing about the NYC Mayoral race is that I, an STV nerd, am exposed to the way that "RCV" is talked about by a people culturally captured by FPTP.

Forget Jaws 3 at your peril.

The €9m school pouches "controversy" annoys me so much. Seems like a good idea; isn't much money. For every €1 that was going to spent on this, we are likely to be facing €2,900 in fines for failing to meet very tepid decarbonisation targets in the last decade. Pick and choose your panics folks.

I wonder was this 'loner' a member of a toxic online community/network being molded and influenced by very identifiable political movements, individuals and influencers ?

This is not 'impartiality' from the BBC. They choose to always go back to Oct 7 as if nothing was happening before. They choose to add 'according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry' when in fact there are no objective reasons to doubt those numbers. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ms Rachel said actually no I will not shut up

Rare occasion of feeling genuine bad for a FF TD in Cathal Crowe, who I would well believe didn't mean to suggest that the British Army never bombed or shot civilians in Ireland... oh god the second hand embarrassment!

BREAKING: At least five Palestinians have been killed and 50 wounded by an Israeli attack that targeted people gathering around a truck carrying flour in al-Mawasi, southern Gaza. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/q62k5i

Reports from Gaza confirm that people are now literally dying of starvation. Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.

While pediatrician Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar was working at Nasser Hospital, the burned remains of her eight children were brought in after being killed by an Israeli airstrike. (Source: t.me/QudsNen/165703)

I used to think that 'medieval peasants had it better than US office workers' was the ultimate in online self-pity and historical ignorance but 'video games were cheaper in the 1990s and life as a gamer was better' might have it beaten just because some of these dumb fucks were actually alive then.

“More than 50 people are still missing under the rubble of a four-story home … Rescue crews have been unable to retrieve them and have halted the search due to a lack of necessary heavy equipment.”

Israel should not be surprised by the assassination of its diplomatic staff abroad. It has shattered the rules of the game in its undertaking of total war, extraterritorial assassinations, bombing of a consulate, and siege and genocide in Gaza.

listen guys stop virtue signalling, eurovision is for everyone

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

Surely any idiot can see that Reform are surging because of the cost of living and declining quality of life. "Everything we valued yesterday is going to kill you and also your grandparent is being cared for by the enemy" isn't going to solve that.

For a $400mn plane he should switch sides and support Palestine

Israeli occupation forces demolished the entire village of Khallet al-Dabaa in southern Hebron on Monday, destroying around 50 residential units, seven water wells, and approximately 25 livestock pens, and ethnically cleansing 120 Palestinians www.instagram.com/p/DJUe1aliFki/

I met Louis Theroux to share my story as a Palestinian under the constant threat of displacement. While the film is an important look into the Israeli settlers trying to erase us, there is one crucial part of our story that was left out. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/i-wa... #Palestine #Israel

This is a genocide. Two million people are being starved to death simply because of who they are and where they were born.

Since the 2nd of March, Israel has been preventing food from entering the Gaza Strip.

The Gary Lineker saga in one small clip. He has upset Israel.
