Lads. We're one more day away from the sun setting after 18.00 in the evening🤩

🍿 Critics responses to the EU's latest legislative package: it's halloween for NGOs and Christmas for lobbyists www.politico.eu/newsletter/p... (we've added stars to give it a Cannes film festival twist 🎬)

Why did I think this was Siobhán McSweeney?

Although an article from Reuters, this is an appalling headline from the Irish Examiner. These men have been accused of human trafficking and more.

LOL

At a time when LGBT+ government employees in the US are being fired, a straight woman claims her heterosexuality was a factor in why a gay man got the role she applied for. BUT "the two people who had authority in those personnel decisions [...] were straight."

you're free to cover whatever topic you wish, as long as it's the topic I want. that topic? freedom

Looking up the 1737 Administration of Justice (Language) Act (Ireland), I was surprised at when it was repealed here. England: 1863 Ireland: 1962‼️ Why did it take us so long to repeal this?? www.bbc.com/news/article...

My letter in the @irishtimes.com this morning. The media must do a much better job when it comes to reporting on road deaths.

I was hoping that the signage could have been saved - its a small part of Dublin's urban history.

Its appears that Germany is going through similar sharpening-of-minds in own post-election government formation talks due to Trump and the like, just as Ireland did.

The flow of bad news is ceaseless, isn't it?

"No reason was given for denying Boylan entry." I think we all know the reason.

This is a second lavender scare. They're going to purge all LGBTQ employees from the federal government.

Not to alarm anyone (as I know, many of us are alarmed enough as it is with everything), but I thought you should know that it's the 1st of March on Saturday😵‍💫

Israel - despite Zelenskyy being a Jewish president defending his country from potential genocide voted with Ukraine’s aggressor. Hungary, an EU member with its own dark history from Russia also voted w the Kremlin. And the US - shocking.

Yeah seems pretty obvious to me that this huge gender divide in the politics of young people is being driven by men's rights / manosphere videos that act as a gateway into alt right politics.

And to the surprise of no one, he's a Trump supporter.

My heart breaks for Ukraine and how their chosen future, is being taken away from them after three years of bravely fighting against Russia's invasion and occupation of their country.

Its time we start calling Trump part of the axis of evil.

There's not much good news about, is there?

Severance is just so so good. Fantastically gripping stuff altogether.

"Betrayed. First Zelensky, and soon us? The radical rejection of the US by its allies" – today's cover of the German Der Spiegel

Well now, those bags of shopping from Marks and Sparks are SOOOOOO heavy.

Imagine still posting on twitter...

Great. Expect endless mediocre spin-off TV series. I wonder will it all end up going to pot as it becomes a mish-mash of MCU-like set of unwanted films?

Taken today. Imagine paying €8 for a dozen eggs in Ireland!

Its all too often that the EU will pay for the wedding band, but can't decide on the songs.

Dorset, England, 1938.

A person who has so much at stake, and so much to lose, stands up to Trump when so many do nothing but flatter & appease

Oh, look, it's me with another terrible selfie, issued purely for validation.

I'm told there's not a single night club in all of West Cork until you get to Cork city. Ten years ago, my small hometown boasted two.
