Fintan O'Toole's column from 2018 looks ever more prescient.

You'd think they'd have more empathy with "foreign invaders", wouldn't you?
"Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile" as we say round these parts.

Couldn't his handlers fake up a Time magazine cover that said the Nobel Committee had rescinded Obama's Peace Prize and were awarding it to him, with extra gold plating?

She certainly left the White House at the same time as Musk, and is now working with him. Whether there is any horizontal jogging going on is a matter or speculation, and I couldnt possibly comment. www.thedailybeast.com/stephen-mill...

I liked to annoy my US relatives by singing the real words of John Brown's Body any time I hear Battle Hymn of the Republic! Petty, I know. My Dad was a big fan of Paul Robeson. John Brown's Body g.co/kgs/vd2fc4G

On Threads the other night (don't judge me!) having an innocent bit of banter about some trivia when posters began complaining about dodgy posts they were seeing, and then I started seeing them too. Floods of video clips, dunno if real or AI, of too young teenagers in similar dress gyrating.
Yuck!
