Recently saw a guy talking about how he got out of the incel/MRA pipeline, and he said is that nobody offered advice to men, nobody took men's concerns seriously, which is what made them vulnerable to toxic influencers. Except feminists have been taking those concerns seriously for decades.

Thank you. Yes. All of this. There's a tendency in certain circles to say "oh Elon was always a Nazi you just didn't notice," and, no. I used to spend a lot of time watching how people go from alienated to MAGA to outright Nazi. I've written about it. And that is the trajectory of Elon.

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

Can't keep a close eye here but I'm told there's people asking for spreadsheet links - I'm a few hours behind so they'll need updating, but I'll share a master link to a full folder of them when they're all up to speed #ge24

From RTÉ, a full breakdown of tallies for Cork South-West based on 97% of ballots were tallied. Two polling stations of Pat Whooley's house on Long Island (electorate: 18) and Gerard Murphy's house on Dursey Island (9) are among those not included in the data. #GE24

It’s General Election Day in Ireland. I submitted quite a few cartoons based on it. But this last minute idea occurred to me and I had to knock up in like 15 mins or miss the deadline. It’s in the latest Phoenix Magazine. #cartoon

I’m nowhere near his constituency but still, a loss of Thomas Pringle in this #GE24 would be so disappointing. A wonderful voice in the Dáil.

Use your transfer votes and vote down even if you don't like other parties. Just don't vote for Aontú, Irish People, National Party, Ireland First, Gavin Pepper, Ben Gilroy + be careful of independents. Below, racist comments I've gotten over the yrs. Vote so people like me can live in peace #GE24
