As a rule of thumb, if there's a difference between (a) "how I'd expect to be treated as an emigrant" and (b) "how I expect migrants to my country to be treated" and (b) is worse than (a)... you might not be racist but you're definitely an arsehole.

If a fraction of influencers and celebrities spent as much time talking about Respectable men in suits that are suffocating us all for profit and power instead of the "Untalked-About" topic of immigration that gets yapped about non-stop, energy might start being pointed in the right direction.

Ireland has plenty money and plenty room. How resources are being allocated or withheld from the public good is the problem. That is not the fault of anyone who needs shelter/ healthcare / etc, whether they were born here or not. Plenty money. Plenty space.

Immigration is good! It's a good thing. Immigration is not at the root of any of our problems. I'm not prepared to cede that ground, to be honest.

I wrote a thing about McGregor, Garron Noone and why we need to talk about where this nonsense is coming from. ourmaninstockholm.substack.com/p/what-peopl...

McGregor is an utterly vile human being. Ní labhraíonn sé ar mo shon! #SpéirGhorm

I won't pretend that Amazon's launch of a .ie site is not a threat to many small (and medium sized) businesses here. It is. But if I could ask Irish people to do one thing - don't assume that whatever you're buying will always be cheaper there. A monopoly is in no one's interest. #speirgorm

Much better than putting money in Bezos' pocket! Tacaímis le gnó Éireannach seachas airgead a thabhairt do Bezos. #SpéirGhorm

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street. Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist. Support local, not the billionaires.

Definitely interesting but also scary

Anyone else find it interesting the US President is using scare quotes when referring to himself? 🤔

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️
