I've no right looking this bald and this hot. But enough about me. Free Palestine. Fuck transphobes. Kick a fash. Bully a billionaire. All Cats Are Beautiful. Be the light that your inner pyromaniac wants you to be. Kiss a frog. Doodle don't dawdle. Hydrate.

Solidarity vigil for the Palestinian students from Gaza at the Four Courts this morning. The Irish government must give them visas. #LetThemStudy

NATO lecturer Declan Power has an unintentionally revealing piece on Triple Lock in Indo today. He literally quotes the section of the UN Charter which makes clear that regional enforcement without UN endorsement is illegal under international law. He shrugs & moves on. #TripleLock #SpéirGhorm

Subscriber only, unfortunately. I know everyone has to be paid. I just wish this continuing, recurring saga of unforgivable neglect of children was in our daily media feed and our social discourse, as much as manufactured stories from culture warriors with an agenda and almost limitless budget.

Himself, Steven Segal and that anti-trans, misogynistic dreaded white dude all trying to get that coveted reggae Xmas no. 1 spot.

Your Hospital Needs You - SOS Daisy Hill Rally this weekend #Newry https://www.newry.ie/articles/news/your-hospital-needs-you-sos-daisy-hill-rally-this-weekend

Had a really bad dream where the Minister for Justice, in the name of the government, enabled a pile-on of a rape crisis centre because of a campaign to raise awareness of consent for children.

can’t all the unionist politicians just get along again and focus on what’s really important to them (hating catholics)?

*minister standing in front of Big Murder Company* "So minister, how do we know you'll be impartial and make the best decisions for the public when it comes to Big Murder Company?" *minister in shiny new Big Murder Company jacket*

The most shockingly bad chart I've seen in ages. Was it made as a deliberately bad chart?

They are both correct. I've been working on this issue professionally (not at DRCC) since around 2018 and the job is tough but simple: you have to communicate the facts as evidenced by mountains of studies and bitter experience. Your job is not to reflect government policy.

We all love a new blank.

Extraordinary line from Garda management here It's beyond their ability to conceive that motorist behaviour might be a driver of increasing road deaths... (poor enforcement is unspeakable, of course) Glad to see the safety of our children is in such dynamic & inspired hands

I listened to a podcast which said that most of the backlash to that 'consent' ad was on Twitter and UK TV. This was UK TV earlier this week, so no wonder they lapped it up. They are cooked. UK media are frothing at the mouth for this kinda stuff. Everyone involved in this should be embarrassed.

We all ready for whatever wild, ignorant shite our elected,and unelected representatives will spout today? Maybe one of em will advocate for killing seal pups or something.

Out of touch, car-centric victim-blaming nonsense. It's attitudes like this at the top that's the cause of rising road deaths and serious injuries.

I'm legitimately worried about the back-sliding on rights that we're seeing across the Irish political establishment. Whether or not you get behind my brand of politics, I strongly encourage you to get behind someone. We need united and unflinching resolve on rights-based issues.

Well played Aldi

I’m in my late 50s. I’m really glad we’re having discussions around consent. I don’t think resistance to it is about age. And of course it isn’t just about sex: if you don’t want me to boop your nose, I’ll be sure not to boop your nose Imagine continuing to boop…To make *yourself* comfortable?

Is this statement from Gary Gannon the only counter position from the opposition yet to the Minister for Justice's new policy on downgrading consent as the universal and only basis for touching children. Where's Alan Kelly (Lab) or Matt Carthy (SF) on this? www.socialdemocrats.ie/justice-mini...

Tis really a week of stupid statements itn't it.

Ooof.

Jaysis I knew I never had solid legs but since giving up the cycling earlier this year I've really lost a lot of muscle mass.

Honest to fuck, Fianna Fáil are a thundering disgrace altogether.

Had to drop out paperwork to my new(fingers crossed) job, I'm setting down my stall right from the off, this is how I landed at the office.

My sweet feicin jaysis. Bono is a pox.

Jim attacking legal aid, weaponising rape and then undermining a rape crisis centre. Micheál screeching at women and selling out on our neutrality. Chamber's attacking public sector. All undermining workers/unions/public. They have no respect, they serve themselves. I hate them all.

In four-fifths of cases of child sexual abuse, the perpetrator was known to the abused person. (Savi Report,2002) Children have the right to agency and respect.

This is Dublin Rape Crisis Centre's donations page. Now would be a really good time to show your support for all their work - including education on consent. www.drcc.ie/donate/

Ms Abdualu’s mother and her two sisters and brother were killed in an Israeli missile strike in March 2024. Her grandparents, her aunt, and other relations were also killed in the attack. Ms Abdualu was buried under rubble beside the body of one of her sisters for hours before being rescued.

And another thing, I feel like anyone who has an active real life role in the rearing of children knows that the whole "you don't have to be touched if you don't want to be" is the standard and has been for years

The BBC is now basically the Daily Mail funded by tax-payers, rather than tax-dodgers.

Fuckit, I'm goin for pints again tonight. And no one can stop me.

Another blow for the Soc Dems.

Just a little friendly reminder that rejection of the bodily autonomy of others is a key tenet of far-right politics, and that it's no coincidence that I've been calling him Jimmy Goebbels for the last six months or more. He's been telling us who he is for a loooooong time now.

Somebody was looking for a portable 5tB Hard drive the other day? I have a brand new one unused if you still need one

One of the reasons our gov are so out of touch is because they're still on twitter and don't seem to realise it's 90% bots and not the actual opinions of the Irish people. Or maybe that's giving them too much credit and they're just assholes...

The government will not tell us what they mean by “peace enforcement,” and when we raised the question in committee we were told that it means the government could essentially sign up to any war it likes, including the invasion of Iraq, this is why we can not allow them to gaslight the country into
