Today’s analysis of inflation by Ireland’s CSO on age &class shows (as we’d guess) that lower inc & younger people are hardest hit and as price rises are being driven by energy, it is imperative to move asap to green energy. It’llbe more stable than fossil esp with psychos like Trump & Putin around.

men would rather *gestures in every direction at everything* than go to therapy.

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

Sinn Féin: We should totally base all our policies on this.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Note how you NEVER see an expectation or suggestion that prices will go down, despite companies trying to get rid of more than a quarter of their workforce because they don't want to pay them. AI's only purpose is to turn the wages of workers into profit for capitalists.

This man is allergic to fucking off

Ireland's minimum income benefits aren't even close to enough to keep people out of poverty, new research shows. Those earning less than €377 per week below the poverty line, but the jobseeker's and disability allowance are just €254. www.thejournal.ie/ireland-soci...

A Cork man who went missing 34 years ago was located deceased in the UK this month - and LGBTQ+ campaigners say he was just one of a whole generation who fled Ireland’s anti-gay laws and repressive society in the late 20th century. www.thejournal.ie/patsy-osulli...

Heads need to roll for this. Cabinet ministers can't just lie to the public like this. #Spéirgorm

"What, according to Jim O’Callaghan, is supposed to happen when a child expresses discomfort about hugging an older relative? Their parents should make them do it anyway?" Here's a Surrealing in the Years Bank Holiday Special. The commenters absolutely love this one, I'm sure you can imagine.

If you get a new dangerous dog and you tell everyone it's dangerous and you let the dog off leash in a kid's playground and it bites a kid, the dog will be put down and you will be held responsible. Unless you're an AI company in which case you say "it could have killed us all!" and everyone claps

What if we treated them like the toddlers they are and instead of reporting on the hissy fits like they were serious things that meant anything we just said “oh don’t be so silly” and “go and have a nap”

I've lived long enough to watch "the center" move so far right that the GOP can now enthusiastically embrace racism, bigotry, white supremacy, dictatorship, rape, kidnapping and pedophilia and win national elections on that platform.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Sinn Féin morning meeting today: - Did you see the election results in Serbia and Brazil? - Oh I did aye, very unexpected. - I wonder if there's any lessons in that for us? - Let's go ask Matt Carthy, and maybe check Peadar's tweets, sure he's a gas man, Peadar! - Bang on.

Shout out to the woman at the marathon with the sign that read "You've been running from Mam for 32 years what's another 42km?"

I got this made by a guy on Etsy for my husband's birthday and I am extremely proud of it, however inaccurate its message may be. (yes that's @sepinwall.bsky.social's Breaking Bad 101 in the background)

Kids know it's OK to hug their granny if they want to. What they don't know is that it's OK to *not* hug granny when they do not want to. It's important to teach that to children and these people don't want us to.

He thinks he has no morals or politics because his opinions as a cishet white man are the default. Anything else is a divergence from the norm and therefore a "stance"

My son did quite a few small bits and pieces until he was about 13 years old or so. 1 feature length movie, a few episodes of a major TV series, lots of ads and lots of promo photo shoots. He was paid for all that work. The 2 things he did for RTÉ earned him exactly €0.

Anyone going on BBC this month should order one of these beforehand and let them sweat www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/pri...

imagine if it happens on tv

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Empower kids. Support adults who support them.

This government, who moved with rapidity to remove this campaign from circulation, targeting a charity with attacks on their credibility, responded earlier this year to the mass production of non-consensual sexual imagery on X with little more than a shrug.

Telling my Mum what the kids are dressed up as for Halloween and feeling very K-smog and Zoosha

Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

A lot of international coverage of Ireland opens with a preamble about how it used to be a poor, conservative country but recently became wealthy and liberal. Given that we now have adults born in 2008, I wonder if it is time to retire this preamble? They don’t use it for Norway or South Korea…

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

Ireland is cursed with fucking idiots in positions of power everywhere.

*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*

I find it quite odd that Jim O Callaghan, minister for justice is complaining that the only cases affected by the legal work to rule are rape cases. He was the one who pushed for therapy notes to be made available for this sort of trial. He does not have to best interest of the victim at heart.

Kids are not your fucking property
