The modern Irish dichotomy of not believing in fairies but being damn sure not to fuck around and find out

Google is rewriting news headlines. Using genAI. Just a small trial, don’t worry.

"How has a country that had a land war for tenants’ rights (which was deeply intertwined with our fight for independence), let landlords make insane profits through exploiting people in desperate need of a home?" @judesherry & my latest piece in @thejournal_ie #DerelictIreland

I’m now the age my dad was when he had me, I am also earning substantially more than he was when he was that age. He woke up in his own home. I’ve just woken up to find out energy prices go up by £332 in July. Our futures are being destroyed.

The children of Gaza are the most traumatized children in the world. This has been true since initial studies in the mid-2000s. But what has happened over the the past two and a half years is exponentially worse. What we have done to the children of Gaza is unforgivable.

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson says we can't have "double standards" with the international rule of law. She compares the criticism of Putin invading Ukraine with the U.S. and Israel's strike on Iran, which she says very few countries have spoken explicitly about it.

“Feminism isn’t necessary, patriarchy isn’t real” Okay so why did I just see an article about scientists creating a wheelchair to help a warped, slow sperm manage to fertilize an egg, then less than a scroll down I see an article that women who miscarry could be legally required to squat over a bucket to then turn in to authorities to prove they didn’t abort. Shitty sperm cause miscarriages, by the way.

Think about how many Democrats in the US, self-proclaimed liberals and progressives, support this:

Well, RIP Reddit

This is one of the biggest stories in the world right now...and yet it's largely ignored because it's precisely the kind of esoteric thing that today's media is structurally unable to focus on or process.

Are you guys paying attention yet? It's not about "child protection" or "national security" it's about making sure the internet is completely and totally deanonymized so that they have full control over the narrative and flow of information. "AI bots" is just the latest narrative

But definitely dont ask why the United States has a military base 15,000km away from its territory, on a coral island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, that was illegally cleansed of all of its native inhabitants to make way for the installation

oh we're well aware

straight men do not love women they love eyeliner

DO NOT LOOK AWAY. Jane Doe affidavit from June 2016. “Trump and Mr. Epstein knew that I was 13 yo” “Trump had sexual contact with me at four different parties in the summer of 1994.” “my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed.”

BDS win: New York City public hospitals commit not to renew Palantir contract after activists raise concerns over its complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and ICE violence. #PurgePalantir

So it turns out almost every member of Congress did insider trading on the #IranWar They bought stock options and future contracts on oil Some made milllions Imagine a country sending young men to war- and their first instinct is to call their stockbroker

the reason they thought people outgrew ADHD is that they were studying men, and when men got married, their wives took over the load of executive functioning, making sure they ate and had clean clothes to wear and made it out the door on time. that’s how invisible women’s labor is!

I was in prison with a girl who stabbed her rapist. He didn't even die. She just injured him and got him to stop. She had just barely turned 18 and they locked her up until she was 24 years old.

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵 As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late. 👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags: 1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period. 2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER. 3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp. 👉How to actually stay safe? 1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend. 2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it. 3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it. 4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.
