As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf. Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.

No Rapist Left Behind

Israel continues to attack Lebanon on a near-daily basis in violation of a yearlong ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Regarding the availability of fish during the Great Famine: in 1847, the matter of a lack of support for developing Irish fisheries was raised in Parliament. From 1825 to 1835 parliament voted £143,791 for stimulating 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fisheries... but only £12,000 for Ireland.

Quite apart from the fact that people have been dragging RFKj all day every day, she *wrote a book* about it and it's being promoted everywhere so yes, people can react to that as is the intention of writing and promoting a book about yourself

For almost four years now I have been getting YouTube comments from people dumb enough to support Russia telling me that Russia is not really trying their best to win this war. These people are not faking it. They really are this dumb.

"When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'"

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Just released. The most important, under-reported story of the Russo-Ukraine War since Trump became President is how the Chinese now feel that they can pile in with Russian support. They are now helping Russia across the board, with components, technical help… open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Ah, his social filter's starting to break down.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

This is the "mature debate" they keep banging on about btw. What level of cruelty we should aspire to, with the claimed fear of being seen as less cruel than a country rapidly sliding towards fascism. An ivory tower scumbag

Bret Stephens and the NYT played major roles in manufacturing consent for the Iraq War. Now they appear to be running the same playbook on Venezuela.

Pope Leo said I could try to grow weed in this fish tank in my bedroom and you're not to tell the landlord

A great time to remind everyone that the largest landlord in the Gaeltacht is now a British company letting Airbnbs.

Exactly one woman has won the Booker in the past six years www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Don’t forget this.

Soooooo...they've destroyed any files relating to him or his cronies, then?

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

Holy shit reverse MeToo is wild

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Braindead bastards the lot of them

I love how zionists are such dumb, entitled dipshits that when they see Irish people shitting on Israel, their go-to response is "but Ireland was neutral in the war!", like insulting Eamon DeValera's political decisions is going to annoy anyone in Ireland in 2025.

U might think the Catholic church would want to sit this one out....

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

Here’s a guy who ACTUALLY protected women and children

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Gardaí and political leaders have expressed shock and sadness following last night's crash in Co Louth, in which five young people were killed, with the Minister with Responsibility for Road Safety saying the incident has "numbed the nation"

Having flashbacks to profs (who I thankfully DID NOT work closely with) describing dating students as a right, a perk of the job, and/or something that should not be restricted during my PhD at the Harvard of the North.

The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

Umm technically he’s called Netanyahu’s Monster

Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.

Leaflet asking for donations for refugees from Northern Ireland. Shannon circa 1971.

not knowing how to write but taking the Big Writing Job because your parents are famous writers means writing this instead of “she put the Bible and the Divine Comedy on the table for me to see”

This is why you should not eat nuts on a plane. A friends child went into anaphylaxis because of it.

Insane

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

‘Open verdict returned in death of woman (83) who used alternative medicine.’ JFC! All that is wrong with ‘natural practitioners’ in one tragic example. 🤬 jrnl.ie/6874449 #SpeirGorm

This is not sustainable and nobody seems to be talking about it👇

In the UK, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Epstein has led to total disgrace. He's been stripped of his titles, reduced to the status of a pariah. Nobody is defending him. He's a TOTAL disgrace. In America, Jeffrey Epstein's close mate, Donald Trump, remains the president. Insane.

It's crazy how many Irish people can't swim - how hard to impossible to get kids into voluntary run swim clubs or even into pools. We're a 'rich country that's terrible at building even basic amenities.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Tesla's car biz (worth only $78 per share vs Tesla's current price of $402) is imploding. Overseas sales in Oct were -33%, the lowest start of Q4 sales on record. US EV sales at carmakers reporting monthly sales were -71% MoM & -49% YoY after Sept EV rush. open.substack.com/pub/bradmunc...

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.” Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration. Weird coincidence.
