This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

If the rumours are true I used to work in this place. Weirdly the only job I ever had where they specifically outlined that you couldn't deal drugs from your locker.

Dudes would rather pretend to have mass hallucinations rather than admit they saw some Borrowers.

This kid is awesome, actual hero.

I cant believe I’m saying this, but, errr ….. (whispers) - fair play to the Dubs. Emwhere are the rest of ye #speirghorm www.rte.ie/sport/footba...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will skip the signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Davos after Switzerland confirmed it would enforce the ICC arrest warrant over war crimes in Gaza.

i'm trying so hard not to say the obvious here

I have seen the good the hot school meals programme can do, the downsides can be worked on while they keep delivering that good

I hate Chris Pratt so much that I’ve bought tickets for competing films on opening weekends with no intention of actually going. I’m just in it for the love of the disdain.

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

Maith sibh ✊ buafaimid

he’s been preparing for this moment by working alongside jim o callaghan, who had young children deported from ireland to nigeria abruptly, without the chance to say goodbye at school, leaving them & their school community completely traumatised

Listen, this is the level of idiotic discourse you can expect when your Deputy Mayor is a discount Darragh O'Brien

Incredible this is not being dismissed out of hand but look, every day a new outrage.

Dudes rock

what occult pact did he make to keep getting roles in spite of being box office poison

He's been posting stuff like this for a bit and it's hillarious because it's fully inspired by fear of losing platform which in this man's case means his entire life.

Jon Voight's awful head Jared Leto Awkwafina Rebel Wilson James Cordon Miles Teller Matt Smith's awful head Amy Schumer Kevin Harte Dwayne Johnson

Sure he may as well take a quick trip to Béal na Bláth while he's here

I realise Laoise de Brún is an easy go-to for MSM journalists writing about trans people but given her history of not knowing Ireland is bound by EU law in this area, maybe she shouldn’t be your only legal source

Finally, a flag worth fighting for.

"The [Law] [S]ociety said a “sustained political campaign” in the lead up to the proposed scales had faulted the justice system for delays in housing and infrastructure delivery, but no evidence was provided to support that." www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/20...

I visited The Lunch Bag in Nenagh and saw first hand how these meals are sourced and prepared. I've experience of this scheme as a parent too. Is it perfect? No. Does it provide a meal for children who need one? Yes. Should it be retained and improved? Absolutely.

SF raises this at Leaders’ Questions today - Simon Harris says “due process” is to allow the board of Bord Bia itself to make a decision about the chair’s future Pearse Doherty in reply says under the law, the board doesn’t have the authority to remove a chair - the minister does

Mary Lou McDonald has written to the Taoiseach seeking the resignation of Larry Murrin as chair of Bord Bia. Sinn Féin says it’s inappropriate for him to chair an Irish food promotion board after it emerged that Dawn Farms, of which he is CEO, imports beef from Brazil to be sold in the Irish market

January orders are finally out for delivery, AND it's the last few days of the sale - if you've had your eye on something, please take it off, it's making the print slightly soggy. www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

The tech industry #enshittification continues at pace. I recently reported another outright scam that was appearing above legitimate results (as a sponsored ad) but Google replied to say that it did not breach their policies. www.rte.ie/news/primeti...

I forgot anteaters exist is a series of info-dump sessions allowing us to learn about the world through the special interests of others. Each session invites someone new to come and share their knowledge on a topic of their choosing. Find out more here: a4sounds.org/anteaters

At our Repair Café last weekend, we were delighted to be joined by some of the team from the Cork Repair Cafe. If Dublin is a bit too far for your broken bits, these guys hold monthly Café's around Cork. The next of these will be this Sunday in The Lough Community Centre.

For all the griping about Americans going on, the resistance in Minnesota outstrips anything I've seen in Europe in tackling the far right or state violence against migrants. Put up or shut up imo.

i could really go for some absolute power right about now. i could do so much good with absolute power it wouldn’t affect me negatively at all

Jordy Smith @vortimerjorts.bsky.social is, amongst other things, a scientist who relishes any chance to shoehorn evolution into his work, or any conversation for that matter. Fortunately for him, this is normal in both his field and his majoritatively special-interest-holding social circles.

Really enjoying Fallout S2, but it has one streaming algo trait I've not been able to articulate til now: it's absolutely jam-packed with the grammar of false endings. As in, multiple scenes per episode are written, filmed and scored as if they're THE scene that would immediately precede the credits

Man, I fucking hate that TV in particular. It's always bad news when I see it. The girl from The Ring may as well be crawling out of it.

He look like a fermented food

The Law Society of Ireland has joined the chorus of opposition to government plans to cap legal costs in environmental judicial reviews.

Very cool—thanks for the update! Today I got gassed by the federal government two times within a few blocks of my house

I needed this thread this morning.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have some mixed feelings about some of the films themselves but the combination of One Battle after Another, Marty Supreme and Bugonia is the first time in a while where Hollywood is reflecting the moment we are in.

Just Giving People Money is the fucking groundhog day of pilot programs

Amazing to think that a singular thought is occupying lots of people across this planet at the same time “I hope he dies“

The rules-based international order has passed away. RIP u will live on forever. Cant believe it. I wanna run to u. Really cant believe this.
