“…4) Calls herself a president for everyone but…failed to meet all 5,149,139 citizens. 5) Doesn’t look as small next to big dogs as predecessor did. 6) Won’t even give Maria Steen a lend of the presidency for one day. Not a single day!” +97 more Bill Badbody’s 100 days 🫠🤣 #spéirghorm #Connolly

If you are based in Ireland & looking for some guidance on the changes in the US tariffs - mailchi.mp/cilt.ie/boos...

Post Covid, we were able to lower costs of education, increase access via online. But this will mean only programs that have on site and in person assessment will have value to employers, this will drive up costs & decrease access!

All degrees from 2025 will have to indicate if the assessment was on site in person or online continuous assessments.

what even is the fucking point

@cilt-ie.bsky.social are hosting a webinar on the changes to US tariffs. Details here: www.linkedin.com/posts/the-ch...

A good friend is going through an incredibly challenging separation. The name here is a pseudonym, but I can vouch for the validity of the case. She could really do with help from anybody that can. gofund.me/d8ce54b80

"It was odd. The big guy who was like half robot was about to kill me, and then he paused and asked if I accepted the updated terms and conditions in the firmware update. And that's where I left him"

What an interesting thread. France went all in on nuclear power plants, which are now being displaced by cheaper wind and solar. Ramping nuke plants up/down and turning them on/off puts unexpected wear and tear on pumps, valves, pipes, etc., raising maintenance costs and shortening equipment lives.

Ah, so this probably isn't helping decision making on board...

Much like Jeff Bezos, I too have personal reasons for wanting Jeff Bezos on Mars

Doping chiefs say they will investigate bizarre claims that ski jumpers are injecting hyaluronic acid into their penises to get a competitive advantage. It's claimed that it helps to create the effect of a sail that can add metres to a jump. www.thejournal.ie/penis-gate-o...

EU ambassadors have reached a deal on the legal texts to provide Ukraine with a €90 billion loan funded by joint debt. €30 billion will be allocated for financial support, and €60 billion for military aid. Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic will be exempt from the loan.

My husband left his laptop on the floor. Without my glasses, I thought it was the weighing scales. Conclusion: I weigh £1556…

Few bright spells appearing over the solar farm under construction in Rathoe County Carlow.

“Until he purges his contempt he should stay there. And if that means until the end of his days that would be his choice“ is a much more common refrain

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

We already had the real-world experience of unvaccinated people getting measles, and it's why we invented the vaccine for measles. It's one thing to be a sociopath playing with the lives of others. It's another to be gleefully stupid about it.

Next step is to talk about protecting the American speaking population of Alberta.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Unexpected Wholesomeness™ is possibly my favourite thread genre:

Like we'll never trust the country again. But to be fair we should have stopped trusting the country around the time the supreme court elected Bush 2. And we definitely should have copped on in 2016. But here we are. Sovereignty for slow learners. 2/2

I watched Carney’s speech from yesterday just before this demented ramble. Honestly if I was American I might ask to become a Canadian territory.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

Frankly: it is ridiculous that Russia (population circa 145 million, awful demographics, GDP of about the same size as Italy) is a security threat to Europe that requires US help to manage. But it currently is. Reversing that is the first aim. And very very achievable.

Can we just tell Donald that he can have Russia once he helps Ukraine defeat them.

I assume their lawyers inserted the section “from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties.” As I assume this is the limit of the immunity they are entitled to.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Passport, wallet and phones all on my person. Bag packed. Two months supply of Irish soups and tea and flapjacks sorted. Off to Erbil Kurdistan Iraq I go. Dublin airport, let's be having you! 😉😅

Humanity hits a new low.

We'll hear from Minister Niamh Smyth at some point later today... maybe she'll have heard back from X... But if the policy is keep feeding the digital crocodiles in the hope that they eat us last, I'm not sure that's a cogent policy position.

They murdered a woman who had been widowed, orphaned her child, left her wife a widow, on the public street, and now lie about her before her body is cold to protect the murderer with whose actions they make common cause. She, and every person behind her is an accomplice, morally if not legally.

On the assumption that @data.ft.com asked Grok to convert all of these executives to clowns, the final picture is wonderful.

With the risk that Grok might alter photos, do companies have a potential liability if they post content to x. Can companies & state agencies stay?

Now, more than ever, the EU needs to make it clear that Ukraine will not lose. The EU needs to put up a multi trillion euro package to support Ukraine without any discussion with the US.
