Idk im not a mil guy. But that seems like an incredibly hard operation for very little gain, and its the opposite of the modern paradigm of highway warfare

New Substack post: Stranger Things fans think a secret bonus episode is dropping at midnight today, containing the show’s real ending. This mirrors the ending of Sherlock: why do people believe in conspiracy theories, and why are they so present in modern media? open.substack.com/pub/someunpl...

Meanwhile, the slow moving white bronco chase is headed towards Irish waters. Russia is trying to help Mullahs stave off overthrow in Iran. Trump is bombing another RU client in VZ. And yet a few days ago Putin still could fool Trump w/the most transparent lie. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

This is false & misleading. Families with a home subject to fair deal would be covered under the hardship clause & still not just permitted but obligated to sell the property to settle the fair deal debt. This is blatant misinformation www.independent.ie/irish-news/r...

Big, if true

MAGA misinformation is still everywhere rewriting history, twisting facts, fueling fear. It’s on all of us to push back with truth. What’s the most ridiculous MAGA myth you’ve seen lately

no, but making it any bigger encourages unsafe speeding and driers who go "oh look there's a handy parking spot I can just about squeeze into"

City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost, humanity's survival depends on it! Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane to get more people cycling. City: No, we'll lose parking spots.

Doing some research on equity tokenization and the methodology for every estimate of the potential market size is literally this meme

as for the media coverage of next years upcoming RTB regulation changes - its been absolutely vile. Every single one has taken up a false narrative peddled by the IPOA and others selling the false idea its "forcing landlords out of business" when its very benign to landlords

askaboutmoney for example is riddled with chancers trying to find out if they can use licenses to evade RTB. If they don't live there well no, they cannot, but it doesn't stop them fishing for legal loopholes.

part of the issue with housing activism is its overfocus on historical general issue & hyper lack of focus on easily fixable minor issues - such as the fact that "rent a room" style tax breaks should come with actual tenant rights. Also complete failure to recognise dynamics of house shares

This is the real punchline though

this is an excellent article & a big missing piece where renter activism is concerned www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Worth saying there's a lot of completely normal ways to put the private market into health insurance (germany uses multi payer rate setting) but all of them need govt oversight

Its a good example of an area which had vanished completely in Ireland while expanding elsewhere, and why Ireland so much has been the canary in the coalmine for what is a largely globally driven housing crisis driven by selective & restrictive bank lending policy & in conflict with govts policies

curiously, unlike Ireland, bridging finance actually increased in the UK after the bust, and is especially popular with BTL buyers buying properties to renovate & then let, in which case the increased valuation allows for lower LTVs for trad BTL loans www.mortgagefinancegazette.com/features/bri...

Its actually the reason why you see the phrase "chain free" in estate agent adverts.

and "piloting" it when its literally the most risk free type of loan Bank of Ireland can possibly offer is a publicity seeking joke

There's nothing "new" about bridge finance, it was a normal product available to movers until not long before the bust. Presenting it as an "innovation" when its the most risk free product available to only a subset of the comfortably housed elite is gaslighting in the extreme

Donating the entire proceeds of the work to a terrorist group, or any organization for that matter, is effectively working for free anyway. Much of a muchness. Can't see her winning this case on those grounds www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

Yeah, see this all the time when I'm cycling, not just motorists, but pedestrians and cyclists all playing on their phones while on the road or in shared spaces. I've seen cyclists take their phones out to look at, at every single junction

I'd recommend this illuminating article written by a Syrian antifascist as a guide for spotting leftist grifters like Catherine Connolly and Clare Daly

Regardless IMO the fact this stuff is so poorly thought out by advocates and opponents of an EU Army just shows how far away it is from being a serious policy. I reckon the stuff like joint procurement is a much more realistic approach.

It’s ironic that European FP doves are so against an EU army, given how restrained it would likely be? National armies can act unilaterally. France fucking around in west Africa, or the UK joining US invasions in the Middle East. Imagine an army that needed EUCO unanimity to scratch its nose!

"live updates" — surely not anymore?

The Eastern Europeans that I worked in hospitality the from 2002 - 2010 (even during the crash they were the only ones that would stick working nightclub hours) and kept the shrunken social scene viable, now own a lot of restaurants, cafes and catering services. Bloody immigrants, keeping joy alive
