an hour after this was posted, a labour minister told parliament that customers should "alert member of staff" if a trans person walks into the "wrong toilet"

And all three are scams lol

The EU's wider rules, which kick in from February 18th, 2027, are simple: Users must be able to remove and replace batteries with basic tools, or specialized tools that are provided with the product for free, and compatible spare batteries must be sold for at least five years.

ZuckAI will tell you where you left your keys right after this message from ForgetMeNow, the premiere memory supplement, ForgetMeNow: making troubling memories a thing of the past.

I've just a Tesla with a union jack sticker on the bumper. Sometimes that Stephen Rhea meme just isn't enough.

Because these speeding campaigns only happen on holiday weekends, a sceptical part of me suspects that there's some sort of overtime hack going on...

Fianna Fáil TD Malcom Byrne was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, and the party still haven't decided if Michael Cahill brought the party into disrepute, months after he was caught doing 190km/h. I wonder why Ireland has a culture of impunity for dangerous driving?🤔 #spéirgorm

There once was a young man from Carlow, Was gifted a scarf warm and yellow, But his friends "No way, That's totally gay", So he shivers through winter, poor fellow.

In Sikh culture, when the racists started attacking us because they thought we were Muslims, we didn’t correct them and say we were Sikhs because the point is it shouldn’t happen to anyone. As a cis woman, I do not correct someone attacking me because they think I am trans for the same reason.

Absolutely one of the most fun films of the last 10 years. Still begging for a "same cast playing different characters" sequel.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Zohran Mamdani really said “if Politicians really wanted to they would, allow me to demonstrate” and it’s driving the press absolutely insane.

Has any major media platform called this invasion an invasion yet?

Oh, fuck no, and ESPECIALLY not Tesla. Waymo use radar, laser sensors AND cameras, while Tesla just use cameras. Add the fact that Tesla have major issues with door locks in accidents, catastrophic fires and they actively conceal evidence after crashes? I wouldn’t trust them an inch. #SpeirGorm

I can assure you, the sharks have confirmed they are OK. Even with all these extra people falling overboard.

It's almost as if the technology has stalled and it's not a tenable way to produce anything worthwhi... no! Perist the thought!

Can you still be called an AI actress if you have appeared in zero (0) movies or TV shows?

Today is the Israel day parade. JFREJ has never participated and won’t again this year. The claim that this overtly nationalist event is an apolitical celebration of “Jewish pride” is an obvious lie — and a dangerous one that actively fuels the conflation of Jews with the state of Israel.

"Mr McConalogue said the place for the Government to lead was "not through a sports match but through the political arena" which he said they were doing by enacting the Occupied Territories Bill by July." Reminder, the gov denied visas to Palestinian kids to come play a few GAA matches. #IrishPol

Pretty odd that this is the headline yet the fact I spent the majority of the speech talking about turning anger into hope and positive solutions which is pushed into the article instead. It's almost like there's an agenda here....

these days, if you're the kind of person who e.g. owns a mug that celebrates a loyalist death squad, the woke world will refuse you give you prizes.

What in the Plastic Patrick is this?

This reminds me of that time the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists published a leaflet with the word "Physiotherapy" spelled wrong.

Bless.

Israel has killed or injured 11 children in Lebanon every day, as it expanded strikes across the country despite a ceasefire.

I don't know who needs to hear this but stop putting parent and child parking spots near the entrance to the buildings. Parents need the extra space to get kids in and out of car seats, we don't need proximity. And the proximity encourages people to take them when they don't need them.

"Nothing matters and there's no point in even trying because it won't work" may as well be the Taoiseach's personal motto at this point.

Last year Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orban, tried to ban Pride. Tens of thousands of Hungarians donned rainbows and flooded the streets and bridges of Budapest. And this year, after Orban was ousted, the police have confirmed Budapest Pride will go ahead!

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

When the Taliban or ISIS destroy ancient heritage it's proof of barbarism contrasted with European civilization. When Israel destroys ancient heritage it's just self-defense

Is this it now? people just non-stop running the length of the country to raise money for services, Is Ireland just one big hamster wheel?

M Martin has become the embodiment of fighting to maintain the status quo, no matter if it is good or bad. His refusal to concede any change can be better than stasis is building pressures throughout the society. When he goes, they will vent.

Your reminder that thr man behind this project explained how he did it to the Irish govt nearly 10 years ago and they just ignored him.

Does he have any friends who think homosexuality is wrong? Or does he only have friends who target *other* minorities?

Mícheál Martin wouldn't know an impact if it impacted him in the face.
