The price of a double espresso can't be twice the single since It doesn't require you open another coffee shop or hire a second barista to do the job for a double shot. All you are adding extra is 30 ml water and 9 grams of coffee beans.

Drinks should have an additional tax that varies depending on how often the cans and bottles appear in street litter. This would probably double the cost of Red Bull - strangely it never seems to give any fucker who drinks it enough energy to walk to a bin.

Hundreds of people are taking part in a peaceful protest for animal welfare in Co Tipperary today. The rally follows the death of a horse in a collision with a car while it was involved in a sulky race in Clonmel in March.

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide. The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

One month since the Black Wednesday massacre where Israeli airstrikes killed 357 people in 10 minutes. We remember the victims of this horrific attack and pray they rest in peace. 🇱🇧

Despite the dire situation in Gaza, a few surfers find joy riding the waves.

Never skip the support acts before the main gig, as they’re the future bands you’ll one day love. Waterford lads Echo Northstar blew us away a few weeks ago.

#ArtistFave15 R.E.M. #MusicChallenge 8—Cuyahoga It starts with *that* bass intro, followed by one of Stipe's best opening lines, and you know this is going to be special. Expertly penned by Mills and Berry, with bravura lyrics from Stipe, it doesn't disappoint. Legendary. #musicsky #nowplaying

Regulating airbnb being turned into another "attack on rural Ireland" shows how ridiculous and meaningless that phrase is. Increasing the available houses so people can actually live where they're from as opposed to being priced out by landlords and holiday homes is an attack on rural Ireland 🤷‍♀️

“We need to have a grown up conversation about nuclear power.” “Ok, it’ll take 4 decades to build a working nuclear power plant in Ireland, and we could build a fully renewable grid for less money in less than a quarter of that time.” “Oh.” “We good?” /endconversation.

Sign the petition to let Eoghan be heard! www.eoc.ie/rtepetition

We are appealing to RTÉ to reverse the decision to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from all RTÉ debates during their coverage of the Dublin Central By-Election. All of the other eight viable candidates are included in at least one debate, yet Eoghan is excluded from all three debates planned.

This gets to the heart of why so much of Irish media is made up of people desperately hoping that Ireland is a lot more racist than it actually is.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will" - Frederick Douglass Douglass was born into slavery and taught himself to read after his enslaver tried to ban it. He escaped and lived to see the end of slavery - but never stopped demanding equality.

From raid to triumph. 🏆 On Monday, Hannah Natanson and the WaPo won the Pulitzer for Public Service for coverage of the Trump-Musk "DOGE" initiative. The win follows a chilling escalation in government pressure.
