Also, men often fail to recognize that their need to be viewed as rational, logical, and not ruled by their emotions, is an emotional need. Because if we're able to describe why something is good or bad we think we won't be judged for *feeling* good or bad about it. We're avoiding being vulnerable.

The man who took food and medicine from the world’s poorest people, condemning thousands to a miserable death, is the world’s first trillionaire.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

His dementia must be worsening if they need to label rooms for him

Good news! -- a bunch of housing is about to open up!

I can't breathe. A thing of beauty.

Bad week to be a famous sex pest named Andrew

oh yeah, for sure a career military prosecutor who served three decades in the idf is gonna collaborate with a hamas militant to falsify evidence against the idf in order to leak it to the press and resign her job in protest and face charges. makes way more sense than “we tortured some folks.”

Bernese dog owners are having a walk/gathering on Sunday at 1pm in the Phoenix Park to pay tribute and say goodbye to Michael D and Misneach. ☺️

LOL Microsoft just informed me that they want to raise the price of the XBox subscription from $23 to $36/month. Yeah nah. Subscription cancelled. The greed is off the charts.

The Catherine Connolly campaign has reignited my urge to learn Irish. I have the Now You're Talking book and tapes from 25 odd years ago, but of course no tape player. Someone has handily converted the tapes to audio files you can listen to here: www.tripswithkevin.com/irish-on-you... #speirgorm

Missing cat, Balbriggan area

Imagine what a government on a windy rock in the North Atlantic could achieve? If only they weren’t doing oodles of media training with mediocre providers who don’t have ethical slides in their deck. If only they actually governed.

This round orange cat has zero stress about Monday mornings.

This. A thousand times this.

I think in general I have a fairly high “politician forgiveness” threshold because I understand they face a firehose of shit everyday and also in a democracy they have to comprise all the time, but Simon Harris not standing up for immigrants in this moment feels like one that crosses that threshold

When ChatGPT was asked to rate 40,000 résumés, it ranked the older male candidates as better quality than the younger female applicants.

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

if no one will give him a chickpea, he's just gonna go back to his house by himself and sulk and probably never come back. and you will have to live with knowing YOU caused this. think about that as you eat your precious chickpeas.

So here we go, my 23rd offering, publishing in Ireland and online on Feb 5, all going well. The story of yoga teacher Lydia during the most tumultuous year of her life - I hope it finds favour with my cherished readers. 🙂🙂

These three are definitely trouble.

Why do I get Roddy Ho finds love vibes off this relationship? (If you don't watch Slow Horses, you should.)

I am going to lose my fucking mind! One more time: THE REASON THERE WERE A LOT OF SPOILED VOTES IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONCERTED ORGANISED CAMPAIGN BY BAD ACTORS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO… (YOU GUESSED IT!) SPOIL THEIR FUCKING VOTES It wasn’t organic! Now shut up and stop being enragingly thick

The absolute neck of this fucking gowl to talk about "economic migration" after creating hundreds of thousands of Irish ones by bankrupting the country and then pricing them out of their homes.

What is happening ? What hope is there for humanity when a priest espouses hatred and homicide 😔

Wed: “Our migration numbers are too high”-Simon Harris Thurs: “Taoiseach and Donohoe back Tánaiste’s remarks that numbers migrating to Ireland are ‘too high’” Fri: ”migration numbers too high outside of international protection…as well”-Simon Harris *Arson attack on infants in IPAS centre.*

This is truly awful news. What a relief nobody was badly hurt. The Tanaiste and other politicians should really reflect on how their ‘too many migrants’ comments this week embolden the arsonists and rioters. #SpeirGorm www.thejournal.ie/fire-ipsa-ce...

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.

Say what you want, but these companies’ commitment to releasing half baked, insecure, or just plain dangerous products is something to behold.

Happy Halloween! Puppy kisses are half off tomorrow. 😁

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no longer a Prince, but his daughters are still Princesses. Previously, he outranked them so they had to curtsey to him. Now, they outrank him, so he will have to bow to them. The Royals take this shit seriously, even if no-one else does.

Dr. Jérôme Lejeune leaped to her assistance, offering to get the pictures made. She handed over her slides, all exquisitely prepared, and never saw them again. Dr. Gautier was stunned to learn that soon after, at a scientific meeting in Montreal, Dr. Lejeune had described the findings as his own.
