I mean, duh. Every change so societal structure, health services or employment always serves men better and women worse. See also. Poor people always worse off.

Ok, guilty pleasure....MAFS The episode where the guy who talks about "I'm a warrior" and how we need more warriors, Knights, heroes, real men. Then he drops her when dancing. Then goes FULL Streisand wanting it left out in post production to save her blushes. Howled laughing. Always the alphas.

Had a big interview recently. I'm not desperate to move, but was really drawn by the role. The interview was....flat. very muted responses from the interviewers from the start, so no clue how well I did. I thought I gave a good account of myself, but no idea how it was received. The thing is...

Fucking stunning

The finding out stage of fucking around...

Found my four sets of great grandparents in the census. Incredible stuff and lovely to see.

Eh hem

Healy-Rae speaks so well here. Pity it's fraught with hypocrisy, as many things he has said and done has actively offended and harmed countless people. Call for kindness, absolutely, but start offering it to people you haven't even taken the time to speak to yet.

Trump, dressed as an air traffic controller during the TSA strike. He's directing the plane to go up

This is something that has gone under the radar a little. Orban didn't lose to a progressive, he lost to someone just a touch less authoritarian than him.

They're literally predator technology

This man has posted on SM in the past saying he wouldn't mind seeing Greta Thunberg raped. That it's the only "action" she'll get. He's claimed Muslims are trying to take over the world. In case you're wondering who is running the fuel protests.

€505m came out the gov’t surplus. Tánaiste confirmed it’ll affect Budget ‘27. Every cent spent on haulier diesel this weekend is a cent that won’t be spent on disability allowance, homelessness, or carers in Oct. That is not a metaphor. That is the arithmetic Simon Harris just signed off on. (3/4)

The €505m package has been rejected by a leading organiser as “an insult.” Motorways are still blocked this morning. Whatever the blockades were about, they were never really about fuel. “The Blockade Is the Message” already said so. This morning just confirmed it. (1/4) #FuelFascists

They're all a bunch of twats with anti-social personality disorder.

Why would anyone be shocked that they're still blockading. Government just capitulated to two of the heaviest subsidised industries to the tune of .5 billion. They paid the hostages ransom and didn't even get the hostage.

Oh good, Trump is having a tantrum and threatening to annihilate Iran again. What a deranged world we live in.

It's great that we didn't wake up to the annihilation of a civilisation all the same 👀

Had a chat with my kids tonight about the fact that there are good and bad people in the world. Spoke about what makes someone good or bad, in simple terms. I told them we can't always stop bad people, but we can always choose to be good people. Sometimes that's all we can do, as hard as it is.

I feel like tomorrow morning will be one of those moments. I've never REALLY worried that someone will obliterate an entire country and spark nuclear war. Going to bed tonight, there's a whole part of me that isn't sure it won't happen.

The reality that news stories today about Trump might seem like an April fools, but probably isn't.

This is a decision The policies are designed to increase the value of an item that the policy makers all own. Some of them own many of them. Why would they devalue their own assets? This won't get better.

I accidentally bought an AI book for my kids. It was Amazon. I know. I should have known.

My kids have never seen, read or owned anything Harry Potter. Hopefully they never will.

Morocco sent ball boys on to steal the Senegal keepers water and towel. They got ball boys and coaches verbally abusing players They cheated. And now they've won. What a total farce.

Coddle is gorgeous

More spine, more bravery, more integrity than our own Taoiseach. Perhaps much of it is performative, but I'd rather someone who performs for the right reasons, than one who performs to appease a genocidal tyrant.

One of the most controversial political opinions I have, is that charities should not exist. Charities do the work the government should do. Charities exist because the state fails to fully support the vulnerable. And the state is happy to let people choose to support them or not.

So is McGregor going to show up at the white house again like the token far-right paddy? Despite the fact that the entire country is utterly ashamed of him, bar some dog kicking pretend journos and some lads with domestic abuse convictions that claim to want to protect women and girls.

To me, the very best mothers are the single mothers, working mothers and mothers giving their children their all, despite a lack of support. Parenting is hard. Mothering comes with additional expectations. Then doing it alone is the ultimate challenge. I live in awe of mothers that do so!

If she doesn't win, we riot at dawn

Trump threatened to bomb an Iranian island a few more times “for fun”, and our Taoiseach is off to bow down and kiss his feet. Utterly spineless. #SpéirGhorm

World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament Ireland: Okay, great! World rugby: as long as England win their game. Ireland:... World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to- Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.

Lots of (mostly good) takes on this documentary exploring the grift that is red pill internet, but there something that's almost always missing. These men are taught to control, dominate and abuse women. This needs to be front and centre.

I walked in on my 6 year old giving my 4 year old back rubs. He looked guilty, but was being so kind. The 4 year old LOVES back rubs and goes virtually catatonic. Yes, it must be genetic, cos I'm the exact same.

Woman, accidentally sends email to wrong person - "SEE WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY" Men, start multiple world wars, destroy the planet, commit genocide, hoard vast wealth while people die because they can't afford a cheap antibiotic - "MEN ARE BORN TO LEAD" FML

I see that it has taken "Pissed Off Lawyer" - JK Rowling's latest pet detransitioner - less than a year since detransition to find Jesus and become a raving MAGAhead. Every single prominent detrans voice I have come across is an ideological warrior, promoting Right Wing talking points. 1/

Every Conservative talking point has a foundation in disinformation. Everything is a lie, because it has to be. The hatred in society is manufactured. Don't fall for it.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

THIS Billionaires and multi-millionaires are causing LITERAL societal destruction. They're driving poverty, starvation, wars, genocide. They're stealing your money, your data, your ability to own a home. And we quietly allow it.

This is very interesting. Met me give you my somewhat knowledgeable perspective on this, and why it is utterly discriminatora thread 🧵 jrnl.ie/6979820

Just my 4 year old psychotically saying "Illuminati" over and over again this morning! Totally normal day.

Noam stopped serving her purpose to the regime and had been fired. Easy for Trump to pretend he has standards. But will she go quietly or go full MTG? The 'pick me' women never learn, that they and the people of colour are the most disposable and will be scapegoated.

Proof, again, that TERFS are fucking toxic ally wrong on absolutely everything.

The white western privilege of traveling to a country and centering yourself in the violence that erupts there because of your own government. Then getting a flight home while the people who call it home have a choice between staying or becoming an immigrant the western privileged people hate.

We signed up to a 5 year mortgage last month. For this very reason. Geopolitics is not going to do a normal one for years, and it's going to get really expensive unless you're very rich already.

Bombs dropping in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, UAE, Israel and Jordan. Absolute madness. World war three has truly begun.

Some AI war videos doing the rounds. Check before sharing folks!

Despot showing he couldn't care less about global security
