Why aren't baby axolotls called axolittles?

Running or married to someone running a direct provision centre...

I lost my passport so had to apply for an emergency passport as I fly Sunday. There's loads of stuff I needed that they never told me I needed. So I had to fill out an application form, run to the nearest garda station in ringsend, get the form and my photos stamped, run back...

I'm TRYING, Mr Union Newsletter

Calling it a Britcard would seem to contravene the Good Friday Agreement in terms of the agreement to respect the right of people in Northern Ireland to identify solely as Irish. I would have thought that would have been a fairly easy thing to avoid.

All these creepy freaks are pedophiles

State-sanctioned child abuse

weird AI slop pictures of Trump that mostly seem to exist to make fun of his weight and the concept of adult diapers are just an instant trip to block town on like every possible level. 1) don't use AI 2) don't be a fatphobic shit 3) don't be an ableist shit 4) why?? what?? be better.

if you're wondering why we can't get a general strike done in the UK like in Italy, its because some of our largest unions are completely bought by and servile to neoliberal capitalism. Bridget Phillipson has done NOTHING for working class people in this country and her party have fucked us.

SNAs are vital part of having kids thrive in school. Mine would have never managed secondary school with out thier SNAs who they shared with another pupil. But yet SNAs were withdrawn for non physical supports for new pupils in 2016.

We could also use 500 articles on how, by slashing the Dept of Ed and other federal programs, Trump is also cutting actual evidence-based research that supports autistic students

This is how Tim Pool’s White House correspondent described the video before they posted it.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Tony Blair just came so hard he died

I'm going to show that person AI No Corrida (1976)

I enjoyed the Gen X-er saying that they should have fewer sex scenes like in foreign movies.

Non-Irish people should be told that Ireland is creased with national hilarity because the Catholic conservative candidate who failed to get enough support did a presser to talk about how Ireland had been cheated out of having a real 'people's candidate' while holding a €20K+ Hermes handbag.

The virtua fighter marketing is beyond abysmal

"“The Council just did what they usually do: keep the city grey, silent, and stripped of colour and voice.” A swift and accurate summary of Dublin as a city to live in.

you did not add “context” you “lied about the fact that this administration is vehemently anti-science, anti-intellectualism, and fueled by the ego of a petulant man baby whose whims and beliefs are as structurally sound as a handful of sand” and said it was rooted in concern and not stupidity

Country's gone

A BBC investigation finds asylum seekers trapped in dilapidated hotels, spending years in administrative limbo, indebted to criminal gangs and yes, moved arbitrarily so that they have to take taxis across the country for routine GP appointments. Government response? Stop the taxis.

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

they have barely asked trans folks how they feel about the last several years, they won’t be checking in with autistic folks for a while

Wouldn't a fleet of Dublin buses taking kids to school for free be great just to get all these cars off the road?

Claudia Cardinale and Robert Redford dying in the same week puts the world in a hotness deficit not seen since at least the 19th century

So Ebay Ireland has suspended our store, deleted all the listings which took us hours to photograph and post. We appealed, but to no avail. The shop is permanently banned from ebay Ireland and they will not give us a reason why. They will also keep all the money from the sales for 120 days or more

Shocked etc to see the “right-wing Trump loyalist” from Waterford who is a naturalised US citizen and apparently lives between Dubai and Indonesia has anti-immigration rants all over his X account

Nick Robinson is a right wing activist.

Eh, I can personally attest to the fact that you can’t actually say “whatever the fuck your want” on RTE 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pro-Palestine protesters shut down all of Italy as workers from all sectors including railways, ports, schools, and public services walk out, with one call: End the genocide.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

OK well, at least headlines are finally getting a little better...

Lol this trailer (for a game infamously struggling with sales) in 5 hours has almost more views than that funeral.

Defund BBC News

the guardian cut this from a piece judith butler wrote for them. the guardian targeted butler long before the american right did.

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated: If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

Everyone deserves a home. The absolute neck of this charlatan trying to turn desperate people against each other during a housing crisis made by people like him.

I’m sick of people posting facts and graphs about how Nigel Farage’s numbers are wrong. Fascists don’t care about facts

More than 150 lawyers and refugee NGOs report being ‘pressured into silence’ by far-right protesters. At least two groups supporting UK asylum seekers have closed their offices after credible threats to their safety www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

my mom is out of the halfway house and needs some cash to get on her feet in her new living situation. she already has a job. for those who don’t know, she got out of jail pretty recently and was facing deportation this summer. the goal is $2000.

everything changed, everything destroyed, everything gone

The combination of "I don't want to see visible evidence of homelessness" with a refusal to build housing or fund public services *is* functionally the same as Brian Kilmeade saying "we should kill all homeless people", just with extra steps.

how much did google pay to slip an entire magazine of corporate propaganda into this weekend's @irishtimes.com newspaper disguised as public communication about AI
