Séamas O'Reilly: Trans people have spent a decade being attacked in a moral panic The poor provision of unisex children’s facilities— which reinforces gender stereotypes and inconveniences women and men both — was, incidentally, an issue I remember being quite talked-about a decade...

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

I feel bad for thinking it, but this is leaving it wide open for his family to do the funniest thing ever right now.

"As a large language model that was never a member of the IRA..."

This feels surprisingly consistent for him, given he’s such a keen fan of gaslighting too…

*people waiting for years to get an appointment to have their children or themselves diagnosed in Ireland*

Irish Times: But what if we're over diagnosing people? Have you thought of that?

I mean I guess it makes sense for the Guardian to publish it given their recent “strategic partnership” with Open AI. I do wonder who this Andrew Vincent chap is though?

Ah so sorry for your loss Rory. Thinking of you and yours as remember his life - he sounds like he was a real sound gent x

Media continues to treat it as if it isn’t its owner’s personal misinformation, hatred and election-tilting cauldron.

Has anyone seen just one news article explaining that these are not actually "reciprocal" tariffs? Just one? Please link me.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

Absolutely, it’s a much needed glimmer of unity and respect in an otherwise disturbing video.

Great news! I guess the citizens of Greenland, Yemen, Canada, Panama, Ireland, Palestine and the EU at large can rest easy now. For a while there it seemed like America thought it was completely reasonable to interfere in the politics of another country or something.

The casual and careless way they talk about extinguishing human lives is quite something. Staggering that this isn’t the core issue for American commentators.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Donald Trump has found a new weird friend in Conor McGregor. Yes, we should all be worried. Summit between a felon and the man found by a jury to have raped a woman shows that wealth and power can buy friends and influence

This is such an affront to Irish-American diplomacy. Genuinely appalled.

If you're at the point of anti-woke moral panic that you're questioning whether NORTHERN IRELAND needs public investment in equality and inclusion initiatives, it's safe to say you're out of your fucking mind.
