men describing pregnancy: it's not a big deal, your body was naturally designed for it

women describing pregnancy: yeah 7 of my toenails fell off, my liver and spleen switched places, my lung fell out of my butthole, and I began seeing an entity known only as "the shadow lady"

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

A Homeless Asylum Seeker Set Up a Tent Outside the International Protection Office. Staff Called GardaΓ­. - Dublin Inquirer In an unfamiliar city, it seemed like a place Aysar Hamad could find protection. The Department of Justice says he was blocking the entrance.

They didn't tell me it was an offence to pitch a tent for this article about the very first guy who did it outside the IPO, said they arrested the guys for "public order" offences, and declined to comment on why they allegedly destroyed the tent www.dublininquirer.com/a-homeless-a...

Tfw for a split second you consider your auntie's point about not fighting with each other.

That's it! That's everything X is in trouble for in Europe.

It's kind of a nothingburger. It is not about speech.

Anyone who tells you otherwise has something to sell.

There are three charges. One about blue checkmarks and two about transparency. Nothing to do with what content X should or should not show users.

There is underlying political disapproval about that, for sure. But X's violations are so flagrant, it would be weird if the EU *didn't* enforce. 2/

Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship.

That would, indeed, be interesting. But this is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring laws that would get bipartisan support in the U.S. (I bet similar bills *have* had that support.) 1/

I've said before that Ireland is simply catching up with the rest of the Europe when it comes to the far right, and this "they're all adults, actually" is one of their talking-points from 10-15 years ago.
In Sweden they were called "skΓ€ggbarn" (beard-children).
None of this is in good faith.

People need to understand that there is NO scientific way to determine whether someone around the age of 18 is actually over or under it. We are not trees, you cannot just count our rings.

After Coming Here Without His Parents Looking for Safety, a Migrant Child Is Left to Live Alone Among Adults - Dublin Inquirer Although Mthokozisi Ncube has a birth certificate saying he is 16 years old, Tusla does not believe he is a minor.

I see the Indo has a story implying every young person assessed to be an adult is "actually an adult", sharing this story I did in 2022 when a child was told he's an adult and left to live with a bunch of men. When the story ran they accepted it was a mistake. www.dublininquirer.com/after-coming...
