Give it to me straight, Doc. Every 25 years the US goes on a killing spree in West Asia. We’re supposed to just suck it up: the killing, the maiming, the instability, the environmental damage, the destruction of archaeology, t…

Even moreso perhaps given the times. Do these interviews exist online anywhere? (Brian Moore is a rugby guy right? My sports knowledge is the inverse of my politics!)

Posts expressing gender critical views and mocking trans supporters appeared on the X account of Prof Jacob George, MHRA’s chief medical and scientific officer, who was only appointed last month

His account has now been deleted and the MHRA told us the Prof had been recused from the trial. Stay tuned…

No one will be shocked that overtly anti-trans officials have been appointed to the MHRA puberty blockers trial.

What is shocking is actual journalism being done to uncover them, and that when uncovered they've been removed.

An important step in the right direction.

Watch this space.

The whole thread is appalling but TL;DR - Scottish police extracted nudes from a rape victim's phone and gave them to the accused rapist.

Assuming you're signed in with a Google account you might want to check third party apps & services in your account settings, and maybe even a password change. That's very suss indeed.

There's a full address there if anyone wanted to write to them. There's even a hard to make out phone number for... customer service?

If you scroll over a video that does that automatic preview play, even if you don't click on it, it turns up in your watch history.

ye all know he's not talking about pivoting to renewables here, right? what I guarantee is on his mind is the massive LNG terminal that he and his government colleagues want to build in the Shannon estuary, bypassing most of our existing planning controls

“You can fool all the people some of the time & some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

We won’t get fooled again.

Until it’s signed, sealed

My neighbor told me Iranian mines keep eating his ships so I asked how many ships he has and he said he just goes to the port and gets a new ship afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding ships to mines and then his daughter started crying.

If what the President said was obviously wrong, why is the cabinet minister remaining anonymous? Why don't they proudly step up and defend the indefensible? Because Catherine Connolly isn't wrong. She's speaking the truth and cowards are afraid we'll piss off the liars.

To be left dead by attacks is the natural state of the Middle Easterner, while in the Western culture (also Israel somehow) being killed is a major taboo.

Like that that's not even a consideration because jerbsz? All these US firms just going to pack up overnight because we don't turn up one year to shake the nonce's dick? Like he'd even fucking notice? MM is the most lickspittle politician in Irish history at this stage.

Honestly insulting at this point that the government continue to insist this and similar events have nothing to do with their new legislation

This afternoon the AI Committee was told An Garda Síochána "is transitioning from a traditional style of police service to a data-led, digitally-enabled organisation."

Part of that transition is presumably a bill before the Oireachtas today - to give gardai the power to use "biometric analysis" 👇
