Now is the week to reach out to that landlord that stiffed you on your deposit over nothing. Even to just remind them, you still have the receipts. #speirgorm

i know i'm just repeating what we all already know, but the side-by-side of a football manager candidate forefeiting his campaign while his 68-year-old opponent demonstrates preternatural keepy-uppy skills and wins unanimous praise for it is historically funny

I also have minimal respect for a former Minister for Arts, Heritage and the GAELTACHT who didn't work on fluency while in office but is now promised to learn Irish if elected President.

Nice try Heather.

I'm not linking to the article but Heather Humphries thinks the Gender recognition act needs to be looked at, and trans women are not women. #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

“one of them even raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany today.”

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I know it's a bit much to ask, but I'd like the next President of Ireland to have a basic idea of what the job entails.

This is the platonic ideal of liberal policymaking: incontrovertibly correct, insane number of lives saved and overall QoL improvement, polls like dogshit and would be electoral suicide.
