30years!! It’s not quite as bad as doing nothing, but it’s very close to it. #DerelictIreland dreary, dispiriting, neglected, abandoned, hoarded, crumbling, stagnant, Ireland.

If the owners can’t be found, let the councils take them over, sell them and buy them after when the owner shows up.

Complaint v Ireland to European Commission re process appointing ex-Meta lobbyist as Data Protection Commissioner Ireland's appointment process lacked procedural safeguards against conflicts of interest and political interference and may be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity

We filled a complaint against Ireland to the European Commission today.
Ireland has appointed an ex-Meta lobbyist as its new Data Protection Commissioner.
This will be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity.
The European Commission must intervene.

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

These are Crimes Against Humanity. Moreover, this is also wanton sadism. And sadism never exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD). The Republican party is institutionalizing-normalizing Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

“I took this gig in good faith, assuming that my head would be chopped off before I even got to the hotel. What I found may surprise you/make you a hypocrite. Right? No? What else what else”

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Any reason you’re not posting this fucking insane clip everywhere?

Is Bill Burr still on the docket? I really thought he had grown to be a better person. I'm not surprised by anyone else really.

In theatre there’s a narrative principle attributed to Anton Chekhov that if you introduce a gun in the first act, it has to go off in the third act, otherwise you shouldn’t introduce the gun at all. Elements in the story should be necessary/relevant to the plot.

Part of the reason it’s so important that we celebrate the death of this Nazi bitch is it’s time to draw a line in the sand and tell centrists their performative respect for the deaths of the worst people on earth isn’t going to fly any more

a society that treats anyone horrified by a genocide as an extremist and demands that public figures eulogize a nazi, is a fascist society. that's where we live

'Perhaps the worst moment': Israel on OTB passage Israel was ‘helping to support the Irish government's stance’ to block the legislation.

The Israeli justice ministry told a controversial pro-Israel lobby and US politicians that the Dáil passing the Occupied Territories Bill was 'perhaps the worst moment' of 2019 – and spoke of Israel’s efforts to 'support' the Irish government blocking it.

The UK government plans to prosecute the families of trans children in the North of Ireland if they access private healthcare and I would like to know what the Irish governemnt is going to do about this...

Why are you letting the Brits terrorise Irish people?

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

Lessons from an asylum hotel counter-protest: calling our opponents ‘fascist’ doesn’t work | David Renton When anti-asylum demonstrations have so much support from the mainstream, a smarter, more tailored message is needed, says campaigner and barrister David Renton

"There is, in other words, probably no single group of people – not in Britain or anywhere else – who are more prone to violence against women than the people now standing outside the hotels denouncing refugees"

Air pollution from oil and gas causes 90,000 premature US deaths each year, says new study Study analyzed health impacts of fossil fuels from exploration to end use, and found communities of color bear brunt of harm

"Air pollution from oil and gas causes more than 90,000 premature deaths and sickens hundreds of thousands of people across the US each year, a new study shows..."

If MAHA were anything other than dipshit reactionary fantasies & conspiracy theories, it would focus overwhelmingly on air pollution.
