Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Blue Labour group urges ministers to ‘root out DEI’ to win over Reform voters Faction influencing No 10 says government should legislate against DEI in hiring, sentencing and ‘wherever else’

Grim. Grim. Grim.

Today's BBC coverage of the football trans ban is more than a little shite.

He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.

Israeli strike on school-turned-shelter in Gaza kills 25, medics say An Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in the Gaza Strip has killed at least 25 people, mostly women and children, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

It's infuriating when the waits between quality queer fare is soooo long.

Meanwhile poor Paul Mescal's latest gay romp is being panned.

The ghosts of British Rail being re-nationalised as Great British Railways is worthy of a Hollywood handshake.

The implication here from the BBC is that al-Najjar children could’ve been legitimate targets if their parents had ties to Hamas.

Children are not targets.

We must side with the child over the bomb every single time, no matter whose bomb and no matter whose child.

Every time.

And it is touting for business in Ireland.

Perhaps it's a good thing that champerty and maintenance is still mostly illegal in Ireland.

The interview just stops so the writer can start talking about the danger of trans people. Brains completely rotted by bigotry

If the B-52s were Briitish

Is there any chance she'll release another album? Endless rumours but nothing concrete.

No, UK. #eurovision

It's like live action Gummi Bears #Ukraine #eurovision.

The stage (staging so far) is a bit of a hot mess. #eurovision

Can't think of a holiday destination more unappealing than a Disney theme park in the Abu Dhabi boondocks. Have at it.

Ah, congratulations. Looking great.

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.

Some amazing frocks, fabrics and hats on show today. On the men.

The worst. I 'self-transferred' there last year on way back from Stockholm. Appalled at how awful it is. Good luck if you have mobility issues...

New records show Gene Hackman’s wife Betsy Arakawa repeatedly Googled flu-like symptoms in run-up to death Witness interviews and photographs of scene provide fresh insights into final days of Hackman and Arakawa

The grim, prurient, click-baity choices of the Irish Times.

This article is a reprint of a NYT piece. However the NYT just included the first photo. The Irish Times decided to source an additional 5 invasive internal pics of the Hackman's home.

TMZ-lite behaviour

Trump Tariffs Could Raise iPhone Prices, But Affordable Options Remain (Gift Article) Even if gadget prices surge, we have plenty of cheaper options, like buying last year’s phone model instead of the latest and greatest.

Not yet 100 days of Trump and they're already writing "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" pieces about potential shortages.

And that’s enough television for today.

Oh for the optimism of a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints missionary enthusiastically proselytizing on Parnell Street.

Can you call people 'crew' if they had no hand, act or part in the control of the vehicle during its journey?

They didn't even press 'Go'.
