According to Reporters Without Borders, in 2025, Ireland was ranked 7th in the world for freedom of the press.

The United States was ranked 57th.

So we’ll be taking no complaints about censorship from US politicians, thanks.

When I said it kills 4 dogs a week I meant it.

Reminder that the greyhound racing business in Ireland, which kills about 4 dogs per week, would collapse without the millions in government funding, because nobody actually watches or supports it.

I want that for us...

Star Trek fans know the creative part of this. Ask any fan about Season 1 of their favorite Trek series and they’ll start with “Well…”

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

FF/FG spend most of their energy trying to convince us they can’t do anything about anything. They *do not* want to govern, and we should help them with that in any future election.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

That 10% for the Soc Dems is getting more solid.

He’s just describing The American Dream but you’re supposed to hate it for some reason

This is why Democrats need to compete EVERYWHERE.

We won’t win every race, but it’s stupid and irresponsible to simply forfeit certain races to incumbents. Always but especially now, we need competitive elections. And at the bare minimum, make them spend money defending seats they had won by 17 pts

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Brooklyn Tech Students Walk Out of School to 'Melt ICE' "We were like, we have such a big school, we have so many resources here, we should do something about it."

The voices of hundreds of teenagers chanting "Melt the ICE!" rang out from the snowy summit of Fort Greene Park Friday, as more than 500 Brooklyn Technical High School students went on strike from school in protest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement violence.

I don’t even remember anything special about him. He just seemed like he was genuinely trying his best, and my God we didn’t realize how rare that was going to be.

He seemed dull at the time, but Gordon Brown (texture like sun) was literally the best prime minister of the past 50 years.

Annie Lennox deserves a Kate-Bush-style renaissance.

Yeah, I had some other compilations too, but NOW were the ones I remember.

Man, it's a time capsule. Tempted to skip ahead to the ones I got each Christmas, but gonna take the long way.

My music tastes calcified right around the time my kids were born, so I'm expecting about 20 years of "choooon" followed by 20 years of "this was popular was it?"

Like so much else, this is a story about the housing crisis.
Ireland has a growing population, but a shrinking primary school population, because couples can’t even find rental accomodation, and forget about buying.
Nobody’s starting a family while living at home with their own parents.

Irish political leaders cannot claim that we need new law before the Grok CSAM machine can be shut down

Here is a table of available law to protect our children—>
