Broadly:
TV news skews older.
Print news (including online versions) skews younger.

I was all set to begrudgingly vote for Humphreys, because I think Connolly *will* make multiple large unforced errors as President.
BUT…
Anyone who equivocates even a little bit on human rights is dead in the water for me.
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, I guess?

Sitting there with multiple Irish people to talk to, beside possibly the most famous woman in the world, and quietly counting the minutes til he can go home.

In the running for my favourite DC book ever.

Gonna call out this response in a positive way, for handling the mistake correctly.

This sounds like a good lead, but I don’t know what to do with it.
Gonna tag @alancurran.bsky.social and hope for the best.

Two seniors in motorized wheelchairs and holding Palestine flags being loaded up into a police van by several agents.

Not sure you’ve seen these images here, but in the UK they’re arresting dangerous anti genocide protestors for “supporting terrorism”. You can sleep easier knowing these thugs are off the streets.

I am sitting on my couch.
Nobody has needed me for hours.
Nobody needs me for hours more.
This is all I ask of my weekend.

They are deeply disappointed that they don't get to write about her for the rest of the month, so they're going to do it anyway!

Major changes promised to homeless services funding model The government has committed to fully fund charity-run homeless services, rather than have them rely on fundraising.

Oh, and it repeats the claims this will “cause“ mass layoffs, despite the fact that previous shutdowns didn’t do so, and any layoffs will be entirely the choice of Republicans.

Nowhere in this article does it mention that Republicans control all three branches of goverment, and could do whatever they wanted if they got their own house in order.

Working Class = Poverty Line + X%
You can argue amongst yourselves how much the X% is.
But it means a lot of highly educated people, and a lot of highly skilled roles, are working class.
And a lot of people living very comfortably, who like to cosplay as ”working class”, are not.

The problem is, Huey would be funnier, and he even had a bit in Power of Love about a train.
What could have been...

I feel like Huey is too generationally-specific to stick, but Daniel Day could work. He'd need to unretire a couple more times after this movie though.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Because it doesn’t count! It writes the *most likely words* in reply to your question.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Galway schools: get your shit together. The department of Education won’t bother, so you’ll have to figure it out yourselves. Copy what Limerick did.

I love the compact format, and I love the insano sales success of it even more.

Does "Pork Markets" fit the bill?

It's not even seen by anybody in charge. It's seen by some part-time worker who's trying to sort through a million pieces of paper and immediately throws the spoiled vote in a bin.
If the voter is *lucky*, the worker will spend an extra second thinking "Oh look, some eejit wrote an essay".

Birds, animals carved into fallen trees at Bearna Woods A series of wood sculptures have been attracting the interest of locals and visitors to Bearna Woods on the outskirts of Galway city.

Did he happen to mention any political opinions?
Any at all?
Seems like the kind of thing that would’ve come up in his campaign by now?
MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK HIM.

Russia has been supporting far-right influences in multiple Western countries, specifically as a tool to destabilize them. (And succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in the US.)
Who in the UK fits that bill?

Season 4 of Star Trek Discovery needs this too. The season-long A-plot was booooring, and they somehow *still* haven’t developed these characters enough to make me care. An extra dozen episodes of filler/character stories would have helped!

1. Change all her political opinions.
2. Get therapy, decide to not be an arsehole anymore, really put the work in.
3. Do the actual work that politicians do and accept the criticism that comes with it rather than being a bleedin' hurler on the ditch.

I bought literally all but one of these off the stands also. some fun issues in there.
