That’s very annoying. Someone please make my WhatIsApp pronto - an app to let people know what on so they can avoid it

Ah! Okay, thanks. Never saw anything about this and google was not my friend

Dame Street is closed for an event but I can’t see anything anywhere about what’s on. Anyone know?

I’m not saying that it feels like nearly every time I have to engage with a private sector entity they fuck it up and make my life unnecessary terrible but also that is the case, my public sector friends

Without casting any obvious aspersions on that the Progress outfit the last two times I had to use Stripe it got large transactions it didn’t work and I had to spend an hour in the bank did one and go into town to the shop for the other. So *my* suggestion would be make your shit work better.

A comic from 2022 I think, Halloween week - here's the script: The scene is a darkened woods, at night. All is depicted in dingy blues and purples. In a lonely moonlit clearing we see a CABIN. its windows are dark, clearly unoccupied. A lone figure runs towards it, from the trees. Closer in on them now - we see they are terrified. The race for the door of the cabin, desperately trying to enter. They rattle the door, frantically. It is locked. They look behind them. We see the darkened, black trees of the woods. In amongst the forest, we see the black silhouette of a figure. It walks closer. Closer still. Closer - and now we see it is holding a chainsaw. It emerges into the light, slowly the shadow lifts from its face. It is wearing a mask. The victim silently screams in a rictus of horror. This can't be happening, no, no, no. Closer, closer now it lifts the chainsaw high above its head as it speaks: MURDERER: This murder is brought to you by MeUndies. VICTIM: What? MURDERER: If you're like me you'd kill for comfortable underwear - VICTIM: Sorry - VICTIM: Are you... doing a *podcast*? MURDERER: I knoooww... It's such a cliché Everybody's got one these days! VICTIM: But I thought you were trying to murder me? MURDERER: Indeed! I'm a true crime podcaster driven mad by having to change gear between horrific human tragedy and adverts for MeUndies. MURDERER: So just tap in offer code I'M BEING MURDERED with your bloodied, trembling hand for 20% off some pants! MURDERER: Now, back to the murder- [he revs up his chainsaw again] [ends]

I hate AI. I would use it for the following purposes:
*Cutting out bad election punditry on live coverage
* blocking all c***** content

I just want to be able to go online and not see palid sausages or people talking about them. I don’t feel like it’s too much to ask

Dunno if sharing photos of the violent threats and hatred on spoiled votes and thereby giving those gowls the audience and coverage they want their otherwise mainly unseen messages to get is great tbh

Obviously many of the spoiled votes speak for themselves but there was a concerted effort to mobilise in some areas that is reflected in the ballot boxes

Not sure if I’ve seen it reported that there were active spoil canvases in Dublin Central and North West, at least, by anti-immigrant reps and parties. Seems worth noting

Encountered big CC canvass in North Earl St/Henry St a couple of Sundays ago and they were knocking doors on my street the following week. Sin é

Ah you weren’t alone and I understand. Thanks again

Thank you. I know it was well meant

I am asking people if they honestly think it is reasonable or good to share a video of a kid being harassed. Just delete it

Photograph of FF TD Ryan O’Meara’s constituency office daubed with the word TRAITORS

That Indo headline is still there. There’s also a story about a TD having their consistency office vandalised although unlike RTÉ, it didn’t managed to illustrate it or outline the nature of the vandalism

I know you mean well but think it’s probably not a good idea to share footage of a kid like this without their parents permission.

You're not protecting women and children with violent protests When it becomes routine to connect migration with sexual crimes, any incident is a potential tinder box

'In June, when two Romanian-speaking teenagers were charged with attempted rape in Ballymena, there were anti-foreigner riots and violence for over a week. 

A disturbing report published by The Detail, found about half of the rioters arrested had domestic abuse complaints filed against them. '

It’s disgusting.

Gardaí called as Mary Lou McDonald and canvassers threatened on Dublin street The incident happened at around 4pm on the city’s northside.

Sorry. This is also a very odd headline for a story about women being attacked on a canvass. The account in The Journal is less obnoxious www.thejournal.ie/mary-lou-mcd...

‘Call the cops’: Mary Lou McDonald’s reaction as Catherine Connolly supporters allegedly assaulted in Dublin Two Catherine Connolly supporters canvassing with Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald were allegedly assaulted in Dublin's north inner city.

This is horrible. I hope everyone is okay but it’s an awful thing to happen. The exact people who say they want to protect women show us who they are every time. www.independent.ie/irish-news/p...

Homer Simpson doing the I pretend I do not see it meme. Really he’s wondering is The Irish Times really so desperate for content because it’s embarrassing really

I don’t know why a think piece that was probably stupid last week or the week before when it was published is being shared again tonight.

It’s wild how Israel imprisoned some
British activists from the flotilla like two weeks ago and Starmer was like: it’s a matter for Israel but there’s been an emergency parliamentary meeting to discuss football hooligans from another country and how we welcome them

It’s unreal lately. I’m in a first class carriage rn where I thought I’d be safe where it’s nearly kicked off after some older fella started playing TikToks. There’s no need! I’m not able for it

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

She did win really though

So disappointing but she’s the People’s Mercury winner

Gutted. Should have been CMAT
