I know it's minor in the author's list of offences but this confused the bejaysus out of me in the sphinx riddle scene in the Goblet of Fire. It just did not compute.

Every single time I see some contrarian campaign claiming to be grass roots based with a good looking website it turns out to have Ganley's greasy finger prints all over it.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

every day that Heather Humphreys is not asked why she refused to meet with disability activists during the Scrap the Green Paper campaign is another day of ignominy for the Irish press. she's running on her record, yet she's not questioned on it any substantive way

When looking for evidence of Heather Humphreys' stance on animal rights, I came across several articles about a withdrawal of a serious animal cruelty case following her letter in 2017: archive.is/202508280733...

This is very annoying when it comes to kids book which are both frequently written by English people and full of rhymes. When one rhymed 'scarf' with 'giraffe' I absolutely lost all reason.

The tell is when the "free speech" warrior's argument equates to "the people criticizing me are silencing me and should therefore be made to shut up."

It's a pretty obvious tell; makes you wonder about those who keep falling for it time after time after time. Or maybe not wonder so much.

Imagine my astonishment to see one solitary woman among 7 "organisers" and that Ganley is one of them. That man will never not wish he was liked but will never do anything to make himself likeable.

No no. No, we won't be doing that. We won't be brushing the last two years under the carpet just because there is a current ceasefire. This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews

Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

She's not fit for office. It's fine if you think Connolly is unfit but that doesn't make Humphreys fit by default.
