Emily Maitlis not a doctor not trans not an expert in this field worked for ideological reasons to get healthcare for kids shut down, paid for by the licence fee - and she complains about ideological capture. Absolutely farcical

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

tears of the kingdom: just what was zelda doing in the past?
nintendo: absolutely nothing. like it will shock you how much nothing she was up to
omega force: she was killing one million guys

There is no "ceasefire".
There never was a "ceasefire".

I don't know what a conflict of interest is

'Contentious issues'.

That last paragraph really hits the nail on the head of it.

Surrealing in the Years: Yates' Fianna Fáil dealings an open kimono moment for Irish politics Agh, my eyes. My eyes!

"You may not know this, but there exists, among certain cohorts of the public, a perception that Ireland’s political establishment and media establishment are too intimately connected. And what on Earth would give them that idea?"

Happy Saturday, it's time to read my column.

How do I choose?! 😭

“Do you think Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza?”

That question, which the EU spokeswoman declined to answer, gets journalist Gabriele Nunziati fired.

bluesky mods retire bitch

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords.

This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

Simon Harris thinks there's too many immigrants, does that include the kids of the Lisdoonvarna Crew? The kids in direct provision? Cos he was content to use their song without permission. #speirgorm

April: If we don’t get Housing right in seven months, we’re screwed.

November: Housing crisis here until 2040.

I think in general I have a fairly high “politician forgiveness” threshold because I understand they face a firehose of shit everyday and also in a democracy they have to comprise all the time, but Simon Harris not standing up for immigrants in this moment feels like one that crosses that threshold

Every minute without a strong statement from the Irish government about the arson and attempted murder in Drogheda is another minute of silent acquiescence to the far right - by remaining silent, the govt is making it very clear which side they are on.
Everyone who is here, belongs here.

Excellent letter from Wendy Lyon in today's Irish Times.

If a PBP TD said that there were too many foxhunters in Ireland and then there was a arson attack on a hunting lodge that night, you can be damn sure that Simon Harris could join the dots.

He really should resign.

Repeat until this message is understood… by politicians and media.

‘Catherine Connolly garnered 914,000 first preference votes, the highest number ever recorded for any presidential candidate in Irish history, by explicitly rejecting far-right narratives throughout the course of her campaign’

Dragged my Swan's relics up a.but and finally got the 2 star before it goes. At least my improved Swan will help the DOT team going forward 😂 #HonkaiStarRail

To the people who piled up their coats on the one chair with any support in the club: I hope you step on a LEGO brick.

Look, I missed the boat for Abracadabra. But can I get the DJ to play Kill for Love pretty please? 🥺

Genuinely can't relate to how one could leave your phone on a toilet loo roll dispenser. That doesn't mean I leave it there though. Handing it to the bar for safety!

Granted it's the song she hates and demands a bucket load to sing. But still, you'd think a nightclub purporting to be a trans inclusive space would want to avoid having her on the playlist after what's happened with her in the last year or two?

DJ in Mother playing Terfy 😬

Excited for next week's patch to indeed say goodbye (and good riddance) to Cyrene. There have been highs but very much ready to move on from Amphoreous. Hoping all the Irontomb stuff resolves in a satisfying way! #HonkaiStarRail

It pains me to have to talk about this again but presenting this as an "elephant in the room" is bizarre. The spoiled votes have got as much coverage and media attention as the actual winner, and it's baffling this is still being discussed let alone claimed as underanalysed

And I also hope Jim O'Callaghan will know no peace. This cruel, cold and bigoted man could soon be the leader of this country.

OK, we're going to need to know how the "fireworks" line made it out into the media, when it very much appears that this is a clear-cut case of arson.
