Lads I think we need to all revise our Irish so we can have chats here without the Yanks crashing through the wall like the Kool-Aid man to make it about them #Spéirgorm

I know Greta Thunberg said the story isn't about her.

But it's really important she speaks out and tells exactly what abuse she received.

When the world sees what Israel is capable of doing to her, they will know the horrors they inflict on Palestinians are all true.

That is quite literally not true; and we have examples from only a week or so ago.

Disney was forced to bring back Jimmy Kimmel due to backlash.

Cracker Barrel undid their rebranding due to backlash.

Listening to your userbase is a key part of running a business, including a social media site.

See if I were in charge of a social media site whose entire user base is "people who are sick of Elon's shit" I would go out of my way to NOT post Elon shit, but I guess that's why they don't pay me the big bucks

Sílim nach n-úsáidfidh mé na meáin shóisialta ach i nGaeilge nó teangacha eile anois.

Níl faisistithe aonteangacha (Béarla) go maith ag díriú ar staidéar teangacha eile.

Tá daoine go leor anseo agus ar líne trína chéile leis an cúairt stáit Trump ar Sasana. Ní thuigim cén fáth?

Is é an córas polaitiúil céanna i Sasana le céad/caoga bliain ó shin, nuair a thug síad airgead agus gunnaí dó paraimíleataigh dílseacha.

Ní cairde linn iad.

She blocked me after I asked for a single example of his alleged "civility".

I guess it's easier to block instead of finding a single clip of Kirk saying anything that wasn't racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or generally hateful.

"inaccurately or incompletely reported"

Looks at bio: Reporter for the Atlantic.

Isn't it your job to research a story and find the context and report it accurately. Claiming ignorance instead of doing the bare minimum sleuthing is just admitting you are bad at your job.

Please, do provide us with a recorded clip of his "civility". If you believe that's actually true.

Even mainstream media can't find a single minute of dialogue where Kirk isn't actively spewing hatred and dehumanizing out-groups. And he's one of the most recorded people on the planet...

@wsj.com the ATF literally said that was an unsubstantiated rumor and there are no details being shared about the ammunition or rifle used.

This is awful and biased journalism that stokes an already politically charged environment, and it is going to get someone hurt.

Ireland should host its own non-genocidal song contest with other countries who are boycotting Eurovision.

And if they make a scoring system based on actual fan-voting (max 2000 per country to even out population differences) then I'd love it even more.

Media pundits shedding crocodile tears for Kirk should have to read the last few days of his hate-filled posts before making statements of sympathy.

Celebrating anyone's death is bad, but to pretend Kirk wasn't openly inciting violence and hatred that inevitably came back to him is disingenuous.
