A Very Irish Disaster
YouTube video by Kev Collins A Very Irish Disaster

Very alarming video about the lack of ANY emergency plans for if tailings dam of the Aughinish Alumina refinery fails, also concerning are the removal of a peer review & incomplete records in a health study on the local impact in '98

Our last Irish President could ride a sick BMX bike, our new one can destroy small children in a game of keepie-uppies. I love Ireland

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I want to say, you're not alone.

It’s okay to not feel okay, and you should never be afraid to talk about your thoughts, worries and feelings with people that you look up to. That's just called being human.

You deserve to be loved and listened πŸ’š

Title: "NΓ­ ShionnΓ‘in served her sentence - surely she is allowed to rebuild her life?"

I want to clarify something – is it the view of the Taoiseach, and of commentators, that former prisoners should be denied opportunities to rebuild their lives away from violence or criminality, even after they have served their sentence?

Given her qualifications, Ursula NΓ­ ShionnΓ‘in was perfectly suited for the role of administrative support for a TD working on the Oireachtas Committee for the Irish language, and Catherine Connolly was in the right to give her a chance.

I think it is much more concerning if our Government thinks that prisoners such as NΓ­ ShionnΓ‘in should not be given the opportunity to rehabilitate when they demonstrate a willingness to do so.

As a former employee of the Irish Prison Service, that seems to go against everything that I was told during my training.

This was a bug not a feature!

Nintendo's own faq, before last night [internet archive link in my post]

[Image of the archived link]
"
Additional information
How to play the same digital game at the same time with different Nintendo accounts

If you want to play your game at the same time someone else also plays it

* Make sure you are playing on a system that is NOT the primary console for your Nintendo Account. You will need to have an active internet connection on that system.
*The other user must play on the primary console for your Nintendo Account 
"
This is now removed. You can still trick it to work with single player via aeroplane mode - which is clearly a bug as it's not mentioned on the FAQ anymore.

It was literally a feature before. And Nintendo said out loud we could keep the old way of doing it if we wanted. They said it. Then they removed it.

That's what a lie is folks. This does not work anymore the way it once did.

Sharing a video about #Nintendo making an #anti-consumer move that has cut some people's libraries in half by making sharing digital copies much harder, directly going against their own system that was working well before that.

I haven’t seen this mentioned but it’s important. The Bunreacht, drafted in thr context of the rise of fascism in Europe, made it deliberately difficult to get a nomination to run for president. Then the Oireachtas nomination route took 20 out of 198 members, or 10%…

a crude edit of the calvin and hobbes "I'll show you something interesting" meme format. 

In the first panel Calvin's dad says "Playing okemon? I'll show you something interesting"

Second panel "The two types of pokemon are pikachu and charizard. All pokemon fall into these two categories. eevee? pikachu. mewtwo? charizard"

Third panel "mudkip? pikachu. garchomp? charizard. Despite being cute and a slug, gastrodon is charizard." Calvin (crudely copy and pasted in from the first panel replies "what about ditto?"

The final panel shows Calvin's dad looking straight on at the viewer; his face replaced with ditto's face

YouGov political favourability ratings, August 2025

Asked:
Do you have a favourable or unfavourable opinion of the following?

Fake politician was:
Andrew Farmer* (net -8)
Favourable:     02
Don't Know:    88
Unfavourable: 10

Reasoning was
*Andrew Farmer is a fake politician, used to test how many respondents reflexively say they have an opinion of a non-existent figure

Totally unacceptable. People threatening politicians, their families and homes with violence and intimidation has been allowed to fester too long. This has to be taken seriously and stamped out before it gets even worse.
