Finding hard to swallow some Irish people saying politics should be kept out of sport when the British Army massacred players and spectators in the largest sporting ground in the country... It was political when IRFU refused to boycott apartheid SA, it is political when FAI refuses to do so for ๐ฎ๐ฑ

Imagine building a hotel beside a late night bar that has been there for YEARS before you and not putting in some form of sound proofing in the rooms and INSTEAD taking legal action on the bar. FUCK OFF.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

This is such an important question. It is baffling to me that every newspaper โย including ones here in Ireland โ saw fit to publish ill-informed swill from a total gobshite.
Rich people's opinions on things outside of their area of expertise are of no more value than anyone else's.

The fact is, for Starmer this story is just a convenient distraction from his disastrous latest week.
His demand for an apology is hollow when his own government puts out the exact same divisive & factually inaccurate rubbish day in, day out.

Growing up in NI during the Troubles involved turning on the news most days with trepidation but i especially remember how the murders of โtroublesomeโ nationalist HR lawyers - inc also Rosemary Nelson - made us feel particularly vulnerable and not only unprotected but targeted by the state.

James Van Der Beek, Dawson's Creek Star and Father of 6, Dies at 48 After Cancer Journey
James Van Der Beek has died after he was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in August 2024. The actor was best known for playing Dawson Leery on 'Dawson's Creek'.
James Van Der Beek was part of one of the most influential shows of a certain era, a show that loomed large to a certain generation of critics. Beyond that, he was talented, willing to poke fun at himself & seemed like a good man. Extremely sad news. Way, way too young. ๐ people.com/james-van-de...

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

#OnThisDay 100 years ago, The Plough and the Stars by Sean O'Casey premiered at the Abbey Theatre.
At its original production in February 1926, the audience rioted. Now regarded as a masterpiece, this provocative play is an essential part of our understanding of Irish history and Irish theatre.
