An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

It is so so grim to realise we are probably stuck with this government for another four years. The most hapless, ineffective, “do-nothing and blame everyone else” group of wasters we have probably ever had.

Tech giants Meta, Google and TikTok are before the Oireachtas Media Committee today... as was long flagged, X has refused to take part.
X even went so far as to reject a written request from the Taoiseach to appear before the Committee.

Why is Micheál Martin even Taoiseach? He has no goals, he has no plans. He doesn’t want to do anything

In 2023 the UK government legislated that veterans who, like US ICE officers, shot their fellow citizens dead, on camera - for protesting, would never answer in any court - Civil, Criminal or even Coroners. With no pushback from the left or electorate.

Lemanaghan was founded by Manchan in the 7th century. It's a highly significant early monastery. Well worth a visit if you're in the midlands.
