My last thought on the presidential elections is that we had to suffer through every stray thought that passed through Ivan Yates' brain, amplified by the media, without him ever saying he was being paid by one side, but it was only after the election that I read a 'who is Béibhinn O'Connor?' piece.

"Everything is being judicial reviewed" (sic).

This is a bare-faced lie by the leader of our country, told to deflect attention away from his own government's abject lack of either a solution or plan to fix to a housing crisis of its own making.

Scandalous.

If you blame migrants collectively for the horrible actions of a few but do not hold white people collectively responsible when white people commit heinous crimes, that's racism. Just saying.

'Member all the Irish wankers bemoaning "political violence" when Charlie Kirk was murdered - has anyone seen if they have anything to say about the attempted murder of women and children in the Drogheda IPAS centre?
No?
Funny, that.
I've lit the fire and ready to binge on Only Murders. #Cosy

Nothing I watch this Halloween can compare with these lines about midges I just read in Jane Powers's "An Irish Nature Year"

"When history judges us, it won’t ask how “agile” we were.

It will ask who we housed, who we fed, who we sheltered, who we lifted up when the lift got stuck.

That’s the only kind of fast that matters."

Biab is a decent alternative if gel is too hard on your nails. They don't need to strip it back to the nail surface when reapplying so less damaging. I find it thicker than gel and dislike it for that reason. Tbh I gave up trying to get appointments, just do my own now from time to time.

Also, we can't let people away with this 'not us' stuff anymore. It absolutely is us.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.
I hate that I can't lock down this account but I've found a way around it. Deleting old posts en masse.

Far more significant than the podcast is Ivan Yates working with a national broadcaster Newstalk as a pundit when he was working for FF as an advisor ...surely the regulator has something to say about this ? www.newstalk.com/podcasts/cal.... #Spéirghorm

This is grey but it's my go-to. I don't sew as a rule, must've gotten it half used from my mum.
Great. It's so good. Might watch it all back some day.
It was such a great line. Yes, Cartwright was perfect for it. I've binged the whole series in about 48 hours and now I'm gutted I've only 1 ep left.
Haha! I just saw it and I immediately wondered if they'd written that whole event so they could deliver that line!
I have reached the actual end of a spool of thread. Has this ever happened?
Oh no. I'm sorry Anne-Marie. It sucks.

"Why won't she leave?"

In 2023, 51,100 women and girls were killed by partners or family members, about one every 10 minutes. Nearly 1 in 3 women worldwide (≈736 million) have suffered physical or sexual violence in their lifetime by a partner or family member. The real numbers are likely higher.
