Christianity absolutely requires you to welcome immigrants.
No exceptions.
No “if they follow the law.”
No “if they contribute economically.”
No exceptions. Welcome them. Treat them as a citizen. Love them.

All the comments under Tim's article are excellent and worth a read... #auspol
“Ride a bike, play some footy” is not neutral advice. It assumes time, safety, bodies that work, communities that welcome you. Plenty of kids have none of those things.

This comment under Tim Dunlop's excellent article on the social media ban is spot on.
The social media ban is highly reactionary (& a result of a wedge) and is 'neat, plausible & wrong'

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Anyone have connections with those to IPSC to see the logistics in getting something like this organised?

I know I have some people in the music industry following me. This is a great idea. A live aid type of concert benefitting Gaza on the same night that Eurovision airs, with hopefully all countries who are boycotting Eurovision participating here
I could see the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign trying to organise something like that in Ireland. It would be great if we could do something jointly with the other countries that are also boycotting. I see Zoe Lawlor sometimes - chair of the IPSC - so will sound her out.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

Simon Harris is a coward and a bully who would rather scapegoat innocent communities of vulnerable people rather than face up to the failures of either his government or himself as a leader, a Cabinet minister and a human being. Couldn't think less of him and have no problem saying it.

how are we supposed to have anything besides a low-trust society when the media refers to airstrikes that kill 100 people as a 'threat' to a ceasefire, or offers the logic that a ceasefire is something that can be unilaterally paused whenever Israel gets the urge to kill.

Just had an argument with an Irish woman being loudly racist on a Dublin Bus.
Everyone else went silent. Nobody backed me up.
If you let people think it’s acceptable to air these views in shared public spaces, then you’re giving over your country to the tiny minority who riot and stoke hatred.
