Last time Scotland was at a World Cup they held Brazil to a draw and beat the favourites Sweden at the group stage. And got absolutely pumped by Costa Rica, so as to make the plane home as planned

Think we've finally fixed the severe performance problems on kildarestreet.com that have been dragging on for a month, and things are once again super-fast
(Cause was a firestorm of fake browsers owned by scummy AI companies, which are throwing 1000s of page requests at us every second)

Yes, famously Ireland had a lot of postwar Scottish corporation housing and placed all of it on streets with no pavements, tarmac or vehicles of any kind

Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

The 80s: when the dominant culture opted out of caring about anything and yada yada fun. What anybody remembers about the 80s: the art and music of the people who raged against that shit
1/ I just feel that if we let young people see that we're propelling ourselves out of the geological and climatic epoch in which all human civilizations developed and fostering a brutal apathy to ecocide and genocide... it's not a particular surprise that they're mirroring the obliviousness.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

If you need proof that when Reform UK politicians wave the 🇬🇧Union Flag🇬🇧, it's not patriotism, it's just manipulation.
The Reform Party leader, waving the Union Jack in this photo was literally a Russian Spy.

There is no defending the BBC as an institution. It needs to be dismantled.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

Also certain classes of people could self-select into professions that were compatible with florid unmanaged ADHD, in jobs that essentially don't exist anymore.
I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function

I live in (what I think I'm correct in saying is) the most diverse constituency in the whole country - Dublin Central, D1 - *and* I'm old enough to remember what this place was like before significant immigration, and the idea that immigration hasn't been good for this country is fucking laughable

By the way, Jeff Bezos, you fucking pathetic coward: Zohran Mamdani got the pragmatic things he needed to get as a leader without ever submitting to the likes of MBS and disrespecting the memory of Khashoggi and every journalist in America.

We are all isolated "now", which in the logic of this post can only mean "since 150 years ago" and if this mofo remembers what things were like before that then he's burying the lede deeper than anything ever got buried before
The move into individual nuclear family homes was a huge mistake. We are all isolated now, causing depression and loneliness in old age. We should be living in multi-family, multi-generational shared spaces, like tribes

Mentioned in pub that SF prob with left might be bc its TDs notably including local one keep overtly throwing refugees under a bus. Source: kildarestreet and his own words. Response because I said it? "Brit lies." It's been months since I was out and nothing similar happened.
