Michael Martin should be in Ireland pledging support to children with disabilities, Children needing support in school, Children with scoliosis on waiting lists, Elderly people living in homelessness, Children living in homelessness and families struggling to pay bills. But there are no international headlines in those stories.
20 years ago the quite wonderful #BrendanGleeson stated the truth, and what did we do..? We did exactly what he warned would happen if we "vote for this crowd to get back in" and we have the same "bloody moron who screwed the place from the time he came in until he left [@MichealMartin]". This mess is on us, the electorate are screwing us all in expecting different outcomes but entrusting it to the same morons while 200 die every week waiting on hospital admission, children are subjected to unlawful surgical procedures, and 15,000 more people homeless since this shower came into government. #IrelandIsBroken
To the people who managed to get a community note pinned on this image, claiming it is AI:
The image was taken in 1966 by Australian journalist Tim Bowden, who was embedded with American troops.
It was published more than half a century ago, and continues to be one of the most iconic images of US brutality during the war. It has been republished countless times since then in reputable media outlets (including the one below). It bears zero hallmarks of being A.I. generated.
Nevertheless, politically-motivated people on here can't stand the thought of the US not being the perfect liberators, and have decided to lie through their teeth, providing dodgy references that don't even comment on the picture.
Score one for community notes.

Yes, I've played elite level sport where my particular job was running with a ball at feet at around 30kph+ multiple times a half.
6 ft 4, 95kg.
The tactical information given to me through a 7 day, not 3 minute period sufficed, as did the occasional squirt of electrolyte water per half.
My performance would not have been improved at all by a hydration or tactical break.
Pretty much like 99% of players over a 150 year period playing the most popular and most played sport on the planet by far.
So maybe you can tell me. When was the last time you put your fucking dorittos, big gulp and chicken wings down long enough to know what professional sportsmen need rather than advertising executives or couch potatoes who need to be told 6 times in 20 minutes to buy a Jeep Cherokee, Whopper or diabetes medication instead of just enjoying the sport?
Palestine may not have made it to the World Cup, but Bosnia and Herzegovina fans are making sure it is always present, whether in Canada, the U.S. or football stadiums everywhere.

@Mike_ThePundit For once the referee actually punished Arsenal for their anti football, sleezy time wasting shite. Best team on the night won, plain and simple. Not one football fan in the rest of Europe wanted arteta and his band of wingers to win that game

Moment of complete madness by ex-Jambo Sam Nicholson for Celtic penalty v Motherwell in 95th minute. Nicholson runs & jumps elbow first into Trusty's jaw, then does a 'hand of God' to knock ball onto his own head. Absolutely mental.
Check out this satellite map of Dublin from 1966! Yep that's right,
on 19 February 1966, a KH-7 GAMBIT reconnaissance satellite operated by the CIA passed over Dublin. This magic window on our city just before things went international. You can zoom in to surprising detail. Go fullscreen then use the transparency slider at the bottom right so you can compare now with 66'!
KH-7s primary purpose was Cold War espionage against Soviet and Chinese nuclear and missile installations. This slice of swinging Dublin was used to calibrate. Mad what I find lying around the Dublin Time Machines magic drawers. The photo below is just a screenshot, you've to click the link

The Pope, Spanish and Italian governments standing in opposition to Trump and Netanyahu.
Roman Catholicism is leading the way on matters of justice and injustice in our time.
All we need now is Celtic to win the league.
